With 3 CAPE TOWN ACTS, Live tatoo's and free give - aways on the night! Now joining forces with FLY ENTERPRISES, Tatoos by Damion, PROFEST 2012 and NB Entertainment, We bring you THE OFFICIAL PRE - PROFEST PARTY featuring none other than, NISKERONE! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NISKERONE ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hailing from the dusty streets of Mitchell’s Plain in the heart of the notorious Cape Flats, the ‘king of the underground Drum & Bass jungle’, NISKERONE’s energetic and innovative style of mixing has entertained crowds at festivals and on dance floors around the world. The man behind ‘It Came From The Jungle’, NISKERONE started this weekly residency at Fiction DJ Bar in May 2006 after identifying a need in Cape Town for a Drum & Bass night that catered to the lighter side of the genre. Aside from pleasing hundreds of revelers each week, it also secured him slots alongside industry leaders such as Pendulum, Busta Rhymes, The Bloody Beetroots, DJ Fresh (UK), Dieselboy, Sigma, Cutline, and many more. In 2010, NISKERONE took his energetic live sets to the crowds of Europe where he performed in Belgium, Holland, Germany and Sweden, as well as at Spain’s renowned 40 000 strong Monegros Desert Festival. In 2011 he was invited back to the Monegros Festival to share the stage and billing with David Guetta, Rusko, Boys Noize, Carl Cox, Steve Aoki, Dirtyphonics and many others. Locally, NISKERONE has received headline status at nearly every major festival including Rocking The Daisies, Earthdance, Synergy, Rezonance and RAMFest in 2010, and OppiKoppi, Earthdance, Synergy, Rezonance and RAMFest in 2011. NISKERONE in 2012: Besides tearing up dance floors in clubs across South Africa on a weekly basis and creating mayhem on festival stages, It Came From The Jungle will relaunch in April and return for the sixth year to its legendary weekly slot at Fiction in Cape Town. NISKERONE will also return to his monthly residency at Origin in Durban. He is also planning to take It Came From The Jungle across South Africa three times a year, with performances in Johannesburg, Port Elizabeth, Durban and Pretoria. It was a night to remember here are a couple photos from the epicness!!!!                                                            The man himself Lord Niskerone helped us out by laying down his mark on lucky Corne Classsen!!

The dreads that bounce to the rythm of the world!! 

Going over the signature with the needle

Jeffreys Bay Dec 2011

Here are a couple of photos from when i was in Jeffreys Bay over December,

I did this one on a super cool guy from Brazil, Mr. Marcel. Stoked to tattoo a hand. I dont get enough handjobs and I got to do dotwork which I also dont get enough of so double bonus!

super shitty photo but  its the best one i got,  taken directly after we did it

also got to do a very cool portrait for my bro Darius, thanks for making my life ass by giving me a terrible photo to go from but it came out awesome, I'm proud as fuck of it!!!!!

My good friend Mark(Owner/Tattooer at Souther Ink in Jeffreysbay)'s wife finally got her first tattoo and she took it like a trooper came out beautifully!! 

I could never do enough Bob marley portraits, always a hoot! Thanks to Adrian for letting me go big, its nice when a client listens to their artist

This photo was the day after the first sitting, FAT SMILE

this one was taken right after the second session, added dreads and bits and bobs

natty dread!

yo adrian, bob marley is in your armpit!

Roman Abrego

Feeling so inspired by this amazing tattoo artist that I found on Facebook yesterday! Damn, check out Roman Abrego's work here. In the meantime, feast your eyes on some of his AMAZING work!!!

Skull tattoo

Did this really cool skull on my friend Aaron. We started on it last year but because of Aaron being a weak ass pussy we didnt get it done till yesterday.

This is how far we got in the first session(s)

In progress...

Here are some pictures straight after it was done, its still all red and inflamed, will get a proper picture when its all healed.

Pitbull Cover up

Today's tattoo: a pitbull cover up. Super fun & it was pretty much the first time I used greys instead of watered down blacks. I'm pretty stoked with the results.

Stencil...

In progress...

And voila!

Satisfied customers are my speciality!

First post!

So,I've decided to start this blog because it's more personal and interactive than a website. In this space, I will be uploading pictures of tattoos and artwork that I've done, other awesome artists that I find and anything that blows my dreads back really because this is MY blog mother fuckerssssss! Haha, Thanks for stopping by! Join my site and tell all your friends!

This first post is a tattoo that I did yesterday out at the beautiful Wacky Woods for a friend who is lucky enough to actually LIVE there! (bastard!)

These are some of the designs i drew for the client

And here's some detail of the one she chose

And here are some pictures of the actual tattoo. Sorry I'm such a terrible photographer after 5 hours of tattooing! This was only the first session though, we still need to add some background and add a little p-zaz :P I'll get better pictures then
