Phonograph Tattoo
We started on my new tattoo piece last Friday. I tried to take photos of it but it's in such a unique angle that a video did it the most justice. I'm so excited about it! You can see Nick's work on his wonderful website.
One thing that I was going to say (that got cut off in the video) is that I got the “Lost Princess of Oz” primarily because I saw it in the Henry Darger documentary and I loved his little frog feet.

wow! it is really beautiful. will it be coloured in eventually? it is very surreal, a fantastic dream.
Wau, amazing piece of art!
Roxi, yes, it will be! This first session was about 4 hours and that’s honestly all I can take at a time, esp. on such a sensitive area like ribs. I imagine that there will be three more sessions… so 16 hours give or take. I hope it will be done in time for summer so I can swim!
That’s stunning! I can’t wait to see it when it’s all done.
It’s stunning! I’ve wanted a phonograph tattoo for years, but life always seems to get in the way.
That is fucking wicked! I can’t wait to see it done. Did you come up with the design yourself or did you let the artist have full reign?
Thanks! It’s based on a design that I drew for the cover of #4 of my zine, Doublespeak: http://www.flickr.com/photos/98033476@N00/3326410621/
I remember seeing that on your zine and i thought that i would make an awesome tatto and it did! Love it!
That is gorgeous!! My friend (and your former rommie) Maren sent me to see your blog! I know that she knew I would appreciate the vintage-y goodness! Love-it!
