Embracing female tattoo culture
Feature girl: Claire Loughlin (Claybles)
“The jigsaw piece is representative of the fact that life is a learning curve and that no matter how much we learn there is always a bit missing. It’s reflective of the fact that at this point in my life I’m still searching for that missing piece, whether it be knowledge or someone to fill that gap.”
The tattoo is by Tommy at Wallington Tattoo. I am assured that Claire has lots more ink so she will feature again very soon…
Don’t rub me it’s Fake.
Amelia’s Compendium of Fashion Illustration invites the reader to ‘be inspired’…and it is certainly inspirational reading, in more ways than one.
Opening the beautiful book (also becoming slightly giddy from the wonderful new book fumes) you instantly get lost among the beautiful pictures. The book features the work of emerging illustrators and they depict the work of 50 ethical fashion designers.
I was very lucky indeed to be invited to the launch of this inspirational book, an intimate affair with entertainment from 6 Day Riot and the Pipettes. The event was held at – small but perfectly formed – 123 Bethnal Green Road in east London.
I could not resist purchasing a book and I was lucky enough to receive a wondrous goodie bag filled to the brim with treats from Tatty Devine and Dr. Hauschka. Much merriment and dancing ensued…
..and so on the journey home myself and Lucy, a little tipsy on Adnams beer and tonic mixed with Vodka O, perused the pages of ACOFI (as it is know in the Twittersphere) and decided that not only are the illustrations beautiful, but they would come alive as tattoos. So here is a selection of some of my faves from the book and let’s see how they work on the body…inkspired.
Now who wants one of these? I love them
All illustrations are taken from Amelia’s Compendium of Fashion Illustration. Go buy it now…also do let me know if anyone does already have one of these beautiful illustrations as a tattoo….
I am hoping my feet look a little more like this by the summer. I don’t want bare feet anymore.

This lady should get a lifetime supply of Mac lipstick for this kind of brand dedication. I love her style, I am a Mac girl at heart too.
Any other Th’inkers got cool branded ink?

Who’d have thought this girl dumped Mark Zuckerberg?
The actress from The Social Network is now to star in David Fincher’s film adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
Rooney Mara in character as Salander—an androgynous, bisexual computer hacker with multiple piercings and a distinctive tattoo on her back— is too hot for words in this dirty, dark photo shoot. According to W magazine, to prepare for the role of the computer hacker Salander, Mara had her eyebrows bleached, her hair chopped, and her lip, brow, nose, and nipple pierced — all in one ‘intense’ day.
