Fold My Hands and Pray For Rain


This outstanding, twisted rendering of some damned undead fellas just cold tearin’ apart a defenseless farm sow was tattooed by Tim Biedron at Deluxe Tattoo in windy Chicago. The images were entitled, “Poor Cashew,” but I can’t tell if this is an original piece or an adaptation of something else—if anyone knows, please fill us in. Otherwise, just enjoy this glorious grotesqueness for what it is. A few more shots, after the jump.

Run Into His Arms


Well hey, it’s new (and tattooed) daddy Zach with number-one son, Cash Randall, of whom he seems so proud, he’s just gonna put him up on the mantle for all to see. Seems like as good a place as any.

More shots of father and son, after the jump.

Why We’re Here


Well hey, it’s Brianna, looking fancy, showing off the ol’ “Nerd Life” inner arm tattoos! There’s a lot to like about Brianna’s work, not the least of which is her nice, colorful BME Calm logo. What’s that, you can’t see it? Well…best look after the jump.

One More For The Road


The last time we saw work from the great Kyle Cotterman, he was cold tattooin’ lesbian vampires, and O, the people across the land did rejoice. This time around, Tim checks in with this incredible (and very fresh) Cotterman-inked portrait of his son, Casper, done at the Sturbridge Tattoo & Arts Festival in Sturbridge, Massachussetts.

Memorable Coming Up


And now here is some grotesque pornography, starring the gentleman on the left, whose name I am prohibited by law to display in print, and Mike, on the right, who just got his first tattoos—the two of whom are celebrating this momentous occasion with a bottle of vodka. And grab-ass, apparently. Hooray!

Betting on People


A few people mentioned in the comments for yesterday’s tiger post that they weren’t big on animal tattoos, but that that one had turned them into believers. Well, apparently Sean Karn at Fuzion Ink in Norfolk, Virginia, wasn’t satisfied with converting just a few of you, so he’s shared this wildlife sleeve, which is really just pages from National Geographic that he glued to a client’s arm is one of the nicest pieces I’ve probably ever seen. Also, that morose water buffalo on top looks like it could use a hug.
