Brighton Tattoo Convention 2009

It is with great pleasure for us here at Skunx Tattoo to wish Joe Swash (of East Enders fame) all the best for his recent win of the reality TV series, “I’m a Celebrity, get me out of here“. The final came down between Joe and womans tennis legend, Martina Navratilova but after the viewers had cast their votes, Joe was crowned “King of the Jungle”.

Joe Swash was inked at Skunx Tattoo a few months back. As for the nature of his tattoo, it is not for us to share the design with you, if you’d like to know what Joe got for his tattoo, please ask him.

Pictured below is Joe after Nick had finished his tattoo.

This past weekend saw Rancid guitarist/vocalist, Lars Frederiksen drop by the shop for a visit.

Before heading back home, Rancid drummer, Branden Steineckert, stopped into the shop to get some ink from Steve.
