Alexander Solzhenitsyn; Repressed Russian. Author of the harrowing Gulag Archipeligo. Survivor of the forced labour camps in the Soviet Union, said this of his fellow inmates and their body art - " They surrendered their bronzed skin to tattooing and this way gradually satisfied their artistic, their erotic, and even their moral needs: on one another's chests, stomachs and backs they could admire powerful eagles perched on cliffs or flying though the sky. Or the big hammer, the sun with its rays shooting out in every direction; or women and men copulating; or the individual organs of their sexual enjoyment; and all of a sudden, next to their hearts were Lenin and Stalin or perhaps both..."
Liam; Senior Hair Stylist at Nori Salon. Methodical master of his craft. Head-o-nistic party animal, had this to say of his decision to have "Dundee's Finest" tattooed at the base of his spine during a fortnight of debauchery in Ibiza - " well, I didn't have a clue what to have done when the boy asked me, so on the spur of the moment, in a drink fuelled haze, I chose this..( pulls up t-shirt, pulls down Calvin Kleins- bum nearly showing)
Liam says his next tattoo is going to be on his neck, where he plans to have the word 'Freedom' etched in Norwegian in homage to his Norse ancestors. I'm hoping that maybe I can help Liam come up with a design for his new artwork.
