I woke up this morning with quite a surprise… Tattoos In Flight has been featured in the blog at Needled, one of the (if not THE) best and most well-known sites on highbrow tattoo culture out there!  Marisa at Needled was nice enough to even post the entire “essay-like” backgrounder I sent to her.  Thanks!

Needled is an amazing site, with lots of content including some great videos… and if you haven’t visited, please do so!

So if you are visiting via Needled, welcome!

Artist Jen Clinch Guertin of Anchor Steam Tattoo in Newport, RI designed this retro Space scene on a forearm.

This past week I recorded a podcast with Court Miller and Max Flight at the Airplane Geeks Podcast.  I was honored to be featured as their main interview in this edition, their third overall.

Take a listen at this link to the podcast post.

My interview is 20 minutes into the podcast, but take time and listen to their news and commentary before it… they do a great job and we look forward to hearing more from them!

Thanks to Nick from Liquid Courage Tattoo & Piercing in Omaha, NE for sending us this fantastic rib piece featuring a massive Boeing B-29 Superfortress formation and a rather sultry pin-up as well. The artist was Devin, co-owner of Liquid Courage, an all custom tattoo studio that also happens to be Omaha’s oldest custom studio as well!

This week we are beginning our regular series, “Winged Wednesday” which highlights full-back tattoos of wings.
