Photos by Michael Lennertz and Jony Anderson of Joao_Caldara suspending in an inverse crucifixion at Petromodificpolis (RJ, Brasil) in 2006 with the help of Valnei. I know I’ve posted a few photos of suspension at this location, but I’m really in love with the setting!

My favorite thing about this photo of Efix that FREE took at the 2007 Milan Tattoo Convention is the expression on the guy’s face in the background!

Cia recently had this tattoo done on her ear by her coworker Jrgen at Pistolero Tattoo & Piercing in Boras, Sweden. The photo on the left is fresh, and on the right it’s healed.

This large electrocautery brand is freshly done in this photo, by Shawn O’Hare at Fillmore Tattoo and Piercing in Fillmore, CA. Visually I love the placement, but depending on the way she scars it might be hard to get it to heal evenly… (Note for the not-sharp-eyed: check out the microdermals too!).

Esh420, tattooed by Frank at Bent N Twizted in Willington, Connecticut, is permanently wired… This is the start of a sleeve as well! (Personally I drink NOS, which is probably the most unhealthy one on the market).

My old friend Thor at Yonge Street Tattoos in Toronto did this almost airbrushed looking blue, white, and black-fade tribal piece. This photo was taken two days after he did it.

This intense facial tattoo was done by Holly at CRTAT-2 in Geelong, Australia. You know, speaking as someone with a facial tattoo, I think it’s probably a lot more nervewracking doing a tattoo like this than getting it — if I was the artist I’d be terrified of making a mistake!

This spiral piece is on and was designed by Matt Crookshank… Check out his site for the rest of his tattoos and his art (and him trashing Canada-Denmark relations and having Ron Jeremy review the Toronto art scene) as well if you’re interested.

inVivo had these “earballs” (bead implants along the upper ridge of the ear) implanted by Steve at O-R-R in Antwerp, Belgium. Seeing this it certainly drives home that another route to ear pointing is implants; these are beads of course but there’s no reason why it couldn’t be done with carved silicone over several generations to bring it to the desired contour. That said, cartilage is very sensitive! (For BME/extreme members, click here to read the experience on this mod)

BRILLIANT!!!
This little piggy went to market,
This little piggy stayed at home,
This little piggy had roast beef,
This little piggy had none.
And this little piggy went…
“Wee wee wee” all the way home…
Tattooed by Rush at Freestyle Tattoo in Canberra, Australia (and based on an idea by carl-jay posted three days earlier) — Teulu adds, “the photo of this little piggy on my hairy foot was taken three days after the fact, and I still havent stopped laughing.”

Detritus sends in this unusual full-body concept tattoo that he photographed at the recent Skintech Expo 2007. I can just imagine the conversation with the tattoo artist…
Client: I want you to tattoo me so it looks like I’m wearing a leopard suit.
Tattoo Artist: Oh, like Tom Leppard? Yeah, I can tattoo you like a leopard.
Client: No, no, you don’t understand. I want to be tattooed so it looks like I’m wearing a leopard print spandex outfit. I don’t want to look like an animal — I want to look like a human dressed up as an animal.
Maybe the collar line and hand lines are just drawn on, I don’t know, but they definitely put a very different visual spin on it! In any case, hats off to the guy for choosing such a single-minded tattoo and running with it. The world most definitely needs more people with faux leopard suits, be they suits or be they skin.
