Nope, it’s not a “summoning spell” cast by Harry Potter (1, 2, 3), it’s a Praying Mantis tattoo by Ken of Skin Flix Tattoos, Brunswick, Ohio.

That better.
YES. Mantids are the best.
Oh wow, she looks a LOT like somebody I know!

It’s nice to see work from my hometown being recognized, especially since it’s a relatively small suburb of cleveland.
Beautiful tattoo on a beautiful woman!

Linda. Bela. Beautiful. Gorgeous.
so beautiful. and after sex she eats you. also nice
Incredibly sexy!
i dont liked the angle would rather have seen it head thats just me
Really lovely tattoo and girl, but there’s no need to suck in the stomach :/
my tattoo is in a similar spot but lower… and it was most painful towards the top of it.
that must’ve killed. props, it looks hot.
Hubba hubba
Far too skinny, I hate it when you can see the ribcage and hipbones, it’s terrifying. The way she sucks in her stomach reminds me of the girls on those pro-ana communities. Give me a girl with a couple of curves any day, mmm.
OT: Lovely tattoo, I really love the placement :)
Awesome tattoo, gorgeous girl! Love this photo.
Can’t we play nice?
She’s arching back a tad bit that’s why you can see her ribs.
But I love love love her fair skin and how great the linework looks against it.
Favorite picture of the year by far.
“No, we can’t take a picture of just the tattoo itself! The rest of me has to be in it. Oh, and topless, too. Oh, and let me make a “sexy” pose. Yes, this photo is just about the tattoo.”
Attention whore spotted!
I agree with Bleck, this would have been a much better photo if she was making a non-sexy pose, and we couldn’t see her face, and she was wearing a shirt over her tattoo.
Some girls need so much attention, geeze!
bleck and criss, shut the hell up.
I think it’s funny- I never even knew this was modblogged until just now- This photo was from a recent shoot at the time, and the photographer wasn’t TRYING to just take a photo of the tattoo :)
