TATTOO TUESDAYS: SAILOR JERRY FREAKSHOW SPECIAL AND GIVEAWAY
We are mixing things up a little for today’s installment of Tattoo Tuesdays. Our mates over at Sailor Jerry are putting together a really, really sick party at Mercury Live for Halloween this year, Freakshow. Sonja from Sailor Jerry was so stoked about it that she got a tattoo by Waldo from Cape Electric Tattoo. Michael Ellis filmed and edited it really nicely too.
With a lineup featuring The Great Apes, Dead Lucky, Machineri, Basson Loubser & the Violent Free Peace as well as a Peachy Keen DJ set, this party is really looking like one not to miss. There will also be a raffle with some great prizes up for grabs with Cape Electric Tattoo throwing in a R1000 voucher as well as a few bottles of the good stuff and gear from Sailor Jerry.
We’ve also got a double ticket giveaway to the Freakshow – all you have to do is drop a comment below and tell us who designed the cover for Machineri’s new album.
