Henry Hate's mood of the day!
2012-02-04 09:18:00
I love asses wigiggling and a tit's a jiggling. I love The Time. Put those two together and you get one of the greatest moments in celluloid history. Morris Day was robbed an Oscar for this role in Purple Jizz Stain Rain. BUt like all greats they seek perfection and I do as well. Jerome, I think I am gonn need a drink. Watch the video here.

Ink Whore!
2012-01-19 21:22:00
Copy Of Teen Angels Old issues are highly collectable and still have many of them that my dad gave me.Slurs are dirty words and sometimes they tend to be embraced by the very people that they are supposed to target. I used the phrase of a ink whore to encompass many definitions across the board. I would use it to describe my ex-boyfriend Adam's boner for getting tattoo, which would lead to me being cut off from sex for at least a few hours. I would use it to describe girls witht he standard center split pin curls and the ever present red rose whom act like tattoo artists are just like designers, regardless if they were well known or not. The dude that just wants his full body done in a hurry. Or the Groupie whom fucks tattoo artists to get free work. I've met them all and I love the word.So my new t-shirt design is being made as we speak and the cool dudes at Photo Fit whom do a few of my friends stuff do quality work. Long lasting durable and virtually have done all my stuff...

Every now and then I get asked to get involved with a group prokect and If it is up my alley I will jump at the chance.

Brighton Tattoo Convention
2012-01-10 03:18:00
At the moment I have been really busy with all sorts of stuff and I tend to cram all sorts of shit I need to do all at once. And I forgot to mention that I will be that Brighton Tattoo Convention this year. I have just two spaces available and if you would like to get some work from me by all means simply call the shop and I can arrange something for you. Or just swing by the booth and say hello. I am looking forward to it. See ya in church.H

Climbing Mount Everett
2012-01-10 02:59:00
Every so often I do tattoos that I truly want to do free of charge just to break up my game face and throw a spanner into my work schedule that will be a investment in the long run. So my Muse for this project was none other that Gentle Giant and truly nice guy Harley Everett. That dude makes me feel like a munchkin hit by a shrinking ray, as he is so tall. Well I act tall. A client had put him in contact with me and told him my plan and rather than stick any old thing on him he gave me brief. I went to the drawing table and tried to come up with a design that both he and I would love.I am sure some of you have seen Harley in action and seen some of his films. He's developed a name for himself in the field of adult films, and most people get adult entertainers and performers all wrong. He is well spoken and a bit on the shy side, which is a relief. I was really taken aback by how free and honest he was in sharing his upbringing with me a testament to his true nature and charac...

Songs Of the Moment
2012-01-10 02:52:00
I have been listen to some music that I was never a real fan of first time around as Talking heads, Ok David Byrne used to annoy the shit out of me with all that Burning down the house crap. So I wrote them off. iIt wasnt till I watched a Midnight showing of Stop Making Sense that I got their sound. The Album Remain In Light that got me truly to the beauty of their music and the syncopation and composition. So I suggest you get to trying them on for size.Enjoy.I listen to Spotify alot and I also pay for it's service as I think it's alot better than my Imatch. You can find my henry hate tag or my facebook id. But Girls On Top are a London garage band that are catchy, trashy and capture the essential sound of so many bands that I love. They also are very good at taking the piss out of themselves. They reminded me of a group we used to play with in early 2000 called The Dirty Byyrds While we were just Dirty Switches. It's defiantely one to place n your ipod or what ever. Cr...

Tripping On Through
2011-12-11 06:57:00
I have been keeping busy and it's been full on and with certain changes in the wake of the last several months I have steadily kept forward motion and wrapping up this year. I made my way to see some old friends and reconnect and showed my partner my hometown of Los Angeles and got to drive him around, which was kool and my favorite part of my trip cause I got to show him things and tell him the stories I knew about old Hollywood and the folklore.The damaged an the beauty's faded on the sheen of Hollywood but I think thats part of it's mystique. She's like Ms. Havisham a bride in her dated wedding dress that was once beautiful but just a dusty shell. I made it to Australia and saw my friends wedding and got to see some olf friends and felt really fortunate that I got to hang with them and carry on from where we started. I even made some new friends and the memory has been a great cap to end the year.In the past year I went to Paris, Los Angeles twice and Melbourne Australia....

