it burns.

These days are filled with grief and tears but also sweet remembrance for tattooed and queer people all over the world. The brightest of all Flaming Hearts has left us forever. May you reunite in Ink Heaven with all your companions that went there before you and have the most dazzling, everlasting celebration. No one who met you once will ever forget you, in our hearts your flame is burning forever.

It nearly feels as if my own grandpa had died once again. He was the icon of probably all german tattoo artists, who had a tattoo done by him carries one piece of his love of life.. I didn't manage to do it anymore. But I met him several times, and I will never forget him and his message to world. For me and many other people, he was the personified tolerance.

Don't ever let anyone get between you and your beliefs, look ahead and leave all ignorants behind you. And be colourful.

Thank you for some of the best thoughts of my life. Ink In Peace, Herbert Hoffmann.

Woo-nderful! male yarn addiction!

Sometimes, I stumble over web thingsies that I can hardly believe. I consider myself to be strongly feminist and take most male approaches to gender equality for granted - nevertheless, I happen to be astonished from time to time. For example when Mr P took over the task of doing all laundry all by himself - very profane example - or when I found WooWorks' wonderful website.

A male artist who loves to crochet in such a creative and thoughtful way! My heart stood still several times while browsing his online playground. Have fun with this exceptionnal artist's yarn works. Don't forget to watch his cartoons and his gorgeous short films!!!

I still can't believe it. A man who understands the idea of yarnbombing. We're not yet lost, sisters ;)
