Gulp.

[Alt pop star] Grimes has burnished her otherworldly reputation with a large back tattoo of what she calls “beautiful alien scars.”

Grimes has had her eyes on cosmic horizons all 2021, recently claiming she’d be willing to travel to Mars “after age 50” even if it required “manual labour until death.” She also vowed to get one of her partner Elon Musk’s brain chips, saying, “We’ll have the knowledge of the Gods.”

Fair enough.

“You might be interested in featuring this video about Limerick-based tattooer Ross Nagle (above) and a book of tattoo flash/tattoo art he’s publishing called Stab City. Ross really deserves a lot of credit for trying to raise the standard of tattooing in Ireland. He’s a modest guy but this book is a pretty big deal (perhaps only from the point of view of someone interested in tattooing at least) and I think he deserves a clap on the back. To help clarify: ‘Flash’ refers to sheets of tattoo iconography which were originally intended to be mounted on walls for customers to choose from. Lately ‘flash’ has become something collected – as a kind of outsider art I guess – in its own right. I have no financial or business connection with Ross, his shop, the publishers of this book, etc…..
