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 …

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.

Interesting thoughts on the southern cross symbol and how it is perceived; tattoo background present, of course!
