Maybe the friendliest Suicide Girl to date, along with one of the hottest!

Suicide Girls are, generally, very friendly models. Girls who truly appreciate their fans, and relish in the fact that the fans are the ones that "make or break" each of the photo sets they submit. Almost without fail, SGs are humble and demure in most cases. With all this being said, probably one of the most thankful and friendly SGs, and also very new to the "official" SG title, is Phecda Suicide. Besides possessing one of the most amazingly sexy bodies you will see at SuicideGirls, she is very down to earth, approachable, and all in alll, just a very rad chick. After finding some time in her very busy schedule to answer questions of InkQuisite Beauty, an interview with her is finally ready to post. If you're a member of SG, keep your eyes peeled. Phecda has a new set in the works, and there is talk on her SG blog of a video "documenting" her incredible breasts. And if you don't belong to SG... SHAME ON YOU!


Name: Phecda Suicide
Age: 24
Measurements: 34, 26, 35
Location: Ohio
Website (MySpace, Facebook, etc): www.myspace.com/phecdasuicide

CoI: Thanks for taking the time to answer some questions. How are you today? 
Phecda: I’m great!

CoI: How old were you when you first got into tattoos and/or piercings?
Phecda: I was 18 for my first tattoo, my 18th birthday actually and my ears were re-pierced when I was a sophomore in high school.

CoI: What got you interested in them?
Phecda: I always thought tattoos were an awesome portrayal of a person through art and body modification.

CoI: How many do you currently have and where?
Phecda: I currently have 14, on feet, ribs, forearm, arm, chest and back.

CoI: What is your favorite style of tattoos?
Phecda: I wouldn’t necessarily say I have a favorite considering I think that tattoos are more about the art and self-expression, but I love anything unique and colorful.

CoI: Do you have a favorite?
Phecda: My favorite tattoo is either my half sleeve- with all of my favorite 80’s cartoon villains or the owl on my back.

CoI: How do you find people react to your tattoos?
Phecda: Usually people are very accepting and interested in my tattoos, but every now and then you get someone who just finds it completely taboo and looks down on it.

CoI: Do you subscribe to any tattoo publications?
Phecda: I do not.

CoI: Have you attended any tattoo conventions? If so Which one(s)?
Phecda: No, but I will be attending Hell City this year.

CoI: Do you find that you prefer guys with tattoos?
Phecda: Not really, tattoos are awesome, but it’s not something that is a requirement for me. But then again, my fiancée is pretty tattooed 

CoI: Is there any place you would never consider getting a tattoo or piercing on your body?
Phecda: I don’t think I would ever get my underarms or throat tattooed. I’m actually not a big fan of piercings, so probably no more piercings for me either!

CoI: You model at SuicideGirls.com, as well. How did you find out about that website?
Phecda: I discovered SG through my fiancée.

CoI: Were you nervous to post pics there initially?
Phecda: Not really, it was something fun

CoI: Do family and friends know you post there?
Phecda: Yes, I’m very open and honest about what I do when it comes to my family.

CoI: I know from prior dealing with posting pics at sites (one of my exes did), 
that along with complimentary comments from others, some negative ones are sent as well. 
How do you deal with rude, obnoxious, and sometimes just mean comments from others?
Phecda: Laugh it off to be honest. It’s not worth my time to fret about it.

CoI: Have you ever met fans face-to-face?
Phecda: Yes at a few SG parties.

CoI: I am assuming you know of Amina Munster from SG obtaining the copyright for her chest piece, after she saw a guy had the EXACT same piece put on his chest. What are your feelings on that?
Phecda: I say good for her! Tattoo copying is not cool even though some people think it should be considered a form of flattery.

CoI: Do you have any favorite models of your own from SG?
Phecda: Of course

CoI: Any immediate plans for more ink and/or piercings?
Phecda: More ink, sleeve is in the work and chest piece is being planned right now. Piercings- nope.

CoI: Other than tattoos, do you have any other interests or hobbies you are willing to divulge?
Phecda: I enjoy reading and watching documentaries on serial killers.

