Knowledge is Power
If you read this blog often, you’ll know how much I hate Facebook. One thing I always see on the rare occasions I log in is at least one picture of a terrible tattoo, normally captioned with the words “my next tattoo”, or some stupid crap like that. It reminds me why I hate people. … Read more
Aeons-Tulpa – A Jondix Exhibit
Emily at Raking Lights projects emailed me the other day with a really awesome new exhibit by Jondix. His solo installation will be in Against the Stream Buddhist Meditation Society in LA, which is a really cool place for him to showcase his work, considering his preference for Buddhist iconography. The installation, called Aeons-Tulpa, will … Read more

UK Top Tattoo Artists: Removed?!
I won’t lie; I hate Facebook. Any of you guys who follow us on our Facebook page can probably tell, because I always avoid updating it (sorry about that). However, it has its uses, and one of those uses was always wasting a few minutes having a look at the UK Top Tattoo Artists page … Read more

A lot of you may already know this, however it’s with regret that I have to inform the rest of you about the sad news of BME’s Shannon Larratt’s passing this weekend.

Ian Parkin: Globetrotter!
