Cover-ups can be a tricky thing to pull off. The new design has to take the old work into account, both in shape and ink choices.

Tattoos can have all different kinds of meanings, some are simple, and others can have a meaningful story behind them. This tattoo is the latter. Amanda Grace Leadman from No Ka Oi Tattoo in Philadelphia helped one individual bring to life a tattoo design that signifies something very important.
“This tattoo connects my journey and my destination as a genderqueer trans person. Amanda and I collaborated in it’s design.”
The design they came up with is this, a pair of mating slugs suspending from a rusty key.

It’s easy, Michael Kozlenko‘s latest client. There’s so much going on in this chest/shoulder/arm piece, and all of it is awesome. Each section is unique, yet they all tie so well together. Have a look for yourself.
You can check out more of Michael’s work in the Kipod Tattoo Portfolio.

Leave it to the Mercury Suspension Team to put together a 4 person devil’s tightrope pull for a fundraiser. IAM:Benolyn sent in the photos from the event, but she didn’t include the names of anyone involved in the pull, although I do see Bradde on the far left of the first photo.
Update from Benolyn: The people pulling are Bradde Hamman, Josh Anderson, Travis Boersma, and Cory Boersma. Flec is our slackrope extraordinaire, and our anchor people are Matt Borsa, Pat Kuhn, John Osborne, and Andrew “Big Poppa” Mitchell.
