Dublin Tattoo Convention 2015

So this year was the 13th Dublin Tattoo Convention. Another great event, with tattooists from all over the world, and great entertainment from Blood or Whiskey, Klingonz and loads more. I even dug out the studio (for the first time in 5 years!) but unfortunately people were very reluctant to come in to the booth for a shot so only got a few, but still got some shots of the great tattooists at work.

I really struggled lighting the group shot.

I was much more happy with the individual shots!

Blood or Whiskey

Blood or Whiskey are back in the studio after frontman Dugs recovery from illness. Apart from an EP in 2009 this will be their first album since 2006s "Cashed out on Culture" on Punkcore Records - who they had to fight a 3 year legal battle to get the masters of the album returned to them. Anyway thats all in the past for the boys, the future is looking and sounding great for them.

I joined them in the studio as they were laying some parts of the songs for the album. I only heard about 5 songs, but they sound great - faster, heavier but still that real mix of irish traditional and punk. I cant wait to hear the full tracks with all the additional instruments they've planned - tin whistle, accordion, organ, brass.....
