    I’m sure the title of this entry could have been any number of things, but clickthrough for a closer view of this super-intricate piece by Taylor Jackson of Golden Lotus Tattoo, Oneonta, NY.

  • Happy New Ear!

    I’m not sure if Liam meant squat in the sense that this lobe splitting* was performed in a dilapidated house or it’s the name of a studio I couldn’t find using Google (my money’s on the former) either way it was done by Richy in Birmingham, England.

    * – Technically it’s a lesser-known form of the C-section, known in Birmingham as the V-section.

  • Star Spangled Bummer

  • Bird Boy

    You all seemed to enjoy the hint of owl in this post, so here’s another bird related tattoo on a rather handsome chap!

    I asked him if they held any particular significance and this is what he cooed/hooted/tweeted back to me..

    Each of the birds has a particular significance (Roo: Yeah ok, I stole those two words and pasted them above) to me. I chose a flock of completely different birds because they are each beautiful and unique like the convictions they stand for..

    Clockwise: Peacock – Vanity. Duck Hunt – Appreciation for a digital lifestyle. Hummingbirds – Fitness, Toucan – Deforestation and environmentalism. Owl – Knowledge. Cardinal – Family. Ravens – Appreciation for literature. Bird from “Berenstain Bears and the Truth – Honesty, and finally the Condor (center) – Stability (plus it tied everything together nicely!).

  • Aye, it’s an update.

    Apologies for the video glitch, I’ve moved the post back to draft for now and we’ll sort it out as soon as we can*.

    Hopefully it’s the last of the gremlins we need to keep dry conquer!

    Quite a few of you non-IAMer’s have asked how my ayes are doing.. I’m over the moon to say they’ve healed beautifully without any complications! Clickthrough for another photo (both taken by Allana a few days ago, because I’ve yet to work out how to use my camera).

    *Edit – Fixed! I’ll put the video post up again tomorrow morning!
