A little on the painting,
The title of the story comes from the especially painful trick that the rabbit played. While the tanuki was carrying a heavy load of kindling on his back to make a campfire for the night, he was so burdened that he did not immediately notice when the rabbit set fire to the kindling. Soon, the crackling sound reached its ears and it asked the rabbit what the sound was. “It is Kachi-Kachi Yama” the rabbit replied. “We are not far from it, so it is no surprise that you can hear it!”. Eventually, the fire reached the tanuki’s back, burning it badly, but without killing it.
Next stop the Bakeneko!
Monday madness week 3! This week I’ve been pondering religion. Take it or leave it, the text is more for my amusement. Monday October 8th available from 12-18. (later with a message) Nothing over 2500sek. No bookings, no deposits. Raw fucking consumerism at its best. Only at Swahilibobs tattoo. Bondegatan 16. Stockholm. Sweden!
I painted a little devil, for a big party!
Swahili Bob’s Tattoo Fest.
Det var ju ett tag sedan vi bjöd på fest, och sedan dess har det hänt en hel del som är värt att fira. Studion har dessutom nyligen bytt ägare och ägs numera av Calm. Bara det i sig är värt en fest, så here we go!
Vi kommer på dagen tatuera flash till förmånliga priser och dessutom bjuda på dricka och kanske en sprucken korv. Klockan 15:00 kommer dessutom Calm hit och piercar. Reidar Assine spelar musik och håller låda.
Klockan 20 drar vi till Pussy A-Go-Go i The Liffeys källare i gamla stan och bränner hjärnceller.
På scen:
-Twopointeight
-Tysta Mari
-Red Doves
-Reidar Assine och KvarteretKom i tid för det är först till kvarn, inget förköp! Inträde 100 spänn, gratis om man har Swahili loggan tatuerad.
Every man has some reminiscences which he would not tell to everyone, but only to his friends. He has others which he would not reveal even to his friends, but only to himself, and that in secret. But finally there are still others which a man is even afraid to tell himself, and every decent man has a considerable number of such things stored away. That is, one can even say that the more decent he is, the greater the number of such things in his mind.

We can call it a commission for the fine folk at White Rabbit Tattoo, NYC.
What rapture! Ah, what misery!
Yet from this vision I can’t turn aside.
How strange that such a lovely neck
A single band of crimson must bedeck!
A knife’s edge scarcely seems less wide.
Emporer lucifer, master of all the rebellious spirits, i beeseech thee be favourable to me in the calling which i make upon thy great minister lucifuge rofocale.

Döden: Jag är Döden.
Antonius Block: Kommer du för att hämta mig?
Döden: Jag har redan länge gått vid din sida.
Antonius Block: Det vet jag.
Döden: Är du beredd?
Antonius Block: Min kropp är beredd, inte jag själv.
(Antonius Block: Who are you?
Death: I am Death.
Antonius Block: Have you come for me?
Death: I have long walked by your side.
Antonius Block: So I have noticed.
