Japan, soon!

In less than two days we'll be off to Japan, our most favorite place in the world.
We're not sure what our internet situation will be like yet, but not to worry, we'll find a way to keep you guys updated.
In the meantime, Nick will be at home, watching the Conspiracy.
Make sure you drop by with some coffee once in a while, so he doesn't get too lonely.

Kyoto, last year
Tokyo, last year

Ps. We're back at work around the 28th of April, so if you need to contact us, please wait until after we're back.
I won't be booking any new clients for Allan while we're gone.

Look, a wabbit!

Here's a sweet piece that Allan did oooon tuesday? Maybe?
Anyway, it's awfully cute, don't you think?

Kudos to our girl Sascha for sitting still for about four hours, good job!

Welcome to the lounge

Mondays aren't always bad.
Especially if you can hang out in a nice, warm shop all day.

Today i didn't even open my computer.
Instead i had a "do-random-practical-stuff-around-the-shop-and-also-drink-lost-of-coffee" day.
So, i hung some paintings and cleaned up in places that hadn't been cleaned in a while.
Stuff like that.

But this post isn't really about me and my non-eventful day (sigh of relief from all readers).
No, it's (mostly) about one the the things i put up on the wall.
See, our second customer of the day had made a super realistic portrait of Allan, as a present.
Nice, right? We thought so.
It's done on a computer or something like that, pretty fancy stuff.

Without further ado (there's been enough ado already, wouldn't you say?), i give you Johann's antlered masterpiece:

And here's the artist himself, at the end of what will possibly be the final session on his awesome, and now also signed, sleeve*

Ok, i did do one more thing on my "do-random-practical-stuff-around-the-shop-and-also-drink-lost-of-coffee" day that i wanted to blog about.
The other day me and Allan bought some seat cushions that i stitched together to make one large super cushion, and today we brought it/them to the shop.
It now lives in the workroom, where i've been hanging out all day, cause it's just so damn comfortable.
And it's right next to the radiator too, so it's super warm.
Tomorrow i'm putting up some blinds, so we don't have to drag the screen out from the back room every time someone has to get partially naked.

The new lounge area, featuring the new artwork. The baskets are for the customers clothes and other personal items (another new thing we're trying out)

*Check Allans blog for pictures of the finished tattoo, they should be on their way

The gang's all here

Last week me and Allan went shopping at Tiger (an everything-for-10 kr. store we have here in Denmark) and there we found the last three "The Tick" action figures we were missing.
We've had Captain Liberty for some time now, and boy has it been lonely at the shop for her.

So, today, after eating a late dinner at the shop, we finally decided to take the three new ones out of the box and join their superhero buddy on the shelf of goodness and selfless deeds!

Here they come to save the daaaay!
Oh, and tattoos were also made at the shop today.
Here's what Nick did today and here's one of the three pieces Allan did.

Decoration dreamin'

Ever since we decided that May was gonna be shop makeover month, i've been thinking about painting, putting up wallpaper (which i really hate doing, by the way), moving around the furniture, buying new stuff and putting up new art work.
But, to be honest, mostly wallpaper.
I pretty much wanna put up wallpaper everywhere.

This is the shop where we're gonna buy whatever wallpaper we decide to get.
They have a lot more at their showroom on Østerbro, but just looking at the website is pretty inspiring.

Maybe the shop will end up looking like this once we're done?
Or this?

Ok, maybe not, but there will be wallpaper and it will be magnificent!
And it's nice to have something AFTER Japan to look forward to.

Dear Blogger dot com

We really, really HATE the new "followers" layout.
The old one was just fine, discreet even, and this new one is hideous, clumsy and doesn't go with the blogger look at all.
Please, please fix this.

Love,
Conspiracy Inc.

Backpiece day at Conspiracy Inc.

First up Tina, who had her first session in a very, very long time.
As you can see, a large part is still not done, but she's pretty tough, so hopefully this piece will be finished in July.

And after her came Morten, who don't technically have a backpiece, more like a large back tattoo, but who cares!
This time they finished all the black, so with the help of some painkillers and Baldrian pills, the next session will hopefully be his last.
Up next, his arms.

Sneak preview

The portrait mentioned in the previous post.
See the whole thing here!

Fierce!

Our old friend Jon came in today to get his first tattoo ever.
He got a sweet design and he sat like a champ.
That's our boy.

When you look this bad ass you need a bad ass tattoo...
... and that's what he got, a crazy fierce wolf rockin some Specktors bling!
As if that wasn't enough, Allan also did a Hank Williams portrait today, so check his blog for pictures of that one (probably coming soon-ish)!

As promised: tattoos!

Markus came over from Sweden the other day to start a new sleeve, and while he was there we decided to get a few shots of his old sleeve.
As far as i know, it has never been on the internet before, so this is a Conspiracy Blog exclusive!
And would you look at how nice the weather was just a few days ago!

Ok, so i noticed there are no tattoos on this tattoo shop blog

Hmm.
Tomorrow i'll post some tattoo related pictures.
Maybe from Milan?
But tonight you just get a picture of a visitor we had at the shop today.
Lucifer did not like him.
Probably because i did.

Come on, how cute is that guy?
Tomorrow, tattoos.
Promise!

Two year makeover

For over two years now, we've had the crazy turquoise walls.
And while we still think they're pretty, it's definitely time for something new.
So the second Nick came back from Australia, the planning started.
We already agree on a color and theme, so now we just have to find a weekend to do it.
And since we're all kinda busy at the moment, we decided it'll be in May.

Now, i figured that if i wrote about it here, it would be kind of official and there would be a smaller chance of us forgetting or postponing.
So if you come by the shop in mid May and it still looks like this, feel free to rub our faces in this post!

It's still pretty i guess, but we need change dammit!
And here is a pictures of the shop as i was leaving today, before it got dark, woohoo (sorry about that, we've had a couple of really late days)
Our client... and Allan's hair!
We still haven't posted any tattoos on this here new blog.
Oops.
If you wanna see what kept us at the shop so late last night, go check out Allan's blog!
