Bigger, better!
We listened to a home made medley of early 90′s and contemporary Rap laced with some rhythmic experimental music. And got drunk too. Some tattoos made by my friend Liam Sparkes also intended under the form of Jayne and her firend. B-girl Elena was also there with a fresh MB-made piece.

OK, Here I go again. Arnd Seibert was recently asking me about female tattoo artist, and I had to answer that the profession was still (unfortunately) generally male-dominated. What I forgot to mention to him though is that there fortunately are girls coming up with such a potential that this situation might very well change in the not-so-remote-future. You’ve already discovered Rachi, here is the young Valerie of Frith Street tattoo (see interview in the last issue of SB).Also see her web page.

Although she denies it, Mrs Sunday Luv is not only one of Berlin’s favourite entertainers, she also is very photogenic! And has a great back piece. And for those who still think that anyone with a swastika on them is a Nazi, check this out! and believe me, she really is not!

Usually, I don’t blog portfolios as such. But when I discovered Rachi Brains’ work in Tattoo Artist Magazine, and then had a look at her myspace page, I was really blown away. Especially because I had never heard of her before! (Perhaps due to her location: Brisbane, Australia) But something tells me that we’re gonna hear a lot more about her in the future!

Our friend and contributor, the gorgeous and ever-so-elegant Ellen von Unwerth, who recently broke her right wrist (unltimate bummer for a right-handed photographer!), took the opportunity to gain some non-permanent tats. Gotta take the good with the bad, init? ;)