CoI: I would like to thank you for you time. Its always nice to see the thoughts of a beautiful, tattooed pin-up girl. 
One last question... other than SG, are blog followers able to find pics of you anywhere else that you would like to promote?
Phecda: Other than Metal Ink in the future month or so, not at the moment 

No tattoos? Still a SG through and through in my book!

So, there are those that are under the impression a model HAS to have tattoos, and a lot of them to be a true Suicide Girl. Like that is what constitutes a true SG. I, on the other hand, disagree. Its about an attitude that comes through in a model's pictures. An attitude of confidence, sexiness, and the kind of "kick ass and take names" girl that actually epitomizes the SG. Keeping that in mind, today I give you JEMerlies. A sexy, crazy hot model, who is actually our first "HOPEFUL" we have featured. She is beautiful, smart, and ridiculously sexy. If this girl isn't a SG, there is no justice in this world.....

Name: JEMerlies

Age: 25

Measurements: 36-29-36

Location: Louisville, KY

Website (MySpace, Facebook, etc): http://suicidegirls.com/members/JEMerlies/

CoI: Thanks for taking the time to answer some questions. How are you today?

JEM: I am wonderful today! Thanks for showcasing me on your blog

CoI: How old were you when you first got into tattoos and/or piercings?

JEM: Well, if you count the ear piercings, that was in 2nd grade, but I got my nose pierced as a present for my 21st birthday.

CoI: What got you interested in them?

JEM: It was actually my interest in Suicide Girls that made me realize how beautiful I thought piercings were and got me into thinking about them on my body. That, and the boyfriend at the time was very enthusiastic as well ;)

CoI: How many do you currently have and where?

JEM: Currently the ears, nose and nipples are pierced, no tattoos as of yet, but three of them running through my brain. I like the idea of having them where only people who get really close to you (or the subscribers to SG I guess!) get to see them, and they are like a fun secret that you have.

CoI: What is your favorite style of tattoos?

JEM: Tattoos are very personal to the individual, but I would have to say I prefer ones with bright colors and a story behind them.

CoI: How do you find people react to your tattoos?

JEM: Well, like I said, I am the oddball at this point with no tattoos, but with the nose ring, which is the most visible of my piercings, I find that a lot of the time people won’t notice that I have it pierced for months, since I usually just wear a stud, and then one day the light will hit it just right and it will surprise them, but most people are pretty cool with it (even in the office setting!). The nipples always seem to catch boys by surprise, and I think sometimes it puts them off their guard on how to deal with them if they haven’t been with a girl with piercings before, like they might hurt me too much, or that because I have them they SHOULD try to hurt me!

CoI: Do you subscribe to any tattoo publications?

JEM: Subscriptions require money of which I have none ;)

CoI: Have you attended any tattoo conventions? If so which one(s)?

JEM: Nope, none yet.

CoI: Do you find that you prefer guys with tattoos?

JEM: I really do anymore. I mean, again, it totally depends on the tat and the personality, but I do tend to prefer guys that like the style of tattoos, and have put a lot of thought into what they have done.

CoI: Is there any place you would never consider getting a tattoo or piercing on your body?

JEM: Well, tattoos- probably nowhere really visible like on the face or anything, but piercings I really like anywhere! Obviously for work reasons I can’t HAVE them everywhere, but I think the only thing that would prevent me from a piercing are the ones that the body tends to naturally reject… I see no reason in getting something done that my body won’t agree with, and any good piercing artist you go to will consider these when they work with you.

CoI: You model at SuicideGirls.com, as well. How did you find out about that website?

JEM: I originally found out about the website in its early years from guy friends in college who were in awe. Back then it was so different, but in many ways I wish I had the nerve to try back then- it would have been a lot easier to get the official title of Suicide Girl then! I am technically still a Hopeful right now, and there are just so many of us out there who want to be a part of the site, and have put out such great sets, not to mention the already established girls- I have no idea how the staff is able to make their decisions half the time!

CoI: Were you nervous to post pics there initially?

