But in the meanwhile, let me introduce you to Nick who is Men’s Fashion Director for Bergdorf Goodman, NY. Hard not to notice the very stylish and colorful Nick outside of a fashion show. His beautiful tattoos (executed by our friend Shinji of NYadorned and Dave Davenport in Los Angeles). I have rarely seen people play that nicely with the colorways of their tats and their outfit. And additionally, he is a warm and friendly person.Great encounter.

Dancing, he sustains its manifold phenomena. In the fulness of time, still dancing, he destroys all forms and names by fire and gives new rest. This is poetry; but none the less, science.”

Coomaraswamy, Ananda, “The Dance of Shiva; fourteen Indian Essays”, 1970, Munshiram Manoharlal Publishers, New Dehli.

The focus will lie on the technical aspects of Japanese Rope Bondage and on how to tie, untie and suspend a person. She says “By clearly engaging in the technique we will try to raise our technical levels and see how they can be combined. On a long run, we could think of a staged group situation besides the individual games.”

the name of the tattooer is not disclosed… does anyone know?
for reminder, Mr Pilati displayed—in the issue of Fantastic man that was dedicated to him—a beautiful rose tattoo which is still vaguely perceivable in the japanese sleeve showed here.

Not even is this one beautiful but, it is largely one of the most impressive as far as is concerned the impact on the body and the visual impression that it provides as a whole. Tyson says he has more than 80 artists on his body. I can believe this. I took as many pictures I could until my eyes rolled back and my head started spinning from this psychedelic rave. Tyson kindly accepted to write all the artists who appear in my pix. Appreciated.

Tyson currently works in Sweden in Theo Jack’s studio: Infamous Tattoo Studio.
