Boff tells me about the festival of last year;
I enjoyed it last year and i could see that the festival has huge potential to grow and get better and better. I can imagine it being the glastonbury of tattooing soon
Cammy goes to the festival
for the positive vibes, surroundings and people...
...best tattoo based weekend he ever had....
Goldilox:
I was working there last year and it was beautiful beyond words. It was polar opposite of the commercialism of tattoo conventions. The kind of experience that words,however poetic seem to do no justice to.
I think the main reason I'm there this year and was last is to support the whole ethos of the festival. A gathering of like minded individuals.
As well as to do some badass tattoos and have lots of fun! ;-)

1. For wich reason you're working on this festival?
Money- new contacts - spiritual - Beer or an other reason.
2.You were there also last year?
What was your impression?
Ferank Manseed
1.this is the only event of its kind,completely unique.a celebration of traditional hand tattooing.a focus on the spiritual ,non commercial side of tattooing in a beautiful location.swastika energy is very strong in Cobh,i go there often,the local cathedral has beautiful mosaic of swastikas on its floor as does the local bank.i have been a regular guest artist at Phil Cummins ORIGINAL SKIN TATTOO STUDIO in Cobh for two years ,i feel honoured to be part of the family.im tattooing and performing also at the festival.i guess primarily im going to the festival to be a part of the magic that will take place and to see my family and friends. 2.yes i was there last year.the most amazing collection of artists and friends i have had the pleasure of spending quality time with,ever.truly awesome.looking forward to this years event.
ManWoman
I was guest speaker at the first Cobh Fest and will be there again this year, in 3 weeks or so. I loved it because after 40 years of spreading the word about this sacred symbol it is becoming true again. Much Love and big family gathering will be your experience.
Raoul van Noorden
1.
iam working (enjoying myself) at this festival, because of the nature of the event. its an event reclaiming the swastika. positive minded people who try to connect and who all go for the same goal, showing the world the swastika sign is a sign of peace and happiness. its a sign of luck and harmony. people from all over the world join to make an effort for a cause of giving a sign the enegy back it had once for 10.000 years.
also this event concentrates on traditional hand tattooing. an artform almost extinct. just a handfull of artist keep practising these methods to show the world the true nature of tattoo. the energy and feeling, between artist and model. showing time doesnt matter, connecting past, present and future. marking the skin with designs inspired by the past to show people in the future what this persone is about.
2.
i attended the first edition of the festival and it was a beautifull event, capturing the invisible connection we all have. showing the world there are still tribes, although we are not limited by borders anymore.
*free the swastika*
one tribe
one nation
one soul
peace
the flying swastika
Sonja Punktum
1. its the first event - i know - bringing so much dotwork and handpoking artists together. for me, who is so much in love with dotwork, it seams to be paradise! meeting and working together with artists i admire for so long. and meeting friends and artists i already know and love.
also i will start being on the road for a few month and cobh is the first date of my tour and the first time i will be working outside of germany. i think this is a great combination and a promising start to spread my work and love.
2. unfortunately there was no possibility to go to the first festival. but i heard a lot about it, only positiv tunes.
Swastika Tradtional Tattoo & World Culture Festival
A few days ago i had the chance to talk with Phil Cummins organisator of the Tradtional Tattoo & World Culture Festival. Since the festival starts at 3 june it's about time i give it some attention here so a little more people get informed to go to this unique festival
SwastikaBlog Q.
How far your with the set up now for the coming festival Phil?
About 75% done?
[Phil Cummins]
Just about
SwastikaBlog Q.
A little about last year and your idea and changes for this year
maybe organisation wise what is the big change this year?
[Phil Cummins]
Well, the biggest change is we are making it alot more affordable for people to come and making it alot more music based, we have 4 days this year and it will be fully packed with live music.
We will be having the suspension in a ritual teepee with a native american sweat lodge as part of the ritual
Pushing to make it even more spiritual than before, and bringing swastika to the forefront again, but really pushing the reclamation of it.
I have personally gained an even deeper knowledge of the spiritual importance of swastika since last year and my mission to reclaim it has changed somewhat.
Personally want to push the spiritual side of it, as i feel that is the most imprtant aspect of swastika at this present time it is some thing that is very important to me
Alot more so than before, the world is changing rapidly and i feel swastika is a very important part of that change, working on that bit.
I have to try and make as universal as possible with out coming across as a total lunatic
I have the support of lots more people than last year which is fantastic, swastika and the importance of this festival and the spiritual importance of it to me.
I have had the most difficult year i think i will ever experience, it is for the right reasons though
I believe i have been given a mission from god in some aspects to do this.
Like i said the world is changing rapidly and people need to be awakened and this festival is an important part of this.
SwastikaBlog Q.
You feel the strengt and the power to push a little harder
how i understand you?
[Phil Cummins]
My friend, i am going to push this as hard and as far as i can
i have strength like i have never had before.
Go here for some more info on the festival!

