I recently posted a historical article mentioning that in Ethiopia, mostly women get tattoos. John Durante sends in this photo of him and an Ethiopian client of his at Laughing Buddha in Seattle, Washington. I thought I’d posted it in the past, but I couldn’t find it — my apologies if this is a repeat.
BME/News and Modblog highlight only a small fraction of what
I think I’ve read every single post on ModBlog and I dont remember this photo so I think you’re good.
Did his studio do all that face work then?
there is nothing but deep love in my heart for the spectacular specimens of humanity at laughing buddha.
NOW you’re talking.
I’m proud to say that I’ve been pierced by him.
Absolutely beautiful work on her. But we all know I love facial tattoos.

I think this is a repeat post, but the other one didn’t have the guy in the picture.
yes, you’ve posted a photo of her before, but not with john durante
This man makes me so happy. He is an icon to me because of the pride he takes in his work.
Her facial tattoos are beautifully simple and succinct. Sometimes so little can say so much.
thats well good 🙂
some of her work was done in Ethiopia traditionally, she wanted to continue the tattoos, at came in to Laughing Buddha, and had George Long continue her work, she has had more tattooing since this photo, as well I have done her bridge, and lateral lip piercings since this photo… I love seeing her in my neighborhood almost daily!!!
Wow, that’s really cool!
John Durante, You amaze me so much. 😀 You’ve been all around the world! I is jealous…..:P
