A Dia De Los Muertos-ish skull surrounded by candy and cupcakes? That’d be the handiwork of Matt Ellis, one of Toronto’s finest tattoo artists and the co-proprietor, along with George Brown, of Seven Crowns Tattoo, their brand new private custom studio! These guys have a combined 9,000 years of experience, and this is the sort of unholy coalition that just begs for a grand opening party to be thrown on Friday the 13th. Party info is after the jump.
Come celebrate the Grand opening of George Brown and Matthew Ellis’ new custom tattoo studio. Seven Crowns Tattoo. Seven Crowns features two of Toronto’s finest artists working in a clean, relaxed private studio. That being said, a party is going on, and all are invited. Cheap drinks, free food, NO COVER and all the tattooed Torontonians that one person can handle. Have questions, call 416 322 7696, or call Rockie Raccoon’s at 416 484 6464.
Gangster number one Ryan Ouellette from Precision Body Arts in Nashua, New Hampshire, sends in this phoenix cutting he did recently. Wait, what’s that? You want Ryan to cut you? Well holy damn, you’re in luck. He’ll be at the Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention from February 27 to March 1, 2009, doing all sorts of fun things. Visit him at PBAscars.com to set something up.
Also, the above cutting after three months of healing, after the jump.
This truly excellent piece was done by Mark Gibson of Monki Do Studio in Belper, Derbyshire, England. And no, Heretic138, those aren’t Nazi swastikas in the background.

Logan Gordex sends in this shot of him flashing his indestructible Adamantium claws some scalpels after doing a darling skull cutting in his Sao Paolo, Brazil, studio. Prediction: This will be slightly less controversial than Freakboy‘s famous shot.

Good morning, ModBlog! Let’s start today backwards: Here we have a young man who got his 18 mm. lip piercing closed and stitched up by Brooklyn’s number one son, xPUREx. It’s not uncommon to find reactions to procedures like this … not negative, necessarily, but certainly sad: people tend to be disappointed when a person has his or her stretched ears/lip/whatever restored to their original state. Understandable, to be sure, but I have to say, I’m always rather impressed that these stretched piercings that so many of us grew up believing to be relatively “permanent” are increasingly reversible. This isn’t to say that such procedures should be taken lightly, of course, but the ingenuity is pretty remarkable nonetheless.

I definitely feel like I’m missing the reference here, so until someone enlightens me as to who or what the subject of this stellar piece by Dustin Poole from Sacred Balance actually is, I’m just going to believe it to be the cyber-sexy offspring of Silver Surfer and lovable droid C3PO. Prove me wrong, ModBlog! Prove me wrong.

So, when we received this photo, I just assumed it was some kind of “white trash” tattoo, whether prideful or ironic or whatever. Then I checked the image’s information and, in addition to seeing it was submitted by the excellent Johnny Stiletto at Baltimore Street in Hanover, Pennsylvania, there was a line about “Internet superstar Brian Peppers” and orders to “Google it, mo-fo!” Mercifully, I had never heard of Brian Peppers, but I figured, Hey, what’s the harm in keeping abreast of an Internet meme?
In conclusion, I hate the Internet.
