This is session number two (the dog is new; I equalized the levels but you can see the original on IAM and BME) on Kaite‘s portraiture of Judy Garland as Dorothy (and Toto) from 1939′s The Wizard of Oz, done by Loz at Westside Tattoo in Brisbane, Australia.
It says “Krytonian” in, you guessed it, Krytonian. This geeky tattoo was done at Inkslingers in Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK. It got me thinking — how would you tattoo Superman? I mean, if dude can get shot in the eye, then it’s not as if a tattoo needle isn’t going to just bounce off the skin, and even if you could temporarily weaken him enough to get the ink under his skin, would it last?
Jeez, I feel like I’m in Mallrats even thinking about that.
Brodie: It’s impossible, Lois could never have Superman’s baby. Do you think her fallopian tubes could handle the sperm? I gurantee you he blows a load like a shotgun right through her back. What about her womb? Do you think it’s strong enough to carry her child?
T.S.: Sure, why not?
Brodie: He’s an alien, for christ sake. His Kyrptonian biological makeup is enhanced by Earth’s yellow sun. If Lois gets a tan the kid could kick right through her stomach. Only someone like Wonder Woman has a strong enough uterus to carry his kid. The only way he could bang regular chicks is with a kryptonite condom, but that would kill him.
Oh No!
The fresh lobe piercing is by Reverend Decay by American Tattoo in Knoxville, MD. Seriously, test of where your brain lies: what did you notice first? The bloody piercing, the seemingly chopped off head, or the cleavage? If you noticed the cleavage first, you’re either on the wrong blog or are completely desensitized to blood and can give yourself a pat on the back.
Done at Eternal Flame in Aurora, IL. Sorry guys, these lips are not reserved for your gender (not that lips are ever reserved).
Christian started out with a 1.6mm (14ga) conch piercing, and stretched it (DIY in Sweden, and no tissue has been cut out) slowly to 16mm (5/8″). Not an easy piercing to stretch so far!
More gorgeous work (and a partial coverup too) by R/yan Speed at Gen X Tattoos in Willoughby, Ohio with this bright biomechanical sleeve.

Frederick Mackmiller had this series of play piercings done in the shape of an Eye of Horus by Dorian Antes at Beneath the Skin in Las Cruces, NM. As a related point of trivia, as well as being a symbol of royalty, as a part of language the eye symbols generally meant “to do” or “to perform”.
PrettyHateMachine sends in this photo of the elegant surface piercings that Patrick from Ironwarrior in Cape Town, South Africa. I hope they heal well because they’re really very pretty.
Faithinpoison (check her IAM page for more formal modeling work she’s done) shows off her 14ga nipple bars and triple 14ga navel, by Nikki at Art Addictions in Brampton, ON. Seriously, every time I post a BMEgirls entry here I wonder what the best way to go about meeting someone is (don’t worry, that’s not a sideways creepy old man way of hitting on you Aridia, I’m just proving to myself that whining about it on the internet is the most ineffective way possible).
