Family Ink

In this photo you see four family members — a father, an older brother, and twin younger brothers — all of which have a Roman Numeral “III” tattooed on them. If you look carefully you can see that the shading is slightly different on all of them. The father has all three digits tattooed black. The oldest brother has the first one tattooed black, and the older twin has the second digit black, and the youngest twin has his third digit tattooed black. What a wonderful way to record ones’ bond in flesh.

You may remember the great large scale brandings that I posted by Noah Babcock of Evolution — St. Fuck You (haha) recently sent me in these amazing shots of his healed Easter Island Moai calf sleeve, also branded by Noah.

Those aren’t cheek piercings!

…they’re Danae’s 16ga dermal anchor cheeks (to avoid the complications of, say, biting the internal beads and chipping teeth like can happen with standard cheek piercings), done by Tone at Fallen Angel in Citrus Heights, CA.

Sometimes I worry that people will get bored because I post work by a number of artists quite regularly, but then I realize that I don’t particularly care because I post what I like, not what I think will generate viewers… And I remember how mad I was when public schools started switching to “everyone should win a prize” instead of “the best people get the prizes” — so I again bring you some wonderful geometric work on Davy by Vincent Hocquet from Beautiful Freak Tattoo in St. Idesbald, Belgium.

I continue to greatly admire his skill.

Is this guy an animal lover, or are animals just really drawn to stretched piercings?

"Originality’s Not A Curse"

Monday July 30th, 2007 @ 10:58 AM

Filed under: Body Modification, Tattoos, Text

Her tattoo is actually taken from a Bayside song (Head on a Plate), but I think it suits ModBlog just fine as well! I also appreciate the irony of getting a tattoo about originality that’s a copy of someone else’s lyrics… But sometimes others find the right way to say what you’re already feeling.

Dermal Punched Ear… On a cat!

Sunday July 29th, 2007 @ 7:46 PM

Filed under: Body Modification, Kids and Animals

Before you freak out about this 2ga punched cartilage on this cat’s ear, which was done by a Connecticut veterinarian under anesthesia, please read Chelsea’s explanation of what you’re seeing —

“This was done while she was under anesthesia because she was a member of an established feral cat colony that was going to be released back into the wild. The holepunch was supposed to signify that she has been spayed — they do this to control the population, as the cats usually are completely wild and un-adoptable. She was an anamoly and decided that she liked being a pet better!”

No offense intended but I suspect they are high. Don’t worry, though, I’m high* too, so they’re in good company.
