Came all the way from Springs.

Watercolor

For a darker skin tone such as this, I had to keep my dark colors close. I went for black, making it grey and fusing it with blue.

This was done without any thermal stencil paper, it was drawn from scratch. But for something I was doing for the 1st time... I'm happy with the results, as is my client

Chinese Lettering

While it isn't the 1st Chinese Lettering I have done, I have a strong feeling that we are still going to see this style slot more often.

People love it a lot. And I love doing it.

It always feelings like drawing than writing, because of how I'm not used writing in Chinese. I never do, unless I'm tattooing someone

I must say this client was very happy with the tattoo...

As am I

Nice & Solid

I really don't know what to say about this one except,

I'm very pleased with how the ink went in.

Solid, just the way it's supposed to

My client's skin is highly reactive to the needle,
even as gently as I was. I like that it wasn't
damaged at the end of the session

It wasn't anything outside the realm of my experience.

Now it's all in the client's hands to provide it with the best aftercare I recommended for him.

And I, just cant wait to see the healed tattoo.

Hope you enjoy taking care of that baby of ours Sfiso

Fly As a Further

For this girl, the sky is the limit

and says it loud and bold, using ink and her flesh

as a canvas

I had to travel for this one as well

To Jo'burg this time.

The City that was once mine.

It was refreshing to be there, after all this time

Crowded as it always is. Reminded me of all the days I spent there.

And I loved every second of it.

Soweto

I was very excited to go to. Not only because I love travel,

but in this case it would give Bongzzy Bongz Art exposure 

to a whole new clientele. 

I love progress

It was the nicest business trip I've taken thus far, 

even though I didn't have time to network much

An Old Lady From The Neighborhood

She walked in at Creartive Artistri and she said she wants anything with a rose or flower

After discussing her budget for the tattoo,

I showed designs and she picked this one 

It was her 1st so it took her a little while to settle into the pain 

But when she did, we had a nice session 

She couldn't stop going on about how her friends are going to flip over this 

And that puts a smile on my face

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.

Flu's Fixing Work.

After a long time we've been talking about it, me and Flu, he has come to get his old tats fixed. I've been tattooing Flu for a while now. He saw the tattoo I did to Finkie , my 1st official tattoo, and the rest was history.

The before and after of the tattoo we were Fixing today

It was a little tricky doing this. For one, the guy who 1st did this tat put the tribal pieces to close to one another.

Secondly, this guy shading... So covering was a milestone. But all in all I enjoyed the session. It's always one to remember with Flu.

He only wanted the line work fixed, cos it was the most obvious element that gave the beauty of this tattoo away. Hopefully he finds a reason to put some love and the color as well soon.

Thanks for yet another great session Flu!!!

Africa. The Music Continent.

Music is the heart of Africa and my brother Flu knows this very well. So well that he decided to tell this story on his own body.

And what can I say, I'm just honored to have him entrust me the task of the art.
This right here is where Creativity meets Artistry.

I love doing drawings. It allows me to bring forth the skills I often only thought I'm capable of.
Thanks Flu.

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.

The New Second One

Still trying to figure out how these new machines work. 

So, something simple for someone who wants something just as simple

This guy here is one of the good friend from the neighborhood, Chicken is his name

And this here is a cover up job. 

A few letters spelling out CHICKEN on the middle vertical thread, 

is what we were getting rid of

And when he left he had that sudden look of confidence that only

a happy tattoo client possesses

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
