Babakhin sends in this photo (no, it’s not on him, it’s a snapshot he took) that was done in a Russian prison… I’m guessing that “earning” this tattoo may not have been a pleasant experience, but who knows? Personally, I plan on avoiding Russian prison.
Thanks again to my friend Armando in Mexico for sharing these beautiful pictures from a recent suspension hosted by Jaguarcolibri. Those of you who suspend I’m sure can appreciate the beauty of going out into the country side and hanging over running water, and then when you’re done washing out your wounds in that clean mountain stream.

Speaking of oldschool (rollerskates not blades) here’s one for the Pioneer Valley Roller Derby, N-Ham, MA, done by Alastair Cameron-Hodges at Mom’s Tattoo Studio in Amherst.

A few posts ago I mentioned an animal liberation tattoo (which reminds me, remember the Vegan Tattoos article?), so I thought I’d share a quite different interpretation on the same theme while I had it in my mind. Anyway, this tattoo was done at Liquid Chaos in Dearborn Heights, michigan, and the bearer writes, “it stands for human and animal rights being equal.”
The piercings you see in this photo are all by Jon at New Tribe here in Toronto, Canada. Yeah, there are piercings in the photo, what were you looking at? Thanks again to my long tongued friend Tara for the titillation. Go welcome her back after 6/6/6!
I love this! Great tattoo, great politics, sexy placement, and the seals are just so cute! Thanks to CrucifyEffigy for sending in her tattoo done by Brett Osborne at PURE in Brooklyn, NYC (which you’ve seen mentioned here regularly due to the work of fellow artists Brian and Joy Rumore, who also did the great dog portrait tattoo on her).
I do worry about the long term implications of a tall implant on the top of the hand, but I sure do love the way this heart shaped implant on clearvowelsriselikeballoons looks!!! I’m guessing it won’t cause the over-the-top controversy that rained upon the brass kunckles implants.
