Faces of total awesomeness

Man, it sure is going slow with the blogging these days (my personal blog is suffering even worse than this one), but there's nothing slow about August at the shop!

We have a house full of awesome guests and guest artists, and on top of that, we had the black metal art show on Saturday, and seriously, just wow... i can't even express how awesome that was, and how grateful we are to the people (many people!) that showed up.
Thank you!
We had such a fun evening, and it was such a pleasure showing Allan's paintings, and our redecorated-for-the-occasion shop, to friends and clients and total strangers alike.

Ok, so the first half hour or so, i was taking pictures non stop with three different cameras, hell bent on documenting the occasion, but then people started to drink... and obviously i was in charge of keeping the beers coming while Allan and Lucifer mingled, so all of a sudden, the documenting kinda stopped!
So you'll just have to take my word for it; the shop and sidewalk was totally packed, and people seemed to have fun, like at a real party! Only with an all black metal soundtrack, of course. So yeah, who cares if i didn't get that many pictures.
In a way it was almost like we got to have the opening party we never got around to throwing two years ago, cause stuff kept going wrong back then. I hope it won't be our last party!

Pictures of all the paintings are gonna be up on Allan's blog real soon (i think he's in the process of editing now) and those that aren't sold yet will be for sale, so check up on that soon.
We also have a few t-shirts left from our very limited run made just for the show, and they'll be for sale too soon!
Update: t-shirts are up on the merch blog NOW!

Ok, pictures!

Pretty pretty... uhm, i mean gloooomy and scary, of course... ahem...

More window decor, cause i liked that a lot

I think Bob enjoyed the attention

Dino-photobomb!

Yes, the little statues are for sale too, although we were too busy to price them on Saturday!

I have a feeling Allan might keep this one, though

All wearing the t-shirt of doom and awesomeness!

The paintings are up until the end of the week, then we'll start getting the shop back to normal, so if you want to see them live, i suggest you drop by Friday, Saturday or Sunday, but as always, call or write ahead to make sure we're here.

A huge thanks to David, Wendy, Matthew, Nick, Matt, Davee and Ross for helping us out and just being awesome, and to everyone else who dropped by, thanks for coming! You guys are the best!

Sort lørdagshygge i Schleppegrellsgade

Kære kunder og venner og andre kunst interesserede mennesker!

På lørdag den 18. holder vi et lille arrangement for de folk der ikke havde muligheden for at tage til Oberhausen i Marts og se Uncle Allan's udstilling Faces of Black Metal hos galleri Lionheart... så det vil sige alle undtagen os og en masse Tyskere!

Vi starter kl. 23.00, da man jo af gode grunde ikke kan have en Black Metal udstilling i dagslys, og fortsætter til vi eller i ikke gider mere.
Der vil blive serveret lidt øl, vand, og spillet en masse Norsk hygge musik.
Alle malerier og fotos er indrammede og til salg, og der vil derudover være lidt limited merch til salg, lavet specielt til lejligheden.

Vi håber at se en masse hernede!

Ps. Dette er ikke et tatoverings event, så der er ikke nogle chancer for at gå hjem med en lille Black Metal souvenir i denne omgang, men vi vil prøve at holde endnu en walk-in dag snart.

Dearest clients and friends and other artsy folks!

This Saturday, the 18th of August, we're having a little art show at the shop.
We figured that apart from ourselves, and a bunch of lucky Germans, not many people had a chance to see Uncle Allan's Faces of Black Metal show at the Lionheart Gallery in March, so we're showing them at the shop, for one night only.

We'll be opening at 11 pm, cause you can't have a Black Metal art show in broad daylight, and we'll close whenever we feel like it.
We'll be serving some refreshing beverages and playing some soothing Norwegian tunes.

All paintings are framed and for sale, and we've made some special limited merch for the occasion as well.
Whatever doesn't sell will be for sale online, so if you're not able to show up in person, check back here next week for prices and info.


We hope to see you!


