Huh, I had no idea that geishas were MAC cosmetics’ bread and butter. Tattooed by Rodney Raines at Ace Custom Tattoo in Charlotte, NC.

- Held by Hooks, and Each Otherby JonathonFacilitators and practitioners — the very people who bring so many suspensions to life — often pour their energy into others, quietly setting aside their own opportunities.

- Suspended, Not Silencedby JonathonThere’s something undeniably powerful about watching someone working through the stages of suspension. We all build up ideas about ourselves—what we’re allowed to feel, how much we’re allowed to express, when it’s okay to break. For some, suspension is not about pushing physical limits its… Read more: Suspended, Not Silenced
- A Nightbird’s Passageby JonathonSome stories take their time, unfolding over decades, through life’s long detours and diversions. But dreams never rest until they’re fully realized.

- What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soulby JonathonFirst suspensions are rarely just about the body—they’re a meeting point between the physical and the deeply personal.

awww thats my calf! and just for the record she is applying russian red lipstick.
that’s cool. MAC-wearers now seem sorta like neo-urban geisha.
Mac is my favorite! Not sure about putting brand names on my skin, but it’s a nice tattoo.
i actually thought the same thing, the kind of people who buy such vibrant makeup like MAC and look so painted remind me of geisha as well
i love vibrantly colored tattoos. and on a tiny sidenote, i think it’s more along the lines of a chinese opera character than a geisha.
yep. definitely more chinese wayang than noh theatre.
kinda lame.
Its actually based off of a face chart from one of MAC’s earlier makeup lines but I can see why people would think of Chinese opera when they look at. I wanted a really avant garde makeup look for her instead of more traditional makeup.
I love MAC! I just wish I could afford it.
MAC products rock! Kinda expensive, but great quality and worth every penny. I would love to buy more of their products when I get more spare dollars. Bills over beauty. 🙁
Lovely tattoo, gen. Drop me a message on MSN, girlie! I miss you!
The artist did a good job on the geishas hair, it looks like old-style geisha wig hair. 🙂
Definately a fan of MAC geishas.:p
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think Mac did all the makeup in Memoirs of a Geisha.
The only thing “kinda lame” is calling other people’s tattoos lame, especially when you know they’re reading the comments.
