Biomech Leg Tattoo

By Shannon • Jun 13th, 2006 • Category: ModBlog

Wow, I totally love this bio-mech leg piece by my old friend Chris Govier (at Dragon Ink in Swansea)… For the sharp eyed, you’ll also note that he has a skeletal leg tattooed on the other side!

    Amazing work. It’s one of the only biomech pieces I’ve seen that really looks REAL. I mean the skin almost looks like it’s naturally peeled away and that is his real leg.

    As someone who just got their feet x-rayed today, I’d like to see the other side!! This leg is particularly great as well.

    Awesome work… I love these kind of tats…. There was one dude I saw ages ago who had something similar but on his back… It was like the skin was braced open and you could see clockwork cogs inside… It looked Amazing

    that’s a great piece, though i’ve seen something very similar a while back. i save good looking biomech because i’m going to be having quite a lot done on myself so i actually have the reference photo if anyone’s interested (though i may have found it on bme a long time ago if you really want to dig)

    I seriously thought “prosthetic” for a split second when I first saw this!

    I have to say, I think the ankle and foot are my favorite part — so intricate!
