Victorian-style Filigree Collaboration Cutting

Wayde Dunn (waydedunn.com), one of the most talented scarification artists out there, is visiting the US right now and is guest spotting with Ron Garza (rongarza.com) in Los Angeles until the end of the month (as in the end of April 2007), with whom he did this collaboration cutting, a pair of Victorian style filigree cuttings are on iam:xoTeresaxo — she’s standing in front of a mirror so you can see both the left and right side. This is the third large piece he’s done in LA so far (if you’re interested in work by either him or Ron, or both, you can contact them on IAM or via their websites).

It’s really quite thrilling to see how evolved scarification is becoming as an artform. Remember to set your calendars — Scar Wars III is being held in October 2007.

Where soul meets body

Pretty bold tattoo for an eighteenth birthday present to yourself! Self-designed (and I assume more inspired by Death Cab For Cutie than a deep need to escape to a specific island), but tattooed by Nathan at Cross Over Tattoo in Bayfront, Newport, Oregon.

I want to live where soul meets body
And let the sun wrap its arms around me
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
And feel, feel what its like to be new

Cause in my head there’s a greyhound station
Where I send my thoughts to far off destinations
So they may have a chance of finding a place
where they’re far more suited than here
