Died Vor v zakone Vyacheslav Ivankov

Vyacheslav Ivankov AKA Yaponchik, who was one of the top Vor V Zakone, died today in Moscow hospital at the age of 69.



What will happen now? Who will take Yaponchik's place? Ded Hasan? Who is left from this last line of the Slavic Vors of Authority? With the death of Ivankov, part of this old criminal world and the original thief, also died. He was the last legendary vor v zakone. Some time will pass and they will make documentaries about him. The complet story of the Slava, the last Thief.

Some Like It Hot!



This next tattoo could be the best reader submission I've ever recieved. Veronica's wonderful Marilyn Monroe portrait was done by Stefano Alcantara of Last Rites, NY. Whoah. It puts Megan Fox's arm into context, for sure.

Ooh Arrrrrr!

russian prison tattoos
Hi there, as you have realized it's almost a year since I've last updated this blog. That's probably because I became desensitized to tattoos, and to put it simply, I've lost the drive to search and publish them. Here's a batch that has gathered on my email box and some recent finds. So enjoy them, it's certainly not the last post here , but I moved my bloging activity to a more personal (not much) perpleXuzed blog.









Big thanks to the contributors, without you this collection would never be so huge!
