Using only black ink, Malaysian illustrator Kamwei Fong has created a menagerie of playful black cats. Despite their contextual isolation and uniform style, each of Fong’s cats display unique personalities: some are fluffed and puffed into self-contained balls; others look with curiosity or wariness at fish that dangle or waves that crash from the animals’ own tails. The artist builds each feline form using innumerable short thin lines, varying the density of the marks to create volume as well as a palpable sense of furriness.

In a delightful story picked up by the Total Tattoo news radar, Guinness World Records has recently declared Charlotte Guttenberg and her partner Chuck Helmke from Florida to be the world’s most tattooed senior citizens (and it was only 11 years ago that Charlotte got her first ink). The couple got together 10 years ago, having met in a tattoo studio. Their tattoos are mostly Asian spiritual in theme, and they are keen for the designs they each wear to tell their own stories. In press interviews, they said they planned to use the opportunities given to them by the Guinness titles to promote a better understanding of tattooed people, especially those of the older generation.
