Don’t Run With Wooden Stakes


You know what one of the best things about working at BME is? Occasionally, you’ll look at your e-mail inbox and see an e-mail with a subject line like “Lesbian Vampires.” Under normal circumstances, this would be nothing — probably spam advertising a Transylvanian boner pill or perhaps some sort of zaftig pyramid scheme (“The bloodthirsty queen of the island of Lesbos would like to lend you some money!”). But here? You see that title and you think to yourself, “You know what? I bet I’m gonna open this up and there are gonna be some lesbian vampires in there,” and sure enough, bam. Lesbian vampires. What a country.

Artist Update! This fine piece of work was done by Cere Kyle Cotterman at Ink Revolution Studios in Kingsport, Tennessee.

  1. I really love the way this was done.
    The image really isn’t something I would put on myself- but it looks really good on her (him?)
    But again, it looks REALLY good, imo.

  3. bangin jam dope skeen! i would have just made a few minor adjustments for my own personal taste, such as the vampire would be rubbing the girl’s vagina and the girl would be rubbing her own breast instead of visa versa

  5. This is the most amazing tattoo I’ve ever seen – colour portraits never turn out this way and the shading is so delicate.

    The subject matter isn’t something I’d get done myself, but the tattooing is magnificent.

  9. Yeah, count me as another that really wants to know the artist. Amazing work. When I first glanced at it I thought it was a high quality print taped onto someone.

  11. Not that I actually doubt it, but I’m having a hard time believe that’s a tattoo. Wow,

    Please update with artist information if you have/get it.

  15. That tattoo is amazingly well-done!

    I’m curious as to whether the owner makes an effort to hide it in public, because of the huge negative reaction I can imagine that would generate, say, anywhere with children/adults/people who don’t like explicit vampire erotica. I mean, to each their own, but how does one explain that tattoo to one’s kid?

  27. To see this and have someone say its a tattoo and not a drawing or picture is almost unbelievable. The attention to detail is amazing and i especially like the heavy white outlines, they really make it pop out. And obviously the obligatory ogle at the hotness o____0

  47. The pink shorts make it that much better.

    #47 a tit and a breast are the same thing, using them in a sentence like that doesn’t make sense.

    Beautiful work, though I’m not much for the subject.

  53. That’s incredible shading – incredible in the original sense of “almost unbelievable”. Looks fantastic.

  57. Unbelievable! This has such crazy detail and gentle shading. I laughed when Cere took credit, but laughed even harder when someone congratulated him on a job well done…

    I can understand how the AWESOMENESS of my presence can lead to delusions and you can mix that up.
