Ha, check out this Kool-Aid Man by Garrett Memering at In The Flesh Tattoo in Bakersfield, CA… Instead of being full of fresh sugar water, he’s full of beer! Have a good weekend everyone.

Healing Collaboration Scarification
This is by John Joyce and Brian, and is about four months old in this photo… It’ll go down in time, but these raised keloids are gorgeous — I’d say given time, this is an ideal candidate for scar tattooing (which I predict will become increasingly common).
Suspension is fun, remember?
Having fun with Freakboy at Vatos Tattoo in São Paulo, Brasil, suicide suspension style. Extreme knitting and extreme ironing, meet extreme accoustic guitar.

“A tribute to my dog”
I’ll let the letter speak for itself:
Hi. My name is Kristin. About a year ago, I was in a pet store in Langhorne, PA. There was this “aweful” looking little puppy with no hair except for a mohawk on his bald little wrinkly head being sold for $1,000. I’m not for buying dogs from pet stores, but this little dog totally belonged to me! The next day, I went back to the pet store and he was mine.
Long story short, I named him Pee Wee Martini and he is entered in this year’s World’s Ugliest Dog contest held in Petaluma, CA. I’m traveling cross country hoping Pee Wee will get this year’s title. You can see pictures of Pee Wee and vote for him to win by following the links at http://www.peeweemartini.com/.
So… I have never loved a living creature as much as I love little Pee Wee Martini so I decided to get a Pee Wee Martini tribute tattoo. It is one of my more simple tattoos, but by far, my most favorite!
“Look mom, I’m naked on the internet!”
Thanks, Nyne, you know it makes you a celebrity in my books, even if your mother doesn’t approve. The great star tattoos are by Trish at Electroladylux in Vancouver, Canada.
You stay classy, BME!

Mmmmm… I look good. I mean really good. Hey everyone! Come and see how good I look!
Breast Scar
The coolest thing about this cutting and skin removal is that it’s actually completely symmetrical (she has the same piece on each side). I don’t know… maybe I’ve just read Crash (as in JG Ballard) too many times, but I love it.
