I have a couple more examples of really nice healed fine-line scarification work to post over the next little while, but let’s start with this one in a Celtic theme… That is why you’re looking at this picture, right? The healed cutting?

Pinup Backpiece
My friend and photographer Efrain Gonzalez sends in this photo of a series of pinup tattoos taken at the recent NYC Tattoo Convention (2006). Let’s see… since I like making everything a game, how many of the pinups can you identify by name?
Check back tomorrow!
Sorry I’ve been so silent recently! Phil and I have been putting aside tons of great stuff to post, and I should be able to start getting more active here tomorrow with any luck. We’re also in the process of building a totally new interface to this blog that I think should make it much easier to navigate (and search).
Anyway, thanks to Lina from Austria for the picture. I don’t know if pictures like this help me in my “mission” to stay single until 2007 (I figure that’s how long it’ll take to clear my head of the issues that caused the divorce). Maybe they make it easier, maybe they make it harder… I have no idea?

Gadsen Flag Tattoo
Since I’m currently in America, I thought I’d share Scott’s Liberty or Death tattoo, by Big James at Artistic Armor (love the name of the studio by the way) in Tampa, Florida. Scott writes,
The rattlesnake is taken from a Revolutionary War era "Gadsden Flag". It represents colonists standing up to England — "She never begins an attack, nor, when once engaged, ever surrenders: She is therefore an emblem of magnanimity and true courage. She never wounds 'till she has generously given notice, even to her enemy."
Anyway, I’ll try and post more when I get back on Tuesday, but officially I’m starting up again on Wednesday and will also start working on an entirely new format for ModBlog shortly to make it more searchable and so on.
