Getting tattooed on the beach

Slashface was traveling in Koh Chang, Thailand and while on the lonely beach he came across Blue’s bamboo beachfront tattoo hut, and decided to get a skeletal horse animal of some sort done. He describes the process of having the tattoo done using traditional hand-poking as “slow and painful”, but the results seem good. But I do wonder if Blue’s taken a blood borne pathogens course?

No, it has nothing to do with the movie!

I always like unexpected reasons for tattoos. The wearer of this “DUDE” tattoo (by Kim Dark at Immortal Images in Melbourne, FL) says, “Believe it or not, this has nothing to do with Dude Where’s My Car. I had a shirt with that on it that, and I had the best times of my life wearing it.”

I have the same explanation for my “SWEET” tattoo by the way.

Sub-Clavicle Piercings

I sure like Mina’s piercings. They really freak me out in a “if any piercing is going to kill you, this one is” kind of way (a la transscrotal piercings they can internalize serious infections in ways that fester quickly and become dangerous very fast) but wow do they look great. I really like them a lot, and hers are now two and a half years old so she seems to be doing quite well with this elite piercing.
