Well well well didnt last week turned out to be quite the surprise, not only did we have our first birthday but we got a suprise visit from some of the countrys favorite sons...The "world famous" All Blacks!!!!. Were completely stoked that they chose our shop and to be fair were epic stoked that out of all the locations nationwide they settled at Otautahi Tattoo BOOYAA!!...and just to finish our week in style the All Blacks take out Italy on Saturdays chilly clash at Jade stadium, you bloody beauty. Ok moving right along our first birthday, a big thanks to everyone who came down to Lyme bar on Thursday night and helped us celebrate our first year in busines, it was a very merry night haha, its always awesome when our clients show support and take time out of their own lives to turn up for special milestone occassions like that, within saying that next time il ease back on the Vodka, 3 shots in a row is probably NOT the best night cap, shouldve really settled for a Hot chocolate...lets just say i woke up on Friday feeling like i had left my Brain down at Lyme and it was stuck between the couch and the seat, still havent found it haha. A big thanks to the Lads at Lyme for putting up with us H and Callum great bunch of guys so if your thirsty and want something a bit special they make the best cocktails in Christchurch bar none, go the long islands. Lastly the filmings started and last Friday we sat down and watched a reasonably unedited teaser on our shop, it feels strange seeing yourself on the screen and i felt like kind of a cockhead but you can be the judge haha, with a bitmore filming and editing we anticipate that it will be posted on here soon so you can watch weekly installments and see what goes on in Christchurchs coolest Tattoo shop "Otautahi Tattoo".
