Shop Till You Drop



Ink Whore (Front) Cotton Heather Grey and Navy Eco Friendly Inks comes in White T w/black ink


I have been hell a fucking busy here at Henry Hate Headquarters. Tattooing here, drawing there, firing people here and making merch there. Yes, Henry pie hands. As I swore to myself that I would start working on building the brand and taking it to the next level of my scheme. Sometimes I think I really should sit myself down and ply myself with some sort of mood stablizer that will allow me to relax. Any hoo boo for me, yay for you right? As there is alot of offer now at the Henry Hate Online Shop.


First Stage of Amy Portrait that I put on my twitter account.


Think of it as the universe telling you not to buy just more crap but beautiful crap! The t-shirts ave been doing well and I have already sold a few tote bags and prints. are you tired of the sily rock band shirt that makes you look like everyone else? Does you Walk Of Shame bag make you look a little to slutty or in dire need of a new haul? Is your house or flat begging to be adorned with new works of art that would make great conversation pieces at any cocktail party?

Fear not Henry Hate Onlie is here to help remove any of those pesky weighty questions with a new addition to your hoarding ways,

Ink Whore!



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 since I came to London in 1998. I am particular about t-shirts as I wear them till my pits are eaten away. and I love them even more. T-shirts are the new calling card for most people and it also gives people a small view into the fathoms of a person, simply by the shirt they wear. Not to mention it is great and free promotion.

So I did a Chicana peering through a keyhole inked and the slur Whore. This was done on the slight verge of Prison Peña Art. This is based on the chicano style of my uncles and cousins who've spent shit loads of time locked up and the art i grew up looking at. As my uncle Gilbert is locked away on the three strikes your out scheme.
He was always sending my dad stuff he drew and then there were the Teen Angels, to which I still own. There is a front design and there is a back design too. Stay tuned for the finished item. Bags will be done as well and will be purchased through the shop and or the digital online store. Keep an eye out.


Above is are standard linen handkerchiefs with bic biro pens that are sold sometimes in craft gatherings. Prisoners would make crafts in order to get money on their books in order to buy personal items from the prison canteen.

Fashion Designers Loose There Damn Minds Part Deux :I love jew, Galliano!

With the end of London Fashion Week and the start of Paris Fashion Week, The fall of the crown jewel of the Parisian fashion scene's maestro John Galliano is a shame and a bit blown out of proportion. As I have tweeted my opinion that I myself don't think he is an actual racial bigot but just a sloppy drunk who's able bodied to turn his "evil queen" to level 12. The baby has peed in the fashion week goodie bag and bitch has been fired from the roost of a failing house he help restore in his tenure at Dior. Shame as I think he has a great eye for theatre and that Galliano takes everyone to another world where creature and creation are not of the exisitence. In short as Praticia Field said best, he is theatre. Sure bitch should really watch his mojito intake.

Yet i had no idea that there is a zero tolerance for any and all anti-semetic crimes be it verbal or otherwise in France. Paris is a beautiful place where they retreated to the Nazi regime to protect the beauty of the city. Where as London is a different story and was bombed the shit out of. Yet placing my opinion on the subject has frightened people to villify the man who is in my book really not considered a racist nor a anti-semite. No Galliano hates women with no hair, cheap shoes and tacky tailoring. In short Style and fashion to him are his kife force. If anyone has been to the Marias in trnedy Paris you will know they got tacky ass shoe shops and and purse shops coming out of it's wahzoo. Sill it is unfortunate that some are making judgements on small snippet of phone filmed photoage taken out of context, to condemn a man.


I have been to the Museum Of Tolerance and the Anna Frank House in Amsterdamn and both are equally moving and upsetting to bare witness to. I can never really imagine what it would be truly like to actually endure a visit to the camps when they were in operation at the time. Yet as fivolous as fashion society is I thnk it's really unfortunate that a drunken man who is just being a dumb ass should be comdemned so erroneously. Yes I don't agree that anybody should just start saying shit cause they do not like Jews nor make light of a situation such as the holocaust, yet the guy is simply not in a straight fram of mind and is obviously sloshed.

If jewsish women were so fucked off with him, they should return the clothes they purchased that he created. Like the droves of collected shoes in the holocaust, an ugly reminder to all. But no such thing has happened other than his dismissal. When southern Americans took offence to the Dixie Chicks comments on George W. Bush, all hell broke loose. Protest of them burning there Cd's and merchandise. Yet to return a luxury item is a different story. I don't rub salt in a Jews face when I see one driving a Mercedes Benz or BMW. Yet it happens. I still feel that people are to PC for there own good and are simply to afraid to think for themselves. My friend in japan told me he was taught that Hitler is only looked at as a villian because he lost the war. Which in a sense in this current world is true. had he took over i am sure shit would get really real.