The perfect Halloween Costume for tattooed People!
2011-10-21 11:49:00
If you ever wanted to see what Rick Genest aka Zombie Boy aka Tranny Caca's only real street cred, you should check out his video. When I worked as a makeup artist The stuff was like spackle for builders and worked amazingly well. Drag queens swear by it. I am not trying to hock the product, but I thought the video was pretty cool. I do not care for the music though. I am starting to believe that our very own rob here has created something of his own 'Blue Steel' look. Enjoy.

Touching Base
2011-10-17 17:05:00
Alot has gone on in the last couple of weeks and haveen been busy with all sorts of things. First I have been keeping my nose to the grind stone. and decided to seperate myslef forom a certain individual who is a rather half empty moaning Myrtle and emotional vortex. In truth I am very happy they are gone. A tattoo artist quit without giving a proper reason for them leaving other than they are not happy. Ok. Bye. Concerts and plays and trying to catch up on sleep and Bren's birthday was last week and had a rather successful soire. So it's not as if I have been ignoring anything I have been just keeping busy. At the moment Bren is also tending to our cat whom was hit by a car. So there are many plates to spin.I am gearing up for a trip to Melbourne Australia to visit some friends and go to a wedding which hopefuly should be fun and then starts the holiday season. As this year has been a busy and very hard one, I am glad I have gone through it. Thrusday we went to see M...

To A Certian Someone, With Love Of Course.
2011-09-10 16:30:00
This week has been tough as we as a group are left to clean up a mess that a certain individual left in his wake. Rather than just be hinest with me they decided to concoct a bullshit story yet booking appointments in advance when they knew they were going to go. So to the dishonest, no ball having son of a PUTANA. I would say that if you had a dick this is where you would have tell me to suck it, But like I said If! So I will leave by saying this:

EAT ME!
2011-08-05 15:14:00
I will be the first to admit that I make my own rules and I am no day at the beach. I have been called many things from asshole. slave drver, Prick, whore., Meanie, Satan.. Mr Hat, Hank- to which I hat. Sadistic Mother fucker and they have all been said in the theat of deep anger all aimed at me. Sometimes deservedly so when I was younger, drunk, high, or stupid and slutty and at other times I have been all of the above at once. Yet I like to sit back and observe. I watch and take it all in. There are times when I make a comment on a subject that becomes un-nerving. Especially from people who do nothing more than have a superior ideal sense of self and it's them vs. the rest of they world. at large. I came across a little guys blog about some biullshit that is no sweat off my nuts, But I am going to set the fucking RECORD STRAIGHT.Short whiney moaning Myrtle that is the the moniker of one supposed Drubskin or as I like to call him Ms. Tanner has a yeast infection about me...

Does Goes Gay Music Suck?
2011-08-01 00:23:00
I will admit that Elton John, Freddie Mercury and even Michael Stipe have made some shear genius tunes. Yet While I was in L.A. I came across some music that was a pain and a fucking chore to listen to. I don't get the whole dumbed down prissy Glamour of the Madame Lamberts or even the Disco Sheen of Cazwell or Colton Ford. If I were a tween tranny with a perpetual boner and a drug habit I might like it. At lest I could say the drugs make the shit sound better. Yet Even Euro pop of Azis and Kazaky are hard to swallow casue it just see,s like shiny drivel in Auto-Tune.To Me Azis is just a chubbier version of Adam Lambert who's been at it longe and supposedly with a bigger dick. As Cazwell has been deemed by the gay press as their answer to Eminem, I was left with one question when I actually saw him live. Are you fucking kidding me with this bullshit. It sounded like a nursery rhyme for guys with hardon's and wanting to crunk. Yeah fucking right. Take away the lyrics and...

To Square To Be HIP!
2011-07-30 14:37:00
London has many membership bars all vying for the creme de la creme of the London Social Scene. I have been in several and my partner always thinks they are just a loads of bollocks as he says and never undersands the pretension of people paying money to be accepted. He has a point. Membership bars are not that hard to get into if you know the right people and the always seem to be the friends of friends that make the place cooler or dare i say it Hip. Bren told me i was an idiot if I paid for a membership to on of the bars which I seriously considered and had my name put forward by a friend. The places always seek the "creative types" but the seem to atract the pesky bullshit monkey suit with a bank account bigger than his dick. To me most of them are not "creatives and or artists" They're sales people who claim marketing is an art form not a pitch.I've been to both Shoreditch House once when Amy was dj'ing had breakfast there with a client and watched a few celebrities g...

