Also, she was the first official fetish model. I myself am a fetish model!! Lastly as far as piercing's, I like the ones I have chosen because they are attractive, ears gaged, navel gage, hood, and labret.

XoXo Nicola AKA PiXiE February 22    Drew Barrymoore Let me start off with-Drew is one of my personal favorite actress's. Ok...she was born in Culver City, California in 1975, and is steep in family tradition in film. With a natural flair for comedy and a warm, engaging demeanor, Drew Barrymore has come a long way since her big-screen breakout in Steven Spielberg's Oscar-winning sci-fi adventure, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982). Despite a troubled and much-publicized adolescence during which she appeared in only a handful of films, Barrymore's star was officially on the rise during the 1990s with notable roles in Poison Ivy (1992), Bad Girls (1994/I), Batman For- ever (1995), Woody Allen's Everyone Says I Love You (1996) and Wes Craven's Scream (1996). Higher-profile turns in The Wedding Singer (1998), Ever After (1998), Never Been Kissed (1999), Charlie's Angels (2000), Riding in Cars with Boys (2001) and Donnie Darko (2001) followed, proving to once-cynical audiences that Barrymore was not only a capable leading lady, but also a gifted and versatile actor. Recent big-screen ventures included 50 First Dates (2004) with Adam Sandler and the Farrelly brothers' Fever Pitch (2005), as well as Curtis Hanson's forthcoming Lucky You (2007) and Marc Lawrence's Music and Lyrics (2007), co-starring Hugh Grant.

My very first was a butterfly that I actually turned into a full pelvis piece later on. The first butterfly represented me and of course is a symbol of transformation, to show how I transformed from an unfortunate Bipolar drug addict adolescent, into the intelligent adventurous women I am now. The second butterfly represented the love of my life, Allen Walker Howey (R.I.P.), and what came between us is the star that combines the butterflies with a vine which represents my ex. He was the only thing that kept Allen and I together yet seperated us at the same time. This piece was done by Tim of Heirarchy Tattoo. PHX, AZ My second tattoo was done by my original artist Richard Clark, which is my obligtory MOM tattoo, his shop is called Custom Fit.

