This weekend, SB contributor Estevan Oriol was in Rome in order to launch his new book, L-A WOMAN, published by Drago.

Below, during our visit of in the Chiesa di Sant’Ignazio di Loyola a Campo Marzio, which is a Roman Catholic titular church dedicated to Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit order.

I was looking for swallows. Elisa arrived:

‘I’ve done this in april 09 (spring time) and it was 9 years since I got tattooed last time. I got a sacred heart above the swallow and two dark red lines behind my left arm.
Well, as I like original subjects, the swallow was perfect for me: it represents a life of travelling (I am not able to stay in one place) but, as we all know, coming back home and seeing that land is near. it symbolizes home and family in some ways. I also acquired the meaning of the spring, I always have a rebirth in the springtime, after the decadent winters. So it is a sign of renewal. Under the swallow I’ve wanted some dices counting 13, and it’s kind of redundance casue 13 the word “lucky” have the same meaning. lets’ say that with them I wanna remind myself how lucky I am, and catch some more! I’m not a gambler, but I always play the last trump in life, as I always try the situations that inspires me’.

(people like bailey make me think—more than any “art fusion”—that tattoo has finally found its place among fine arts.

Thomas once told me that it’d be nice to see more tattoos on film, as opposed to the very partial photographic view. I immediately knew he was right. Here is a recent piece I found on his page, as a pretty efficient demonstration of it.

As I forgot my usb cable, you will have to wait to see my pictures of the last shows I attended to. But in the meanwhile, let me introduce you to two fantastic people: Dora & Ansen. “Delicious” Dora Wilkenfeld, as you might have noticed is our new blog family member and has already posted three very interesting and on point articles. She also runs her own page: “Hammer of the Witches”. Welcome Dora! Ansen is an american photographer who makes beautiful images that perfectly embody (pun intended) the Sang bleu spirit.

I already had the Tshirt. Totally impressive. White on dark gray cloth. But the hoodies is seriously sick. So I just ordered mine from the Shirts and Destroy online store. (another thing i do on restless nights… online shopping!)
