He didn't come to get tattooed, like you might expect of someone coming to a tattoo shop. Rather than that, he came by to ask Mehdi some questions. About his work, career and life.
That's because he is busy interviewing about 30 of the country's best tattoo artists. For a book he is writing. I can't tell you too much about it, for one, because I don't actually know much about it myself and of course because it's still an ultra hi-tech top-secret project, so don't tell anyone you got it from me.
Besides the interviews with Mehdi he also brought his mobile photo studio, so he could take some pictures of tattoos that Mehdi has done.
So we called some of our favorite clients, to see if we they could come by and get their picture taken.
And of course if we say favorite clients we couldn't forget our neighbourhood police man Dennis.
Bringing peace to the world!
First sitting for Danny, who is rather giddy about his new Maori inspired Kirituhi Tattoo. plenty of fill and pattern yet to do.
This is a rough design for Kurtis. through my learning of Maori tattoo culture and the practice of tattooing, the flow of these tattoo's generally form themselves but as a tattooist you must allow the tattoo to develop naturally.
Next week Willem will be back from his Beard-Rehab and there is a special guest coming to see Mehdi. It's all about an ultra hi-tech special top secret mega zef zap rave project thats going to happen. So stay tuned and don't forget to come and get a Bunker Tattoo Crew T-shirt before they are all sold out, and grab a couple of stickers on your way out so we can deface the city.

Legend has it, the Unicone was the first zombie-horse ever to die trough a brain freeze. Since then it has roamed the underworld in search of antifreeze.

Ironically, Mehdi finished up the Maneki Neko sleeve, on the 9 year anniversary of the shop. As you might remember the Maneki Neko brings good luck and good fortune to your place of business. This can only mean good things for the future of the shop.
Tony started coloring on this here old-school leg, last week aswell.
He wanted to keep it as feminine as possible, so he used more flowers and les hard background.
These pictures were so old, they were still printed on photo paper, you actually could not view them on a screen. Wierd huh?
Mehdi working on the interior.
The opening party. We'll be doing this over next year, on the 10 year anniversary.
Add nine years, a little bit of color, a lot of ups and downs some 2010 flavour and a whole lot of experience, and you'll find us where we are now. Still Breda, still St. Annastraat, still making Brabant beautiful.
