I’m one tough Gazookus
Which hates all Palookas
Wot ain’t on the up and square.
I biffs ‘em and buffs ‘em
And always out roughs ‘em
But none of ‘em gets nowhere.If anyone dares to risk my “Fisk”,
It’s “Boff” an’ it’s “Wham” un’erstan’?
So keep “Good Be-hav-or”
That’s your one life saver
With Popeye the Sailor Man.
Morbid from Street Tattoo & Piercing in Warsaw did this cutting of everybody’s favourite spinach eating sailor.
About a year ago I took a day and dedicated it to Gábor Zagyvai (IAM: Wyrd). The purpose back then was to highlight just how diverse his skills as a body modification practitioner are. I ended the day with a piece entitled “Abstract Mistycism” (his spelling) which you can see here. So now we come to today where Gábor is continuing to produce new works under his abstract mistycism banner.
Get ready to see some fun play piercings over the next few days. Morbid from Street Tattoo & Piercing in Warsaw sent in quite a few photos to the play piercing gallery, and this one below is just the first I’ll be sharing with you.
I’m sure some of you have heard of the recent legal troubles artist Shepard Fairey (Obeygiant.com) has been going through. Regardless of that his art is still some of the most recognizable of this generation, including this piece of a revolutionary woman with a brush. IAM: AStarOnFire had tattoo artist Ryan Hewell of The Big Easy Tattoo in Broomfield, CO tattoo this recreation of Fairey’s art on her arm.
Tattoo artist Jackie Rabbit is someone who is always up for sharing a good story. When it comes to her memorial tattoos she often takes the time to relay the story in the descriptions of the images in her gallery. This memorial tattoo is one such piece.
The owner of this piece is a good client of mine and an even better friend. She raises and trains Belgian Malinois for use as military, police, and service dogs. Her dogs are award-winning champions as well as treasured members of the family. Last week she lost her oldest dog Nix. He was a shy and sweet old man. He was her favorite dog and best friend. I was happy to have a part in her healing by being able to do this piece for her. Sleep well old man…you will be missed Nix
Wow. Just wow. Joey Pang can do no wrong, and this backpiece proves it. I really need to start saving up for a trip to Hong Kong to visit Tattoo Temple.
Here’s a pair of portraits by Victor Policheri that was sent in by Marteforsberg. Both tattoos are based on artwork by Lani Imre, and were done at separate tattoo conventions. The left one was done at the 2011 Oslo Tattoo Convention and the right at the Gothenburg Ink Festival 2012. Bonus points to Marteforsberg for getting a shirt that matches the colours perfectly.
I thought about saving this photo for a Halloween post, as it definitely would fit in with the colours and theme of the holiday. But then I realized it was just too awesome to wait to post, so here you go.
Even without the watermark, it’s pretty obvious this is one of Nail‘s tattoos. The orange line work is what gives it away as one of his, acting as a sort of signature.
You read that right, they also call her Anna, and we know her as both IAM: Theycallmeanna and as today’s BMEGirl.
