Cheers for the heads up mate and thanks for the great commentsIf you fancy a little more practice on leather without breaking the bank then head down to a charity shop and buy a few ladies leather hand bags. Plenty of usable tattooable leather in those and good for pouches, draw string bags etc.
Sadly, down this way the local charity shops are a con. £250 for an old ladies rotten sofa! £50 for a leather jacket an old man died in and £15 for a manky handbag that hasn't been in fashion since the 80's. lol rip off buggers!
Also, I think your engraving is very tidy.
It's not everyones thing but it certainly appeals to a decent portion of readers and is something different for anyone customers who want something extra for their toys. I have a feeling the leather tattooing will probably be more desirable to the majority of members here, but the two are certainly a great addition to the multitude of options for us guys to buy/admire. Keep up the good work and get investing in some stock so you can make some coin mate!
Hopefully a first for BCUK

I should be finishing a bow up soon and a leather bound handle with work like that would set any bow off no end....
Could you do the traditional styke with two pins or sharpened bamboo (I think it was bamboo or similar? )
That'd be very prim tech style

I think pyrography would be easier, but I guess you could.

Thank you very much chis means a lot and the leather is an awesome offer that would be great
I'm amazed at how many of you are supporting this new idea and can't thank you all enough for your great and helpful suggestions
I think it caters to those of us who like the idea of a tattoo, but don't want to grow old with one. Tatooing our gear is a much more appealing option.
Very very true my friend I've run out of my own skin too so I thought this would be a great option to carry on with my passion and all thanks to you for finding this little gem
Nice one Trev, really good experiment !!
I am very interested in this. Maybe you could treat the Test leather piece with some leather oil (neatsfoot?) and see if its effects the ink, maybe also bend the leather a bit. Would be interested how the tattoo looks/acts.

Already done it mate it reacts just the same as a tattoo on human skin it really is no different it's perfect mate
Having no way to tattoo, I did experiment with ink on leather, but even after 3 days drying it smudged. This seems the proper way of doing it and I hope you get a kick back from it.
Right I've bent the leather I've rubbed it and no smudging or bleeding I'm now soaking it in water just to see what happens and how it dries so fingers crossed ill post pics later of my findings