February 16    Amanda Holden British television actress, 'Sarah Trevanion' on last years show "Wild At Heart", Amanda was born in 1971 in Bishop's Waltham, Hampshire, England. Trained to be an actress for 3 years at London's Mountview Theatre School. Her first TV app- earance was in 1990 at the age of 19 as an unsuccessful contestant on Cilla Black's dating game show "Blind Date" (1985). She was nominated for a 2004 Laurence Olivier Theatre Award for Best Actress in a Musical of 2003 for her performance in Thoroughly Modern Millie performed at the Shaftesbury Theatre. She and her hus- band Les Dennis separated in 2002 following her affair with Neil Morrissey. They divorced in November 2003. Announced her engagement to music producer Chris Hughes back in late 2004. They are still not married-but Amanda gave birth to her first child, Alexa Louise Florence Hughes (Lexi), on 21 February 2006. Personal quote; "Doing Top Of The Pops is one of my ambitions but I don't want to be one of those actresses who suddenly goes: "oh yeah, I always wanted to be a pop star". I always wanted to show I could perform and then maybe release something once I'd proved myself. Considering my age, I'm not going to wear crop tops and try to be Britney. I like country but I don't think "Amanda Holden's Country Album" would be a huge seller. Maybe a bit more of a crossover like Shania Twain. I wouldn't mind cov- ering Dolly Parton's Nine To Five." Birthday's today: Ice-T, LaVar Burton, William Katt, Lisa Loring, Sam Rubin, Andy Taylor (Duran Duran), John McEnroe, James Ingram, Teri Harrison, Susanna & Jenny Kallur, Ana Maljevic, Vicki Butler-Harrison, Emily Harper, Alyssa-Jane Cook, Cynthia Garrett, Alexa Kenin, Naomi Nishida, Tarita Virtue, Tabatha Stevens, Gemma Gregory, Tony Kiley (Blow Monkey's) Sonny Bono (R.I.P.) Q of THE WEEK: "TATTOO DIARIES" comes to a close The Richard  (L) Montreal, Quebec Canada www.myspace.com/thehairgod RICHARD SAYS: Hi Jonathan. On my right shoulder stands Joan Jett from her 80's era singing onto her mic (which usually stiil gets a funny reaction from strangers as many assume she is givin' head -heh-heh-heh!!!) Always planned to meet Joan and have her sign my tat in order to have her permanent autograph onto my skin. Which I did a few years later, and may I add that she truly rocks !!! =) On to my left shoulder stands the logo for my other Rock Icon; Wendy O. Williams. I later had my x-gf (tatoo artist ; FreakyNat from Montreal) add a negative imprint of Wendy licking a shotgun with breast x-posed and electric tape over nipples. Flames from x-plosion blasts surround her as a hollow would usually been seen around the Virgin Mary. This will become an arm sleeve dedicated to her. Alot to cum such as buzz-saws, sledgehammers, Cadillac Coup Deville's x-ploding everywhere. =) Got a big star in flames onto my left forearm (black-orange-yellows) and a cross bone skull onto my right (again, same colors). This also by FreakyNat. Though I've got more judging them not really important to mention, I regret nothing of ink onto me. Well it's been fun but I've gotta run. =) Take care Pinkpunch United Kingdom www.myspace.com/pinkpunchbabe PINKPUNCH SAYS: I have a few tats and piercing's and hopin' to get some more. All the ones I hav at the mo all mean something special. pink x Lamia Cross Paris France www.myspace.com/melamia LAMIA SAYS: My first tattoo was a scorpion with fluorescent white ink (which flashes with a Black light ^^) on my left chest. Why a scorpion? Because I'm a scorpio. Then I got a red rose with nails on my neck, right side. It's my favorite flower. I have a blue lilies with Tribal on my left thigh. it was on back of the letter from Fab. The story behind is...he has used to sent me his daily letters since we had met in Paris 1993, because I was always living in Japan and we didn't have Internet yet at the time. after several months of daily posting he has no letter paper in house then he had started use what he had found, some tattoo designs sheets "^^; I had chosen one of my favorite to put it on me and had taken an in- stant picture of my thigh, to send it to him. I wanted to show him that I believe in us, on our "Long-distance Love" so that he could drive the thoughts out from his head the thoughts which would mess up my return, so that he won’t give up and be sick with dread. So, you can see only my two tattoos in general, my red rose on my neck and my black spider on my left arm. Why a spider??? I like spider's attitude ^^ Being patient to get what he want. I'm proud of all my inks done by the same Japanese tattoo artist, but I'm so sorry I can't get his name in my head....lol Lamia Dave Phoenix Arizona www.myspace.com/bigbuddypro DAVE SAYS: Tattoos are addictive. It's probably the coolest addiction out there. I have six of them. My piece de resistance is my back. 50 hours in the chair over a period of 8 months. It earned me the moniker of "Star Wars Dave" Shout out to Terry "Wookie" Hoffman @Club Tattoo in Tempe. Peace and Good music, Dave Tina Texarkana www.myspace.com/misstina3189 TINA SAYS: I love Tatoos! I only have seven though and each one are a specific meaning (long and hard decision!) But one in particular that I am fond of (I am an insomniac), I have much trouble sleeping, with the husband in Iraq...three teenage daug- hters on the loose and all the terrors that go along with it. I CANT SLEEP! What better way to express this anxiety, but with the scariest clown on earth! Done by my nephew Nate from Boleware and Bums Custom Tattoos in Texarkana,Texas! JONATHAN: You can view Tina's tats on her profile. ll Devil (L) El Mirage Arizona www.myspace.com/lldevil1971 LL DEVIL SAYS: Tattoo Diaries... certain sensations are worth coming back for. The undescribeable rush that charges through me when I get my tattoo's and the pure enjoyment of seeing it on my skin. That is why I started getting tattoo's. I have my tattoo's placed so that you only see them if I want you to see them. My tattoo's are just above my bum. I know, go figure. The first one is centered, it is my astological sign and it is in purple, black and green and on each side of my sign there are tribal dolphin's. They are in black. I plan on adding one more piece to it to tie them together better. My ultimate vision is for it to appear like when you blow smoke rings, smokey, drifty... in motion. I think that black looks better overall then the colored one I have, only because now the colors are faded. My first tattoo was done in a shop in Scottsdale. Not sure of the name - bad huh?! I have the card somewhere. But, the tribal dolphins were done by Terry aka Wookie at Club Tattoo located at 1212 E. Apache Blvd. Terry is awesome!! Tattoo's are addictive. Finding out what they mean to people is always interesting too. I love 'em! Artemisia Centre France www.myspace.com/mariliartemisia ARTEMISIA SAYS: Yes I am proud of my ink. Acting on and with nature through art and skill is why. On my shoulder and back, a bouquet of three thisles surrounded by their leaves. I have a fascination for science art and nature. botanics. Passion for late 19th et early 20th century art and architecture, paintings, ceramics, sculpture, windows, mosaiks, iron, pics, furniture.  Modern style and art deco, medecine and history, ceroplasty, frag- onard les écorchés, etc. The original inspiration comes from a picture I took of a ceramic on a bulding in Brussels, mixed with a botanic drawing : D Grrr did a great work on that drawing! He gave real power to it. My preference? Colour. Or, black and white very contrasted, typo. Luc from Tintin Tattoos in Paris for the first half. And Denis Grrr for the second. www.d-grrr.com I'm not so much interested by piercing. Drawing on the skin inspires me much more.

