A God Among Insects

Continuing on with the recent trend of excellent Marvel-themed tattoos we’ve been receiving, we’d be remiss if we didn’t share this X-Men sleeve by the good folks at both Tattoo Mania and Fine Line Tattoo, both conveniently located in The Netherlands! It’s always funny when we get similar pieces in a short span of time that were almost surely not influenced by one another—I guess once the idea’s out there in the ether…oh come on, you all saw Waking Life, didn’t you? No? Whatever.

Check out the remainder of this glorious mutantry, after the jump.

Sins of Fathers

Following up on last week’s various spider endeavors, Tye sends in these photos of his brother’s new Carnage tattoo, done by the great Lila Way at her own True Grit Tattoos in Burlington, Ontario. (The shop also houses familiar faces Greg Garrett, formerly of Way Cool Oakville, Franklin Reeves and Tom Brazda.) As for the tattoo, well, it’s expertly done, but isn’t it just begging to have that infernal symbiote bond with your precious lifeforce? Hey, priorities.



Welcome to the Future

Hey, nerds! (Kidding.) This great calf-piece (calf-sleeve? Reverse shorts? Leg warmer?) from Toronto’s Matt Ellis features various Marvel mutants fighting some wretched Sentinels, who are just throwing fire, trying to kill folks, and just generally shitting on everybody’s good time, because they’re dicks.

You know who isn’t a dick, though? Matt Ellis! He and George Brown, the gents behind Seven Crowns Tattoo, are hosting a gallery showing/sex party on Saturday, May 30, 2009, in scenic Toronto, Ontario, featuring work from several local tattoo artists! Information about the event is after the jump, as well as the remainder of the above leg warmer.

Burnt Man Walkin’

Pardon the glare, but I thought Justin’s new tattoo of Freak from the Spawn comics was really nicely done. But then again, I’m a sucker for pathologically insane characters that persuade hell-demons to murder for them. Or something. More photos, after the jump.

Maybe Daddy’ll Let You Drive

It may appear that good old Johnny Storm is staring longingly at the BMEzine.com watermark, or perhaps up into the sky, at the Skrulls, with disgust. But no, he just takes every opportunity he gets to show off that finely honed, supple buttocks. Yes, we get it. You’re very manly. Now stop licking your finger, poking it into one of your pecs and saying, “Oooh, caliente!” You’re not impressing anyone, Johnny.

(Tattoo by Mike Boseman.)