For Amy.
2011-07-25 01:59:00
I have a hole in my life and in my heart. Five O' clock I got the call. I didn't believe it. Not her, not what i wanted to hear on what was supposed to be a great night out. For eight years a girl I personally knew came in and out of my life with a smile and a presence that I truly enjoyed. I met Amy just after the tail end of her first album of Frank. Which I was a fan of and she walked into my studio. Ripping pages out of a book making a pile and placing them on my desk. My very first words to her were, "Bitch, I know you are not fucking up my book have you lost your mind?" She had the exact same book I owned and she wanted a tattoo right then and there and I was closing in 20 minutes. I said yes cause I loved the first album and was a fan, I then made a friend.I didn't know a volitle woman or a messy drunk, or even a tabloid celebrity. I got to know a very shy girl whom would come into my shop randomly just tp say hi, or ask to use the phone when she had no credit on...

Bee In My Bonnet
2011-07-10 07:07:00
Seeing that I just returned from my trip from LA and I got sun burned I am now officially a Londoner as my Mexican ass can no longer take the sun. The bean is burnt. Warpaint's Bee's has been a summary of my time in Los Angeles.At the moment this song has been on my ipod on heavy rotation for some reason and I really love this song. I was thankful I got to see the band when they were on tour here in February. But I thought this song is appropriate for certain reasons in relation to my journey home. The words were quite fitting too. Not to mention that I do love playing with bees. Triple letter score, Sweet! Your full moon taunts meYou put me, you put me on yourselfYou've been at yourselfYou woke me up last nightand my eyes lit up like lightslike a string of pearlsbut you still did what you wantedand all the time it took you to get your self straightall that time it took you to get your self straightall that time it took you to get yourself straightwas too lateso work harder f...

The Real Reason Olive Oil Was Made For.
2011-07-10 06:44:00
I am a huge fab of wrrestling, ever since I was a wee knibble piquito nino i loved wrestling. Yes, I am highly competitive and love a good ruck and did ok in learning grappling in the Army. Yet the art of turkisk oil wrestling is something to a whole new level that makes me more than stand up and pay attention. There's the guys, the oil, the nuclear wedgie in leather pants, and then there are the pants. Man, I got to get me a pair of those. I first came into contact with this sport when I was 17 from a photo essay and was taken by the men and the ritual that these communities take part it. Needless to say that I was hooked and loved it ever since. There is something to be said about contact sports and the affiliation, more than just the display of hot, oiled, beefy Turkish men. When watching the matches it does apear to be a game of wit rather than of brawn to find the weakest points for a take down. Poppa;s got a brand new bag. Enjoy the show. bustour#4 - gladyatörs from ...

Must You Suffer For Art?
2011-06-26 08:37:00
Tracey Emin's Those Who Suffer for Love.London is filled with Art Galleries some of the best in the world and I love that most are free. London encourages culture and believes that art should be viewed by most people to get them thinking and expose them to ideas through a visual. After all art galleries are the last vestige of salons where people talk about cultural ideas via works presented before them. I myself used to believe in the idea of the 'tortured artist' yet not so any more. I believe that utilising a visceral language to convey a idea or message does not take a rocket scientist, but to use it to great effect to get people thinking and stir up thoughts is a great thing. My professor in college said, "artists make the world a beautiful place. You are given a gift to make wonder." I do believe him be it in the creative forum covering books, music and crafted sculpture to art, and design.That being said some artists are more apt and skilful than others. Yet with a ...

A Tumbling Down
2011-06-22 18:29:00
The say you should never give into peer presure.. So if you ask me if I would jump off a cliff cause everyone else was doing it I would first ask myself how are they jumping off a cliff and what options of protective gear am I allowed. So hell yeah I would probably do it. Yetas I take time out from applying deep heat to my aching muscled and grab my roid donut and pillow (cause I'm old) Myself and the shop now have Tumblr's. I am always amazed that kids can crasp this and I have a trouble dealing with my electric juicer. The Shop Tumblr is all the little shinanigans that go in here and you can see what type of work that is going on here in progression. While my personal tumbler is a cheaper version of the blog. AND BASICALLY PEOPLE WERE TAKING MY ARTWORK AND POSTING IT ON THERE TUMBLR"S Wacky kids today.Come join me