Ps. This is not a tattoo event, so if you were hoping to walk out of here with a little Black Metal souvenir, i'm afraid i have to disappoint. But we will try to do another walk-in day soon!

No big deal...

We're still kind of on vacation, but crazy guest and guest artist month has almost started.
Nick arrived yesterday and will be working at the shop starting tomorrow, and the Australians are arriving on Tuesday. Fun!
I'm almost at the point of looking forward to being back to work, but only almost.
I do love the crap out of the shop, but there's nothing like a staycation!

So, that's all i wanted to say... oh, yeah, there were these portraits that Matthew Gordon did of yours truly and her husband. I know, no big deal, right? But i figured i'd post them here anyway.
This guy still has a few spots left for his upcoming guest spot.
Just sayin'...

By Matthew Gordon

Tattoos, just tattoos

No big announcements today, just a few pictures.

Nice, right?

Here's what Allan and David were up to yesterday, straight from the iPhone, so you know it's fresh.*

Allan finished Sasha's lower arm, there's even stuff on the other side too, but that picture was too blurry

And David did this not-cute-at-all (really, don't ever say it's cute!) dragon!

Ps. Vores gæste tatovører har stadig ledige tider i august, så skynd dig at booke tid hos en af dem. Eller alle tre!

Klik her for info og datoer!

*I swear, one of these days i'll steal a bunch of pictures from Allan's computer and you'll be like "whoa!"

Yes, you will.

Not even gonna promise anything this time...

I know i wrote "third and final part" in that last guest artist post, but i'm afraid i may have been lie-telling, although i wasn't aware of it at the time!

You see, our buddy David aka Dino Baby has found himself temporarily without a tattoo home, so he's gonna be crashing here for a while until he finds the perfect spot to open up his new studio.
So you'll probably be seeing more of this guy if you come by the shop!
If you should want to book with him, all the info can be found on his blog.

DK: Vores ven David aka Dino Baby er blevet midlertidigt "hjemløs" og vil kommer derfor til at arbejde her i butikken fra tid til anden indtil han finder de perfekte lokaler til sin nye butik.
Hvis du gerne vil tatoveres af ham, eller måske allerede er i gang med et projekt fra ham, kan du finde kontakt information på hans blog.

August guest artist info, third and final part

Ok, last one for now. It better be, cause i seriously doubt we have room for more people unless we start using the back rooms too!

As you know, we have Nick coming in August (and might i add a "yay!" to that), but what you don't know is that Nick is bringing more Hong Kong peeps with him.
Or rather, Nick's friend Ross is traveling around Europe and decided to come visit too!

So, Ross Turpin, from Hong Kong will be guesting at the shop from August 16th to 18th.

If you'd like to book an appointment with him, please send an email with your ideas for the tattoo, placement, budget and preferred date to get tattooed to conspiracyinctattoo@gmail.com, and i'll be happy to book you in.

Remember, as always, fun custom stuff only, and the deposit can be paid at the shop.

Scroll down to see some of Ross' work, and check out his instagram (@rossturpin) and his blog for more tattoos!

Ok, that's it for now. No excuses to not come by in August and get a sweet new tattoo from one of our guests!

August guest artist info, part deux

Ok, who's up for part two of the August Guest Trilogy?

No one in Copenhagen, that's for sure, cause they're all at Roskilde Festival watching Bruce Springsteen right now....*grrr*.... but to everyone else, here's some more guest artist info for you!

Wendy Pham, also from Melbourne, Australia will be guesting at the shop from August 13th to 15th, plus the 23rd and 24th as well.

I might wait with the next guest post until Monday... just to give people a chance to get home from Roskilde.

You think i'm kidding, but i'm not, i'm the only person left in Copenhagen right now!

August guest artist info, part one

Hey guys!

I know it's been a while since we've had guests at the shop, but that's about to change.

In August we have no less than three guest artists visiting, or four actually, if you count Nick as a guest!

Ok, so the first one up is Matthew Gordon from Melbourne, Australia.

