This was my second time at the London International Tattoo convention.  I like the fact I can go on a Friday.  Here are a few of the people I met and chatted to.

It seemed a little quieter than last year but still great.  It felt like the majority of the people I met were from outside the UK or non-British and so it was with the tattooists.  In every way the convention lived up to its name.

An overlap between my tattoo blog and my transition.

This is how I look after being on hormone treatment for 18 months and after two lots of facial feminisation surgery.  I have also had a lot of electrolysis on my beard.  I have been transformed.  And there is still quite a way to go yet. You can see some of my tattoos peeping out from the top of my dress.  It seems evident now that my quest for a full body suit is linked to my gender dysphoria.  I am not trying to suggest that everyone who gets a body suit suffer from dysphoria.  Not at all.  But in my case I think it is just one of a number of things I had been doing to change my appearance completely. Now my focus on being tattooed has dissipated as I continue my transition with my mind devoted now on my gender reassignment surgery scheduled for August of this year, 2020.  Once my transition is finished then I must finish the work currently in progress on my legs. You can follow my transition via my YouTube videos.  Just search for Zoë Genevieve Perry.

Tight lacing - an extreme body modification

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.
