Bekki is an artist from Sacred Heart Tattoo in Atlanta, Georgia, that often does guest spots at Ink Assassins in Erie, Pennsylvania, and we both share a common interest in dumpster diving. This piece was in regards to that, as well as the concept that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

And this tattoo, done at Lucky Lou’s in Atlantic City, New Jersey, says, of course, “Nom Nom Nom” in Arabic, because, hey, Middle Easterners gotta munch too, am I right?

Well hey, here’s a fine young man with a whole lot of gold jewelry! I’m actually not crazy about gold when it’s not being worn as body jewelry, but it’s such a relative rarity in piercings that it’s usually a pleasant surprise.
An additional, tusky shot, after the jump.

So … that’s unpleasant. A cautionary tale:
Well this is a lesson learned: Never fight if you have implants. I banged my arm on a wall during a fight and this was the result. It started off as a small graze and over a week the pressure opened the hole right up. The implant is clearly visible and it got infected; obviously, it had to be removed.
Guhhh. See? A life of nonviolence, among the many other benefits, will probably keep your implants from rotting out of your goddamn arm. At any rate, we wish this fella the best of luck in healing.
