Another White Palm

Cross-spectrum body modification artist Wayne Fredrickson of Zodiac Tattoo in Moreno Valley, CA — one of the few practitioners who’ve been featured here for tattoos (don’t miss that crazy link), piercing, and scarification — just posted a good example of how clean white tattoos often look, and how successfully they generally heal. It’s weird, even in these edumacaterd days, the urban myth persists that white ink tattoos are next-to-impossible to do, to keep from fading or changing color, or are even dangerous (someone emailed me just yesterday concerned because they’d been told that white ink is fundamentally toxic). In reality white ink is as non-toxic and inert as any modern tattoo pigment (that is, safe to tattoo with, but a carcinogen if you spend a decade snorting large quantities of the pure powder base), and appears to last better than most, resistant to fading and other discoloration. In addition, when you’re talking about white-only tattoos, I feel like there’s some trick-of-the-eye that makes them more “forgiving” — slight breaks and imperfections in the linework are less likely to be caught by the eye, which makes them ideal for work on the palm for example, a location where it can be difficult to get ink of any color to stay perfectly (something which the eye instantly picks up on in black ink).

In the example below, done on a palm (the location would have created more of a challenge than the choice of ink) you can see the tattoo progressing from fresh, to two weeks later, and finally to two months later. There’s no reason to believe that it will look nearly identical to that third shot two decades from now as well, although the lines may blur slightly due to the mechanics of skin. You may recall in November I actually posted a similar tattoo — click here to see a 13 year old white ink palm tattoo (that one is more yellow because of the pigmentation of the wearer’s skin, not because of its age). As usual, click the pic to zoom in.

Nasal Orbital

Ruslan, who has both large nostrils and a septum (which can function as a nasallang) just posted a unique looking picture of himself wearing a ring through them, making for a nasal orbital, a very unusual look. It instantly reminded me of another creative icon in this community — there’s a 2007 photo on ModBlog of Eaten Placenta wearing a similar configuration.

A turn for the worse

Something that often surprises people is just how quickly a trapped infection can move from nonexistent to serious. These cheek piercings were about two months old and by all appearance doing just fine, when the wearer decided to switch the jewelry. In the process, they somehow managed to drag bacteria into the still-healing fistula, probably bacteria that was on their hands. Within the week the piercings were seriously swollen or infected, so they headed to their doctor, who insisted that the piercings be removed and put her on antibiotics. This photo was taken when she got home from the doctor.

Mistake number one: Changing the jewelry in a still healing piercing without proper attention to contamination control. Be aware that cheek piercings often take a long time to heal, and perhaps more importantly, piercings of all types will appear healed long before they actually are healed (and even young technically healed piercings may have very thin skin, making them highly susceptible to injury). Ideally a piercing that’s still healing shouldn’t have its jewelry changed, but if it must, the jewelry needs to be sterilized and gloves and other appropriate cross-contamination must be in place. Whenever possible this should be done at a piercing studio — most will autoclave and change jewelry for a small reasonable charge, or even do it for free when you buy the jewelry.

Mistake number two: When a piercing is infected with significant amounts of swelling and discharge, the presence of jewelry is both good and bad. It’s bad because a foreign substance in a wound can greatly increase the population of bacteria by giving them a “foothold”, but it’s good because it can keep the wound open and is often the only thing keeping the infection from becoming an abscess. The piercing allows the wound to drain, as the antibiotics (or alternative treatments) work to eliminate the infection — saline soaks and other treatments can also work to draw out the discharge, but can only do so if the wound is open. Even if antibiotics eliminate the infection, you can still have serious complications if a large pocket of pus is trapped under the skin. For this reason I feel it’s important to always have someone familiar with the treatment of troubled piercings involved in such complications — doctors are notorious for making problems with piercings worse due to their unfamiliarity with them, even today. Any reputable piercer is always happy to take the time to look at a piercing having difficulty (whether they did the piercing or not) and give you advice on how best to treat it (and that advice in this case likely would have been “go to the doctor, but don’t let them take out the piercing”). Better yet, piercers, unlike doctors, rarely charge for this service in my experience — although you should always tip them!!!

Sure beats a tracheotomy!

Here’s a wonderful little story about the healing power of body piercing from Dion Jacobi at Modscene in Gladstone, QLD Australia (modscene.com.au). In this case I’m not talking about the oft-touted psychiatric or spiritual healing power of piercing, but something much more physical and literal.

