THANK YOU COPENHAGEN!!!!

Client's view

Our shop has come a long way since we moved in here almost two years ago (... really? has it been that long??), but since we're not in the construction phase anymore, thank god, we don't often get around to taking pictures of our progress.

So i was really happy when Luba and Roman from Russia sent me pictures from their visit earlier this month. 

It's nice to see the shop from a visitors perspective, and can i just say, it looks pretty good.

Of course we always see what's missing, and notice all the little things we'd like to improve, but all in all, it's not too bad!

No more talk, see for yourself!

Are you one of the people who, unlike me, wasn't lucky enough to get tattooed by Nick on this trip?
Well, that's a sad story and we feel bad for you, cause he's all booked up and leaving soon*, but there is still a chance to own some sweet Electric Pick artwork for your wall. That's a small consolation, right?

Nick has two versions of the same print available to buy at the shop, right now and here's the deets:

"First set is of a limited run of 50
pretty sweet matte yet untextured super paper
size: A3 (11" 3/4 x 16" 1/2 for you non-metric folks)
Hand signed and numbered and as usual will never be printed again.

Second set is of a limited run of 10
also pretty sweet yet different matte/fancy smooth paper
size: A2 (16" 1/2 x 23" 1/2)
Also hand signed/numbered"

The big one, A2 is 500 dkr and the small one, A3 is 230 dk.
There are 20 left of the A3 and only 4 of the A2.
And did we mention they're hand signed and numbered?

Og så lige en hurtig gang på Dansk, fordi denne post jo trods alt mest henvender sig til folk i Kbh og omegn:
Nick er fuldt booket og har ikke tid til at tage flere kunder, men tilgengæld har han taget nogle fancy flotte prints med sig fra Hong Kong, som han sælger her i butikken.
Der er to størrelser at vælge imellem, det store print koster 500 kr og det lille 230 kr, og du kan komme forbi butikken indtil Lørdag hvis du vil købe et.

The prints!

I'm just gonna include my new tattoo for your viewing pleasure (in case you haven't seen it on any of the other blogs!), not only cause it's super awesome, but also since it's the first time Nick has gotten to tattoo one of his indian chicks!

Hello gorgeous!

*I can't say how soon, cause that would compromise my ability to stay in complete denial about him leaving us at all.

To all of our clients...

Merry Christmas, guys, we love you!!!

Not so winter-ish, but a wonderland no less

Prepare to be SPOOKED!

I was just about to give myself a hard time for not having had the time to take more pictures on Saturday, but now that i'm uploading the ones i did take, i'm almost glad i didn't!
I'm not gonna get too much into details about Halloween Walk-in Day, cause if you wanted to know, well, then you could have just dropped by, couldn't you?
But i will say that we me, Allan, Chriss and our guests had a wonderful day.
The shop looked awesome, pretty much everyone who came were dressed up in great costumes, we ate a ton of snacks, the mood was nice and relaxing, and everyone who wanted to get tattooed got tattooed.*
But if you missed it, don't worry; this will definitely not be our last Halloween event.

Welcome!

 Spooky shop detail

 This is what my hair actually looks like; i just wear a short wig to not make people all jealous and stuff

Uncle All... ehm, i mean King Diamond!

Chriss the Cow tattooing Björn (sorry, didn't get a picture of that one)

Part of our spooky pumpkin collection

Undead cheerleaders needs tattoos too

As do cockroaches and elephants (although they came a bit late, so they got theirs on Monday)

Wookie didn't think he was getting tattooed, so it's good that he brought an evil nurse for moral support

 King and Cowboy (i'm kinda bummed that i didn't get a picture of the stormtroopers... yes, there were stormtroopers!)

Christel's amazing pumpkin muffins

By Chriss on Martin

And a second one for Martin; Helle makes sure he isn't too exhausted from that first one

Eeeevil clementines

 A close-up of my last minute horns... not too bad, right?

Lucifer was dressed up too (but only for a little while and mostly so my parents, who aren't pictured cause they weren't in costume, could see him)

 Wednesday Addams and her sailor (lifted from Martin's instagram)

 The Creepy Conspiracy Crew (also lifted from Martin's instagram)

The tattoos Allan did on Saturday and Monday (click image for a bigger view)

Update: Allan had a picture of the troopers in their size 8 years old costumes!

Whoa, that turned out to be quite the giant post after all!
See you again for more spookiness next year, i hope!

*Except yours truly, but really, who's surprised?

Time and place

So, Allan just posted this on his blog, which means that i'm allowed to do the same, so feast your eyes on this flash sheet of pure, spooky awesomeness!

Want to get one of these out of this world pieces tattooed on you?
Come to the shop on Saturday the 29th!
We start at 1 pm and end around 9 or 10-ish.
All tattoos will have a fixed, very reasonable price, and if you want it even cheaper, all you have to do is dress up, as people in fancy costumes get 50% off!
There will be treats and beverages and spooky music, and we hope to see lots of you there!

 Get one of these tattooed by Uncle Allan, or wait and see what Chriss Dettmer has to offer... or get tattooed by them both!

Update, now with sneak peek

With only little over a week to go before Halloween Day at Conspiracy Inc, i figured it was time for a little sneak peek of the designs that will be available. Don't you?
Allan is painting his sheet as i write this, so it will be done soon... maybe even today?
He will post more previews on his instagram and twitter, so go stalk him there if you would like to see more.
As for Chriss Dettmer's sheet, you will just have to wait until the 29th to see that!

