Flu's Fixing Work Continued

Blossom Like a Flower

I feel like, this is it.

I've been doing this for several years now an, I don't need to explain my situation.

My work speaks for itself, my hand speaks for itself.

I've come a long way with this.

 2 3 years ago, even this very last year, there were countless times when I felt like giving it all up.
Fortunately, I had the support of my mother, who encouraged me to keep pressing on.
She would always say, embrace these hard times for they strengthen you.
I didn't see it then but I sure do now.

The mother of my daughter, and the love of my life whose also an artist, kept me reminded for the past two years and some months, of just how much I believe in the arts.
And my daughter herself, who for the last years has taught me the importance of shuffling through.

It would a big mistake if I could forget about my friends and few locals who became regulars here.
They brought their flesh to me and told me I did like no other ema16, even I knew I had several levels to ascend before I could be all that.
They believed in me.

I have to say, This right here feels like another ascension and I have thank you all.

None of it would have unfolded like had it not been for each and everyone of you.

Many thanks.

Ben is All for Peace

Have I got an interesting one right here.

Allow me to introduce to you, Ben. The son of Flu I never knew about. 

How crazy is that huh. I mean if what are the odds?

So a few weeks back I met this girl who got a tattoo from me, and she's the link in all of this. A few days letter I get a text from Ben saying he wants a tattoo, and that he heard of me from Kittie, the girl I just mentioned. We are agree on a date for a session, Ben and I and on today he shows up on my doorstep.

We reintroduced ourselves to one another and ofcourse he explained to me that he is Flu's son. I was so surprised. I never thought in a million years that a father and son could have their tattoo artist be me.

This was Ben's 1st time, he wanted something small to test the pain. So he got his name and the peace symbol.

He's already talking about another design. Guess we'll be seeing him soon

Phathiswa's 2nd

This lady, is getting more ink than a lotta guys I know, in the shortest space of time.

Granted she is fixing her tattoos from long long ago. 

But still, I can't deny the rate at which she's going about it.

She says I'm still gonna see more her, and I'm saying I'm still gonna document every last one of those tatts.

Stay tuned

Phathiswa's Tattoo. A Whole New Level

I did this tattoo to cover up some wack job. 

It's not easy to fix someone else's work but I'm an artist and it's my job. I do as the client desires. It's almost like a doctor and patient. You tell me your problem I fix it, if it's within my realm of expertise. Tell me you think.

And don't forget to keep your eye pealed for more.

Make a booking for your tattoo. I'm at your service.

Bonolo, Means Gentle

She is a blessing in his life and mine

A daughter to him, and I chosen as the God Father.

And he wanted nothing more than to encrypt her name and exact birth time in his skin

My friend Jafta

The love of a father is evident right here

Sun on Your Arm

My man Mondli, loves ink

This is by far the best tattoo he's got in his flesh
Not necessarily because I was the artist but that and the  fact that I'm good at this here

Mind you, we don't even have the proper equipment yet for this, just some common objects we put together to be able to deposit the ink into the skin

But I'm excited with the results.

This tattoo is on its final healing stage here but as you can see, it already looks so good

A design from my brother Flu, I have to give probs to him for this

His skill in art is some of the best I've seen in the neighborhood so far

I know your happy with this one Mondli
