At the age of 69, my father decided to get his first tattoo. He saw my recent work and there was a look in his eye when he half-jokingly said "Maybe I ought to get one".

Perhaps this is some consolation for the horror last Superbowl.....the Celtics have won the championship! It's their first time since 1986, and they beat the Lakers right here in Boston with an impressive 131-92!

Now, it is a long-standing fact that I have had my issues with Morrissey.....there was that little incident with him at the Parker House Hotel way way back when. HOWEVER, I have always respected his stance on animal rights, and I felt this was worthy of re-posting (original can be found at gothmagazine.com ( Read more... )

Yesterday,little_puppett and I had sittings with the most talented, and genuinely nice tattoo artist, Sandra Burbul of Kaleidoscope Tattoo in Cambridge. We had been searching for an artist for quite a while, and when we first saw her at the Boston Tattoo Convention last September, we were thoroughly impressed. Her work is beyond amazing, and she has that ( Read more... )
