Japan and stuff

In Breaking News:

Ok so we have some new developments: Stu has decided he loves Adelaide (and us- hehe) so much he has decided to stay in Adelaide! YAY! He will be heading back to the UK in mid Feb and will back in Adelaide by 2nd week of April. We will have exact dates later. But if you do want to get in before he heads back to England for a bit, better get on it!

So as I said in the last post we have a bunch more guest artists coming in the next few months. Another person we can add to the list is our mate Ben O'Grady from Lighthouse Tattoo (Sydney). He will be with us from 12th to 16th of Feb. If you want to book in with our good buddy Benny, please email him direct at tattoosatori@gmail.com

Here is some of Benny's work:

And just to clarify, here is a list of artists (in order of when they will be at Progression) and details about their visit:

Last minute bookings: Just want to let people know that in most cases, we cannot take last minute bookings, ESPECIALLY this time of year! Our artists can be booked out from 3 weeks to couple months in advance (depending on the artist). We are getting a lot of emails from people wanting a tattoo and wanting it quick! Unfortunately we can't often work this way and people are finding that frustrating, so we apologise for that. But a good tattoo is worth the wait right? If our artists have a last minute cancellation, they may post on their instagram or facebook pages, so you can look out for last minute spots there.

How to make an appointment: The way to make an appointment with us, is to email us (please don't facebook) at progressiontattoo@hotmail.com and you will need to state:

What you want to get (koi fish, traditional snake- whatever it is). Please just describe as best you can. Send through pics if you have any (just be aware that we don't copy but it will give us an idea of what you want).
Where you want the tattoo (full sleeve or just a small wrist tattoo).
If you have a preference for an artist please state, if not we will put you with who we think is best suited to do your tattoo.
Please look at our artists portfolio's before asking a particular artist to do your work. If you want a tribal armband and you don't see anyone at our shop that does that kind of thing, then we probably don't have the right artist to do your work. The kind of work they post is what they do, if you don't see the kind of work that you want in there, then they probably can't do it for you.
An email such as "I want to book a tattoo for tomorrow, thanks" is not enough information for us. We don't want to waste your time or ours, so we need to know what you want before we can proceed with consultations etc.

Here is some work that the guys have been up to the past few weeks or so:

And finally a bunch of pics from our trip to Japan, we had an awesome time, as always! Can't believe it will be September before we will get back there again, that makes me sad :(
