And just a week before the Norway trip, me and my brother Benjamin Moss, had another unforgettable trip to Palermo Sicily and a tattoo convention held by another old time friend and amazing host Christian Boatta.
we came a day early so we can see the most amazing catacombs world wide, in my opinion, just so much amazing reference of mummies, too much for one day and definitely a truly inspiring place.

Then later that night we drove about an hour away to Aliester Crowley's Thelema Abbey which is still barely standing and where for 3 years he practiced much of his sex majick rituals.  Most of his art on the walls has been destroyed or stolen by now, but some is still there, and we did our own little ritual, mine for Infernum rise. we also had a great guide and a known Crowley expert Mr. Rodan, that explained it all to us in great details, old and new alike.

then I got to do some killer tattoos over the weekend, some continued work, some new...

and during all this time there we had so much great food which Sicily is knows for, and for good reasons, some were things that you will only find out there, such as the spleen and lung sandwich...

was another one of those very unique and special trips, with a great hosts and beautiful people that made it all even a greater experience.
definitely another new favorite spot out there on this globe- I can't wait to go back in the first chance I get ...

and for now, I'm back home, in my little corner of Hell, with the wife and the cat...letting it all sink in...another amazing time in my life, and glad I talked my brother Benjamin to join me on that venture....

till next time, hope to see you all in our Infernum!!!

....where to even start explaining this amazing experience I just had @BlekkMetal a very special once in a life time event....
it started by having Abbath and the Old Funeral guys on same flights from NYC to Bergen, and some nice talk with all.
then landed in Bergen on Thursday at noon and a couple of hours later was tattooing my brother The Real Vitorio from Italy and the one and only Hoest/Taake at Let's buzz tattoo where we guest on the days around the festival.
Friday and Saturday we were tattooing 12-9pm and right after got to see an incredible line up of true Norwegian black metal all dating back to early and mid 90's when The True Norwegian Black Metal was officially recognized - needless to say, the shows were all amazing and brought back so many memories for all those years that I've been listening to that kind of music.
everyone was so nice- NO ROCK STARS!!! just hanging out no matter who you are, all egos were left at home, including band members, producers, directors, photographers. tattoo artists, and artists in general.
got to meet so many good talented people, not just musicians, also mr. Beste was there, and many that supported the scene all the way back from the first producers that believed in them and got them in the recording studio, to the media people that put them in the media in a brighter supportive light, even the director of the legendary Necromentik was there sharing some insights.
on Sunday I won best of day for tattooing, and we had more traditional Norwegian food with a super performance of old Norse music and instruments at the after party in the garage bar.
on Monday I got to tattoo Frode Kilvik the talented bass player of Aeternus and Gaahl's Wyrd -what a great guy and true Maiden fan with more music stories then I can handle...haha and when we were done, went to dinner with a bunch of great tattoo artists that all share the passion for the music and mr. Gaahl and company.
I don't want to start tagging people here since I'm sure I will miss some names that deserve to be mentioned....the only ones I will tag is of courseJannicke Wiese-Hansen for a great thank you for pulling this amazing event together and everything all around...including my awesome new tattoo and a perfect souvenir for this specific event. and my brother Benjamin Moss which have been by my side for many years now and share just about any amazing event, trips, etc...around the world.

so thanks to everyone who made this happen, friends, clients, organizers, bands.....you all know who you are, for an epic trip and experience I will never forget!!!!

ALL HAILS!!!!! AVE SATANAS!!!!! and...CVLT!!!!!!

and my awesome new tattoo by Jannicke- thank you so much!!!

A special post for my brother Takami from Japan.
a great friend and tattoo artist that left us way too soon.
I'm glad for the times I got to spend with him and touring the globe together for a few years.
You will be missed my friend!!!
See you on the other side...R.I.P

it's been a bit since I last posted here.
first I finished this guy finally, and is for sale- "Just another friendly clown" -acrylics on saw blade 14" and already working on a new custom saw project.

also, almost finished this sleeve, just a few final touches left...the top part is a big cover up, and flames were there before, and we still want to do something with them in the future to make them look better and twick the colors.  we're also working on his other sleeve too, with a serious cover up as well- I'll post pictures once it's presentable.

 

other then that we are looking forward for Trine to finally join us for full time next week- check out her tattoos and art and set your appointment up now for some killer work.

we are very excited to have her with us full time and join forces and artistic vibe to serve you all better and offer more styles for your next tattoo- she specialize in black and grey tattoos and amazing lettering and dot work too- you can check out her art on our site www.infernumnyc.com   more new pictures will be updated soon too.

and also, last but but not least, on a personal note, we are getting a new addition to our crazy family- meet Faust!!!

can't wait to pick him up next week.

we'll keep you posted soon with more updates....See you in our HELL!!!

so I'm back home and cranking some killer projects.
here's just a couple of pictures- first of a piece from a sleeve in progress

and some in progress shots of the whole thing before the sitting we just had, which pretty much tied up all the clean skin

and another picture of the new progress on the blade- should be done fairly soon...

much more fun evil projects are in the making...I'll keep you posted from out corner of HELL>>>

last days

I know, I messed up the days...just been crazy here, and jetleg, etc.... so I'm sorry.
but here they are-

Day 4 of 5 was. back to color pieces- different mediums, such as color pastels, and oils

Day 5 of 5
and only appropriate so is pictures of some tattoo art- all those are freehand designs.
I am by definition and life am a tattoo artist- all the "other" arts I posted, are all a lot of fun, dedication, and constant learning process- however they are all done at the end of day as means to get my tattoo arts and skills better, and keep pushing the envelope.

See you in our HELL!!!...

day 3 of 5 day art challenge
today is a few sketches from my sketchbook.
I still pretty much sketch for fun and practice almost every day- best way to keep practice my skills, work on different ideas, styles, techniques, textures, etc...practice makes perfection!
and of course always helps to be able to freehand cool tattoos while on the road...

day 2 of the art challenge- 5 days, 3 pieces a day.
and today- it's black and grey- pencils sketches and charcoal.
