Tattoo message - in a bottle

-




Charlotte Lewis turned up at the Clifton Arts Club exhibition.  She is a classmate of Rob Martin, who is one of the club's leading lights and is an artist.  Rob took these photos for me.  Charlotte sported a neck tattoo with a story.

Her grandfather was a paratrooper in world war II and had been stationed in Palestine.  He was travelling to France by ship and decided to send a message to his wife.  He popped a written note into a bottle and threw it overboard.  It eventually was picked up in Northern Ireland..

The message was: "Take care of yourself for me.  Goodnight God Bless".  Charlotte was so taken by the romantic story that she's had it tattooed onto her.

She has eight other small tatoos discreetly placed, including one on the back of her neck.  Another is the Turkish flag.  She got drunk while on holiday in Turkey and woke up to find she had the national flag tattooed onto her hip.

My mind is focussed on just one kind of extreme body modification - heavy tattooing.  My body appearance has changed drastically in the past five years.

But what are other people's body modifications of choice?  One is  a practice known as "tight lacing", in which the users of corsets embark on reducing their waist sizes to as small at 17 or 18 inches, if they can.

It's not something that grabs me but Lacie here (www.staylace.com) has dedicated herself to the practice.  There are others like her who take it very seriously.  It's a fetish and not necessarily permanent.  If you give up regularly wearing this special kind of corset then you will eventually revert to normal.

I have no plans to embark on this myself, but before I pass any judgement must reflect that what I am doing to myself is even more extreme.  The images here are truly eye catching.  I have never knowingly met anyone who is into tight lacing yet there is a big community out there who do it.

Natasha Kai and sporting tattoos

There are all so many sports stars now with lots of ink.  I sometimes wonder when they get it all done given their rigorous training schedules and the need to be at the peak of fitness.  Natasha above has a great many tattoos for a young woman whose main engagement is being one of the very best footballers in the world.  She was a member of the USA's world champion team.

Much more common are tattooed footballer players, best known being David Beckham but there are many others you see with full sleeves, for example.

When Djibril Cisse (above) moved to QPR a few weeks ago his tattoos were very much in evidence.  These young men, with so much money to spare, spend a lot of cash on being highly fashionable.  Some impressive work on show here.
