Dia de los Meurtos is a celebration in memory of those loved ones who have passed on. To me this tattoo says that even death won’t keep these two souls apart, as their love transcends even death.
Tattoo by Nick Whybrow from Self Sacrifice in London, England.

I could be completely wrong, but I believe that this tattoo is a depiction of a Rahwana mask. Rahwana, or Ravana is a hindu deity with a very contentious background. To some he is an evil deity, yet to others he signifies knowledge. In most depictions he has 10 heads, but he is known to be shown with only one, like the example below. I mentioned yesterday how well Vincent Hocquet can blend in religious imagery into his abstract pieces, and this shows he can tackle these images on their own. It’s hard to see without zooming in the photo, but the vast majority of this piece is done with stippling, a technique that a number of artists have been using when approaching similar subject matters.

Time and time again, Vincent Hocquet’s designs have blown our collective minds. How he manages to weave in spiritual symbols with geometric shapes and abstract art. He is truly a master at what he does. Here he is at work on his friend Rob’s bodysuit, which is turning out beautifully.

The beautiful thing about corsets is that they can be tailor made for a person’s body. They carry an aesthetic that goes back centuries, yet the piercings firmly plant them in today’s world. Mike French not only puts together elegant corsets like this one, he also hand crafts the jewelry, allowing him even greater freedom with his creations.