Dion had a “young fella” about sixty years old come in, who after a failed nasal repair (centered on his right nostril) that was then made even worse by a blunt force trauma a month later, completely destroying what progress had been made, had been unable to breathe through his nostrils for the past fifteen years. As Dion says, “imagine what it would be like to have sleep apnea for a decade in a half, to not be able to do any major exercise, or to even eat and breathe at the same time.”

The guy decided that getting two large holes behind the collapsed passage might allow a little bit of air, so he went to Modscene to have them do a pair of 2ga nostril punches. What Dion found he was working around was as if someone had cut away the front portion of the septum, causing the tip of the nose to collapse in to the philtrum area, blocking airflow — the only way the guy could breathe through his nose was to physically push up the entire tip to open the airway. After the first hole was made, it was clear it was going to work, and after the second one was done — there were some unavoidable symmetry issues due to the extent and unevenness of the existing damage — he was, for the first time in a fifteen years allowed the use of his nasal passages.

“He left with the biggest grin,” Dion Says. “This is why I love my job!”

Cammy Stewart Interview

Cammy Stewart, whose work has been featured on ModBlog in the past, is a Dundee, Scotland based tattoo artist who started like most do — self-taught, tattooing anything they could on anyone they could find — but had an epiphany when he met neotribal, blackwork, and sacred geometry tattooing pioneer Xed LeHead at London’s Divine Canvas. He began merging this new style and philosophy of tattooing into his own, and became a part of what began with the idiosyncratic style of a small handful of outsider tattoo artists and has become a full-on art movement. Find Cammy at Metalurgey in Dundee, Scotland, online at facebook/cammystewart or instagram/cammytattoo, or email him at cammytattoo@hotmail.co.uk.

* How do you create the designs in your tattooing?

I design all pattern work I use for tattooing on Photoshop. Sometimes I draw sections by hand on paper, scan them, and then replicate or manipulate them using the computer until I’m happy with them. Any other drawing or layout for the tattoo is usually drawn directly on to the skin with a selection of pens until it is clean and easy to follow.

* Does the core of the design tend to come from you or from the client?

I like my clients to come in with a rough idea and let me do my own thing with it. The only time I like to have full creative control over a tattoo is when I either know the customer well and they trust me fully, or I get a vibe from them that they are open minded and genuinely don’t mind what I do.

People always say, “do whatever you want,” but I know deep down they don’t really mean it. If the client has existing tattoos that I have to work around or cover up this will also have a massive impact on the final design. I try to use this to my advantage and let it help with the shape, and the shape of the clients body can also influence what kind of design I use or how I place it.

In my opinion the body should be treated as a whole when possible. The un-tattooed space is as important as the tattooed space — how it fits, how it flows, how it becomes a part of the wearer and looks natural on them…

* Do you have a library of artwork that you do in advance and then look for clients for, or is it all drawn for the specific person?

I design everything for the client, and most of the decisions for the final design are done on the day. I don’t like knowing exactly what I’m going to do in advance as I feel this isn’t really the most creative approach — I like to work in the moment, for my life on that day to influence how I go about coming up with the design. It feels raw, and that’s what I get a buzz from.

I do make patterns and designs and keep them in folders on the computer for possible future use, and I also collect things I find that look interesting from books or online that I feel might be helpful for ideas or for reworking in Photoshop at a later date.

* Maybe a silly question, but why do you use almost exclusively red and black? It seems a common palette for this style in general.

The reason I choose red and black is because it is a striking combination — bold and raw, and it works well on the skin. No other colours have the same power for me. I’m not sure why they are popular as a whole though. I imagine for the same reasons that I’ve just described…

* How do you introduce individuality into designs that by their nature are somewhat repetitive?

Every day is like reinventing the wheel. People see my work and all want similar things done, but I try to persuade them that they should look beyond my previous work and do their own thing to something that will suit them — obviously I have my favourite patterns and motifs but I try not to overuse them.

* What do you draw influence from as an artist?

