Our friend, (pretty photogenic) tattoo artist Laurent Maina recently got this amazing headpiece by superstar, tattoo-pioneer Xed. Here he is just outside Rinzing’s Sacred Yantra studio in Lausanne.

our friend Jondix’s blog is beyond. Just beyond.

Nice little surprise while flipping through the pages of the infamous Girls Like Us magazine’s last issue: a paper on our friend Jessica Silverman, and on her desktop: Sang Bleu issue 3-4! (And subtly appearing at the edge of the images, Fuzi’s “Only Girls Can Judge Me” tattoo flash (that I happen to have tattooed on my left foot!). I love that!

Thanx to those who commented and reminded me Nathan’s name. So, yes, the man with Hooper head piece is Nathan Kostechko. Very nice and friendly dude. We’re gonna hook up next time I’m in LA. He makes beautiful strange tattoos.

Found Cris Anthon’s very good work on the very good Swallows & Daggers. Check him out!

Some pretty sick updates on Thomas’ tattoo page. No comments needed.
