A Druid's tattoos

-














Adrian is a big man and of my friends in Bristol the only person who has just about as much ink as I have - maybe more.  His legs are covered and there's quite a bit of stuff elsewhere.  All of them appear to be influenced by his beliefs.  He even had some druid symbols tattooed over his already completed leg piece.

I had planned to get more information from him about his tattooist and the sequence of his tattoos but haven't yet done so.  That will follow.

He and I were at a convention at the Costa Brava earlier this month and it's at the hotel I took these photos.

Tight lacing - an extreme body modification

-
Image
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.

Pubic tattoo

The work in my groin and pubic area has been completed.  Years ago Louis Molloy did the central figure in this picture but avoided going all the way.  Now Ben has tattooed a circle of clouds all around the image that goes as far as it can without inking my genitalia.  This completes the work on my torso. Added to that Ben has worked some hair detail on a much older art nouveau image originally tattooed in the nineties.  Months ago Ben covered the black hair with brown.  Today he gave the hair some texture. To mark the end of this phase Ben took some pictures of my whole body.

Head tattoo

-

Jamie Wintle is from Brislington in Bristol and had just had his new head tattoo done at Avon Tattoo by Jordan Ferris.  https://www.facebook.com/JordanFerrisTattoo/ He'd been planning it for a while and Jordan found the script he was looking for and it was completed in three hours.  In the next few weeks he'll get the other side of his head done. Jamie works at a car body shop so it's no problem getting visible tattoos. He was with Jodie.  They have been a couple for a year.  Tattoos helped attract him to her.  Being together encourages her to get more ink, knowing he will like it.  He even encourages her.  She is busy getting her arms done by Dave Middleton at Somerton near Glastonbury.  https://www.facebook.com/unit2tattoo/ So they are getting tattooed together and seemingly getting their hair styles together.  Let's hope their compatibility keeps them together.
