Inspiration

 ~ Back Home ~

Had such a lovely holiday in Thailand!

I love the food, people and atmosphere, 

there is so much varaity in the country, going from 

  the peace and freedom feelings of the islands, 

to the crazyness of Bangkok...

Everything is different when you're on the other side of the world, 

colours, smells, tastes, ...

and I guess for me Asia is a great influence on my work and 

 Thailand still one of my top inspirational places on earth.

Don't get me wrong, I am NOT for boxcolouring, 

but these are so damn cute, that i just had to share it with you...

In my last blog I was planning my new Tattoo

and here it is, my colour wheel...

       ❤ it 

                          

I made a small film to show the Bamboo Tattoo way,

and just because it's fun :-)

So first days back at work @ Bed Head Antwerp...

Some of my regular clients came by this week for a new special colour treatment, 

I am so lucky to have clients like these, so I can let my creativety on the loose....

Color Wheel Tattoo

Sawadee kaa...
 I'm on holiday in Thailand and believe it or not...
I find my mind still wanders off to colouring....

At this point we are on an island in the south, it's  low season due to the monsoon, so we are almost alone on this magical place ...

Our next stop will be the Phi Phi Islands in a few days.
I haven't been there for over two years  because it's getting a very popular destination, wich makes it a crowded island with just one to many party and bucket scènes 

(buckets are filled with cheap alcohol)

 I myself prefer a nice balanced cocktail and some background reggae music on a pretty beach...
But what exites me most about phi phi is that there are some amazingly talentented tattoo artists there whom tattoo by hand with Bamboo!
I have my full right arm done by Bamboo... 

And I must say that with me the colors stay more vibrant dan those done by machine... (Maybe it's different from skin to skintype? Dunno...)

This time I want my color wheel design done!!!
Here is An examples of a color wheel is:

The middle has the 3 primary colours 

red - blue - yellow

From these we create the secondairy 3 colours 

purple - green and orange

And so we create the tertiary colours....

For us colorist, this is how we make your haircolour, and neutralise any colour you don't want to have....

So if you ever go to a hairdresser and want to get rid of your red hair, they need to add green to the colour... That sounds scary to you?

Thats why my job is so fascinating.

As you know my hair is currently white and to maintain it in perfect condition I brought my S-factor True Lasting Colour Oil along....

This product will keep my colour in the sun and sea and is perfect as styling or finish... It is a 100ml package, so no problem to have it in your handluggage at any boarder or flight... 

I keep it close to me :-) 

Phi Phi Island, here we come.... ❤