My brother (in spirit) Jody Wheatley gave me my first real tattoo.

Q of THE WEEK: "TATTO DIARIES" ROCKS ON ! (scroll down to view more) Traci Northern Ireland www.myspace.com/tracithepout TRACI SAYS: I love tats and have 3 at the minute. 1st tat I had was on my back 18 years ago. Is in colour of hearts and flowers. 2nd was the day I got divorced. Stopped off on my way home from court. It's on my arm and is my fav...black. A large celtic design. 3rd is on my tummy, and again is a black cetic design. Once u start it's hard to stop. They are so addictive. I want to get another done sometime this year, but that will be my lot! ; ) (yeah right) lol Gretchen Goodyear Arizona www.myspace.com/azharleydiva GRETCHEN SAYS: Hi Jonathan! I LOVE my tattoos!!!! I'd be fully sleeved if my husband wasn't so anti-tat! I got my first one when I was 18. It's on my right shoulder blade. My friend did it in his living room. heh. It was supposed to be an angel with my daughter's name under it. When he was finished, however, he informed me that he didn't know how to draw angels so he did a butterfly. It was really ugly. A couple of months later, I was living with my brother in South Carolina. Tattoos are illegal there, but if you know the right people, you can get one. So, I went to this dude's house and paid $20 bucks to have my tat fixed up a bit. He added color to the butterfly and fixed up the lettering a bit. It was still a crappy looking tat, but it was better than the original. Last year, I finally got it covered. It's a collage of images that represent my children. The first is the drama mask for my daughter...(she's 13... need I say more?) The second element is the Cheshire cat for my son, TJ. He has a smile that lights up the room. The third image is an angel. This is for my youngest son, Trey. (I've considered adding devil horns to it, heh.) Finally, there is a teardrop on the drama mask for my son, Nicholas, who passed away in 1999. You can see before and after pics on my profile. My most recent tattoo is on the top of my foot. It almost covers it. It is a scale of justice with the words "Judge not lest ye be judged." I LOVE it. Both my cover up tat and my tat on my foot were done by Alan at Bright Ideas on Central and Van Buren in Avondale. (NOT PHOENIX) I highly recommend them. I also got my navel pierced there (a pic of that is on my profile as well). Chaz does a great job with piercings. They are all very professional and I hope to get back there again soon!!!

It was suppose to be continued but it hurt so bad I only had the center piece done. I was on my way home from visiting my hometown Orlando and was emotionally going through a tough time. I had my daughter with me and I just pulled into the tattoo parlor and looked through a book and found a pic I liked and she started working on it. My daughter who was 14 at the time held my hand the whole time and when he finished we jumped into the car and headed back home to SC. I was hooked then so I got my belly button pierced and 1-year later made a trip back to Orlando and got the tattoo on my arm done, again on my way home to SC.   The lady who did my tattoos is no longer there and I don't remember her name so when I am ready for a new tattoo I will have to find someone new! My tattoos helped me forget some of my emotional pain and helped me get through some of my darkest days, but now I just enjoy their beauty. I absolutely love tattoos!

