BodyArt
One of my (somewhat slowed now) hobbies is bodyart. Tattoo's, piercings,
brandings, cuttings, etc. I have two tattoos so far, and a couple
piercings.
Here are some links to great bodyart sites:
Body Basics
BME - the Body Modification E-Zine
Body Circle Jewelry
Update Jan 2006: I have not updated any of this info in quite a long time.
Oh well.
Tattoo(s)
This is my first tattoo after the original sitting with Steve at Reigning Color
Tattoos in Normal, IL - do NOT go there - they are awful. They never
asked me for ID, and their sterilization was non-obvious. Not to mention
their rendering left something to be desired
This is the tattoo after the first sitting with Misha at Body Basics in
Chicago. I am INFINITELY happier. Since then, Misha has moved. If you
want ink, you can find her here:

This is the final tattoo....LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
My second piece: A Celtic knotworked Ankh
(yes I know I am mixing cultural symbols, but it means something, so shut
up :) on my lower spine, just above the pantline. It is about 8 inches
tall when I stand, and closer to a foot when I bend over. The artwork was
done and tattooed by Misha (formerly of Body Basics Chicago, now a
diamond-in-the-rough in New Orleans). Total tattoo time was about 2.5
hours - but it looks like 5 hours - Misha ROCKS. If you want ink, I'll
send you to her everytime.
