I got my second tattoo done! Me and Silver spent last week scrambling to come up with perfect designs for ourselves. We went to Dave’s Tattoo here in Frankfurt and got appointments with G, who did an amazing job with my tattoo. I’m on cloud nine about it :) It turned out Silver couldn’t get a time for his tattoo for almost another month. Instead he photographed my whole session and even got some videos. They turned out awesome!

Presently I spend half my time staring at the tattoo mesmerized and the other half trying not to bang it into anything, which is hard since I’m as clumsy as Bambi on ice. I also need to keep it greased up for the time that it’s healing, which means going nowhere near the inking board for couple of weeks. My plan is to sketch out as many pages as I can and then ink them all in one go when the tattoo’s healed, that way hopefully I won’t fall behind my weekly quota too much:)

I recently came across an amazing fashion photographer: Ellen Rogers. Her photographs have an amazing quality of abstract, haunted moments, that made me fall in love with them immediately. She works only in analogue, even the colors are painted entirely by hand. Her book is on my shopping list now :)

Here are just a few examples of her work:
