Andy Warhol on one side and Paul Frank on the other! Both tattoos are by the very talented (and multi-talented) Shane Munce of Norristown Tattoo in Norristown, PA. Oh, and they’re on Star.

It’s not really a cutting…
Written by
OK, it is a cutting, but not like you think — it was done using an electrical hyfrecator turned up into cut mode, rather than with a blade. Thanks to Brenno from Body Factory in Trieste, Italy for continuing to send in photos of his great work.

Note To Self

Ummjon tells me they’re actually Ryan Adams lyrics… Either way I like the sentiment. Tattoo by Damian (who I’m told I really need to interview soon), at King of Fools in Toronto, Ontario.

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.
