Inked...Again


This past week I went in for some new ink. I always spend months if not years thinking about what I would like to have permanently inked into my skin and where I would like to place it, then spend time researching the artist if it is not someone I've already visited. This time I went for something near and dear to my heart, the eggplant. It is not only my favorite food but it has been something associated with me by various people for more than a decade now, I thought it was only fitting to be with me always. I normally have work done by male artists, it's just happened that way, not on purpose, but I felt this piece needed a woman's touch so I decided on the talented Joy Rumore owner of Twelve 28 Tattoo, if you are in NYC I recommend checking her out. I also recommend Alex McWatt owner of Three Kings Tattoo which is whom I'll be headed back to soon, as he's already done a few large pieces on me.

Tricky "Tattoo" (Siouxsie & The Banshees Cover)
Petra Haden "Tattoo" (The Who Cover)
Kaki King "Fashion Tattoo" (Live Bubonix Cover)

As always, support the artists, click the artist name for the website or use the links to the right to buy music as well as support the blog.
