A Dresden tattoo artist’s catalog of hand-drawn designs, each tattooed on one person only.

Why it surfaced

Van Raabe turns exclusivity into a clear artistic rule: once a design is tattooed, it goes into the archive and never returns to skin. The site also explains scale with an EC card, catalogs styles and body placements, and sells related linocuts, prints, and originals—an unusually complete, personal presentation for a tattoo studio.

Thirty Patents for the Grave

August 13’s newborn domains include 30 safety-coffin patents, lost notices for false teeth and a box of hair, short films playing in 100 Tokyo taxis, and a Queensland river view arranged gauge by gauge downstream.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-13 Domain Arrivals issue.
