Introduction
When I approached Tim Kern in 2004 about tattooing my chest and presented him with my idea, his response was to take this proposal to his own extreme level and created the piece that now rests on my skin.
"Famous for their aggression, roosters are used the world over for fighting and betting purposes. The Goths used the rooster as a war symbol. In the Chinese zodiac, people born in the Year of the Rooster are considered deep thinkers and loners, whose emotions can swing from high to low. On account of the rooster's flowing and arching tailfeathers and its red-colored head comb, Buddhists have associated it with pride an passion." (The Tattoo Encyclopedia)
So, with boxing wraps on my hands and a little play with feathers and grease, I would like to present to you A COCKFIGHT.

SuicideGirls… became famous for embracing beauty in every shape and form — meaning bodies covered in tattoos, having bright-colored hair, and being outside of traditional beauty norms were celebrated. The name comes from the idea that women who commit “social suicide” by being different come together.
A nation wide art-sleaze phenomenon.
It’s like a punk rock Vogue…with artful nude photos of women.
Fifteen years ago, a small-but-passionate community that celebrated beauty in alternative, pinup-style photography was born. It was called SuicideGirls.
They’re the girls next door - but more colorful and with better record collections.
SuicideGirls respond… in the best way possible.
The meeting place for people interested in alternative lifestyles.
SuicideGirls is as much about community as it is about naked photos of tattooed women.
SuicideGirls is redefining concepts of beauty across the globe.