He'll be with us from August 20th to 25th and if you'd like to book an appointment, send an email with your ideas for the tattoo, placement, budget and preferred date to get tattooed to matthewgordon@live.com.au

Remember, fun custom stuff only!

Next guest artist post is coming up tomorrow... how very exciting!

Originals!

Ok, as i mentioned in my last post, we decided to sell the original witch paintings from Saturdays flash day, since they're such a good little size, and we figured it'd be a nice opportunity for people to grab an Uncle Allan original (god knows there aren't too many of them around!)

So here are the ones we have left.
Size is approximately 10.5 cm x 14.7 cm.
If you're interested, send an email to conspiracyinctattoo@gmail.com and we'll take it from there!

Update: all of the paintings have been sold!
Thanks for the interest, we hope they'll look all pretty in their new homes!

Wicked witches

Boy, are we tired today, but yesterday was so much fun!
Sadly, i didn't take many (ahem, any) pictures during the day, but i do have tattoo pictures, at least.
But the shop looked pretty good too! Not Halloween good, but we had some serious candle action going on... and snacks. Lot's of snacks!
Allan kept busy all day on only breakfast and one short break between tattoos, cause he's a friggin machine, so he managed to do eight fantastic witch tattoos. It would have been seven if one of our regulars hadn't showed up sometime around 1 am when we were actually on our way home, but on walk-in day, there's always time for one more!

We got to meet some awesome folks and we even got some cool presents that i'll try to remember to photograph when we're back at the shop... pretty awesome stuff!
We wanna thank everyone who came out, to hang or get tattooed, we really appreciate it and hope you'll want to join us for the next walk-in day too! 

Here are, in no particular order, yesterdays tattoos... sorry if some are bloody or blurry, but there wasn't really time to let anyone bleed off!

Oh, and by the way, the original flash paintings Allan did for the event are for sale, and i'll post pictures here on the blog next week.
They're a cute little size at a reasonable price, and a pretty great opportunity to own an original Uncle A if you ask me.
But more on that later... tattoos!

Oh, and we missed you Chriss, you better make it up here soon!

Update for saturday, and not the best kind...

Guys, bad news, Chriss Dettmer has had to cancel and is not coming on Saturday after all.
We're super bummed, but he had no choice, and he's working on finding some dates where he can visit and make it up to you.

We are not cancelling Anti-Sankt Hans, but since it's only gonna be Uncle Allan tattooing, there will, for obvious reasons, not be time for as many tattoos as we'd hoped.
So, there's no guarantee that you can get tattooed if you show up, and we might have to prioritize anyone coming from farther away than the Copenhagen area, but we'll try our best to make time for as many tattoos as possible.

It's gonna be an open event, anyone is welcome to drop by and check out the shop and grab a beer or something, and hopefully the weather will be great so we can throw something on the barbeque later.

See you Saturday!

Ps. If there's time we'll post a flash preview on twitter (@conspiracyinctattoo) and instagram (@unclea), if not, it'll be a surprise!


dk: Triste nyheder, Chriss Dettmer er blevet nødt til at aflyse på lørdag.
Han arbejder på at finde et tidspunkt hvor han kan komme herop og arbejde, så det sker forhåbentligt snart.
Vi aflyser ikke, men dersom det kun er Uncle Allan der skal tatovere på lørdag, bliver der af åbenlyse grunde nok ikke tid til så mange tatoveringer som vi havde håbet på.
Vi vil selvfølgelig gøre vores bedste for at der bliver tid til alle, men der er altså ingen garanti for at man kan blive tatoveret hvis man dukker op, og vi bliver også nødt til at give lidt særbehandling hvis der er nogen der kommer langvejs fra.

Det er et åbent arrangement, så du er velkommen til bare at kigge forbi og hænge lidt ud. 
Vi håber på godt vejr så vi måske endda kan grille lidt.


Håber vi ses!

Ps. Vi lægger måske et flash preview på vores twitter (@conspiracyinctattoo) og instagram (@unclea) men hvis ikke vi når det, må det blive en overraskelse!