I draw influence from everything — my family, my friends, day to day life, emotions from within myself and people I respect within the tattoo industry. I don’t really look at tattoo magazines these days and I try not to look at too much tattoo work online as I don’t want to draw to much from other peoples work. I’d much rather look at books on graphics, street art, and so on to keep my work is as original as possible and not have it be a copy of other artists’ work…

* What would you say to the criticism that geometric tattoos are, while technically advanced, are devoid of a certain artistry?

Art to me is a raw expression of ones self, a tool to communicate with people without language… and mostly something that makes people talk, so whether you like something or hate something, as long as you want to discuss it and it makes you think, then it has much artistry as a portrait or any other kind of tattoo. And really, “what is art?”

* How did you learn and mature as an artist?

It’s been a very long drawn out process. My background was in graffiti art so that obviously has has a big influence on the tattooing I am currently doing. However, when I started tattooing I didn’t have a clue about anything. I am self taught, so the first few years I was just learning the technical aspects through trial and error — I was tattooing whatever came my way really, wanting as much skin as possible to get better.

The biggest turning point for me was meeting my now good friend Xed LeHead from Divine Canvas. As he tattooed my face and head, I remember him saying, “you wear the sacred geometry, so why not take this path and explore it for yourself?”

It just seemed like the right thing to do as I had so much respect and admiration for his work and his take on tattooing and life in general. I felt at home around him and all of the wonderful people working alongside each other at his studio. He shared everything with me –machine knowledge, patterns, tattooing techniques, Photoshop use… the lot! It got me started with this form of art, and gradually, as I got more confident I put my own twist on it and used my own art background to help me develop further… I don’t feel this process will ever stop, and if it does I’ll stop tattooing.

* Is it frustrating being seen as specializing in a specific style, or does that help you push it further than you could if you were a more “general purpose” tattoo artist?

I much prefer working in only one or two styles. I don’t feel you can be really good at everything — it’s impossible to be great at every style. I’d rather concentrate my brain on one thing and be the best I can be at it than be OK at many styles while never really excelling at any of them. Being an all rounder was never really my thing.

I also feel its easier for people to remember you and your work if you work within only one or two styles — it makes your work instantly recognizable. You could compare it to marketing a brand of anything. When I was still doing other styles, but was already changing from doing a bit of everything to specializing in one style, I felt it a good idea only to display in my portfolio the work I wanted people to come to me for rather than everything I’d done, so that in time people would know and accept that this is what I do.

* How do you see you style evolving from where it is now?

The work will evolve as the customers evolve. Without people I am nothing. What I’ve been starting to find is, as more people see my work they are keener to give me larger spaces to work on and I have more freedom with design. Everything I do inside and outside tattooing helps me grow and evolve. Also, as equipment gets better it can make tattooing more fluid and allow me to cover more area more efficiently. Long term I would like to work on larger projects rather than small tattoos, but this will only happen when the time is right.

I think geometric/blackwork/abstract work will continue to grow as new artists enter this world and do their own take on it — the possibilities of it are endless with people who are prepared to take risks and push the boundaries of modern tattooing, ignoring all the conventional rules and thinking outside the box…

I just like to tattoo and want my customers to be happy with the final outcome… I want to make images that people remember and that fit the body well.

Scarlett Johansson shows off lucky Horseshoe Tattoo

Actress Scarlett Johansson is totally smitten by her new found love. Seems the petite beauty is all over in love with her new horse shoe tattoo. Not only is she in love with it, she feels that tattoo is her lucky charm kind of sorts. The Hollywood actress is so much excited about this tattoo of hers that she lifted her top in full public view on the street just to show the tattoo. This act of hers must have surely shocked the pedestrians passing by. But does she care? It does not seem so.

All about the Horse Shoe Tattoo

The shocking act of the actress lifting her top on the streets of Paris gave photographers a full and close view of her lucky horse shoe tattoo. But from the review it seems it is not a very fine piece of art. The tattoo seems to be quite wanky and not at all symmetrical. The writing is quite messy and seems as if a child in nursery has written it. It is indeed, quite unruly. No matter what ever the reviews the actress it seems is feeling quite lucky after having the tattoo inked. The tattoo even reads ‘Lucky you’. It’s surprising as to why and how the tattoo has such an unfinished and asymmetric look. The tattoo was designed and personally executed by renowned French Graffitist and tattoo artist Fuzi Uvtpk. Scarlett visited the artist’s exhibition on her visit to Paris. She so much liked his work that she immediately decided to get inked.  She requested Fuzi to create a body art for her after visiting the exhibition.

