Six Bit Play Piercing
After the break are three more photos of play piercing on Dirtbag Danae, done by Melissa Modify at Modern Body in Sacramento, CA. All of these pictures of the sixty-four needle session were taken by Jill Auville.
“Giving Life While Receiving Art”
You may remember that in the past I posted a pregnant Bree (iam:Wandering_Star). She’s since had her baby, and is back to getting tattooed by Ben of Slave to the Needle in Seattle, nursing baby in tow. If you’re wondering, no, tattooing and nursing is not like nursing and eating spicy food — it has no effect on the child.
Note: Just to be clear, this was done privately and off-shift — nursing babies on mothers getting tattooed are not within shop norms at STTN!
Bunnies
So yesterday afternoon I was walking through the forest in High Park, and I noticed a big brown rabbit in front of me. It was almost tame — it slowly hopped away from me, never straying more than fifteen feet or so in distance. I followed it for about ten minutes, wondering whether there was something wrong with it for being so docile, whether it was someone’s pet that had been released, or maybe, just maybe, it was a magical rabbit, here to lead me away from all my troubles.
Perhaps it was just a sign that I should post Sara‘s picture of her and her bunny, with a Medusa piercing done by Clint at Artistic Skin Design in South Indianapolis?
Oh yeah, and I can’t stand the admin side of WordPress 2.5 so far. Bleh!
Cleavage jewelry
Apnea did this photo shoot for Bruno at A True Love Tattoo in London (UK).
“Light”
It’s nothing too dramatic — a nice set of stretched lobes — but I just liked this photo of Josh so I wanted to post it…
“One of God’s Own Prototypes”
“Too weird to live, too rare to die“, Little Miss Strange‘s Hunter S. Thompson tattoo done in Steadman-esque lettering by Joe D at Skinethics in Girard, Ohio.
Miss Cheyenne’s Skewered Forehead
You may remember the great photoshoot of play piercing by Chris from Native Rituals in Hattingen, Germany, that I posted recently. He and Miss Cheyenne had another session with photographer Thomas Burggraf, and I’d like to share those pictures as well. Two more are after the break.
“My Two Bills”
Owella writes of her two “Bills” caricatures by Saint Kele Idol at Aerochild Tattoos in Birmingham, Alabama,
People are gonna ask why… Mostly because they make me laugh.
Bill Cosby is the reason I understand the concept of time: around age three or four, on a car trip, I asked how much longer until we arrived to our destination. My mother told me it would be 30 minutes. I had no idea how long 30 minutes was, or what it felt like, so I asked her how long 30 minutes was. She responded: “one Cosby Show”, as it’s the show I watched the most as a child. The memories surrounding Mr. Cosby are part of a long list. All in all, his face makes me smile.
Bill Murray… he ended up being my all-time celebrity crush. He makes me laugh, he’s totally cute, and again, I’ve got tons of memories that he’s a part of. It just seemed right. And yes, they are going to remain in line-drawing form. No shading. That would look a tad too serious, I think!
Check out her amazing owl skeleton tattoo as well (which is still healing in this picture)… Even if you’re not into the tattoo above, I’m sure you’ll like that one, done by the same tattooist, but based on art by Chris Buzelli.
Two-Point Resurrection
This intense two-point resurrection-style suspension is from a recent The Hanged Man Team show in Melbourne Australia (c/o Piercing Pete). Click through for another photo from the same event, a22-person circle jerk, assuming I’m counting correctly.
