As appreciative as I am to see infinitely more photos of tattoos thanks to mobile devices, you can’t be a high-resolution photo like the one below.

So sorry guys, but sometimes I can’t help but hate your damn iPhones.

Tattoo by Maxime Büchi (NY, London, Luzanne – traveling)

I always forget that Maxime works in Brooklyn until he’s not in Brooklyn. One of these days, though, I intend to book some time with him while he’s stateside to get a tattoo involving fine line and geometric formations to call my own.

The only thing better than a good tattoo is one that comes complete with a good story. (Click that link to read Zana’s blog about her new tattoo.)

(Yes, he rotates between those three locations & many more)

I don’t know if I could handle be based out of three places at once, but Maxime seems to have no problem moving between his three regular location. I know he’s back in the UK until he gets back to NYC in October, but emailing him is probably your best bet if you’re looking to get tattooed by him.

Once upon a time, Kevin & I had an AIM conversation and it went a little bit like this:

Julene: I can’t think of what to say about this tattoo except that it’s cool and I like looking at it.

Kevin: That’s fucking rad

Julene: I can’t post “that’s fucking rad” – this is the internet! It’s SRS!

Kevin: Then just tell them the eye symbolizes being watched by The Man, which is a form of slavery in and of itself.

Julene: On second thought…
