The Wrench Ed interviewed by tattoo.tv..! |
...yesirree....
whilst recently visiting our holy grail of tattoo studios....
the one and only Lifetime Tattoo in Derby... we were lucky
enough to run into the folks from tattoo.tv .... who interviewed
the Wrench Ed on all things Wrench related.... |
 |
...up for discussion were - what type of
things the magazine covers...who we feature...how the link between
our features and tattoos is very close...for example...our good
friend, artist Mitch O'Connell is an absolute master at tattoo
flash with hundreds of his designs gracing skin all over the
world...so the link between our features and tattoos is always
close...
...tattoo.tv premieres at the Brighton Tattoo Convention, held
on 31st January and 1st February 2009...The Wrench-ers will
also be there in force over the weekend....soaking up the sights
and sounds...and hell!...quite possibly succumbing to some more
ink too.!...
... so definitely keep checking back on the tattoo.tv website...once
live, it will prove to be a very valuable and interesting source
of absolutely all things TATTOO...
