Something I did the other day. I guess the kids call these “Angel Bites” for some odd reason. I call them “paired Monroes.” At any rate, I did this freehand and from inside to out with a threadless labret.

A photo Casey gave me for Christmas, by Karyn Cantor. I absolutely love this photo. You wouldn’t believe the rare photos Karyn has of Jane’s Addiction (and other LA bands). She is sitting on a goldmine of candid photos.
Sorry for all of the Casey photos, but she has been on my mind all day.

An old coworker asked me if I am doing more interesting and creative piercings since I started to pierce in Los Angeles. Nope, still doing the same ones as I was doing in New York.
From Casey’s personal collection: She and Perry at her mother’s wedding.
Read about the Bakersfield Wedding by Perry Farrell.
What better way to spend a 77 degree December day than to trespass and hike to the old Spahn’s Ranch site with Casey? Chatsworth, California is a beautiful place. We also drove down Box Canyon Road and saw the old Fountain of the World site where Krishna Venta was suicide bombed. It’s actually very close to Spahn’s Ranch and it was a place Manson and the Family regularly visited.
A gift from Casey to me; a photo by Karyn Cantor. Taken in 1985 at the Wilton house, one street away from the infamous “St. Andrews” mentioned in the song Jane Says.
Karyn is an amazing photographer and a lot of the old Jane’s Addiction photos are from her. I saw some of the most amazing photos of Casey and Jane’s Addiction last night— virtually all of them never seen before and unpublished.
Check out Karyn’s jewelry line Classic Hardware, too— it’s great.
I found this geode while in Florida and sent it to Casey as a gift. Many months later, after I move to California, Casey, Sonny and I crack it open and this is how it looks.
I really love doing atypical industrials. Sadly, most teenies who come in for industrials want the common helix to helix, and refuse to have anything different than what all of their friends have.
