Two human skeletons with a huge blood vasculature are the main attractions for the visitors in the San Severo Chapel (De Sanctis street,19- inside the ancient spanish quarter of Naples). Nowaday nobody knows the author of this anatomical masterpiece: the San Severo guardian keeps in his mind and reports an ancient tail about the alchemy done by Raimondo de Sangro, the San Severo building’s owner. Three century ago he injected some unknown substance in two persons died accidentally which petrified all their veins, arteries and capillaries as well as several organs.

Autumn Swisher is, or should I say, was New York/Brooklyn Adorned piercer until she decided to go to California. Autumn is also a photographer and owns beatiful tattoos among those, her chest piece by Mr Hooper. Autumn will be making a research on Body Modification communities in the US for Sang Bleu 6. Farewell Autumn.

Yesterday, paying a little visit to Mr Hooper I had the pleasure to find there as well my old friend Frank Carter (some of you saw him on the cover of SB 0!). When I met him, he was “just” a tattooer at Frith Street London, but he since became a superstar singer for a band called the Gallows. More than for his music that I must admit not being my “cup of tea”, I always had a big respect for Frank’s extremely good taste in tattooing. The ones he makes and the one he gets. On his head, Frank has an amazing snake by Ian Flower.

Often the only concern is perfection, unable to see the raw nature of the the act.