Bitch has got NO Game.
2011-06-22 17:51:00
David who works here after me firiing his ass TWICE is back in the shop and showed me this little shit nugget. For my senses to be shocked, takes a hell of a lot and I will say I am fuckicng shocked and appaled. Here's whay. This bitch has the attitiude of a fucking PIMP. Yeah I said it nothing racist and certainly offensive yes. Cause he refers to the feild of tattooing a game. BNitch should be smacked like a 50 cent whore in church layte with the rent. To refer to your profession as a game and and you yourself are not actaully tattooed is nothing more than a cash cow. This bitch needs to step away from the bar-b-que pork and fucking recognize he will fool himself and others.I wont know someone who is just trying to get by with honest intentioms but when you buy someone elses business your essentially buying their problems as well. Would I ever sell my shop. NO! Cause the name and Prick belong to me. Yet the videos here aren't great but he approach to the whole "game is...

A Life In Pictures.
2011-06-16 00:15:00
Sometimes I take photos of random things and just let myself get absorbed in the images around me. I can't help it I am attracted to and look at weird and wonderful things. So I am always loose with a camera and snap away. Here are a few things I captured recently.I had a swatch of hair growing out the back of my head that I wore like a china man and eventually thought I looked like I had a Merkin (a pubic wig) growing out the back of my head and I cut it off.i thought this woman had Barney Rubbles feet from the Flintstone'sShoreditch is filled with whacky hipsters who think they look cool and look about 30 years to late on the trend, That's my opinion and it stays. Put it this way it sucked then and I am almost sure it will suck now. Maybe even more so you can spare me the finding their self expression speech blah blah blah.Pooch and Bren in Holland Park, she looks so proud.Mini Cherry'sMorrocan Dinner along the Thames.Life is a lot like chess Time to Make Momma Pretty!Mo...

Michael Clark Rocks Hard!
2011-06-15 23:26:00
I have been a fab of The Michael Clark Company for a few years and never thought I would enjoy the art form of modern dance. Mr Clark has chosen some serious tunes to work with. His previous work Come Gone Been utilising Bowie, Velvet Underground and Iggy Pop was music to my ears. Yet his latest preview of new work at the Tate Modern was something I could not miss. Front row centre I was there with the dance troupe gyrating to Bowie, Pulp and a moving and lovely piece provided by Funkadelic's 'Maggot Brain'. His troupe use all aspects of dance from ballet to simple mime stop motion. His basic approach is effective and once again the show stopper to Bowie's Jean Genie gets me every time. As this last show is a transitional piece I can not wait to see the finished work in its entirety.

Truly Faithfull!
2011-06-15 22:43:00
A few weeks back I treated Bren to a night to the Barbican Hall to see Marianne Faithfull, whom he loves. Since I have been with Brennie pants I have come to love her music and her life is just awe inspiring and she has a tale or two to tell. She's been a Model, a Muse and Homeless Wreck and out Courtney Loved Courtney. She has lived an extraordinary life and her voice is the proof. Her whiskey soaked voice that was once the sweet chirp of a song bird is now that of a woman who's lived hard and in liquor, drugs and love. She did an amazing rendition of Greg Dulli and Mark Lanegan's Gutter Twins All Misery/Flowers. Wayne Krammer of MC5 was at her side to play some of her best loved songs from Broken English which is her masterpiece.Although she did not play my favourite song "Why'd Ya Do It", she played "Working Class Hero"and "As Tears Go By" which Jagger and Keith wrote or as she put it "blah blah blah, yeah big deal". Her song she co wrote with Nick Cave 'There's A Gho...

Portrait
2011-06-06 18:32:00
Recently I was contacted by designer Simon Preen to do a portrait of his boyfriend as a birthday gift. i posted phase one on my twitter account and somebody forwarded him the image and we hit a snag as I tapped into my artistic temperment when explaining my position. In fairness I appologoze to him as he got the fucking horns and theThe whip and the fire breathing dragon. I was on a drawing streak and nearing burn out when he along with a certain custome's friend decided to play art critic to unfinished work that they themselves were even having. Yet the end result was soemthing that his boyfriend loved and that was what I was aiming for. I am happy to say that the artwork is now hanging in their hall proudly.I haven't drawn with a bic biro in ages since virtually a tennager as I was broke and thought I would give it ago. Your looking at Gouache. Biro and pencil on 11x15 450g watercolor paper. I may do more. and yep the cheque cleared. cha ching. If anyone is interested in...

