Heya. I'm Shawn. Since 1993 I've been archiving, documenting, and contextualizing body modification- art, ritual, and culture- particularly where it intersects with the LGBTQ+ community of the 1970s/80s.

It's niche work, despite pretty much everyone having a tattoo or piercing these days.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

I still need to get this one to the framer. HG Lewis was a total charmer.

The airport is super close to the city but this time of day… not much open considering the time to get there and back.

I'm visiting Pittsburgh this coming weekend for a tattoo thing- any bars/restaurants you'd recommend as "can't miss" (traffic notwithstanding)

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

I just processed a hot sauce ferment that I've been meaning to bottle for two months now. Aerating Carolina Reapers with a juicer turns my kitchen (and living room, and now, bedroom) into a pepperspray zone.
