The following photos were submitted by Alessandra Favoritto. This puts a very literally interpretation on “flying by the seat of your pants”!

I have mentioned Marc (Little Swastika) and his multi-person tattoos before — you can click here to see the first two (four?) that he did. Over four presumably epic sessions he’s completed his third double-canvas tattoo, which you can see below. It’s not uncommon for someone to get a tattoo of their partner’s name, or to get little matching tattoos with their best friend, but this takes it to a whole new level… It resculpts the body into something that doesn’t make sense on its own any more… It creates a world in which you are forever — like it or not — unified with another person. The bond is so extreme it’s almost mindboggling to think about… And heartbreaking to imagine what it would be like if the two were separated, be it by death or be it by the foibles of love. If things don’t work out, one is forever broken in half. And while you’re thinking about this, look carefully at the tattoo — it’s not just a tattoo that runs across the beast with two backs. The tattoo is designed to look it’s best only when the one is holding the other.
While the BME team works on finding proper staff for Modblog (now’s the time to send your resume I’m thinking), I’ll try and post at least one post a day to keep the wheels lubed. Speaking of lube, Jesse Star celebrated “The End of the World that never came” on December 21st by shoving his cock-n-balls behind his buddy Dub’s ear. Yes, I know, real mature. Way to respect an ancient and noble artform guys. Hahaha. Click the photo for a second, larger view of the implant under different lighting.
As one commentor wrote elsewhere, “So, Dub, does this mean ur officially a dick head?”
The following photo was submitted anonymously and didn’t include any details. I thought it was an interesting dotwork design. The popularity of dotwork seems to have really grown in the last year or so (or at least that’s been my observation while moderating photos on BME). It’s definitely something that requires a skilled hand.
This piece reminds me a lot of my Spirograph that I had as a kid. I loved that thing!
