You can frown upon, you can criticize, you can judge but it only means one thing – one way or another you care! An interesting photo exhibit showing the work of Benoit Meeus in one of the corners of the world!

intact
unpierced ears – and that is actually both unusual and absurd – a nice example how you can come up with something quite interesting and yet totally pointless! 😉
how to …
to all of you out there aspiring to become a tattoo artist or a body piercer!

body as a tool of protest
It’s not new, of course, and using one’s body to protest against political systems can go way farther but this one is interesting in so many ways! Thanks to Bastian for sharing the link about Pjotr Pawlenski and his protest/ performance!
Henk Schiffmacher’s book
Cool news – Henk Schiffmacher wrote a book about his tattoos. Let’s see if I’m able to get it in my hands somehow!
Edited: more info here!

a nice slide show of fantasy tattoos from Germany.
The real world, however, is not a fantasy land, so no wonder that some of us need to accomodate our looks to others’ expectations: ear lobe reconstruction, sad but true!
tiny, tasteful, korean
Interesting examples of tiny and cute tattoos from Korea. Soemthing serious along the legal lines as South Korea debates legalizing tattoos.

let’s slowly start getting excited about some best time of the year! some of these tattoos are so so while others surprise with simplicity and some originality.
tattoo symbols – southern cross
Interesting thoughts on the southern cross symbol and how it is perceived; tattoo background present, of course!
i will always … have you
A nice article on BBC website about a tattoo project in Bristol. Tattoos and stories behind them are recorded digitally to show the local tattoo community. Maybe it’s cliche and old but who cares when behind every body there really is a cool history?