All my tattoos are color. They are on my back, neck, arm, and chest. Each one has deep personal meaning, cause of hardships I have faced. Yes, I plan to get more tattoos.

Great tattoos btw. I have two also but would maybe like to get one more. x JONATHAN: Thanks Mary. I actually have my entire right arm and shoulder and inside chest done. A Kanji, on back of my neck. My left arm, shoulder and inside chest is almost complete sleeve from wrist as is my right. My left shoulder extends up my neck under ear. My left leg from ball of foot to knee is a large cobra, and my right leg is the old WWF logo and barbed wire above that. LOL-I thought this was the opportunity to mention mine. ;-) Do get some more, you will enjoy it. Susan Southern California www.myspace.com/chickenmi SUSAN SAYS: I have two orange, white and black koi in the shape of Pisces. Back left shoulder. I also have a red star with "SAINT" in the middle. (Not going to explain that one, sorry) Back also. They are both 5x5 or maybe larger. Next one is happening in the next month. It will be a Lotus flower on back right shoulder. I will also be getting my dog's paw print. I have no preference when it comes to color or no color. But symmetry is a must. More than one, is a must also. One tattoo looks SO lonely. Bill at Tattoo Asylum in Venice, CA did both. He designed and drew the koi. Justine Glasgow Scotland www.myspace.com/justinehickman JUSTINE SAYS: Hey! Funny enough I just got a new tattoo on Monday (last week). A little black shooting star on the inside of my wrist. That was my 4th. I also have a black tribal butterfly just under my ankle, a pegasus on my lower back and a strawberry! I dont have any pics but I'll need to try and take some! JONATHAN: Justine, you should take some and put them on your profile. February 12 Christina Ricci Precocious, outspoken child-teen starlet of the 1990s, Christina Ricci was born in 1980 in Santa Monica, California, the youngest of four children of a lawyer father and realtor mother. She made her screen debut at the age of 9 in Mermaids (1990), in which she worked with Cher. Her breakthrough adult role was in The Ice Storm (1997), in which she plays a nymphet who skillfully seduces two brothers. She work- ed with Johnny Depp and Casper Van Dien in the Tim Burton film Sleepy Hollow (1999). Candid and controversial, as well as a highly skilled actress, Christina was much in de- mand by film makers in the late 1990s. In 1999, at the age of 19, she directed and wo- rked on the screenplay for the movie Asylum (1997/I). A compulsive talker and smoker who seems to have a new and refreshing view on every subject, the buxom Christina is becoming a top box office draw and seems to be destined for superstardom in the new century. Pennsylvania rock band Anthrophobia has a song about Christina on their 1999 release, "In The Zero To 3 Movement." The song is called "Ricci" and it appears as track 3. Was #97 on VH-1's "100 Greatest Kid Stars" (2005). Was quite interested in buying my house in 2005 in Los Feliz (Los Angeles), but decided not to. It was too modern for her.

