Pin-up Day: Chubby Mummy

Before anyone gets all body-dysmorphia’d out, chubby mummy is just a cute title. I am in no way judging or making assumptions about this undead babe’s physique. (Her hair, however, is another story.)

Chad Koeplinger is on the move

It’s an understatement to say Chad Koeplinger has a busy summer planned. Starting July 1st, Chad will be tattooing at Tattoo Paradise in Washington DC. Chad will be at Tattoo Paradise for most of July before hitting the road.

Here’s what his calendar looks like from there:
July 28th to August 13th – Chapel Tattoo in Melbourne (Contact the shop for appointments.)
August 22nd to the 27th – Westside Tattoo in Brisbane (Contact the shop for appointments.)
August 29th – 31st – Unknown location in Syndey (E-mail chadontheroad@gmail.com for appointments.)
September 16th – 22nd – Frith Street Tattoo in London (Contact the shop for appointments.)
September 23rd – 26th – London Tattoo Convention in London (E-mail chadontheroad@gmail.com for appointments.)

I know there’s some gaps in there, but as of right now – that’s all we have. We’ll keep everyone updated when we get more info.

Lock and key

A year ago it seemed like everyone was rocking a lock and key tattoo… now they seem to be much fewer and far between. No complaints from me either way, as long as they’re as well-crafted as the tattoo below.

(Additionally, it seems Alison Manners is making her new home at Black Throne Tattoo. Methinks someone is probably taking new clients…)

WW: Only for the Brains

Kevin and I made a not-so-secret pact to quit posting links to tattooers’ Myspace accounts for reasons I’ll be going into in an upcoming post. BUT, as far as I know Rachi Brains does not exist in a social network sense outside of Myspace. It’d be seriously remiss on our part not to include Rachi in Women’s Week… good thing her shop has a Facebook, eh? ;)

Lady in red

…warpaint, that is.

*Note: probably best not to click on the shop website link unless you’re into men in thongs. You’ve been warned.

They call him “Crab Gut”

Some lucky son of a gun was able to get tattooed by Rachi Brains while she was in NYC at New York Adorned this month. Actually, I suspect it was more than just one person but my jealousy is so great that I have to lie to myself… just a little bit.

Hey Ratgirl

This is something fun and different for me. The rats on the lady below caught my eye. Seems they caught her eye, too… literally.
