hello again.

Its the end of the year, and i realise i haven't posted anything for a few months. Mainly because my laptop with all my passwords was in the apple store getting fixed, and now i have it back. So in the new year, (and i mean in a few days) ill be updating my page with lots of fun facts and art work for your enjoyment. You will find most of the stuff i put up on my Instagram and Facebook. So sorry for the wait everyone. I have lots to discuss, and as a added bonus i might put up some music for you too. Hope you all had a sterling christmas. Congratulations on being 21/12/12 survivors. And have a happy new year.

Painting

So I've been trying to learn to paint again, I'm nowhere near my goal as yet but I'm just painting stuff now just to learn how to get there, kinda like studying a map before making your actual trip, a few people ask me, why do you always draw crying girls and death and stuff, well, I don't know we all take a muse from somewhere, I found that when I was going through a tough time a while ago, I felt more inspired, I do like a lot of nice things, sleep, pugs, shar pei's, roast chicken and stuffing sandwiches, etc...etc. but for me I like the visual of darkness, the mood, the emotion, and that's where I find my own muse, I guess I'm just a goth at heart.

Peace.

Forever True, Liverpool.

You know there are certain moments in your career where you feel a lot of hard work has paid off, well that happened this past Thursday and Friday when I got to spend a great time at forever true in Liverpool, the shop was beautiful the customers were friendly the city was lovely, it may of been a touch warm but it was fine! Got to do a few cool pieces and I wanna thank my customers for making the trip to see me! Thank you to Paul for making my life easier and for being a star, and for the big man! Mr Richie Clarke PDC a massive thank you for letting come and invade your premises for 2 days for introducing me to tapas and for generally being rad! So wise and funny and so so angry haha! Thanks for believing in me and giving me the opportunity I wont forget it man! So anyway I'll ease off there before I get to emotional, but do make the trip to Liverpool and see the guys at forever true and get some great tattoos or how the kids say sweet ink bro! Haha

Hope and glory bound!

Right I can't say it enough! Hope and glory with artists Ollie, Tem , Jordan and Chris are just the nicest people! So its cool I got to hang out again and do some cool tattoos too! We also had some killer Chinese food too! So once again much love and thank you! See you all again soon!

Ghost house

Hey so I've been slack, it's true it's true. Been neglecting my blog account. I've just had a lot of stuff that I'm dealing with currently but there is an end in sight! I'm looking at houses this week and I am super psyched about moving and getting a fresh start! Ghost house will be my main and only place I'm working in the uk other than conventions or guest spots. So if you want a tattoo by me or anybody else there really, feel free to come to derby and see the G/H family and I'm sure you'll have a great time. So here's a couple tattoos I did whist there!

Its been awhile.

hey there everyone, my gosh its been a long time since i did a update. Sorry about that. Ive been all over the place. So in the last month a LOT of stuff has happened both good and bad. So here's a little run down of the news thats relativly important.

I will also be at GHOST HOUSE this month from the 23rd. Which in turn brings me to my next bit of news. I have been graciously offered a position with the G/H team and after so careful thinking, have decided to accept and join. So myself and my fiancé are now currently looking for houses to move. I'd really just like to take this opportunity now to really thank the Ghost House team. They have really shown keen interest in art and have shown that they are decent hardworking caring people, and i can see it by the way they work together. I am very fortunate to have this opportunity come along and i'll try my absolute to not let the team down and be as best i can. If you haven't heard of the shop yet , your head must be in the ground so with that in mind here are some links.

Right well thats all the biggest news for the last month sorry once again its taken me awhile to catch up, hopefully ill make some more steady updates.

hope and glory

I've just returned from a really nice visit to hope and glory in Bury St.Edmonds. Seriously one of the nice places to work, i always have a really great time hanging out with Ollie and Tem, and this time i went with my friend will, he's a great guy to travel with , seriously to funny. We stayed at the newly acquired home of Sarah, Jordan and George, and had a blast, good night of pizza ,family guy and a bug club board meeting hosted by the one and only Chris Newport from Instagram haha! Thanks for letting us stay. will put himself through hell having 2 tattoos and a laser session on his knuckles, and i walked away with a cool rhino beetle and sythe courtesy of CN. 

I got to do a cool snake lady with a hand mirror with a gentleman in it on sean mason while i was there he sat like a champ but sometime it hurts to bad, its ok we got a good 4 hours done, we need to do a lot more lining, hair and leaves, but we are leaving that until next time, was great hanging out sean and thanks a lot. Sean is in a cool death core band called annotations of  an autopsy do check them out. Here's a link to there latest video

Sketchbook update

Almost 30 pages done, like I said this is going to take a while but hopefully it something that'll last.

Ghost House Collective.

Well I have been graciously invited to spend a week at the home of the ghost house crew, so I'll be there from the 19th of June till 23rd. This might turn into something a bit more permanent for me, I need to find a home base and to be honest I'm tired of working alone, this will be the first time that I get to work as part of a team, I've been through a lot of shit, been talked about had rumours spread about, and never felt the confidence to stand up for myself which is quite ironic compared to the character I'm supposed to be rumoured to be right?! So we'll see how this goes so really I'm just asking for a chance to shine so book in email me at drewromero@live.co.uk if you want to book in and get something nice and maybe help me start a new phase in my life the way it's supposed to be, the way we all want out own lives to be, happy and successful.

Oh and don't forget to follow me on instagram - drewromerotattoo. Thankyou

Holland

I'm back in the UK again after once again a great time in my home away from home.

A big thank you again to my boy Hans from Stay classy as well as all the Stay Classy family in Rotterdam. I will be making regular trips to holland as it is one of my favourite places in the world and if you have not been, without sounding like a travel agent. Go! In other news i'm still working on my new sketchbook I'm up to 14 pages so far, this is going to take a while, i have received a few inquires as to when the book will be available, as of right now, i really can't say, i don't want to rush this. Also the sketches are not for sale or will i tattoo them, they are specifically for this project.

Sketchbook update

Ok so i'm up to 11 pages, I'm going to change genres in this book, they Will be my interpretation of the genres but they will be based on different subjects in tattooing. X
