Erotic Ink: Sex and tattoos evoke an orgy of issues.
Sex and tattoos evoke an orgy of issues, and untangling the multiple limbs is surely fun but can get complicated because they range from how tattoos play a part in sexual attractiveness (whether it be the wearer's self-perception or how tattoos factor in choosing a lover) to the intimate relationship between tattoo artist and client (and the development of sexual attraction in the tattoo chair) to even people achieving orgasm during tattooing.
Yes, there are people who climax while getting needled. Not many -- otherwise there would be way more full body suits walking around -- but it does happen.
The cumming client stories, however, get passed around like myths and legends around tattoo shops and online. Nobody at our own Calypso Tattoo studio was ever doused with sperm during a session, and though the dirty messages I've gotten at Needled.com would make even a Suicide Girl blush, none had ever provided me with empirical evidence of such pain and pleasure proclivities.
Thus, last November, my Tattoos & Sex Survey was born. Ten online questions designed for stats, anecdotes, and even the option of names and emails for confirmation and follow-up.

AWOB: THE ART OF MEHNDI...IN FOCUS WITH MEHNDI MAMA CARRIN
Mehndi is a meditational art form that
blesses and honors our bodies and ourselves.
Encompassing symbolism, frequencies, and traditional
art from all cultures and time periods,
my intention is to 'channel' the art that wants to be on the body.
Currently I specialize in 'Sacred Galactivational Mehndi'
Divinatory Henna Body Art for Emotional, Cellular, & DNA Re-Patterning.
I define Galactivation as utilizing frequency through all of its manifestations
-sound, light, color, and visual representation (cymatics)-
to activate/galactivate our consciousness for evolution.
Thus I paint visual representations of frequencies on the body
for the evolution of human consciousness.
