This is harder on my eyes than Guitar Hero.
Sometimes I worry that people will get bored because I post work by a number of artists quite regularly, but then I realize that I don’t particularly care because I post what I like, not what I think will generate viewers… And I remember how mad I was when public schools started switching to “everyone should win a prize” instead of “the best people get the prizes” — so I again bring you some wonderful geometric work on Davy by Vincent Hocquet from Beautiful Freak Tattoo in St. Idesbald, Belgium.
I continue to greatly admire his skill.
Microdermal Clavicle Piercings
These single point clavicle piercings were done by Zach at Lucky’s Tattoo and Piercing in Northampton, MA. If you’re the sort of self-pleasuring person that prefers photos sans-clothing, feel free to click through.
Scalp Tattooing Portrait
Karol Lasia took this beautiful photo at this year’s Amsterdam Tattoo Convention.
Rats and Birds
Is this guy an animal lover, or are animals just really drawn to stretched piercings?
“Originality’s Not A Curse”
Her tattoo is actually taken from a Bayside song (Head on a Plate), but I think it suits ModBlog just fine as well! I also appreciate the irony of getting a tattoo about originality that’s a copy of someone else’s lyrics… But sometimes others find the right way to say what you’re already feeling.
Getting implanted
Here’s an action shot of Oscar Navarro elevating the tissue in Bellboy‘s arm at Acid Crue, my favorite modification-driven folks from Singapore (be sure to check out their great blog as well).
Horse Riding in Chiapas
Boff (a tattoo artist who works exclusively by hand — no machines guns) sends in this shot of himself horse riding in Chiapas, Mexico — his forearm tattoo is by Kev Western at Kev’s Tattoo Studio in Leister, UK.
Snakebites on the Lake
Evan took this photo about four months ago when he was healing the snakebike piercings on his lower lip, done by Sarah at Artistic Impressions in St. Catharines, Ontario.
Dermal Punched Ear… On a cat!
Before you freak out about this 2ga punched cartilage on this cat’s ear, which was done by a Connecticut veterinarian under anesthesia, please read Chelsea‘s explanation of what you’re seeing —
“This was done while she was under anesthesia because she was a member of an established feral cat colony that was going to be released back into the wild. The holepunch was supposed to signify that she has been spayed — they do this to control the population, as the cats usually are completely wild and un-adoptable. She was an anamoly and decided that she liked being a pet better!”
