HOTBLACK Video...

Here it is. The video you've all been waiting for. HOTBLACK's "Slip of the Skin”, starring: yours truly, Katie from Pulse, and our hot friends, Claudia and Mandy. I think Katie deserves an award for "best performance in a rock video". Check her out...

Nick Baxter Skull...

I collect skull tattoos. This one was done a few years ago by Nick Baxter when he was still at Transcend Tattoo in Branford, CT. Just felt like sharing...

Slipknot...

Last week I got to spend some much needed QT with the guys. Spent a few days on the bus, rocked a few shows, and had a few (too many?) drinks. It was an amazing time as usual. The unfortunate thing is that I didn't use my camera as much as I usually do. I did get a few good shots from the big show at Madison Square Garden though...

Tin-Tin Tatouages...

Two heavily tattooed ladies vacation together, on their itinerary? The best local shop, of course! We decided we needed a "bro tat" and we were going to Tin-Tin's to get it. We knew it was a long shot considering we were just going to walk in. Lucky for us, the shop's manager, Rachel is the nicest I've ever come across. Not only did she make sure we got a tattoo appointment for the following day, but she also checked the open hours at a few tourist spots we wanted to hit, and recommended some great restaurants. Thanks again, Rachel!

We loved the Pere Lachaise Cemetery, and found our tattoo inspiration there. This winged hour glass is at all of cemetery's entrances.
Our appointment was with Alex, and here he is working on our drawing.
Tin-Tin showed up when Alex was just about finished with my tattoo. What a character! He made a game of guessing who did all of our work, and got most of it right. He shared pictures of his recent work, and invited us upstairs to his work space for coffee and "smoke". I just had coffee. Ha. The whole staff was super accommodating and very friendly. We had a great time.

Tin-Tin hard at work.

Rachel & Tin-Tin. Smoke break.
