SATURDAY NIGHT
& SUNDAY MORNING
omewhere out in internetland this
week (not to be confused with Hin-
terland—the excellent Welsh crime
series that has nothing at all to do
with tattoos), I came upon a book by George
Burchett called Memoirs of a Tattooist.
George is a name a lot of you will know even
if you don’t recognise his work.
The first edition of it came out in 1958 to be
closely followed as a mass market paperback
(with a fantastic cover) published by Pan in
1960. There’s also a quote on the cover from
the Daily Mirror that runs like this: “It made
my skin creep—but I couldn’t put it down.”
I was drawn in by the cover more than any-
thing and I figured I might pick myself up a copy
to see what it was all about. It’s not currently
in print (and I’m more than pleased to see it’s
never been published digitally), so my only op-
tion was to dig around in some of my favourite
places both in the real and online world—and
that would be antiquarian book shops.
There are more than a few copies of it
around in various formats but if you can find
one for less than £150, you looked harder
than I did.
The book itself is not ‘The Thing’ under the
‘scope this month though. What warms me
the most is that this humble little book from
almost sixty years ago can still
be
a Thing.
It’s a book of some historical value–of that
there’s no doubt–but it raises the question of
exactly why it is.
It’s not an online
post that got liked a
few times (actually
it probably is some-
where), it’s something
that’s stood the test
of time and not been
lost. Not in such a
dissimilar way to
that in which a tat-
too exists, it’s here
forever and hasn’t
disappeared with the
rolling of a database
fuelled by a billion
S

WHAT DID YOU CREATE TODAY THAT

IT WAS CREATED IN YEARS TO COME?
other things submitted to said database that
rolled all over it a minute or two later.
There’s a lot of value in that for me.
It’s an odd thing to ask of the tattoo world—
“What did you create today that will last
forever?” By its very nature, of course it will
last forever (albeit in various states of grace),
so maybe the question should be “What did
you create today that people will still be talk-
ing about with as much excitement as the day
it was created in years to come?”
Tough question, huh? Star Wars falls into
that category. Everything Michelangelo ever
did falls into that category. A bunch of roses
that turned out a lot like a bumper crop of red
cabbages… not so much, but there’s definitely
plenty of ink out there that’s just as exciting
as it was on day one.
Maybe in the twenty-first century, doing a
Highlander is simply too much to ask for, but
I think we can all do a lot better than just a
few minutes, don’t you?

Mississippi is not a particularly
renowned place on the map when
it comes to tattoo shows but the
wonderful Matt Stebly is determined
to prove otherwise to the world:
20 TATTOO LONDON (I)
Open until May 8th 2016, the exhibition
‘Tattoo London’–at the Museum of
London–aims to show the vitality of

life of Londoners. This issue, we talk
to the inimitable Matt Lodder.

one of the most impressive books done
so far on the subject: ‘Ransho’. Here
we look at the sequel in the works.
36 ROBERT BORBAS
When it comes to working with single
colour ink–and that would of course
be our old friend, the black–there
are few in the world who can make it
sing and dance like Robert Borbas.
Sion Smith navigates the forests of
Hungary with a trusty old lamp.
64 THE COMPANY
Traveling to Asia is one thing, trying
to understand its intricacies is quite
another. Take Hong Kong, for example.
Where do you start? We recruited
Vince Yue, owner of The Company
Tattoo, to help show us the way.

70 MY BODY, MY PASSPORT
Continuing our look at tattooing
across the world, this month we dig a
little deeper into the lives of Borneo’s
pirates, head hunters, lumberjacks,
planters and tireless travellers. Here,
we meet the elders, whose armours
of patang or kelingai—tattoos in the
local language—represent roadmaps
as much as a spiritual protections..
90 MILAN
After celebrating its 20th anniversary
last year, the Milan Tattoo Convention
confirmed its vitality across the
weekend of 5-7th February and is
already thinking forward with some
exciting news for the 2017 edition.
