Count Every Beautiful Thing We Can See

We’ve featured this beautiful Chris Dingwell backpiece before in a more unfinished state and hot holy damn, it is looking tremendous. The cloud effect, which was discussed at length in the previous post, is much clearer now, the classical-style nudes are a great touch, and the birds on her shoulder are a lovely addition as well. Hopefully we’re kept in the loop if this goes any further!

Kentucky Pride! I have to say, I’m really enjoying the “rising sun” motif with ol’ Colonel Sanders over top, there. I’m still waiting for the cagematch tattoo featuring Wilford Brimley, the Quaker Oats man and the aforementioned Colonel fighting it out to the bloody death. Don’t let me down, America.

After the jump, just for fun, two of the finest bits of KFC-related comedy you’ll probably see all day.

Well, who is this finely dressed chap? Oh, it’s Grundstuck, who took some time out of his busy schedule to send in this photo from what looks like the 1950s. Cardigan? Rotary phone? It’s either the inter-war period or modern-day Williamsburg. Or, you know, Italy, where he lives. Probably that last one.

The last time we saw Bloodlessness, she was getting her tongue split and inspiring typically wonderful Photoshop debates. This time around? Just munching on a squid. Just because. Got a problem with that? She doesn’t. Big deal. One squid.

When I Taste Life

So, the wonderful Jason Stephan has been dabbling in the black arts, apparently, because there he goes, cribbing from my nightmares again for tattoo ideas! At least he included the serene, vegetarian elephant to mitigate the bloodthirsty jackalope on the left.

After years as the owner and operator of Electric Eye Tattoo Studio, Stephan’s happily given up the business aspect of the industry and is focusing on tattooing full-time at King Street Body Gallery in Orlando, Florida. If he’s going to produce work like this, I don’t think anybody’s going to have a problem with that.

Held by Hooks, and Each Other
by Jonathon

Suspended, Not Silenced
by Jonathon
June 6, 2025
There’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

Some stories take their time, unfolding over decades, through life’s long detours and diversions. But dreams never rest until they’re fully realized. Even after 15 years, Robb knew there was still a suspension experience waiting for him. Something left unfinished, something essential. At the Ontario… Read more: A Nightbird’s Passage
What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soul

May 30, 2025
First suspensions are rarely just about the body—they’re a meeting point between the physical and the deeply personal. Stepping into this experience isn’t simply about trying something new, but about stepping outside yourself to a version you had always sensed was waiting. I’ve had a… Read more: What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soul

One of the most powerful things about being at a convention like OSC is the sheer concentration of experience, creativity, and capability in one place.
