There's a New Man in My Life

I am super excited to show you all the new addition to my left arm.  I have been quite excitable with the run up to my appointment with the one and only Paul Dobleman.  This guy is AMAZING!  I seriously, seriously mean it.  There has not been one piece of work from him which I have not liked.  So you can imagine how much I wanted to be tattooed by Paul.

I first came across Paul at The London Tattoo Convention two years ago.  When a friend I was there with got tattooed by Matt Howse who works at the same parlour as Paul; Spider Murphy's.  I myself subsequently also got tattooed by Matt last year when he kindly squeezed me in as I didn't get my act together to make an appointment.  They were super busy and I did push him back so I'm super grateful that he did that for me!

Coming home last night all wrapped up.

Here he is.....

He may have a girl in every port but when he's with me he's all mine!

This was Matt's work from last year's London Tattoo Convention

I seem to have a thing about tattooing on the back of my body, aside from my actual back.  First my ankle, then my neck and now my arm!  I'm not sure if I will be attending this years Convention but I'd sure love to go just to even catch this gorgeous lady...

Are you going to any Tattoo Conventions this year or have any ink coming up?  I always love discovering new artists.  I have a few more designs in mind on my list to have done at some point but not all of them are assigned to an artist as yet so suggestions are most welcome.


Toodles for now,

Roll VT - High Rockabilly 2012

Heyhey!

So this was just posted and I had to share it with you all!  Especially since I didn't get to go this year and then I find that they made a promotional video from last year.  It's great as it's like a souvenir to me as it was my first year at High Rockabilly!  I love spotting people I know or who I have met.  You may even find a glimpse of me along the way.

Maybe I will be back there next year but for now the plan is to hopefully go to my first Rockabilly Rave for my birthday next year.  Now that will be exciting!

Enjoy,

Ending Summer on a "High"

It sure feels like the end of summer now.  If ever there was even one in Blighty.  This here is the third and final installment of my posts on High Rockabilly.  It will be photo heavy!

Essentials of the weekend - HR Dollars & Wristband

I still have 4 dollars laying around... Wonder if I can use them somewhere ;) 

Travelling in style with the ladies!

Malin obviously could not decide what to wear; so she brought the lot!

Straight out to the pre-party on landing night!

Enjoy some Coco-Loco!

At Boro Bora Tiki bar

Malin and Sandra - after I took this I stood up and sat right back down.

I was swiftly walked back to the hotel *hiccup* 

Next mornings beach time which was lovely!

I actually only visited the beach once whilst the guys went a few times.

Not really my kinda thing to laze on the beach as I don't sunbath.

The said sunbathers, as I shaded under a parasol :P 

Impressive sand "castles"

Back to the hotel for the first Pool Party!

How amazing are they?! Loved.

The sun was doing funny things to us all!

Girlies...

First evening at the venue - priorities; shopping!

Freddies of Pinewood

Mojitos all round!

Resting those dancing feet :D

Hillbilly BBQ time next morning!

Look at those happy faces :D 

Japanese rockabilly by the pool anyone?

Have a listen...

Cuteness!

Last morning of the Pool Parties which ran alongside the flea market :( 

For some reason I have no pics of the actual flea but it was bustling! 

View from M&M's balcony

Last night out on the town, so to speak!

 Last Tiki bar visit... more cocktails!

Last car standing.

That was basically it.  My first trip to Calafell for High Rockabilly.  To sum it up?  It was a great holiday/festival rolled into one.  Would I go again?  Hell Yeah!  Maybe I will see more familiar faces next year and meet more new faces too.  The only disappointment...?  No cuties!  Not sure how that was even possible but it was.  Lots of nice hair though.

When I receive my photo shoot images I shall post them for you all to see.  I am rather excited as it was a lot of fun and the scenery was amazing.  Damn it was hot though shooting in that weather!

Next up... The London Tattoo Convention for me this Sunday.  Fingers X I can actually get tattooed by Paul or Matt of Spider Murphys!  I have one in mind for them but if that fails I have others I can get someone else to do too.  Will let you know how I get on :D


Tara for now, but not for long.

Ps. I received my replacement earring from Bow and Crossbones.  I'm a happy girl.
