I really like Avolare‘s “Icarus falling from the sun” backpiece, part of a large flight-themed montage. It’s being done by Chris Dingwell at Sanctuary Tattoo in Portland, Maine.

A Tattoo Good Enough To Eat
Written by
I’m posting this tattoo to show my friend Michael, who’s a chef at a top restaurant here in Toronto. He doesn’t have any tattoos himself, but I’ve met quite a few modified chefs — this one, the wearer of this veal demi-glace half sleeve (by George at Shelton Tattoo in Shelton, CT) explains,
“To me one of the differences between a regular restaurant and a great restaurant is whether they make their own stocks, and demi-glace is the ultimate stock. It has to be done right from the beginning because all of the flavors — or mistakes — are magnified when the sauce is finished.”
Elements of both the tattoo and the stock include a wine bottle, ladle, stock pot, carrots and carrot tops, leeks, onion, water, spices, celery, veal knuckle, and tomatoes. Anyway, I see tons of computer geek tattoos, so maybe it’s time for a food geek tattoo…

“Giving Life While Receiving Art”
Written by
You may remember that in the past I posted a pregnant Bree (iam:Wandering_Star). She’s since had her baby, and is back to getting tattooed by Ben of Slave to the Needle in Seattle, nursing baby in tow. If you’re wondering, no, tattooing and nursing is not like nursing and eating spicy food — it has no effect on the child.
Note: Just to be clear, this was done privately and off-shift — nursing babies on mothers getting tattooed are not within shop norms at STTN!