Do I think Galliano should be fired? No. do I think he commited a act of stupidity? Yes. Still what his personal and private beliefs are are his own, and I really hand over heart don't feel that he is what he's made out to be other than a sloppy eveil queen. When the Huffington Post translated there version of the supposed indident, I didn't feel any really crime was made other than a verbal conflict between two tables, which is quite common. Paris if full of pretentious cunts. Yet when I made ny opinion a few women took to state that I was wrong and quoting bullshit like some dime store theologian. Whatever, I made my mind up on my own rather than quote some bulshit rhetoric that is not my own.

If you ask me John Galliano should pull an Eminem and find a Jew equivalent to Elton John. Funny thing is John Galliano looks jewish or at least his nose does. This goes ou to you Monsieur Galliano. Enjoy.

Four Of My Favorite Designers

Fashion week is upon us and nearly over and here are just a small sample of what I liked. As I get older I find it harder to like clothes from the high street or say camden and or portobello market, So I look at the trends and see what I can take and use for my own closet. So I bring you the fall winter lines summer 2011/2012 and Summer show by Rei Kawakubo Menswear is a trick market as men are hard buyers moreso than women. But I do love alot of the stuff here although you will never see me wearing the Commes Des Garcon skull skirt to work or anywhere else for that matter. I thik there is someting that makes people very nervous about fashion shows. Where I always take the clothing out of context of the show and see them seoerately and place them with things in my closet. Yet I would look plain silly walking up Shoreditch Hight street trying to emulate a Clondyke Prarrie Woodsmen or the skeletal dress and check print. However there is something very satisfying about wearing a garment that you love and that brings an extra element of confidence to you and your presence.


Yet I am not one that has to copy the image straight from the runway like some do. I prefer dressing my self in what I like and what my wallet can afford at the time. I do love those apron witcoats though... Hmm

DSquared2


Rick Ownes

The dude with the tattoos came into my shop to ask for a job... I don't hire him!

When Mugler


Nicola Formichetti left the streets of london to style and conceal Tranny Caca's tuck, and picked up the job of spearheading Theirry Mugler's Menswear Collection Artistic Director. The thing I liked is that he used Canadian tattoo enthusiast Rick Genest known to the world as "zombie boy" I am not a fan of tranny caca and her little dog and pony show mixed with those hideous get ups. But I did like the footage Nichola captured with Rick and the over all effect of the clothes. Being this is when London Fashion Week starts I will be at the Child Of A Jago/Vivienne Westwood show. So i knida thought this was fitting. As I actually like Ricks tattoos and the go with the collection. Good call nNchola.

Sorry as I couldn't bear to listen to tranny yodel so found a version of the film with Drowning pool wich I think works better.

The New Tattooed Dandy

I have tattooed a few fashion designers and although few have kicked me down duds to wear, yet I am not a huge of fashion perse as a coveted item. No I prefer style. I appreciate style because style trumps fashion but I de love a sharp dressed man! So I present three men whom have it down pat, They work in fashion and just so happen to have tattoos. The all share something in common. Beards, Tattoos, and Style. personifying true style that is to be acknowledged. They each have a sex appeal that is of a quiet magnitude that I think amplifies there style too. So "Hot" is the new black! So I say Ice Ice Baby!

First Up, my favorite Nick Wooster: of Needless Markup (whoops) Nieman Marcus Director Of Mens Fashion. Suave and sleeved.




Second, Reminds me of an ex whom now works at Barney's New York, Jewelry Designer Philip Crangi
Of the Philip Crangi Jewelry Line. Post Victorian Bead and an affinity for sparrows. Bring it!




And Finally but not least Head Of Fashion House Yves St. Laurent Designer Stefano Pilati





Speaking of beards it seems appropriate that I chose this for these guys I dedicate from the hot rocking ZZ TOP.. Crank this shit!

Loy And Ford




Recently I was came into contact with a old boyfriend of mine whom I had a brief fling, flung, flew relationship with. In the salad days we had dreams to do stuff but money and connections were just a minor obstacle next to the giant that was ambition. So now my crazy ex german ex Frank is a much coveted clothing designer for the celebrity set. I remember Frank and Stephan working on the ideas of a collection in the late nineties when I met them. Frank was loud brash and very funny and extremely german, with a a cool dog named Officer. II tattooed alot on Frank, much to his insistence and my wanting to get the shit down.

Loy And Ford are a supreme force to reckon with creating sometime one of a kind clothing that goes against the grain of mass prodiced cack. Modern, contemporary and ultimately cool. The clothing is structured to German tailoring of the highest order. I can see Frank in the designs, as I can see Stephepn whom is the more grounded and quieter of the duo. Yet I tip my hat of to the german dudes and fucking good on them. Check out there blog and say hello.

Doncaster Fashion Week!


