Hell Babies: A Cyanide Kiss Shoot

OH MY!! I’m SO excited to share this amazing shoot with you today! Beautiful dresses from the amazing Cyanide Kiss who you can find on Etsy here.

Everyone loves rainbow hair right?

“Cute, retro and Lolita inspired clothing for the sweet and not so innocent!
The Cyanide Kiss aesthetic is outrageously sweet, and girlie to the extreme, a nod to both the Lolita girls from Harajuku as well as the Rockabilly girls from Manchester, merging two styles from opposite sides of the globe. Providing unique styles that you won’t see anywhere else. Inspired by the 40’s and 50’s and a love of vintage clothing and infused with a twist of Japanese street styles to create a unique style.”

Tattoo Tuesday: 28th August 2012

Good evening! How was your bank holiday weekend? I celebrated my birthday yesterday and got lots of goodies. Today I’m going to share with you something I will be treating myself to soon with my  birthday spends:

The cover itself looks awesome – Especially the biological heart!

“Tattoos, which were once an exclusively underground phenomenon, now have mass appeal. This evolution from sub culture to mainstream has brought fresh ideas, tensions, and shifts with it. Traditionalists and innovators have staked out very different positions. Over the last few years, new influences from the realms of art, fashion, traditional tattoo art, and visual culture have given rise to a dynamic tattoo scene a new underground.”

“Forever breaks the mould of standard tattoo books and their typical display of flesh. This publication is an in-depth investigation of current developments in contemporary tattoo culture. It introduces key innovators and presents a broad range of styles and approaches. Quality photos and insightful texts document the new self-image of a rapidly expanding and extremely creative scene.”

Alex Binnie, Yann Black, Scott Campbell, Curly, El Monga, Fergadelic and Mike Giant are just some of the lovelies featured in this awesome book.

How awesome does this sound? You can purchase this book on Amazon here.

The Wedding Of Two Artists: James & Erin

Good afternoon! You are in for a treat today!
Erin & James were married this year and had photos taken in between their service and reception by the awesome Allebach Photography – The Tattooed Bride Photographer. Mike likes to have fun with his couples on their wedding day (Just wait until you see some of the great moments – it looks like they had a ball on the day!)

Seriously, it looks like they had SO much fun!

“We met through a mutual friend while we were in college. James was on his way to a tattoo appointment and I tagged along to keep our mutual friend company. It was Halloween, so we went to a party together later that day and ended up at a diner at 4 in the morning. I was in costume as a Hindu goddess and covered in blue body paint, so I was pretty impressed that he would want to hang out with me all night.

A few weeks later he “officially” asked me out on a date – and we have been together ever since.

Good evening! It’s good to be back from London town where I had fun with lots of lovely girls (Sneak peeks of what we got up to this Friday!)
How better to get in the mood this week than featuring a fab new tattoo artist?

Below is his KISS inspired sketch, isn’t it awesome?!!
