Raging Stallion Stirs Up An “Ink Storm”

We remember meeting this guy at the Spike in New York back when we were taking our first little bitty baby steps into the world of sleaze who told us he was "into tattoos" before rolling up his sleeve and proudly displaying—gasp!—this sort of tribal motif that went all the way around his bicep. (This was in the days when the most cutting edge design in West Chelsea was the Pottery Barn outlet on the corner of Ninth Avenue and you could still get an after-hours blowjob in a deserted storefront on 22nd Street, which should give you an idea of how long ago that happened and how blushing and innocent we were.)

Flash forward a decade or two and new Raging Stallion imprint Screaming Eagle has released "Ink Storm", director Jake Deckard's tattoo-themed raunchfest that's not so much about a bunch of porn badboys showing off their ink as it is about personal expression:

"Each of these men are rare. They feel the need to express their individuality in animal ways. They are made of flesh, and live on the edge. Hungry to be touched, explored, and pushed to their limits, each of these pairs of men find themselves in situations that allow them to release themselves and be free. They know sometimes you have to suffer for beauty. They are the wild boys and they are horny fuckers on the lookout for action.

Purple (and black) prose aside, the movie is also a showcase for incredibly sexy porn newbie (and former Mr. German Leather) Logan McKree, whose skull-to-knees tat ensemble might be a little distracting if we weren't already so distracted by his perfectly mouthwatering dick. And he's helped along in that aforementioned quest for freedom and release by Raging Stallion standbys Tamas Eszterhazy and Tober Brandt, furry Fleshbot crush object Steve Cruz, first-time director Deckard himself, and the always adorable Cory Koons, who we just don't seem to see enough of these days.

Whether you're a bodyart fan or not, there's some legitimately hot mansex action going on here—even if squeamish types might want to fast forward through the scene where Montaz Morgan jerks off his freshly tattooed cock (that whole cum-on-an-open-wound thing's gotta sting). And the emphasis on hot tat-on-tat action sets "Ink Storm" apart from the rest of the stuff the Raging Stallion stable has been putting out these days. (Though since pretty much every single one of their performers seems to have tattoos anyway, maybe it's not as much of a departure for them after all.)

Either way, it's definitely one of our favorite releases of the season, if only because it reminded us of our trick armband tattooed friend again after all these years. He must be pushing 60 by now ... wonder how well it held up?
