24 hours in london featuring (randomly)

—an unexpected procedure at take off
—”a” book at ln-cc
—Liam Sparkes tattooing Nathini’s palm (do you dig these fluo tones my iphone seems to find in anyone’s or anything’s appearance?)
—and Becca’s deer tattooed by Liam too
—JSR’s new Rick Owens shoes staring at me this morning <3

William Lasker is a third of infamous mid-west band SALEM. He also has a scheme for his tattoos. Hand-poked the Mickey Mouse himself. Realized he couldn’t reach far enough to finish it. This is a good story.

Guy le Tatooerdoes nice tattoos. I had already seen some of his stuff in his book at Tribal Act Paris, but his newly opened blog takes it to an other level. Somewhere between a now established french “graphic/comic” “school” and the Hooperian anglo-saxon avant-garde (but you can’t blame him for having good tastes can you?), Guy does bring a pleasingly personal take on contemporary tattooing.

Not the one he gets, but the ones he makes.
What makes a good tattooer anyway? Some skills and to fundamentally not give a fuck.
Chad Koeplinger is the man.

Boris Bijan Saberi gets tattooed based on a very precise scheme. And always set in Gill Sans.

Check out the great website of our dear friend from Lausanne, a young and talented mulifaceted artist who in that case, goes by the sweet name of PHACOCHERE:
