      THE BOSS IS COMING!

 
Skin and Ink
How can you show the world you are a true Kelly believer? For some people wearing a t-shirt or a badge is not nearly enough, they prefer a more permanent display. But sometimes a tattooed chest or back does have to be covered up. So the Ironoutlaw has set up a permanent display of Skin and Ink, allowing the viewer to marvel at the graphical beauty and winch at the sheer pain these people put themselves through all in the name of Ned Kelly.

Dave Fagan

What makes a person sit through hours of pain and torture? Well for one man, Dave Fagan of Glenrowan, Victoria, it was his love of the Kelly Legend and countless bottles of bourbon. With an investment of over $2000.00 waiting to be etched into his back Dave sought the expert scalpel of Gary Theobald from GUSART Tattoos situated at 16 New Street, Kyneton, Victoria. Gary and Dave went through numerous sitting to achieve the skin and ink masterpiece that went on display for the first time during the media launch of Ned: The Exhibition at the Old Melbourne Gaol. Even Ian Jones was impressed, although I think Gary will be waiting a while for a booking from our number one Kelly expert. However, to reserve your own piece of mobile art give Gary a call on 0418 371 133 or check out his web site at gusart.com.au. On February 9, 2002, Dave Fagan won first place in the “Best Australiana” category at the A.U.P.T.A. Tattoo Show.

Alex McGreevy

Alex finally got his Ned Kelly tattoo finished last week (July 2006) and sent this photo in to prove it. This piece of art was completed by a New Zealand artist called Justin at Zulu Tattoo in Dublin, Ireland. It was Justin's first Ned Kelly work, and he copied the image from the picture we supplied Alex NcGreevy just for the occasion!

While news reports abound with stories of Ned Kelly's missing bones not a word is mentioned about his stolen skull? Back in December 1978, Kelly's cranium was lifted from the Old Melbourne Gaol in what appeared to be a university student prank. One of the culprits was rumoured to be an ex-prime minister's son, yet to this day no one knows what happened to it. While a dirt farmer in Western Australia claims he has the skull buried in a tin can in his backyard, evidence has consistently disproved his claim. For while he allegedly carries one of the skull's teeth on a necklace, it is in fact Ernest Knox's skull (hence the EK engraved on the skull). This EK was executed in 1894 for murder, after the shooting death of a jeweller's son during a bungled armed robbery. Either way, they are human remains and the befuddled Western Australian police should have confiscated this skull when they first heard his claim.

This re-release includes an extra 30 minutes of special features beautifully presented in a new and exciting cover design. The viewer now has the privilege of accompanying Ian Jones, an eminent Kelly historian and author, as he revisits such sites as the Kelly and Police caves, Glenrowan, Stringybark Creek and Joe Byrne and Aaron Sherritt's secret hide out in Byrnes Gully. The main feature is also an exciting journey through the events of Ned Kelly’s life and the country that shaped it, told through rare photographs and press drawings. Showcasing many beautiful locations of North Eastern Victoria, the DVD provides an accurate guide for the traveller interested in visiting the places where these remarkable events occurred.