Tankgirl Pays de la Loire France www.myspace.com/tankgirl100drine TANKGIRL SAYS: Hi Jonathan - to answer your questions: my first tattooing is tribal that I carry to ankle with the initials of my three childrens encrusted inside. For the second that I carry in my back, my Tankgirl adored! (which resembles to me much in the character!) and for the third, the my Manta encrusted with three heads of Tiki which I also carry in my back, as you will have understood, are my childrens carried by their mother. I'm a girl of the sea, and it's for me an essential element to be able to live; moreover I live at the edge of water. My last tattoo was carried by a friend Fred de Couéron (his shop is called Neo Tattoo). My Tankgirl was carried by Riton (my boyfriend, who has also a my space Henri Riton, the bond is on my myspace. www.myspace.com/henririton All this tell my life, and the history is not finished!! I hope to have answered your waitings, and, please especially correct my English!!!! KissKiss! JONATHAN: I think it's charming, and I wouldn't change a word. :-) Keren Stroud United Kingdom www.myspace.com/kezisyours KEREN SAYS: Wow u ready for this??? lol -I have 5 tattoo's and 14 piercing's. First tat I had was when I was 30. It's a white horse on my shoulder. The reason behind this is that I'm from Kent and the white horse is the emblem for Kent, and as I live 175 miles away now, it reminds me of my roots Second tat, is Aerosmith wings logo on my lower back. This tat is for my fave band. Simple as that. Third tat, trailing shamrocks that start just above my left breast. Covers it, goes down ribs, thigh and finishes just short of my knee. I got this tat done as I really do love Ireland. I've had some magical times there. It feels like home. Fourth tat, my 2 boys names in elvish text off lord of the rings. I designed the bands above and below which have their birth signs in, and the area in between is infilled wiv bio mechanical stuff. Fifth tat is my name in Sri Lankan. My parents went there for a holiday and had a nacklace made for me. So I used that for the tat and had it infilled with the stars n' stripes as I'm born on the 4th of July. I have plans for another tattoo, which is a naked vampire woman wiv leather look wings...but need to save up some money first. I really do think it depends on the artwork whether to be colour or black & white. I have a few coloured and a few black & white. I am very proud of my artwork, apart from when my parents visit or I go see them, as they dont know I have any tats!!! They would go mad if they found out, as they went mad when I had piercings!! All my tats have been done by my good friend now...Q of Q's Tattoos in Stroud, Gloucestershire. As for piercing's, well I started when I was 8 with my ears, then again ears at 11 and again at 21. I then got nose pierced at 26, and then when I hit my 30's, I then went beyond and had body piercing's.   I luv all my piercings. I have eyebrow, nose, tongue and madonna which are visable and tastefully done. Then I have some others which are out of sight. hehehe Tat pics on my profile x Em United Kingdom www.myspace.com/pansytoadfoot EM SAYS: Ok, I've got Wisteria on my right shoulder, etched by Sabado at Eccentric Super Tattoo in Nagoya, Japan. I got it as a permanent reminder of my years in Japan. Would love to get more along the same theme and eventually have my entire back covered with art. Have a couple of other small, black tattoos, but love colour best. Tamera (aka The Minx) Memphis Tennessee www.myspace.com/ladyl33ta TAMERA SAYS: Great question, Jonathan!!! I am indeed proud of my ink!!! They express my fascination with and love of ancient Egyptian art. I have a Scorpion on the back of my neck (my horoscope sign). A winged scarab (for a safe journey and keeper of the soul) in the small of my back. An ankh (life) on my left ankle, the eye of horus (protection) on my right ankle, and Bast (defender, cat lover), on my left upper arm. I'd love to get more! I want a pyramid with the sphinx and palm trees. I'd also like to have my name in hieroglyphics. I prefer colour. although, my Bast tat looked really cool when it was just the black outline and partially filled in! Plus, I was informed by my tattoo artist that I have perfect skin for colour! I got my ink done at Irezumi Body Art, 1603 Westport Rd, Kansas City, MO. Blake did a couple and Steve did the rest. The website is still under construction. www.irezumikc.com (but more contact info can be found there!) I have piercing's also. 15 total! 9 in my left ear, 2 in my right, 2 in my left nostril, my tounge and my navel. I only wear the navel, tounge and my first holes in my ears...which are guaged to 0's. So, yeah! That's about it!!! cheers! xxx T Silverose United Kingdom www.myspace.com/silverose65 SILVEROSE SAYS: Hello. You asked about body piercing's as well as tattoo's. Okay, well I'm most proud of my belly button piercing. It was a spur of the moment decision. We went out for the day to Bury st Edmunds, and my son had his lip pierced at a very busy tattooists [and piercings] in a side street. Very friendly owners, really nice, but I'm sorry I don't remember the name of the shop. My husband and my two young daughters watched, and I watched, took some pics, and when out of the shop shared once again my desire to have my belly button done. My son gave me the money, bless him, as an advanced birthday present, and so we all marched back in to the shop. I chose a purple crystal stud, then lay back showing the world my 'mummy belly' and so for my 41st birthday, I had my belly button pierced. I am very proud. I want to go back when I'm feeling full of courage and have a tattoo done on the top of my right bum cheek (hmmmm, maybe you didn't need to know that-lol) of the elven star and a crescent moon. The Elven star? Because that's a symbol of the faith I follow, it could equally be a pentacle, and the crescent moon? Because she is so beautiful. Didn't want a full moon, I thought it'd look like a cream bowling ball on my butt. I think that'll be another spur of the moment thing.
