Homina Homina

This man is 12 feet tall, and was carved out of pure granite, by Jesus, under supervision of the Justice League of America, for some reason. About his tattoos, he says, they “started off as just a tribal sun in the middle of my back, and then it grew wings, then went down the left arm, and a few months later down the right arm. Next up will be the left and right thumb and wrapping around the wrists, about four inches up the arm.”

Sigh. If anyone needs me, I’ll be doing three- or nine-thousand sit-ups and eating raw eggs by the handful, shell included. Have a good night, ModBlog, and we’ll see you in the morning.

I’m really liking Trystan’s new blackwork neck tattoo with gray flowers, done pretty quickly over about two and a half hours by Paul Wren at Th-inker Tattoo in Melbourne, Florida.

Eyebending Tribal Suit

By Shannon • Apr 24th, 2008 • Category: ModBlog

This tattoo is nuts! If you look at just one small section of it, it’s just boring neotribal that’s been done a zillion times, but as a full body suit, it’s pretty wild looking! It looks like a fabric print I think… (I’ve seen closeup photos by the way, so it’s definitely real if you’re suspicious).

Paddling

In order to get you nice and relaxed for the extremely depraved tattoo I am about to post, a nice photo of some tribal blackwork done at 21st Century Body Art in York, UK.

My Tattoo Hates Your Tattoo

By Shannon • Feb 26th, 2008 • Category: ModBlog

Dustin says, “Circle-slash tribal club… I wear this badge proudly.”  Tattoo by Alie at The Shaman’s Den in Binghamton, NY, who I suspect has done an awful lot more of these tattoos, but without the circle-slash.