JEM: Oh, of course, but it was something I had wanted to do for so long I figured I should go ahead and do it now while I still had the chance!

CoI: Do family and friends know you post there?

JEM: A lot of my friends know, but NO, my family does not. As close as we are, there are many topics that fall under the “don’t ask, don’t tell” school of thought. Although I am happy with it, and love the idea of it, I can’t say that I think my family would feel the same, so what they don’t know won’t hurt them ;)

CoI: I know from prior dealing with posting pics at sites (one of my exes did), that along with complimentary comments from others, some negative ones are sent as well. How do you deal with rude, obnoxious, and sometimes just mean comments from others?

JEM: Well, since I am still fairly new, I haven’t had to deal with too much of that, thankfully! But you do initially feel really sensitive about things people can say, that to them, are really just responses to some far away set of some random girl, but to you it is very personal! Constructive criticism on the other hand, is always appreciated, because everyone wants to get better at what they do!

CoI: Have you ever met fans face-to-face?

JEM: No, not yet, but if there is one thing I am learning about myself it is that I should never say never, or else it almost becomes an absolute sure thing!

CoI: I am assuming you know of Amina Munster from SG obtaining the copyright for her chest piece, after she saw a guy had the EXACT same piece put on his chest. What are your feelings on that?

JEM: Well, on the one hand, it is really flattering that someone loved her artwork that much that they wanted to preserve it on themselves for the rest of their lives, but I can also see her point, and her desire to keep what is hers HERS. All sorts of intellectual property is able to be copyrighted or patented though, so why not tattoos? If we accept it as the art form that it can be, it should definitely be something that can be protected in the same way that other works of art are.

CoI: Do you have any favorite models of your own from SG?

JEM: My favorite of all time is definitely Quinne- I think she is absolutely gorgeous and just the definition of a Suicide Girl. Mary is also a classic SG that I really respect. Of the newer generation of girls, I am pretty obsessed with Sylvia and AnnaLee at the moment.

CoI: Any immediate plans for more ink and/or piercings?

JEM: My hope is that my set will be bought shortly and I will go ahead and get my first tattoo in celebration of becoming an official SG! I am also debating getting the belly button done, now that I am older and it will come across less as a Senior Year Spring Break rebellion than it would have before… we will just have to see… and hey, my birthday is coming up soon!

CoI: Other than tattoos, do you have any other interests or hobbies you are willing to divulge?

JEM: I love to sing and act and am a huge classic movie buff, as well as a musical theatre nut. When I am not indulging myself in those interests, I am usually reading, spending far too much time watching crime dramas on TV, or taking off for a weekend getaway to visit with friends and family- love to roadtrip in my VW Beetlebug!!!

A conversation with a classic SG.... meet Kraven!

A jewel from South Africa

For your reading pleasure today, we have an alternative model straight out of South Africa. Blessed with incredibly sexy eyes, a killer attitude, and posting some of the hottest pic sets on SuicideGirls.com is Tarion. She was kind enough to take the time for these interview question and send them to me from her home in Johannesburg. So let's get to know a little bit more about Tarion Suicide...


Name:Tarion Suicide
Age: I'll never tell :P
Measurements: 33/26/33 (inches)
Location:Johannesburg South Africa
Website (MySpace, Facebook, etc): For now I'm just on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/profile.php?ref=profile&id=1174673715

CoI: Thanks for taking the time to answer some questions. How are you today?
TS: I'm feeling good, just come back from three weeks of partying round South Africa :D
CoI: WOW!!! Three weeks huh? I'm a big fan of a woman who can take her relaxation time serious!!!


CoI: How old were you when you first got into tattoos and/or piercings? 
TS: Oh I've always loved the alternative look ever since I was little. Started bugging my parents to let me have a tat from the age of 14. They only gave in on my 18th birthday though. Still it was cool of them to pay for my very first tat.
CoI: Yeah, I would agree, very cool of your parents. I actually have a friend whose little girl is very much in love with the alternative look as well, and she is only like 2 years old!


