London Ink: Medusa

" In recognition of his late grand dad, Daniel is here today to have his very first tattoo. "

" I've been thinking about this idea, getting a boxing tattoo for a little bit of time now based around my grand dad. He was a light heavyweight boxer during the army. Yeah, he's a legend from that point of view. Yeah, yeah, yeah. [unk]. Attention, we're going to start looking up from magazines and books and I got completely confused because this is like that *** alike."

" Yeah."

" And so I just got completely confused of actually what I wanted."

" But that's helpful."

" Yeah, that's helpful, yeah."

" Dan was a classic kind of customer. He comes in. He had been thinking about it for the last 3 years, and you know, he had so many ideas he wanted in to such a little space."

" There are a number of different figures a lot alike with decent character, landscape, look for color, and look for detail."

" And I think it's important when you get people like that. It's just tough. Maybe talk to him a little bit. Find out why they want it, what's important, and then just scrap everything else. I love working on people like that because you can just do it and really get to do what you wanna do."

" Dan has taken his client's ideas to create a stunning boxing that he should design."

" Brilliant, yeah. It's superb."

" A bit worried because it was a big tattoo, and it was his first one, but he was great. He just sat there. I mean, he was just reading his newspaper while he was getting tattooed like nothing was going on. So either that guy is more calm or he doesn't have any feelings in his arm."

" Torture."

" Like it? Thank you."

" Danny's reaction."

" Wow! Perfect. That's something else."

" You like it, yeah?"

" Oh God, that's incredible."

" Nicely done."

" I'm a legend too, so..."

" I didn't think it would be this colorful either. I thought it would be like two or three colors he had to [unk] all blended in as a fang underneath. The cross is on top of the snake head, the teeth, the little mouth, the lips. Grad dad sitting like [unk]. Yeah, he'd love it. He'd love it. It's brilliant. I'm your slave, man. Cheers."

" It's a pleasure."
