“Who Killed Teddy Bear?”

Posted on April 4, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

Such a sad title for the tattoo, and she looks so sad as well. The tattoo is by Roopiec in Poland. You can click on the picture to see the tattoo being done… I hope she’s OK.

Wahconah Falls Suspension

Posted on April 3, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

Thank you to The Spic for sending me these wonderful photos of a two-point (locking hooks for safety) suicide-style suspension in Wahconah Falls in Dalton, MA. This was facilitated by Rites of Passage. Click the picture for a closer view.

PS. I’m back! But as you may have read on my other blog, I’m going through some mental crap right now, so some days you might be without posts. Sorry, I’m doing my best!

Pierced Drinking Appliance?

Posted on April 3, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

Check out this wild surface weave by Crea from S&M Tattoo in Sarasota, Florida, done for the 2006 Tampa TattooFest. I’m not going to tell you that doing a ton of surface piercings and then drinking beer through them is a good idea, but it sure was a funny set of pictures to brighten my day!

Clarus the Dogcow Tattoo!

Posted on April 3, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

Hello, 1983 (not long before the last time a Mac was my primary computer)! Check out this funny Dogcow tattoo by Monica at House of Tattoos in Amsterdam. Did you know that I can’t tell you the sound that Clarus makes when she barks without putting a little ™ for Apple Computer?

Moof!™

Damn, Kavida!

Visit Kadiva by clicking her name, or the photographer by clicking the picture. She’s actually got loads of fashion shots that she’s done with various photographers if you’re interetsed (on her IAM page).
