Office space

The good news: it looks like we're moving after all.
I know, i didn't really keep you up to date on the moving business, so you may have missed the part where we were sure it wasn't gonna happen, but it's back on.
I don't wanna go "YAY" just yet, but it's looking good.

The bad news: i didn't buy this desk for my new office when i had the chance, and now i can't find another one like it.

It wasn't in the best condition, but still, so awesome

Look, the other side has shelves and a secret compartment

So, if there are any collectors of mid-century Danish design furniture out there who needs to clear out their basements, i'll take a desk!

Body Piercing Aftercare

Proper Body Piercing Aftercare


By Sarah Freeland




Body Piercing Aftercare should be taken as seriously as tattoo aftercare. Your body piercing aftercare will require some commitment, if you loose your monitor, you can cause serious infection and the need to remove the jewelry. Most piercers, tattoo artists will give as an aftercare kit, or offer more products you buy.




Most piercers now offer a product called H2Ocean, it is sterile and environmentally safe. It comes in paste form for tattoo aftercare, and as a spray to penetrate. The items you will need are as follows:




* H2Ocean, or other antimicrobial agents approved liquid soap anti-bacterial (Again, do not use Dial or Neosporin as they may be too hard)




* Cotton balls or cotton swabs


* Small disposable cups


* Paper towels or a clean towel




When cleaning your body piercing aftercare, you first have to wash your hands thoroughly (2 minutes), never touching your body piercing aftercare or jewelry with dirty hands. You'll need to saturate the area with H2Ocean piercing, if you use soap you should saturate the cotton pad, or hot water tank. Gently wipe all traces of dried blood, or plasma that has gathered around the body piercing aftercare. You must then move gently piercing the front and rear to ensure it is properly cleaned. Rinse the surface of any soap, then dry with paper towel or a soft, clean towel.




Often, your piercer will tell you to soak your body piercing aftercare in sea salt. Place a small amount of sea salt in the bottom of a disposable cup. About ½ teaspoon. Then add hot water as hot as you can possibly stand on salt. You want to fill just over half full in a 5-ounce cup you want to reverse the cut right over the body piercing aftercare and keep it there for five to six minutes. This procedure generally works well for drilling, such as nipple and navel. If you are unable to obtain a good seal around the skin, soak a cotton ball with H2Ocean and keep it there for 5 minutes. Rinse the body piercing aftercare with warm water and pat dry. DO NOT USE TABLE SALT!

All I Want for Christmas is a Tattoo with Teeth

On Christmas Eve afternoon, I was passing through Penn Station, I spotted Lindsay, a woman with what appeared to be a sleeve that had a water-inspired design.

It wasn't until after I approached her and asked if she wanted to contribute to Tattoosday that I saw, as she rolled up her sleeve, what awesome work she had done on her left arm:


Lindsay said that, like all of her 14 or 15 tattoos, none of them have "deep meaning". She just goes with whatever she describes as an "intense urge" at the time she's getting the tattoo.

The sleeve above started with her taking photos with stylings to the artist, saying she wanted a bloody shark. This was the first part of the tattoo:


She then expanded it with this segment of shark


which is certainly reminiscient of the movie poster for Jaws.


This piece was created in four sittings lasting 3-4 hours each, by John Reardon at Saved Tattoo (which was the shop responsible for yesterday's post, too).

Work from John Reardon has appeared here on Tattoosday previously. Work from Saved appearing on the site can be seen here. Reardon is also the author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting a Tattoo.

Thanks to Lindsay for taking the time to share her incredible shark sleeve with us here on Tattoosday!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!

Max's Spin on a Traditional Gypsy Tattoo

I was passing through Penn Station late yesterday when I spotted Max, who offered up this fascinating tattoo:


At first glance it looks like the traditional gypsy piece, but if you look closely at the back of the gypsy's head, you can see Max added an element that extended the design up and around his right arm:



That is a deer skull that the gypsy woman is wearing, complete with a set of antlers.

When I asked Max about this he acknowledged that the tattoo, in concept, had started as just the old-style gypsy profile but, growing up in Maryland, he said that there were deer everywhere around his home, and that this was a nod to his former home state.

Perhaps reading too much into it, I asked him if he was taking a symbol of home and tying it to the nomadic image of the gypsy to illustrate a dichotomy between the two contrasting lifestyles. He nodded and said he hadn't thought of it in those terms before, but it seemed to make a little sense if you looked at it like that.

This is one of nine tattoos Max has. The piece in question was designed by Paul Bosch at Saved Tattoo in Brooklyn. Max came to Paul with the concept and left it to the artist to design the tattoo. Work from Saved has appeared previously on Tattoosday here.

Thanks to Max for sharing this fascinating spin on the traditional gypsy tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
