Who doesn’t do this?

One of the biggest “trends” in body modification “fashion” has been the decorative threaded end. I’ve seen Body Vision‘s assortment and it’s pretty killer, especially with everyone from gangster dudes to soccer mom’s sporting the tear drop microdermal these days. It’s a way to customize the jewelry for yourself and I think it’s pretty cool. I don’t know if this 14k yellow gold anchor is one of theirs but they make all kinds of threaded ends to suit whatever your needs are. This is Allen and he apparently did the microdermal himself at Superfly Tattoo in San Diego, California.

This one gets tricky

I really like this branding. I’m not sure why it’s so appealing to me but it’s incredibly striking. grundstuck‘s seemingly perfect circles were carefully electrocauterized by Quentin at Kalima in Worthing, UK.

Or maybe I just like boys in cute glasses.

Told you so

I told you I had more images from Brenno to share. I’m starting to think that when I’m in Milan in January for the Italian conference that I’ll need to make an appointment with him.  I’ve always been meaning to ask him what his IAM page name means. Maybe he’ll share with us in the comments since he participates here on Modblog as well.

Nothing like having your browser crash and losing all the posts you’ve been working on despite having saved them already. I don’t know what kind of sexually suggestive comments I inappropriately made previously about dandy ruby leigh but I’m sure they were positive. Her tattoos are by Jay philbrick in Lawrence, Mass. I pretty much hate the internet today and I’m going to be smashing bits and pieces of it for the next couple of hours.

A little bit of everything

Efix can always be counted on for sending in great photos of his work. This one is no exception. If you’ve got the time, I highly suggest going through his portfolio which is linked below. If you’re looking for Efix, he can be found at D-Markation in Quebec City, Quebec.

I was adding the category tags for all of the mods on his face and somehow managed to break the tag function. Perhaps I added too many tags?

DIY Till I Die

allesistscheisse is going to help me out with today’s public service announcement. One of the great things about tattoos is that most people can’t tell good tattoo work from bad tattoo work. It’s a pro but also a con. The primary thing is that it makes the wearer of the tattoo happy. When I posted Norm’s vimby video, a comment was made that you could get good script from any reasonably good tattoo shop, which I wholeheartedly disagree with. I know some amazing tattooers who just can’t do good lettering. One of the quotes that I’ve heard is that “good tattoos are ruined by bad lettering”, like if you see an amazingly well done sacred heart with a really cruddy “Mom” in the banner. It just kills the tattoo.
As long as Kevin is happy, that’s what matters in the long run.

So what is the lesson that we’ve learned today? Friends don’t let friends give each other home made tattoos. Unless of course your friend happens to be a kick ass tattooer.