More details in the following days, like what time to show up and stuff, but i hope you already have your costume picked out, and you're ready to hang out and eat snacks and get tattooed... and be spooked, of course!!

Epic flash epicness

I'm probably gonna end up saying this again, but since the last flash day was for the London flash, which was fancy-semi-custom-not-to-be-reproduced-flash, it's worth mentioning more than once: the Halloween flash is just that; actual flash. That means there are no limits to how many times a piece can be done, so there will be no need to fight over that sweet Dracula, or whatever you have your heart set on. You can all get it!*

*In theory, but in reality, that would be super boring, so please don't all get the same thing!

Halloween guests, part one

Halloween update time! (Isn't this exciting?)
I just got confirmation from Mr. Chriss Dettmer that he will indeed be joining us for Halloween-Super-Spooky-Fun-Day on the 29th of October!
Chriss will draw up some scary flash you can choose from on the day, which no doubt will be awesome, so go ahead and get excited about that.

More updates coming soon, so check back often!

Ps. I'm getting a lot of mail these days about purchasing the metal and Halloween flash (no doubt they're mostly from people who stop reading our posts about halfway through, so this might not help at all!), so just to try and clear things up:
The London Flash has not been printed and is not for sale.
Same goes for the Halloween flash, which isn't even done yet.
This post on Allan's blog was about an opportunity for those who missed out in London, and anyone else for that matter, to come to Copenhagen and get one of the pieces from the flash set tattooed.
You can still come get the London flash tattooed on Saturday, so feel free to email me about a price quote or just to check if your favorite piece is still available. Walk-ins are welcome too, although those who are already booked in will be tattooed first.
Ok, rant over!

Halloween at Conspiracy Inc.

This is just gonna be kind of a quick announcement since we don't have all the details in place yet, but we do know enough to tell you all  not to make any other plans on Saturday the 29th of October, cause on that day, we're gonna have some Halloween fun!!

First of all, there'll be tattoos.

Allan will make some Halloween flash (and we're not talking custom-one-per-person-flash like with London, just the regular kind) and you can get tattooed all day.

And the fancier your costume, the cheaper your tattoo, but more on that later!

There'll be some special guest appearances by other tattooers, but i'll post more about them once we get it confirmed.

So for now: tattoos, costumes, pumpkin flavored stuff, spookyness and good times all day!

We hope you'll join us, so stay tuned for more info!

Ok, i får den også lige på Dansk, bare for god ordens skyld.
Lørdag den 29. Oktober holder vi Halloween dag i Conspiracy Inc.
Der vil blive lavet spooky Halloween tatoveringer fra egen flash (altså ikke custom, husk det) hele dagen, med særlig rabat til de flottest udklædte.
Der vil være gæste tatovører (håber jeg, vi skal lige have det bekræftet!) og græskar og (u)hygge og forhåbentligt er der en masse af vores kunder og venner der har lyst til at feste med os.
Så sæt kryds i kalenderen og hold øje med denne blog for nærmere detaljer!

Flash previews will be posted here and on Allan's blog once he gets started on it (which may be as soon as today), so check back soon and often!

Ps. There's still some time available for those who want to get in on the London leftover action on the 15th of October. Write me or just show up to see what's left. Prices are set like in London, so you can email me for a quote. See the flash here (note: mystical reaper and cross/candle where taken yesterday and three others are reserved).

Der er stadig lidt tid tilbage på vores London leftover dag den 15. October, så enten skriv eller bare kom forbi på dagen og se hvad der er tilbage. Priserne er faste, de samme som i London, så skriv hvis du vil høre prisen på et bestemt design. To designs røg i går og yderligere tre er reserveret.

Hail Satan... and birthday cake!

As promised in the last post: costume pictures (or a sort)!

For Allan's birthday last month Eckel got the great idea to surprise him with a black metal themed barbecue.
Allan and our friends had thrown me a surprise party, my first ever, a few days earlier, and because of that, it all of a sudden seemed kinda lame to just have a barbeque like he'd asked for.
So, he already knew of the barbeque part, but i (cleverly i must say) got him to stay home a little longer while we "decorated the shop", while in fact, as you can see, we where decorating our faces with some sick-ass corpse paint... and cow paint... and pentagrams... and skulls... and Peter Kriss...!?
Anyway, when he arrived we were barbequing in the street outside the shop, all dressed up, and yes, he was surprised!

Me, Anne, Corey and Thomas

Corey, Rasmus and Eckel

 

You'd think Eckel had previous experience with this, right? He claims no, but i'm not convinced...

 As soon as Allan arrived, we got him working on his face

 Done!

A few instagram pictures of Allan, me and a very un-metal birthday cake (what? I like them sugary and cheerful!)
The Wookie and the Eckel

Young and Rabu looking gloomy as hell

Hotdog... of DOOOM!

Mille was a cow... a very viscous one!

A present (i didn't get pictures of all of them, but they were all great)

 

Another one... bubbles!!

 

Happy birthday for life, yo!

Allan had a great birthday, and he enjoyed the corpse paint so much that he even kept it on for the bike ride home (ok, i did too... it's super fun!)

I don't think we've even used the Dancook 7200 since this wonderful night, but in our defense, we've been out of town on the sunny days, and the rest of the time, the weather has been shit.

Like it is today.

Come back, summer... please?