Pyscho Cyber Animal Print Fusion In Glorious Technicolour




Metal RULES


It's been a busy few weeks running around town, running over small little girls (not my fault), Tattoo Convention and tattooing, and them my assistant taking a walk. Touche, and life goes on, but while I was up north in the lovely crown jewel that is Doncaster, I am always floored by the grace and style of the city the the place on parade. Living in a fashion capitol myself I am apprceciative of style above all. Let's face it tattoo convention style will always give People Of Wal-Mart a run for their money. The clothes are dreadfull although there are some lovely and beautiful people walking around. It is the ones that make my eyes itch, that keep me entertained. Here is a small sample. The biggest thing going this year was the drain pipe for guys with the obligatory black t-shirt and those hideous Ed Hardy BY Christian Audigaur crap shirts. Skin was on full dsplay, enjoy.
Doncaster Dandy

Doncaster Yorkshire Realness and a true english rose.

Horton Hears A Who Where What The Fuck!

Seriously I thought she fucking rocked this look! Hawt!


Emo Boys and CamelToes- I Hate these fucking Vegan Boring ass fuckers!

My former apprentice finds these type of dudes sexually enticing and gets all hot and bothered at this site(Seriously, NO Joke) excuse me while I wretch, Spam Juce!

Dork Ass Punks.




You might think I am weird by trying new novel things like being polite or even friendly to those I don't know. I swear on my left testicle I have tried in ernest to be a good human and a happy kind creature. Yet, there are times when I grab a marker and draw I line in my social sand. One of those is with the Mohawk or Mohican. Anyone wearing that shit past the age of 25 is just fucking sad. I mean most guys past that age still wearing one look like the beat off countless times during the day while still at home at their mothers house or neighbouring squat. Gay guys are the worst, cause if you look at them they look like the kinda guy who'd have a cardboard box used as a night stand. Three pump chump.


Girls past the age of 25 shouldn't wear fucking hair colour that a 6 year old girl think is pretty to paint their bedroom walls with. I am all for age appropriate looking people. Yet when I see these fools I can't help to bust out my phone and take photos of these people and place them on twitter usually with a witty quip or a bon mott. I know it sounds cruel but I simply can't help my self, its like crack. It;s a lot like seeing a fat goth out in black pleather decked in ruffles in the dead of summer. I swear it's a buzz kill and equivalent to fashion herpes. You're really not rebelling against anyone other than making my eyeballs itch, and if you want to be punk rock, there are better ways of being punk rock than looking like a 14 year old with a lost disposition.

All Kinda Wrong!


Every so often Ben gives me a heads up on people I should post on my twiiter, because let's face it there are some serious kinds a wrong walking up and down the streets of London. I mean jesus, will some one think if the children or please consider my very own retina's. So I was giving this little tidbit in my email from a admirer of my tweets. And I couldn't resist. I have to give people props for stepping out the house looking a damn fool when the rent was due last year. But me I just can't, but my jaw dropped when I saw this, Bring it bitches, bring it! I wondered if it was from a client whom works at Vice as responsible for their Do's & Don'ts. Someone should have been a true friend and told her to get her tuck on or at least pass the poor creature some gaffer tape.

Take 2

Having been to Japan and seeing these guys congregate in Yoyogi Park In Harajuku Tokyo was an amazing experience, Ah memories I have a direct fondness for Tokyo rockabillies, as they pay attention to detail and the chicks and guys always look smart and killer. They really pay attention to detail. I still have my favourite cowboy shirt I got from Cream Soda in Tokyo, back in the day and the shit still fits. Fuck me, I can't believe it's been 14 years since. I always love when I see when two subcultures merge to make a truly original piece of work. Makes for an awesome party. Should get my lazy ass back to Japan! So I remembered this song when thinking of my music vault and it's accompanying video. If you get a chance to check out Peter Bjorn & John, do pretty cool music.

Scott Campbell for Louis Vuitton




Scott Campbell is a fucking brilliant artist and while I was blogging about Amanda Wachob, it crossed my mind that Scott is on my list and he deserves a shout out for landing a gig with Louis Vuitton as their latest collaboration with the label. Known for his laser etchings and paintings, he's taken to their coveted bags and models with his vision and are pretty ace. The bags are not for me nor my taste, but they are beautiful. It also helps when your client is head and Artistic Director of the fashion house, Marc Jacobs. Kudos.

My assistant Ben, (yes you Benji Jean Marie Babette Chalmers) is always busting my balls about my clothes. Sure I poke fun of his shoes. But I had a rule, If I don't like the shoe, I won't sleep with you!
Yet he says I have a style, which makes me thinks I believe he thinks I get dressed in the dark or a six year old with Special Needs chooses what I wear. Still I wont wear my good clothes to work, as I pay to much for those to be ruined by the dreaded tattoo ink. But here I will always bow at the church of Dame Vivienne Westwood. Her son made my outfit when I got hitched to Bren, it was her tartan that he knicked from his mother's Design Studio in Battersea that made my dandy waistcoat. Side bar, I had Bren's tooth in my pocket during the cermony If you get a chance to check out Barnsley and Joe's shop A Child Of The Jago.
It's just around the corner from my shop, the have some great stuff in there.

While there you might want to purchase this little T wich proceeds will got to Humanade!
