Tom Strom Skull...

This awesome skull flower bud tattoo was done by Tom Strom from Uptown Tattoo in Minneapolis, MN. Tom is an amazing tattooer, as well as painter, a dancing machine and an all around great guy. A fun fact about Tom is that he still makes his own needles. Go Tom! This tattoo is unfortunately on the back of my leg just above the knee, so I don't ever get to see it.
Here's an old picture of Tom and me on the day the tattoo was done. This was way back in 2005. We both have much longer hair now. He likes Mastodon too!

Your Strange Allure

Not so strange, is it?

Mick & Marianne in San Remo

I love these pictures of Mick and Mari in San Remo, Italy for the San Remo Song Festival, in which Marianne participated (lost the first round, though). This was in January of 1967, during the very early stage of their courtship. Marianne was so pretty in her heart-shaped shades and lock locks.  Even their matching white outfits are kind of cute.

Three Sixty Five is heavy...

Here at Pulse we recently started selling a little book called "Three Sixty Five". I was being sarcastic when I said "little" because these suckers weight 6 lbs a piece. The book is absolutely amazing and it is selling even better than we hoped. Because we are moving so many books, the act of physically moving them has left me injured. I've pulled a muscle in my chest somewhere between my sternum and my ribs. Boy is it painful! Doc says no lifting or exercise for 2 weeks. Oh and for the pain? Ibuprofen. Thanks Doc.
For more information on the book or to order one please visit www.prestoart.com or www.pulsetattoo.com Don't worry about me, some else will have to do it! Below is a beautiful print of the art that is wrapped around the slipcase of the books. It is available for purchase too. And for only $10.00!
