John Waters, Eat Your Heart Out

There are very few people that can successfully pull of a pencil ‘stache without attracting the attention of Chris Hanson.  Salvador Dali did it, Raoul Julia was able to do it occasionally, Prince became a sex symbol with his, and of course John Waters has been rocking his for decades.  Now when many of us were kids, especially those of us with dads who had a mustache, a pencil could easily transform into a mustache.  Just stick it under your nose and curl your top lip.  It was the memory of doing that as a kid that led IAM: Ominous Angus to get this finger tattoo.  To him it’s a reminder to never grow too old.

Pulled Together

When it comes to body modification related activities, one of the most intimate would have to be a pulling between two people.  The transference of energy, coupled with the trust and reliance one has with their partner, make pulls like this remarkable.  Below we have Andru and his wife sharing a moment out on the Oregon coast.  The pull was facilitated by Eduardo Chavarria and it was the couple’s first pull together.

So happy together

Me and you and you and me
No matter how they throw the hooks, it has to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together

I can’t see me lovin’ nobody but you
For all my life
When you’re with me, baby the skies’ll be blue
For all my life

Here’s Oxi and Supa sharing a moment during their tandem suspension at the Kaptive8 Suspension Krew playground.

Fall Feathers

Can you believe we’re only a week away from the start of autumn?  Pretty soon the leaves will be changing colours, the birds will be flying south, and the temperatures will start to drop.  Now I’m one of those that loves this time of year, especially the leaves.  You don’t see much of it in a big city, but outside, where the trees abound, the display that mother nature puts on every year is amazing.  Which brings us to this tattoo by Grzegorz Latoch from Street Tattoo in Warsaw.  It’s a nice rich blend of colours that subtly evokes the arrival of fall.

Lazy Hazy Days

Summer workshopping with the 42 Suspension Group on what can only be described as a perfect day for suspensions. I can only imagine how wonderful these suspensions must have been for the people participating.

These are only a sample of the many suspensions held that day.  Check out the 42 Suspension Group gallery to see the rest.

If you’re undead, and you know it, clap your hands

There comes a time in every horror movie fan’s life that some of the details of certain movies blend together.  Unless it’s a really iconic scene, it’s easy to get confused when looking at a photo of a zombie and trying to place what film it’s from (or even if it is from a film).  I want to say this is a Fulchi zombie, but having seen so many over the years, I can’t place this particular member of the walking dead.

Hand on the Cross

If this looks familiar to you, it’s because Shannon first posted about this hand poked circle of life tattoo a few weeks back.  Back then it was just the outline, but since then handpoked master (that sounds dirty) Ferank has finished up the sacred geometry, and the result is breathtaking.  Oh, it should be noted that the cross was tattooed by someone else.
