Dragon Tattoo
Written by
I recently met a really cool tattooed French Canadian powerlifter and talked to him for a while about body modification… He’d mentioned that one of the goals with tattooing for him was not just seeking out a good tattoo, but more of a quest for the “vibe” that the combination of tattoos would put off — so it’s not so much that the tattoo has to be aesthetically perfect; it just has to move you toward your overall body goal of “looking tough” (or whatever). Now, normally I’d laugh off something like that as fakery and poserism, but trust me — this guy’s a professional powerlifter and definitely has the underlying strength to back up the claims.
Anyway… Got a bit distracted there with that story, but this dragon tattoo by Yayo at Blue Demon Ink in Huntington Park, California reminded me to tell it. And I thought that readers would like the photo too because it’s a nice candid portrait shot.

Carved Moko
Written by
Evildustin‘s face brand by Johnkid at The Piercing Lounge in Madison, WI looks like it’s healing nicely so far… If I remember right, in Maori culture there were two ways of doing a facial tattoo. One was similar to normal tattooing, and the other is more like a combination of wood carving and ink rubbing, and left a three dimensional “tattoo”, rather than just the image. This hyfrecator branding reminded me of that…
Oh, and for the record, I have never heard Dustin call this a moko or make similar references, so please don’t post a message claiming he’s being disrespectful or committing some other cultural appropriation sin. That said (and I mention this because I saw a Maori reader on Tanya’s body modification blog), maybe someone can post with more information.
