By gum, unless deja/google is filtering with
charcoal that hasn't been boiled in a decade this group's gone awful quiet. Anyway, there was a spot of brain surgery on the BBC last night, which will be available for download to play on its iPlayer for the next week but is broadcast on BBC TWO (Scotland) for those with suitable satellite receivers. It's documentary not SFX. G DAEB COPYRIGHT (C) 2008 SIPSTON -- |

I kind of took an interest here in the late 1990s under a different dialup account then ended up offline until maybe 2 and a bit years ago. As I hardly have much work to boast of and haven't done much apart from some basic guage stretchings this century (although I have a story to tell) I kind of remembered it as basically there were a heck of a lot of professional tattooists and piercers and there were a heck of a lot of kids younger than me with corresponding attitudes so I kind of fell between the posts and, knowing about as much as I may ever need to know, stopped bothering. I had nothing to add and nothing to ask and so forth. I don't know, my interest may be rekindling itself. Or not. But if it's so quiet here... Oh, the show was "storyville" by the way. I did have a question as to whether anybody knew what level of consultative control Orlan had over the photo-montage of her plastic surgery progress in a 2000 book I read this morning and forgot the name of since.

Certainly there are more tattooist-piercer studios in this town than ever before, but I do wonder if it hasn't peaked to a certain extent, like Starbucks only more so: on the basis that people only have a finite amount of skin each to cover. I'm just surprised to find it quite so quiet as this, given that although USENET is back at 1985 levels of traffic (yeah, before my time too), there is more bodyart in porn, pop and public life than ever. Not every forum was mega busy but this one was hundreds of posts a day. Then again, I was surprised to find a talented artist who wanted to get into tattooing reluctant to use my legs as practice a few years ago, as I wouldn't've let him use discrete approaches to motif application so much as had a general plan in mind already. I'm considering chasing a machine up for my own use in the not-too-distant as it happens. My design aesthetic and understanding of symbols has developed sufficiently for me to once more be enthusiastic about the challenge of working up stuff I want, IMO. Nice to see there is still some life about. Ironic really that USENET is one place employers these days are not really turning in order to "get an impression" of candidates prior to hiring, as it's all so much more of a disparate platform. The public domain has thus become one place on-line privacy is running at quite high levels. Besides, I'm still not comfortable with the amounts of proprietary access to information forum-owners not only have but can sell, wholesale, overnight. Bu hey, I always was one of the uncool and no-crowd- following people without sufficient music channels to really get down with the kids and their humour... So who's still here then?
