I
REBEL, REBEL—YOU’VE TORN YOUR DRESS
got an email this week—
today in fact—from a guy
to do anything about it—
which is just about the time
that you wish you had done
something about it before
the serious thing happened.
Life can be such
an ironic bitch.
I know for a fact that the
story Chris told me is not
unique to the world. Over
the last few years, I’ve heard
more than my share…
but it got me thinking.
Not so long ago, the
tattooed people of the world
were viewed as the rebels.
worked on, I gure he must
sleep even less than me. Nikki
has become one of the good
guys who wear black—so
where did all the rebels go?
Is it even possible to rebel in
that way anymore and have
anybody pay attention to you?
That is, afterall, the whole
point of rebellion, right?
Let me shine the spotlight
in a few other directions for
you. Behind the scenes here,
we have discovered not one,
but two men of the cloth
(look it up) bearing much
this man to talk to and I will
take you both out for a meal
that would shame the Gods.
POSTSCRIPT:
I was going to write a whole
editorial this month titled ‘I Am
Charlie’ and make a valiant
attempt at that whole ‘freedom
of speech/political’ scenario, but I
couldn’t do it. It’s too complicated
and I haven’t got enough space. I
actually got quite far into it before
I decided that nobody wants to
hear about it, not here anyway.
I can’t let it go that easily though.
Is it enough to say we should all
appreciate how freely we live, but
never take it for granted? There’s
a line in a My Chemical Romance
song that runs: “Everybody wants
to change the world, but no one
wants to die”, and that is likely to
be the sum total of my sentiment.
Be careful out there—whatever it
is you’ve got going on in your head.
who told me he had great
ink and maybe I would like
to check out his inspiring video
clip. This is not unusual—
this kind of thing comes
in from all over the world
every single day of the week,
but this one, I happened to
click on. This is how I came
to meet Christopher.
Good ink. Check.
Professionally shot video. Check.
Watching it with the sound
muted, I actually got quite far
into it before I gured out the
point. Following a horrendous
car crash, Christopher only
has one arm. As time rolled by,
people told him he couldn’t
ride a bike anymore.
Christopher told the world to
go fuck itself. He also practices
mixed martial arts. For him,
the opinion of the world can
indeed go spin on a stick.
I won’t relate the whole story
here because we’re working on
something bigger behind the
scenes together, but if you want
to check it out for yourself, it’s
here:
vimeo.com/m/34844377
You gotta love a ghter
right? There are always ways
to get things done if you think
about it enough and are smart
about it, but sometimes it takes
something serious to shock us
out of ourselves to be inclined
IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE TO REBEL IN
THAT WAY ANYMORE AND HAVE
ANYBODY PAY ATTENTION TO YOU?
Let me use Nikki Sixx as a
good example here. He’s one
of the few men in the world
that I keep up with—mostly
because he went to the edge,
looked down, and came back
again. But at one point in time,
heavily tattooed when the
rest of the world wasn’t and
with an attitude that would
worry a pack of lions, he was
even the outsiders’ outsider.
Now, he has cleaned up his
life, cleaned up his tattoos,
got a great new band as well
as his old band, writes books
that are readable, hosts a radio
show, and has so many side
projects that are proactively
ink—and I know they’re not
the only ones. That right
there. That’s tattoo-rebellion
in 2015. Pastors, lawyers,
teachers, doctors, politicians
and surgeons… there’s great
stories to be told here and I
want to dig them up because
we all know the reaction
we get to our ink on a daily
basis, but what happens
when that ink turns up
inside a niche of a niche?
How far have they gone with
it? Does it tell secrets about
them they don’t otherwise
speak about? A priest with a
full Japanese body suit under
the robes? Please bring me

In this modern world
there is nothing

Welcome to the land

tell you. Strap up.
JIMMY HO
To say that the
opportunities to
publish an interview
with a Japanese
legend are few
and far between
would be a huge
understatement. So
when this crack in
the door appeared
to spend time with
Jimmy Ho, well…
let’s get it on.
AMY SAVAGE
Sometimes in the
tattoo industry you
are given the chance
to watch an artist
really blossom in
their work, from a
bud to a rose. Let’s
see how this rose is
getting along.

can be a wispy,
insubstantial thing
that dissolves under
too much scrutiny…

What happened
when a couple of

joined forces with
tattooing? A tattoo

among others, that’s
what. Here’s the

THE COVER GIRL:
SIAN DAVIES
The last time we
