subject: a question/ tatoo

dear sir

today I met this man, who came to fix my car.
when I saw his arm, tattoed , I did ask him the meaning of the word and he said: this is the name of his son, called: João Victor (something like John Victor in English)

Is he right? I don´t think so....

best regards

dulce



It is completely gibberish, not even correct with the gibberish font.

I did a really fun/funny small tattoo on my friend Steve this morning, but the photos were all out of focus and crap... Second appointment today was Lindsay's hot air balloons.  A few touch ups and healed photos and we can call it done.

Kurtis was the first Canadian to break the 8 minute mark in the 800 freestyle swim which was 7:58.63 back in 2003.  Pretty cool... I can't say I've ever come close to setting a world record in any sporting discipline, and most likely never will...

My friend Andrew was in town for the holiday season and wanted to book an appointment, so I tattooed this small memorial for one of his dogs today.

Hope everyone had a good Christmas yesterday.  According to my Instagram feed... I had a few drinks over the last few days... back to work tomorrow...

MANUEL "MASTER" SERVIN - GODOY MACHINES



Master... using the Godoy Machines - V3 Model

Manuel Isaias Aceves Servin - known officially as: xmasterx, was born in Guadalajara Jalisco, Mexico May 27, 1983. Since he was a kid, he'd always shown great aptitude in drawing... as an adolescent, this art went hand in hand with his playing in a hardcore band and being exposed to heavily tattooed people and the inspiration to learn technique and involve himself in the art.



Through friends, Master met Richi Michel, who at 11 years of tattooing had gained international recognition for his world class tattooing ability. Master bought his first machine right then and there and took a self taught approach for the following 6 months before having job offers and an official apprenticeship from Richi Michel.



In the Richi Tattoo studio he was exposed to the work of Javier Kuatom & Martin Zapo, whose influence helped to direct and to shape Master's career and ability. After 4 years, he operates Blackline Tattoo and travels to national and international conventions entering contests and winning.



REALISM... A TRUE UNDERSTANDING OF TECHNIQUE...





A REAL UNDERSTANDING OF COLOR, BALANCE AND COMPOSITION...





DYNAMIC LINE THICKNESS, COMBINED WITH SMOOTH EVEN GREYS...



COMBINED WITH CONTRASTING DARKS... MAKE FOR PERFECT TATTOOS.



We proudly sponsored Master for machines at The Guadalajara tattoo convention where he tied for first place for tattoo of the day. He followed up this win with a few more first places in Mexico City 2 months later! This is a track record that can't be beat...



GODOY MACHINES -SUPPORTING THE ARTS, SUPPORTING THE ARTISTS WHO EXCEL IN THE ARTS, SUPPORTING EDUCATION AND CONTINUING INNOVATION.

Who or what is "Park Noh Sik"?

JUAN IS NO LONGER AT THE SHOP... THIS IS THE LATEST.

Mexican / global tattooist Juan "Super" Arreguin is one of our crew, no matter where he is. He has left to open his own shop in Leon, Guanajuato Mexico. We're all proud of his achievents and contributions and are grateful for the time he spent with us.

He is recognized for his artistic and loyal contribution to the progression of the art wherever he may tattoo, and now, right here, with his own model machines by Godoy Machines. Pictured above are a pair of his "Fly" and "Super Fly" model machines.


The Juan Arreguin "Fly" Model. A pair of 6 layer high saturation coils. Unequaled in incremental sensitivity, no other round coil assembly can compare. The magnetic field generated by specific wire layers and gauges are sequentially integrated in this coil assembly to combine with distinct spring gauges and tensions plus armature bar mass and weight to produce the highest variety of incrementally sensitive variations in force. A true masterpiece.


The Juan Arreguin - "Super Fly" model. A steel frame with our patented square coil assembly. Our patented square electromagnetic coil assembly boosts magnetic field mils by invoking an exact combination of material and a specially designed coil core mass. Spring material, gauges and tension combined with frame specifications to dictate fluid movement, variable velocity and incrementally sensitive force There are several special NEW and innovative features on this machine, NOT found on any other machine in the industry which enable maximum sensitivity at lower voltage. From a light and sensitive feel to punchy and more forceful, all under 4V.


Juan's work is easily identifiable and un mistakable. All the elements of light, shade and contrast can be seen. As well as fine lines...


The SUPER FLY MACHINE is able to subtly blend and fade as well as solidly line and evenly color with just a slight turn of the potentiometer.


This is proof that good work does not just happen by chance or luck or just on the artist's ability. A well tuned professional machine, built by professionals that understand these techniques (because they apply them themselves on a daily basis, just like you do) , can make any artistic goals a stress free reality.
