Mosque Tattoo

Posted on March 10, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

It’s quite common for me these days to see Islamic tattoos. I think in part because the calligraphy is so beautiful, as well as (the debatable “fact” that) becoming a Muslim is now one of the “cool” ways for white kids to rebel (sorry, please don’t blow up the BME HQ to show you’re serious), we’re seeing more and more of them… but most are script, so Phil and I were surprised to see this tattoo by Jim Coey in San Jose, CA, of a mosque.

Now, someone tattoo a cartoon of Mohammed please so I can post it.

Eww, eww, eww!

I’m all for people making their own DIY body jewelry, but I kind of think this plug made by IAM:busichildfg out of fimo is a little off-putting because of the color choices… When I first saw it as a thumbnail I actually thought it was an injury! Still, freaking out the plainskins is always fun.

~~Heh~~ Hey, it’s not the song I’d have chosen personally to tattoo on my back, but good for her for at least getting the tune right… Db – Dbsus4 – Gb – Db… Most people are too sloppy to bother. Anyway, this is by Steve the Gypsy in Sheffield. I do not know if that’s gypsy as in Gypsy Cab or as in Gypsy Moth, of if he’s an actually a bonafide gypsy.

A Day of Male Pinups!

Posted on March 9, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

Well, today is International Women’s Day, and I’ve been thinking how I should celebrate the event (other than my usual womanizing)… So, as a brutally inadequate thank you for all the gorgeous female pinups that I’ve posted here, today is going to be a day in which I post nothing but dudes! Enjoy!

Tattoo by Chip Beam, Sayre PA

I went out with a friend’s mother for lunch today. She’s about fifty or something (as if I can judge age) and seemed to think it was a funny idea, so I’m going for it. Most of these are from the BME/HARD galleries (and yes, I know some of them are gay, but let’s keep the straight fantasy up for the day at least).