Swastika Auction
Wooden hand painted tattoo machine box by Cammy
Yesterday i had a mail from my friend Phil from Cobh co Cork (Traditional Tattoo and world Culture Festival)
Hi Folks,
We are pleased to announce that we finally have the charity art auction for the Traditional Tattoo and world Culture Festival up online.
We had planned on holding the auction on the weekend of the festival itself but as some of you know, time got the better of us and we never got around to it on the weekend.
All proceeds of the auction will go directly to Cobh Hospital. Which has been neglegeted by the Irish government for some time now and is in desperate need of funding to survive, so all money recieved will be very greatfully recieved.

We are still waiting for some pieces to go up on line and will keep people posted as they go up. Some of the images from the photographer who shot all the art have gone missing somewhere in the system and we couldnt load them on line properly, so we are working on this and plan to have the second "wave" of art up in the next week or so.

Swastika Ferank Manseed II
A few weeks ago i did a little presentation of Ferank for the festival in Cobh, Cork.
Now i had the chance to talk with him a little more!

Swastikablog: From were came your interest for Swastika?
Ferank:
in the mid eighties i was experimenting a lot with dream machines and strobes.
myself and a friend built some crazy contraptions.after i used the dream machine i would
sit and draw obsessively and freely for hours.my hand kept trying to draw swastika forms and
i fought desperately to not draw them.
i didnt see the swastika as bad,i saw it around me in the hindu community where i lived at the time,
but i couldnt see a place for it in my art.
it was a joy and revelation to me when i first read Manwoman's interview in the Modern Primitives book by RE SEARCH.
it opened my eyes to how universal a symbol it is,which i didnt know.
Swastikablog: Can you tell me a little about the Buddist, start and live?
Ferank:
then very early into my tattoo career a piercer friend had me tattoo his hands and arms with beautiful swastikas.
they came out great and i continued to do swastikas on his skin.
we made a plan to have a ritual tattoo session in one of englands many stone circles.....
when i looked in my books for a suitable sacred site for the ritual i discovered the SWASTIKA STONE ,situated on Ilkley Moore,Yorkshire.
i had never heard of this place.we went there the next day and myself and two friends tattooed the swastika from the stone into our skin.
it was an awesome experience,very energizing.
from that moment on SWASTIKA came to me in many forms on a daily basis,it still does and i love it!
Swastikablog: Swastikas, Buddist, tattoo, what about that combination?!!?
How that comes out in tatto in live in general.
Ferank:
my interest in Buddhism began at a very young age at school when a teacher read us the book THE THIRD EYE,by LOPSANG RAMPA.
It fascinated my young mind.
as an adult it was the beautiful mandalas,thangkas and pictures of deity's that beckoned me to learn more...
im still learning..i hope it never stops.
the bodhisatva buddha is often shown with the swastika on his chest,representing four paths of buddhism,it is also directly linked to Vishnu the hindu god.
the SAYAGATA pattern is said to have been born from Vishnu's chest hair!!
it is a blessing.
i have a huge swastika tattoo on my ribs of the word YUNGDRUNG in tibetan script in a swastika form it translates as 'unchanging wellbeing'.
i try to do everything with COMPASSION,as i live by the mantra AUM MA NI PAD MI HUM.it is a beautiful and powerful mantra.
i only tattoo positive things,i refuse to do negative tattoos im a very positive person.
Swastikablog: I read you influenced quiet some people with your thinking reactions
and things are coming out of that, how you look at that?
(The festival, the movie etc..)
Ferank:
I travel constantly spreading the word of swastika and tattooing by hand,which is very portable.my studio fits in a small bag,i can take it anywhere......
so i do! i dont need electricity and i have a headlamp if it gets dark.im very lucky that i do something i love.very lucky.
influencing and encouraging others is something i will always do i think.i have always done this,its how i live.
i like to push people towards their creative passions and help them embrace that.art in all forms is so valuable and precious.
i was encouraged to live my dreams,i try to encourage others the same.
these are exciting , magical times.