CoI: What got you interested in them? 
TS: I think I loved being different and doing what the masses didn't approve of. Always had a bit of a rebellious streak I suppose. Its changed now though. I see tattoos as art, and I love decorating my body with them.


CoI: How many do you currently have and where? 
TS: I currently have 6. They are on my ankle, wrist, right side, right lower back, bottom middle back and my whole right shoulder going onto my back. Shoulder tat is not nearly finished though. Its in a constant state of flux. It should end up being a full sleeve and then going down my side and onto my back. I want to integrate most of my tats to make one nice big one lol.


CoI: What is your favorite style of tattoos? 
TS: Well I've been through a few tattoo style phases. When I was younger it was all tribal and celtic, now I've moved away from that towards a more realistic style. I used to only want black, now I'm dying for loads of colour. I've always liked the whole nature theme though. I'm loving my ivy and cherry blossoms. Funny how your tastes change as you get older ;)


CoI: Do you have a favorite? 
TS: I'd say my latest shoulder tat is my favourite. Its just so beautifully done, and when it is eventually finished I think its going to be really outstanding. I think I have the coolest tattoo artist ever at the moment. Brent Goudie of Rogue Ink is truly an artist ;)


CoI: How do you find people react to your tattoos? 
TS: Actually most people like them. And if they don't they tend to keep it to themselves lol. My mom loves them, and my work collegues are fascinated by them. I think a lot of people look at me and wonder what it would be like for them if they had one.


CoI: Do you subscribe to any tattoo publications? 
TS: I'm embarrassed to say I don't. But I see so many on Suicide Girls and my friends that I don't think I'm missing out too much. Also the internet is a wonderful thing :D


CoI: Have you attended any tattoo conventions? If so Which one(s)? 
TS: I've only actually been to one and that was Ink and Iron. There aren't very many tattoo conventions that I know of in Johannesburg sadly. All the ones I'm aware of tend to happen in Cape Town. I'd love to go to more though. Its such a good vibe.


CoI: Do you find that you prefer guys with tattoos? 
TS: Oh yes definitely! I find tattoos incredibly sexy.

CoI: Is there any place you would never consider getting a tattoo or peircing on your body? 
TS: The souls of my feet, because I've heard that it is insanely uncomfortable and on my face. I love my tats but its also fun to hide them sometimes, and see peoples surprise when they discover what you look like underneath the work clothes ;)


CoI: You model at SuicideGirls.com, as well. How did you find out about that website? 
TS: Oh I came across it years ago when a male friend of mine was raving about Apnea, and ex Suicide Girl. I fell in love with her pics and just had to find out about the site. I always fantasized about becoming an SG but had no idea how to go about it. In a very happy twist of fate I hooked up with Talamia a few years later and since we are both mad about Suicide Girls, it became our project.
CoI: Ahhhh, yes, Apnea. She was a classic SG for sure. 


CoI: Were you nervous to post pics there initially? 
TS: Actually no. I was so excited I couldnt wait for them to go up. I guess I had been wanting it for so long and the fact that I might actually get what I always wanted far outshadowed any nervousness I had.


CoI:  Do family and friends know you post there? 
TS: Most of my friends know I'm an SG, in fact a lot of my friends are now either SGs or Hopefuls haha. My family knows that I'm an alternative Pin Up model but they don't know all the details. Perhaps one day I'll tell them but for now I'm happy with the way things are ;)


CoI: I know from prior dealing with posting pics at sites (one of my exes did),  that along with complimentary comments from others, some negative ones are sent as well. How do you deal with rude, obnoxious, and sometimes just mean comments from others? 
TS: Well I try not to take it personally. I mean you really can't please all the people all the time. I'll never be every ones cup of tea. I just try to ignore them, unless its constructive critisism. I'm happy to say I get a huge majority of really awesome comments so its easier to ignore the negative ones.


