One of the most striking modified people I know is Alice, who has a black sleeve, large scarification work, a mudra rib tattoo, a clamps chestpiece that I’ve featured before — loads of amazing work by artists such as Xed Le Head, Daniel DiMattia, Nicole Parish, Benoit, and Samppa Von Cyborg, but I really do get a kick out her little ankle script in faux-Hindi… look carefully, and you’ll see it reads “I’ll surf this beach” — an Apocalypse Now tattoo!
“If I say it’s safe to surf this beach…”

I also love her tattoo work, and her as a person. I didnt get to talk to her much at WoD last summer but the whole atmosphere around her is fun/calm/extatic and she is such a cute girl.
I also love that she is tattoing herself (from what I have understood). I love it all.

Are there any shots of her lower legs? I see tantalizing bits of other tattoos, but I would love to see them in full! Also, that mudra tattoo will forever rank as one of the most kick ass things I’ve ever seen on someone’s body.
