Howie and Quentin in the UK did the work on Captain Howdy — I especially like the eye orbit beads (which remind me of Cork‘s implants).
Horny, beady-eyed dude

Jesus Christ Scarification
Ryan Corrigal, cutting at Strange City in Edmonton, Alberta did this great cutting on Matt. Brian has been out there cutting as well, so expect a few more posts of what they’ve been doing soon.
I will dream well today.

Because sometimes things don’t work out
…and then feel like a bullet to the neck! Coverup by Needles’n’Ink in Bryan, Ohio.
Tattoos Fade?
Awww, crap. I paid all this money for tattoos that are going to fade away? Damn. Well, at least now I can have the slogan of the moment tattooed on my chest, and I can replace it with a new one every once in a while, right?
Tattoo: Big Joe and Son’s Tattoo in White Plains, NY.
An oft-misinterpretted tattoo!
J-Robb at F.I.S.T. Ink tattooed his logo on his wife. I think that “FIST For Life” might be read differently by folks who don’t know his studio — I wonder if kinky swinger fisting couples hit on them at the beach?
Gorgeous DIY Fetus Scarification
Jason Rice (apprenticing under Andrew Niland at Live Once Tattoo in North Bay, Ontario) just did this really pretty fetal cutting on himself. I know it’s not an option for everyone, but I really feel like the heart of body modification — the evolve yourself meme — is in DIY procedures, be it DIY at home, or guided DIY in an apprenticeship.
Ok, I’ll call it “football” this time…
…since everyone got upset when I posted a football face and called it “soccer”. Anyway, following up to the Maradona portrait, here’s one by one of my favorite South American artists, Darwin Enriquez at Mithos Tattoo in Caracas, Venezuela.

“Cursed” Love Tattoo
AngelicFruitcake had this love tattoo done by Olly at English Rose in Peterborough (UK, not Canada). I think I’m too superstitious (how embarassing) to get a tattoo like this… the idea of tattooing anything negative on me freaks me out! Before you think it’s all negative though, the other side says “blessed”.