Do's and Don't Mug Shot Hot or Not.
2011-06-06 16:04:00
I will admit I am addicted to mug shots! I fucking dig them. there is something about looking at someone elses failure to make you feel better when your feeling a little in the dumps. Who needs Oprah when you have things like Florida's Criminal Database to make you feel a whole lot better. It's like a hug on a computer screen. Sometimes I weill sit with my assistant and look at them and decide wether they are hot or not. Yeah it's kinda sad while we do the Snog, Marry Date Rape Or Avoid. But there are moments when i resort to acting like a 13 year old kid with a permanent boner. I have always joked with clients that id they were to tattoo the word Hot Mess someone somewhere would be all over that shit harder than Tom Crusie going down at a glory hole at a whte Party Weekend. The Do's and Don'ts of Mug shots. Ok I will say the sneer and the neck tattoos are pretty sexy.. Dunno bout the Emo Bieber sweep. Seing that his bail was at $750 i think his only crime here is be...

FUCK YEAH WHORE!
2011-06-06 15:50:00
Some of you may know that I love love love my horror films. Frighteningly so, well at least to my former shrink who does not want to be in the same room with me without his supervisor present. Yeah like I'm going to bust out a chainsaw and start slicing the bitch. Anyhoo, I have been working with the fine writer and great friend Jimbo James Anthony over at Fuck Yeah Horror where i give my two cents and then some on my movie collection and opinions on the genre so dealy loved by many. The site has gone through a reboot all while jimbo also doubles as a refferee to London'd Roller Derby. He's got alot on his plate and was impressed with the reboot and I am sure that there is plenty of ideas he's scoping out to give the site a grand push. Complete with pictures, previews and reviews from his stable staff writers including me, the site is still in ythe process of growing so make sure to check it out. as well as my review on Galaxy Of Terror and the notorius Maggot Rape Scene. ...

The photos here were taken by Max Colson who takes some pretty impressive photos and whas kind enough to spend the day with us here and here are the results. all photos are teken by him so please do not reposit these as I have asked for permision first. I would like to say thank you from me and the staff here at Prick to the 16 genorous people who helped up raise £810.00 monday the 9th. We are greatfull as arethe people of Japan whom were effected by this horrible tragedy.

Box Codax
2011-06-06 14:47:00
a while ago I was asked by the guys from Franz Ferdinand if I would help out Nick with his video shoot for his other band Box Codax.. My response was sure why the hell not. The single is I Wont Come Back and is available now. Although i forgot about this they came in to the studio the other day and gave me a heads up. So does this make me cool now? Not sure as I kinda dig the song where a mind reading cat controls a spazz of a dude as he walks around central London shaking a tail feather.

Colour Me Prick!
2011-06-06 14:07:00
above is a entry from a handsome lil devil hailing from Ireland by the name of Brendan McCann, this guy offered to sleep with me to win and I just might take him up on his offer.Great news people are still handing in their entries for the Prick Colour Contest and as promised I am uploading a few enrties. As this is a busy time of year here at Henry Hate Headquarters i thought it would be greatto hear your responses as to who should win so far. I haven't placed every one up yet but that would take all fucking day to do on top of the 960 gajillion other things I need to do. Beside scrutiny is so much more fun when your not under the microscope. So to get your creative juices flowing we have extended the contest to June 30th 2011 and will close at 7pm. Keep em coming.It's amazing looking at some of the work presented and the creative minds out there. Here we have a water colour on rag by some kid named David hailing all the way from Rome as in Italy.I like the colour scheme and...

Henry Hate's Current Playlist
2011-05-15 23:25:00
Sometimes I really wish I didn't have a fucking iPod, iPhone, iPad etc, etc. Fact. Reason is that sometimes I just use it like a god damn remote and just flick through my vast library of song that I have managed to put on my computer. At the moment only half of my actual music collection is on my computer. The rest is still waiting to be transferred to the digital grave yard that is Itunes. So I every so often play with my Spotify. And yes, I pay the £10 quid a month to use the service. As some of my friends dread its existence I and what they call an anomaly. So here is my Playlist of the Moment. Enjoy.In No Particular Order:The Redondo's- Gee Whiz. Doo Whop accapella group from California covering Carla Thomas originalPuscifer- Momma Sed.