It seems this beautiful actress has a fetish for tattoos. It is not the first time that the actress has gone under the needle for a body art job. Interestingly, this is the fourth tattoo she has got inked on her body. She already has 3 body arts inked on different areas of her body. The actress has a landscaped tattoo on her arm. There is an ‘A’ written on her ankle. And the finale is the one on her wrist; she has ‘I Heart New York’ inked on her wrist. It seems the actress love for tattoos is just unending. This is one girl who is a true Hollywood celebrity and fashionista. What else otherwise could explain her love for tattoos and getting inked so often?

Romney Tattoo No Cause for Regret

Supporting the losing side in the race for political ascendency may seem to be hard enough, but a certain supporter of US Governor, Mitt Romney, boasts of a permanent reminder of the unsuccessful presidential bid of the Republican.

Eric Hartsburg seems to have made headlines for all the wrong reasons. The Indiana resident in a show of loyalty went out and got the logo for the Romney campaign tattooed right on his face.

In spite of the loss of Romney in the US presidential elections some weeks ago, Hartsburg claims that he has no regret. In an interview with politico.com, the 30 year year-old Hartsburg stated that he was a tattoo enthusiast. The experience, according to him, was nothing short of fun.

Tale behind the Tattoo

Hartsburg was very clear in expressing his motives – he was just attempting to add a bit of fun to politics. He had no intention of changing lives. He has no intention of being a hero; however, he shed his blood for the sake of the campaign and simply knowing that he did everything he could to make the campaign a success makes him very happy.

The tattoo was definitely a surprise for members of his family. The professional wrestler was careful not to make any mention about the tattoo to his wife, another Romney supporter, until he had about an hour left to get it done. Hartsburg admits that she was taken aback by the idea from the get go. But, Hartsburg gained support from unlikely quarters – his 15 year-old son. It appears that the cool idea of getting a tattoo done on the face appealed to the young boy.

Dealing with Defeat

Hartsburg does not make any attempts to hide the fact that the defeat of Romney at the hands of incumbent President, Obama, left him extremely disappointed. Hartsburg jokes that he was the guy who had egg all over his face. Only, instead of egg, it happened to be a large Ryan/Romney tattoo. The tattoo will remain inked on his face for life.

The Republican held hopes that the tattoo would lose its relevancy only after a period of four years had passed. But he is quick to claim that he will not be either removing or covering up the tattoo, which he calls the “R masterpiece”, etched onto his face.

Hartsburg has reason to believe that the tattoo may come in handy in another four years when Marco Rubin will run for presidency in 2016.

Justin Beiber Shows off his Tattoo in a Stage Performance

Getting inked has been in vogue for the time immemorial. People in early days tattooed the symbol of their tribe, their cast or their profession and sometimes their own names on their arms. But those days are passé. Now getting tattooed and showing it off is in vogue for a different kind of reason- because it is in vogue. We know it’s difficult to understand; but let’s put it this way-today getting inked is more out of fashion rather than practicality. And Justin, our own Boyfriend singer Justin Bieber has fallen for the fashion trend.

All the celebrities have taught us how. From all the stars that we idolize – Angelina Jolie to Rihana, they all have their bodies inked at visible or sometimes not so visible places with words, phrases and symbols that stand for something in their life. Those words could inspire them, remind them of something or someone or simply tell them who they are.

The tattoo shows the bird of the night

And the newest member to jump on this bandwagon is the teenage singing sensation Justin Bieber. Let’s not delve into the meaning of the tattoo right now and break our heads against the wall trying to assume, brainstorm or rule out what it could possibly stand for in his life. It might stand for his girlfriends’ favorite pet and we wouldn’t want to wander our focus from the point, or would we? But that’s another story that may come out in some time from now. What the current substantial news for the diehard beiber fans is that he has got himself inked, right on his forearm.

He finds a way to show it off, without going overboard

The tattoo is placed on his left forearm, shows an owl and a big one at that. It is shaded in black and grey and has been magnificently worked upon. If you all fans could reflect back a little, he had posted a sneak peak of his tattoo on Instagram a few days back. The finished artwork of the tattoo was in full display in a concert during his tour Believe in Texas only last week. He wore sleeveless white hoody and white trousers for his stage performance. He completed the look with a fingerless gold glove and kept his dark shades on against the harsh lights. He proudly showed off his newest acquisition for all the fans to see and if we might add, that keeps him nicely aligned with all other fashion forward celebrities of the tinsel town.