CoI: Have you ever met fans face-to-face? 
TS: Yes a few times. I must say its really strange. They tend to treat you as if your someone famous, and I don't see myself that way at all. One guy actually wrote in his blog after meeting me " She was so nice, almost like she doesn't know she is a celebrity". I laughed when I saw that. Its always a nice feeling when someone recognises me though. I met a Hopeful recently who came up to me and told me that my Swingers Club set was the reason she decided to be an SG. I actually felt honoured. Its a weird feeling being someone who affects other peoples actions like that.
CoI: Well the Swingers Club set was an amazing set of pics. I would think that is a very cool feeling to know you have influenced others. 

CoI: I am assuming you know of Amina Munster from SG obtaining the copyright for her chest piece, after she saw a guy had the EXACT same piece put on his chest. What are your feelings on that?
TS: I have to say for people serious about tattoos, its a really personal thing. Your tattoos are part of who you are, and they depict aspects of yourself. I could honestly say that while its flattering having people love your tats, I think I would also be kinda mad if I saw someone with the exact same tat as me. I mean that tattoo has meaning for me, and it was very specifically chosen for that reason.

CoI: Do you have any favorite models of your own from SG? 
TS: Oh there are so many. I'll always say Apnea (ex SG but the coolest alternative model alive), Nena, Sliver, Rashel, and of course the gorgeous SA SGs who I love working with Lumo, Hadess and Diaz. They actually ooze sex appeal :D

CoI: Any immediate plans for more ink and/or piercings? 
TS: Oh yes loads haha. Like I said before I'm going to extend my shoulder tat to become a full sleeve, and then extend it down my side and across my back :D Might take me a while but its going to be kick ass when its done!! And after that probably a lot more. Its actually an addiction. :D

CoI: Other than tattoos, do you have any other interests or hobbies you are willing to devulge? 
TS: Ah well I'm part of a new Burlesque troupe. I love to dance and I love being sexy so I thought why not combine the two and make some money at the same time :D We have been working on our dances for months, and are going to start performing early next year again. The troupe is called Circus Gothica and our aim is to include other interesting alternative acts in between our dances so its got something of an alternative carnival vibe. We have some very talented people involved so its really exciting.
CoI: I think Circus Gothica soubds like a very cool vibe. It seems to be an incredible idea that is destined for success.

CoI: I would like to thank you for you time. Its always nice to see the thoughts of a beautiful, tattooed pin-up girl.  One last question... other than SG, are blog followers able to find pics of you anywhere else that you would like to promote?
TS: At the moment I don't have my pics up anywhere else. I'm focusing on Circus Gothica right now, but I might branch out in the future to other sites like Zivity when I have time.


CoI: Tarion, thanks so much for taking the time to answer these questions all the way from South Africa. You are surely one of the SGs that make the price of membership well worth it. I have sincerely enjoyed your answers and the chance to get to know you on a little more of a personal level. I wish you all the luck with Circus Gothica, and any future sets posted at SuicideGirls.com.

A New, Fresh Look

With the close of 2009 a mere hours away now, I thought it was a good time to start a new blog focusing on a couple of my favorite things... pin-up models & tattoos. The fact that these two things can easily be combined with the existence of some of the most beautiful women who have chose to use their bodies as a canvas for art & self-expression, is just way too convenient for me.

With 2010 approaching I am hoping to use this forum as a means that others, who appreciate these womens' beauty, can find out more about these girls. In doing so I will be posting interviews with some of my, and hopefully soon to be your, favorite models. I will try and pull in some extra help (with some assistance from the good ol' internet and the friendly community you can find here) and publish dispatches from tattoo conventions. I'm thinking maybe some posts about trends in the industry, news about shops, some dispatches from road trips me and/or my friends take (hopefully with some aspect of tattooing or pin-ups in there), but mainly I will be using this as a place for publishing interviews and pics of some of today's most beautiful pin-up girls. Who knows,maybe I can ask one of them to find some time and write a post for the blog here... they seem to be some of the most friendly people you can know.

So sit back and enjoy. If you have any suggestions please feel free to comment here and I will take your words into consideration. If you know of a pin-up, or a girl who just has that "look" and think she might be willing to be interviewed, pass the blog onto her and have her contact me. I am very open to giving the "amateur" girls some exposure here as well.

So, until next time, when my first interview will be posted... take care!!!!!!
