With such a name, Linn Heidi should be swiss I guess but instead, she is a very good photographer from Norway. No doubt she is much better off like this!

Here she shot Izzy, currently apprenticing at Lowlife Tattoo, in Trondheim, Norway. More to come!

Probably the most iconic image associated with Bradford City is the City Gent character introduced in 1966 at a time when English football clubs attempted to emulate the example of World Cup Willie and launched their own characters to present a more modern face to the sport. In the case of Bradford City, the City Gent was a cartoon of then chairman Stafford Heginbotham.
For the generation of supporters who followed the club between 1966 and 1974 the City Gent character had a great appeal and was THE choice of tattoo on the Valley Parade terraces for much of the seventies. There was a story that a certain tattooist on Manchester Road ‘did the best City Gent’ and certainly, as I recall from a fair number of dubious versions, not all tattooists could do justice to the original.
Since then it would appear that the club crest has assumed a comparable level of popularity, if not become the prime choice. Having never had a tattoo I won’t pretend to be an expert but my own choice would have been a City Gent on the forearm. In my view this would have been eminently preferable to resorting simply to B-C-F-C (although I recall a fair number of such examples on knuckles!).

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.

‘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‘
