There’s still bad news coming from Japan but it’s pretty uplifting to see how people all around the world are organizing help for the Japanese. Here two nice examples of the modified charity: ‘pierce-a-thon’ and ‘tattoos for Japan.’
A documentary ‘Tattoo Jew,’ previously mentioned in this post, finally moved to the screening phase (here’s the website of the project). Hopefully it’ll be available to purchase somewhere online as I’d love to see it.
Local artists: ‘inked in to a new life’ and a tattoo apprentice about her learning process.
Museums and tattoos: an idea for a museum called International Lyle Tuttle Museum and a museum exhibit ‘body beautiful. ‘
What the placement of your tattoo say about you? If you believe in such things, check this one out.
An article about suspension, brought to me and you by Bastian, of course (whose love for and obsession with hooks is pretty well-known ;)).
Finally a nicely morbid eye candy: Zombie Boy in Mugler’s new ad campaign and he’s looking really good!

He’s hot, even before he was tattooed.
I love how they’re taking modeling to a whole new level using less conventional means to hawk their merchandise.
I don’t think they’re taking modelling to a new level (if so, they’d use bigger size models, generic-looking people, stopfooling around with photoshop and ‘fixing’ everything to make it look fakely perfect) and the fact that Gaga is in it, shows that’s what they want is just noise and commotion around it.
But I do hope that Zombie Boy will take as much as he can from it and exploit them as much as they’re using him right now!
These new ad pics are very nice, though!
what, me and obsessed? Can’t be!
I do agree with you, modeling will always be photo shopped, fake… We could both go on.
However, how often do you see someone that’s that tattooed? That’s what I like. It’s not some cheesy ass tribal piece on a pretty boy’s bicep 🙂
As for lady gag me, well he’s in her video and that’s awesome for him! From homeless on the streets of Montreal to international super-stardom. It goes both ways, he could have said no right?
