"Knit ’till you die!!!"

By Shannon • Mar 12th, 2007 • Category: ModBlog

“Bonnie” (who pierces and tattoos at Body Art Tattoo in Plattsburgh, NY), who describes her life as “I read and knit. I am a nerd. This is me.” Doesn’t sound too bad! Anyway, she just had this great tattoo started by Ian “Jonzey” Jones at Ink Monkey in Venice, CA.

    That’s such a pretty design for a tattoo, and it’s really beautifully executed. And Bonnie is absolutely gorgeous too.

    I don’t knit, but that’s beyond awesome.

  18. Julia on March 12th, 2007 at 8:02 pm:

    but seriously - very awesome. i want to see it colored in!

  19. av3ry on March 12th, 2007 at 8:28 pm:

    That’s what it’s all about, I reckon, celebrating what it is that you love, what it is that makes you happy.
    I feel all inspired now!

  34. Stabby on March 13th, 2007 at 7:34 am:

    She’s absolutely gorgeous. I love her lip piercings, I’m not a fan stretched labrets but it fits her perfectly.

  35. nausea on March 13th, 2007 at 9:54 am:
