Riding the Trainer

Pretty funny photo — I’ve been trying to figure out if the chair has just been painted on the wall?

“Winter sucks,” says Scotty B! Personally I like winter, but I’m into big trucks with big tires, not ecologically and physically responsible vehicles unfortunately. Tattoos by Scott Sylvia, Jef Whitehead, Jeff Rassier, and Ben Thompson at Blackheart Tattoo in San Francisco, CA.

Invisible Men and Women

I don’t know if I’m stretching my political analogies too far, but I thought these two tattoos had a conceptual overlap. On the left of course is WWII symbol Rosie the Riveter, and on the right, Claude Rains (I think that’s what version it is) from The Invisible Man (1933). Either way, nice greywork by Ron Antonick at Gen X Tattoos in Willoughby, Ohio (just east of Cleveland).

A series of play piercings

Click through for a second procedural photo of Banger the Porn Star (nice username) doing a series of eyebrow play piercings, photographed by Jim Marcus at the Kresege Art Center in East Lansing, MI. The photo that you see here (before the click-through) was taken during an intense endorphin rush that almost stopped the photo shoot.

It’s just makeup :(

Her nice big piercings of course are real, done by Onkeltom at Tom Tom in Stockholm, Sweden, but Anna’s blue facial tattoos are of course just makeup. I love them though… it’s too bad the world isn’t more permissive… Can you imagine how beautiful an experience it would be to walk down the street and see nothing but people with a myriad of appearances and visages like this?
