Last week, despite one of the worst snowstorms NYC has ever seen, I happily put on a (very tight...) all-black ensemble and 5-inch heels and headed to a party for Revolver Magazine's 1st-ever tattoo issue. With Revolver being a metal music magazine, this fashion girl was definitely excited to have Big Bang Baby frontman (and former Belladonna bassist) Paul Mocci and drummer Billy Atwell with me...
Held at the edgy, Gothic-inspired Paul Booth's Last Rites Gallery on way West 33rd Street in Manhattan, the party was celebrating the magazine's first-ever all-tattoo issue. And they certainly pulled out all the stops...a screening room showing footage from "Revolver TV's" red carpet coverage of the Golden Gods Awards, Coney Island side-show-style performances, a fantastically curated display of intense, aggressive artwork from the gallery, guests having actual tattoos done, and even temporary tattoos designed by legendary tattoo artist Paul Booth himself were available. Revolver Magazine's Editor-in-Chief Brandon Geist was on hand to celebrate, and Mistress Julia of Fuse TV fame was doing on-camera interviews (including with yours truly...).
The magazine issue is only available on newsstands and in stores from March 2nd to May 10th and features Kerry King from Slayer on the cover, complete with a hard-core shot of his Paul Booth-inked head. There are feature articles in the issue that explore how and why hard rock and tattooing go hand-in-hand, as well as in-depth interviews with some of rock's most popular (and most heavily tattooed) artists. Fittingly, there was some amazing body ink on display at the party...everything from full sleeves to head-and-neck art...to my two little ones that you can't actually see when I have clothes on...
Rock. On.
