Tattoos

or have they just shaved the area in preparation?

I reckon sleeping, showering, speaking, smiling, eating etc are all gonna be pretty uncomfortable for a while.

Perhaps he undertook 5 sessions of laser epilation at the London Laser Hair Removal centre in Notting Hill Gate.

nice tats, i noticed a thumb ring, i don't understand them :/

if he's done 5 sessions of laser epilation the scarification is probably a walk in the park, my friend busted her beauticians nose with an ill timed/ unintended kick having the bikini line done.

better than spiders legs though...

^^^That thumb-ring is mine; as is the thumb. Not much to understand, really - solid ring, flesh, made whole.

makes your thumb look huge.

matches the size of my self-delusion

hahahahaha

My piercer Markus that I go to when I'm in Manc. He has branding done

Here are some pics of my new piece done yesterday at Shoreline in St Ives Cornwall. Japanese inspired crane and weeping cherry blossom, this was one 2 hour sitting including finalising the design, back again in a couple of weeks to finish off the tree and blossom as well as some 'filling swirls'.

^That crane is sweet. Liking the red.

The scarification further up is a bit rich for me.

I don't like scarification. I don't like solid blackwork.

I like colour. I like old-fashioned tattoo art.

Diff'rent strokes, etc.

You already said :)

Some artforms I want in my skin, but there's a much wider range I can appreciate on other people.

The art brut style of tattooing is incredibly beautiful, but wouldn't go with my eventual full coverage suit. The strength of character to make a aesthetic statement is an attractive quality, even if the tastes aren't to your liking.

My father would kill me if I went for solid black sleeve or scarification. I'm 40 now, so I'd have to wait until I'm 50 or something...

'Real'Tribal tattoos (not your generic flash shitty ones), like the one I posted above aren't my thing at all, I still appreciate them though.

I've done too many things to myself body wise. My parents have stopped caring :p Think I broke the camel's back with the implant thing haha.

Last week my mum did ask me when I was going to stop. I said I wasn't. I was 17 when I started gaining interest, and read up a lot on it via BMEZINE, IAM.BMEZINE, Bodymod etc

I'll grab some stills of the chaps arm from the video at some point, was pretty interesting, he had the entire arm blacked out, then single cuts (rather than removing flesh) in the sayagata pattern so that the scar that results is very thin. should look pretty incredible against the solid black.

By the way, I've decided to replicate a coule of Durer's etchings on my shoulder and upper back. Probably will entrust my local chap Bruno Wayhs Neto who's getting better and better in b&w realistic pieces. If not I'll wait for a free spot at Sylvia's

My boyf's left arm is solid black also. I'm not 100% sure what branding he is getting onto it though. He's also doing his shins solid black too.

Have I said I like colour and old fashioned art?

You crazy kids. What?

:P

I noticed the scarifcation was done by Iestyn, he's a lovely bloke. Did my playpiercing.

What kind of sicko uses play piercings for non-kink purposes?

For shame, Lileth. For shame.
