Sorry — you know Mondays are a slow day for me… So I’ve just posted a few entries, and it’s better than nothing, right? Let me introduce you to Caracas, Venezuela’s Franklin Segovia (I think… unless I’ve read the email wrong and then that’s the tattoo artist). Click again for a face closeup.

If at first you don’t succeed…

If you don’t know why this is funny, go look up the meaning of the word in the tattoo below.

At least I’m predictable

Thanks to faithinpoison for getting me through another day of this lonely life.

Tattooed PowerPoint girls are cute…

Posted on March 28, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

…not that I know it isn’t on a guy who likes heels.

Check out this ultrageeky PowerPoint Logo Tattoo on DeKalb by Shane Willoughby at Sacred Heart in Atlanta, Georgia… You’d think I’d be jaded by now, having seen almost everything tattooed, but I have to admit that if you told me see this tattoo get submitted, I’d have expressed real disbelief.

Unusual Portrait Tattoos

Posted on March 28, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

And if the PowerPoint tattoo wasn’t unusual enough, here are a couple of surprise portrait tattoos. On the left is a self-portrait by Aaron Hernandez — literally a “surprise” portrait — and on the right is the start of liquidsin‘s tribute tattoo of Chris Burke (as in “Corky” from Life Goes On) by by Johnny from New Addiction Tattoos in Kalamazoo, MI.

So that’s what Spanish Joe Rogan looks like!

Posted on March 25, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

…And I guess the woman in the last picture is the Croatian Joe Rogan?

“Frente Al Miedo” is the Columbian franchise of Fear Factor. As you may remember, in 2003 Fear Factor featured play piercing, and I guess the franchisees are using the same idea.

What’s particularly interesting to me is that they filmed the Croatian and Columbian episodes with the same crew (and piercer) — and that this production happened not in either of those two countries, but in Buenos Aries, Argentina! Piercing was by Juan Manuel Burgos from Face Tattoo in BSAS (photo credit: wild skin).
