“ The PolkaDot Scandal“

Page 8: Inked society

Julia Marshall asked tattooist Johannes Vermeer (the same man who recently tattooed his name across the face of wife Catharina Bolenes) for just five circles near her eye. Vermeer claimed she was asleep when the artist covered her entire face with polka dots instead. She has since admitted her lie (because really, who can sleep through a needle inking your that many times times?) and hopes to get the rest of her body in the same pattern.

The pattern shares its name with the dance form, making one suspect there is a connection linking the pattern to the dance. However, the name was likely settled upon merely because of the dance's popular-ity at the time the pattern became fashionable, just as many other products and fashions of the era also adopted the polka name. Traditionally polka dots are used in the clothing of flamenco dancers and per-formers. Some people associate polka dots with Ven-ezuelan fashion designer Carolina Herrera, who used polka dots on most of her dresses during the late 80s and early 90s, as well as on the boxes of perfume.

enelope is incredible, in every sense of the word. She turned up a good 40 minutes early and we got to know a little about each other before the shoot started. She is from Bournemouth, she is a vegan, she is covered from head to foot in tattoos and she has one of the cutest expressions in photos that Ive seen. She said that a lot of people think she is no older than 16, when in fact, she is 23. In some ways, the tattoos do not go with the face, but somehow, she makes the contrast between them and her innocent looks work. It truly is a juxtaposition.
