I wish people told me the stories behind their tattoos when they sent them in…

This one must have a cute explanation!

Now that’s what I call efficiency
 |
When I was living in Mexico, groups of workers often took on tasks that would be handled by one person in Canada. The end result was not only that jobs got done faster (well, sometimes), but that there was less unemployment. These photos are from GeorgeZix at Espfinge Tattoo Shop in Sao Paulo, Brasil, and while of course it’s totally different, it still reminded me of what was “home” for all of 2005.
Dig the full-body condoms. It’s pretty rare to see that level of contamination control up here in the Northern hemisphere…

Guerilla suspension is the best kind
In Las Vegas, photo by Mute-One:
I guess congratulations are in order?
Did my friend Emilio get married in Las Vegas? Now I really wish I’d made it! Anyway, if so congratulations, and if not, well, you got me! Left photo by Mute-One, right by Steve.
And normally I’d stay “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas”, but since I’m the official leak for the APP, here’s my PS. Yeah, I know who you are even in that fancy getup.
“Libertad Presos Politicos”
Civil rights tattoo by Markhos at Aprendiz, Autodidacta.
Piercing vs. Tattoos
I’m not sure if I’m sold on it, but I do find the idea of achieving symmetry with tattoos on one side and piercings on the other interesting. I don’t know who did the tattoo, but the piercing is by Sarvas at Blue Boutique (also in SLC, as in the previous entry). They are “swoop design” surface bars in 14ga.
Yet another RPG tattoo!
What is it about the D20 these days? I’ve been seeing more and more nice pieces with non-6-sided dice as their centre-piece. I like this one by Phill at Big Deluxe in SLC, Utah — Roll 4 Damage, Bitch
