By Rene La Chatte. Another photograph featured in next Wednesday’s show

Rene was born in Heidleberg in 1984 and describes Fatty as ‘a true gentleman, who has worked as a roadie for decades for some of the most successful artists in the world. A gentle caring debauched beast whose life is coloured with tales that excite, amaze, scare and surprise’. Fatty’s tattoo was started by someone and finished by someone else. When I know who, I’ll tell

your friends look flipping great

Despite the demeanor of a drummer with 8 hours off in a liberal foreign town, Jan Schjetne is one industrious dude. Co-founder of Phiary, Porn&Beauty blogger, & committed lover are just a few of the roles that keep this man out of more trouble than he already inherits.

‘I’m not afraid to admit that the base for this tattoo is quite influenced by a tattoo design I saw in a book about Russian prison tattoos. A bit of a risky admission, as my tattoo artist friend made sure to inform me that undeserved Russian prison tattoos can result in a death sentence in certain environments. But I changed it around and made it my own. The “Death Boogie” is a philosophy I’ve lived by for years. Without getting too much into it I’ll say that it reminds me that life is fragile and I should make the best of it while I can’.

Tattoo artist: Bjørn Egil Ragnarsen, Lillehammer, Norway

His friend Danielle will be back here by herself very soon..

I met Madame Michèle Lamy at the Rick Owens headquarter on a ridiculously hot day. Models were running in and out of the place as the show was 28 hours ahead and the casting was taking place on that same day. In this chaos, there still seemed to exist a few cube meters of peace and reason located in the little backyard/terrace of the HQ. We discussed about the time when she got her fingers tattooed, the same time back when tattooing hands was still illegal in certain american states. We also chatted about publishing during recession times and the quest of Substance. Then I left, inspired and serene.

I can hardly resist posting everything I have tonight, right awayI But I won’t. Hehe.

“I am Mattia Rinaudo. I am Italian and a blank canvas for creativity. I’ve loved tattoo’s since i was young. They attract attention and conversation. They have no specific reason other than coloring my life and bringing beauty. I’ve collected them from friends and my travels around the world including London, Brazil, Italy, South Africa – 5 different artist in total. I got the first tattoo at the age of 16 on my thigh, Chinese symbols, it was the easiest to hide from parents. As my passion grew the tattoos expanded all over my body and I’m nowhere near finished.”

Jeffrey has been consistently and faithfully sending me images and contributing to sang bleu since day one. I still owe Benedetta Rossi for introducing us.
