    Not many people can claim their Grandma was a Pin-Up Girl. Fewer have proof .

    -I used to be a tattoo artist before I started modelling. All of my work was done before I was 19. I did the first one on my stomach.

    -Are you getting more?

    -I’m done. I’m starting to do some acting so I’m going in the opposite direction. Some laser treatment, who knows.. Maybe.

    -I hope not. Is that your real name?

    -Yup.

  3. Kelley & Joey

    It was done by Ariel who works at Monsters Ink in Stony Point New York. I got the the tatt in memory of my younger brother Joey who passed away when he was 2 from drowning. I got it so his memory will always be with me everywhere I go in memory and on my skin. I loved him dearly. The rose is a symbol of his life. Roses are the most beautiful flower but have short lives. With this tatt I can pass along his memory to everyone

    Kelley is with M&P London

  6. raw power

    For the upcoming double-300-page-volume upcoming fifth issue of sang bleu, Alex Binnie—whom I consider a kind of spiritual guide—wrote me a stunning essay on the power of tattooing. “Raw Power” it is entitled. To illustrate it our Adrian Wilson shot a series of people tattooed by Into You’s Thomas Thomas. :)