New t-shirts are here!

Oh, it is a big day at the shop today!
This morning, on our way to work, we took a little detour to pick up our brand new t-shirts.
I can't tell you how long it's been since we've had any... cause i seriously can't even remember!
But it's one of those things people ask for pretty regularly, so it will be an absolute pleasure to finally be able to say "why yes, of course we have t-shirts for sale!"

The t-shirts are Tultex fine jersey, a soft pre-shrunk cotton on a charcoal-like black.
They're not like American Apparel thin, but they have a nice worn feel to them.
We have no girlie fit, but as you can see in the pictures below, a small fits a small girl just fine.
As for men's fit, Allan is usually somewhere between a medium and a large, and medium fit him best, so if you're in between sizes, you might wanna order down one size.
Sizes are small, medium, large and a few xl.

They will be for sale at the shop, of course, but also right here on the blog, just visit the merch section and one can be yours! I will ship out once a week, probably Fridays or Saturdays.

Hope you like them as much as we do!!

 First glimpse at the printers

 

Me in a size small

Allan in a medium

And this is what it will look like if two people each buy one and wear it at the same time!

While you're here, don't forget to scroll down and read about our next walk-in day.

It's coming up soon and we hope to see a lot of you here!

June 23rd, an invitation

Ok, i just noticed that our secret (up until now) event is less than two weeks away, so now might be a good time to let y'all know what's going on!

In short, our not-so-secret event will be a walk-in day with cool flash from Uncle Allan and Chriss Dettmer, kind of like Halloween but without the costumes (unless you really wanna dress up, we won't stop you and we certainly don't judge!)

The theme (cause you gotta have a theme) is.... witches!
See, the 23rd of June in Denmark is Sankt Hans evening, and here in Denmark, without getting into a recent history lesson, that means lighting up a giant bonfire, that occasionally will have a model of a witch on it, and singing a bunch of midsummer songs.
And that's all very nice (and who doesn't like a bonfire?) but we've decided to celebrate witches in all their awesomeness instead of lighting them on fire!

So if you think you might like a witch, or occult, or witch related, or pagan tattoo (cause, who knows what they're gonna come up with?) by either Allan or Chriss or maybe both, please drop by the shop on the 23rd of June at 4 pm, or later, and join us for some midsummer fun!

The tattoos will be individually priced, and will not be custom or one-time-only.

If the weather is good (which of course it will be, right?) we'll have the door open until late at night, and refreshments of some kind will be served as long as we have them!
Usually there'll be a bonfire on the lake, so you'll have a chance to go down and see that too.

You know where to find us:

Conspiracy Inc.
Schleppegrellsgade 7
2200 København N
Denmark

Any questions? Leave me a comment.

If not, we'll see you on the 23rd!

I swear we're still alive...

Sorry for the blog silence in the last, what, month?
Wow, that's embarrassing...
Anyway, not much shop stuff to blog about when you're not actually anywhere near the shop, but we're back now.
Our trip to Japan was wonderful, and i hope those of you who are on instagram have been able to follow Allan's tattooing there (@unclea), cause he did some really fun pieces on this trip!
We also went to some really fun places (as always), helped Inkrat move to their new shop, took Japanese lessons, and just enjoyed the crap out of Tokyo, our forever favorite city in the world.

But we're back at work now, on a more or less regular basis.
A few things have changed around here, though, for one thing, Eckel does not work here anymore.
So please, if you have any questions for Eckel, about anything at all, send them to: grifzzfizz@gmail.com.
And as you've maybe already seen here on the blog, Nick, or Electric Pick and some like to call him, is coming to visit for a month in August, and we're pretty fucking excited about that. Hope you are too!
Ok, i think that's actually it for news, but i could be wrong, i swear my brain is still in Tokyo...

I found this beauty on one of my film rolls...

I'll be back soon with some info about our upcoming mystery event in June... exciting, huh?
Yep, it will be!
