Celebrating body modification culture since 1994.

I always thought it was “Waldo”, but perhaps Nick Dutt at Tattooz R Us in Kilsyth. Victoria, Australia is looking to avoid a trademark lawsuit?
Actually, the truth is that in Australia (and most places other than the US and Canada), the character is “Wally”, and was renamed “Waldo” in 1987 for the US market. I’m not really sure why. They also call him “Walter” in Germany (I guess even German children appreciate the value of being formal and polite), and “Charlie” in France (who knows why).

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.

Thanks to PereiraPiercer for sending me this tattoo by Paulo at Flame Tattoo in Sorocaba, Brasil (a city a bit inland from Sao Paulo). I’m assuming it’s a medical marijuana tattoo (I had no idea there was a medical marijuana movement in Brasil), but hell, even if it says that the passage of sweet mary jane from supplier to client is a sacred act and nothing more, I’m lovin’ it™.

I can’t tell if PereiraPiercer is messing with me in this group photo from the Sao Paulo Tattoo Festival (Brasil)… that dude on the far right has got the craziest unibrow I’ve ever seen!
