I’ve seen the piece before (and maybe even posted it), but I quite like seeing this skin removal scarification on Rumiko, done by Ryan during his Japanese tour, with the subject of the portrait.

Yes, this is the current BME cover as I write this. Thanks to Noir Vixen for sending in her star tattoo by Anna McClain at Saint Tattoo in Knoxville, TN.

I don’t know if the falling girl is Halsey or at least Halsey-inspired, but the lyrics on the banner are from the Elliott Smith song Happiness. Tattoo by Kurt Fagerland at Cort’s Royal Ink in Patchougue, Long Island, New York.
but I knew that he’d never forget her
while her memory worked in reverse
to keep her safe from herself
and oh my, nothing else could’ve been done
she made her life a lie

So I’m pretty sure I’d quickly develop a crush on this beauty from Almaty, Kazakhstan. Seriously, Filthee, wow, great photos in this set. Oh, and that’s twenty-one 22ga needles by the way.

I’m not sold on the facial hair, glasses, and sort of combination vampire-slash-Julian from Trailer Park Boys* look, but other than that, I think I could handle having this dude’s job.
* Sorry, maybe that’s too Canadian a joke?

I quite like siobhan’s latest sleeve work, done by Diau-An at Taiwan Tattoo in Kaohsiung. Great art, totally sexy and totally tough. There are more pictures on her page and in today’s main update.
Anyway guys and girls, sorry for the limited posts today but I’m exhausted and going to bed.

I’ll argue that the Firebird logo is one of the greatest logos — let alone factory-provided full hood splash logos — on any car, ever. I guess this customer of Shawn at The Ink Spot in Ottawa, Canada agrees?

So far I’ve heard guesses ranging from nine to a young-looking sixteen. Personally my guess goes in the fourteen year old range, but I’m terrible at guessing ages. For all I know the dude is forty. Of course, as I mentioned on my personal blog, my meds are a little off right now.

Boombox tattoo by Jeremiah Mcabe in Tribal Image Kustom Tattoos in Michigan. It’s looking a little rough in this first stage outline, but I like the general idea.

I’m thinking that either this is some sort of THE MAN; THE LEGEND theme for women, or that i say death’s boyfriend has a really poor sense of direction. Tattoo by Mark Lachenbacher at Marky Marks in Saugerties, NY.

So… If I’m to believe tattoo iconography, “anti-racism” is represented by a lollipop (ok, that’s a little silly, but I guess it makes general sense), and “Christianity” is represented by a grenade — as David Rees put it, “Thank you God for your healing gift of religion. Monotheistic religion has always brought out the best in us humans; thank You so much for the idea of a vengeful supernatural entity who rewards people in the afterlife. That shit makes a lot of sense.”
Left tattoo by Krash in Denver (on Vomitrocious), and the other piece, “Victory In Christ”, is by Manuel Cruz at Needlez N’ Threadz in Norco, CA.