Tattoo Artists Use Skin-Coloured Ink to Hide Scars

Tattoos existence is almost as old as the civilization itself. Earlier it was used as a way to segregate different tiers of the society or identify criminals. In the modern world tattoo is more of a style statement. Tattoos have gained popularity the world over like never before and most of the celebrities love to flaunt tattoos on various visible and not so visible parts of the body. For the present generation getting a tattoo done is more about being fashionable and a style statement of sorts. Be it India or abroad tattoos have been around as a popular fashion statement for almost a decade now and the popularity only seems to grow bigger by the day.

Tattoo’s used as a Cosmetic

Well it is strange but true. There are many people out there who want to get tattooed but do not want it to be visible. Before you get more confused, let me clarify the air. Many people are really not into getting a tattoo made. But the modern advanced tattoo technology helps these people hide scars that have been there because of an accident or a surgery. Interestingly, there seems to be a skin coloured tattoo ink. It’s believed by those who love tattoo art that tattoo is a unique thing and someone having one is equally unique. However, there are some who get tattoos done to hide scars. These are usually skin coloured tattoos which are not visible and are more popularly known as ‘Medical Tattoos’.

Medical Tattoos a solution to Cosmetic Problems

These medical tattoos are basically made using permanent cosmetic pigment and not actual tattoo ink. The nearest camouflaged colour is mixed to blend with the skin colour and texture. This is then applied on the area where the skin is under pigmented or has lost its colour. Besides, these medical tattoos help deal with a whole lot of cosmetic problems.

• It is used by many to cover up scars that have developed in the exposed parts of the body due to an accident or a surgery.


• It is also helpful in blending skin areas that have been discoloured because of vitiligo.


• They also used to replace eyebrows and lashes lost due to alopecia.


• These tattoos can also be used to modify parts of the body that have been damaged due to cancer.

Tattoos which are done to recreate parts of the body lost during cancer treatments are reconstructive in nature. A regular follow up needs to be done.

Facebook Tattoo Results Jail

Gang Member Uploads Tat Pic on Facebook, Lands in Jail

A Facebook post with a graphic tattoo aimed at a police officer in Minneapolis has landed a man from St. Louis in jail. The attorney at Hennepin County pressed charges that the tattoo put by Antonio Frasion Jenkins Jr. on his arm and on Facebook was part of a terroristic threat against the Minneapolis officer.

The charges were contested by the executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota, Chuck Samuelson. He claimed that in the United States of America, they have a Bill of Rights, which often proves to be messy. Samuelson claimed that while the images are clearly disturbing and disgusting, they cannot be considered criminal.

Charge Details

According to the criminal complaint, the tattoo inked on the left bicep of Jenkins portrays a man armed with a semi-automatic handgun, with the barrel of the gun partially inside the mouth of a pig. The tattoo includes the misspelled name of the officer along with his badge number. An expletive meant for the police is included within the artwork. Jenkins’ page on Facebook includes a post carrying a message on the tattoo that reads: “My tattoo iz a pig get’n his brains blew out”. The criminal complaint states that 18 persons gave a “like” or “thumbs-up” response to the post.

The complaint revealed that the 22-year veteran police member happens to be a member of the gang investigation team centered around the Third Precinct, a portion of the city that comprises of territory claimed by the Bloods for the sake of tradition. The officer saw the post on Facebook on the 30^th of October and considered it to be a direct threat against his life. Additionally, the complaint claims that his family is in fear.

Implication: Prior Misdeeds

Jenkins has been charged with terroristic threats which carries a penalty of almost 5 years in prison along with a fine of up to $10,000.

Police halted Jenkins on Monday and witnessed the tattoo posted on Facebook. As per the complaint, Jenkins admitted to the police that he was furious with the officer for an incident that took place back in the month of August. The incident details are not clear. The complaint mentions a separate incident that occurred on the 30^th of September where graffiti was found inside an apartment normally used by the Blood street gang members. The graffiti uses an indecent expletive prior to the name of the officer. Jenkins had apparently bragged about his tattoo to another gang member via prison phone call.
