AKA : What happens when one of the world
leading tattoo brands gets together with one
of the world leading guitar manufacturers.
18 AS ABOVE SO BELOW
Wayne Simmons continues his pilgrimage,
going deep into the hills to unearth tattoo
artists with a penchant for the mystical.
This month he meets Aries Rhysing.
24 MAGNIFICENT MANGA
With manga themed tattoos turning
up ever more, we quite often argue
the hell out of whether they should be
submitted into the ‘Japanese’ category
in convention competitions - they sure
ain’t traditional Japanese in the strictest
sense. We sent Paula Hammond to the
British Museum to dig into their new
exhibition and hoped she would come
back with answers.
30 ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE
In a new series, Rebecca Givens interviews
tattooed women making a mark on the
world. First up, she speaks to magazine
editor, writer and role model, Kat Williams,
who is changing the way we think about the
most important days of our lives.
40 KING OF THE MOUNTAIN
It’s been a long time since the boss last
bumped into Julian Siebert - four or five
years maybe. Seems he was ill-prepared for
exactly how sharply Siebert has honed his
skills in that relatively short space of time.
58 THE SPECIALIST
Even though he still looks like a young
punk, Shane Tan has gotten wiser
through the years.
Before his 20 years anniversary in
tattooing, Singapore born tattooer tells
us more about what it takes to pursue thefinal goal for someone like him specialised
in Japanese tattooing: a collection of
body-suits.
64 CREATURE FEATURE
Adult commitments and the monotony of
daily life continually attempt to silence
our inner child. We all have one; just
some are more hidden than others.
Life has a way of pulling firmly on
the breaks of simply letting go. As we
age we gradually become laden with
mounting responsibilities and coping
with the real struggle that is to keep
sane in an insane world...
72 LAND OF LEGENDS
You know you’re doing something right
when you can name tattoo legends Bowery
Stan and Mario Barth among your
mentors and friends. By that count, Kyle
Jeffas is definitely doing something right.THE USUAL SUSPECTS
