NYC, here I come!

Posted on May 2, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

There are a lot of reasons I’m headed to New York, some business, some pleasure. I’ll be there from tomorrow night until Friday… got myself a nice little hotel next to Central Park so if I get bored I can go for a walk and get mugged or get a bj from a hobo or something. Anyway, part of the reason I’m going has to do with the photos below of Charlotte Bell and Bella Vendetta (pictures by Bob Coulter).

You decide whether this falls into the pleasure or business category.

Anyway, I’ll try and keep the blog updated while I’m gone, but no promises.

Green Man Backpiece Tattoo

Posted on May 2, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

Elisabetta just finished off her backpiece. It’s one of the nicer Green Man themed pieces I’ve seen, by Stefano Marchesini from Apelles Tattooo in Bologna (Italy).

A little light bloodplay

Posted on May 2, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

OK, it’s all cleaned up in this photo. Thanks Sara for showing us there actually is fun to be had in Manitoba, Canada… A province currently fighting to outlaw scarification by professionals — so politicians, be proud of yourself — you’ve just guaranteed that a whole lot more home cutting is going to happen. Was that really your wish? Get a clue, old dudes.

Armenian Genocide Tattoo

Posted on May 2, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

Spencer got this tattoo by Kevin at Precision Body Arts in Nashua, NH on April 25th. It’s an Armenian flag with the number of people who died during the genocide written below it.

Beer Tattoos

Posted on May 2, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

Now, I’m not going to say anything bad about this Miller Time tattie, because it’s just begun…

…but I did get a kick out of this Coors Attack tattoo done by Dan Henk (AKA IAM:Deadguy, currently working at PURE in Brooklyn) at the Inkslinger’s Ball.

Got a beer tattoo? Send it in to BME!

Be back soon!

Assuming no [more] emergencies happen, I’ll be in NYC most of the week, but I should be able to keep posting here with any luck… we’ll see… I’ll do my best. Either way, the technical problems look like they’re coming to their end [I hope].

Hope everyone at APP is having fun at the convention! Full post this evening.
