So far I’ve heard guesses ranging from nine to a young-looking sixteen. Personally my guess goes in the fourteen year old range, but I’m terrible at guessing ages. For all I know the dude is forty. Of course, as I mentioned on my personal blog, my meds are a little off right now.

Dice Tattoos and Scars
“Heh, heh, I rolled a 20, I win”, says Donkey Boy…
Or then there’s this dice cutting and skin removal, by Castillo at Mithos Tattoo in Caracas, Venezuela.
Oldschool Ghetto Blaster Tattoo
Boombox tattoo by Jeremiah Mcabe in Tribal Image Kustom Tattoos in Michigan. It’s looking a little rough in this first stage outline, but I like the general idea.
O my brothers, a Clockwork Orange tattoo
Alex and his droogs in the tunnel scene. I shazat it’s quite bolshy.
Damn, that’s getting intense
Metaldude and Laxie sure are escalating their play!
Makes me proud to be German!
“CUNT” tattoo
I’m thinking that either this is some sort of THE MAN; THE LEGEND theme for women, or that i say death‘s boyfriend has a really poor sense of direction. Tattoo by Mark Lachenbacher at Marky Marks in Saugerties, NY.
Symbology
So… If I’m to believe tattoo iconography, “anti-racism” is represented by a lollipop (ok, that’s a little silly, but I guess it makes general sense), and “Christianity” is represented by a grenade — as David Rees put it, “Thank you God for your healing gift of religion. Monotheistic religion has always brought out the best in us humans; thank You so much for the idea of a vengeful supernatural entity who rewards people in the afterlife. That shit makes a lot of sense.”
Left tattoo by Krash in Denver (on Vomitrocious), and the other piece, “Victory In Christ”, is by Manuel Cruz at Needlez N’ Threadz in Norco, CA.

Great Tribal Circle Tattoo
I’m a big fan of this piece by Fraktal at Ganesh on IAM:ruben.
Anyway, I know I’m posting a day early (yeah, like you’re mad), but I didn’t realize my flight came back early enough in the day to post this. Other than that, I’m thinking about converting this blog to a WordPress2 interface (I just have to write the plug-in for IAM)… What do you think? It would greatly improve some of the core features (and speed) of the site. I have a couple more important programming tasks, but I can’t imagine it would be difficult.
Also new this week, I’ll be training Phil to do BME updates start-to-finish, meaning that we’re going to try updating five times a week (four image updates and one experience update) for a while and see how it goes. Feedback appreciated on all of this.
Cyclist Activism Tattoos
On the left (the oily chain-ring smudge) is a Critical Mass tattoo out of the UK by Little Paul at Eternal Ink in Sheffield, UK on IAM:badhairdo. On the right is another similar piece by Miso at Revolution Tattoo in Chicago, IL. How ironic that a car guy like me totally supports their cause.
