The Once-Ler’s House
I think the world would be a much better place if every kid had The Lorax, The Sneetches, and maybe Horton Hears a Who (and not this new bastardized movie version) in their libraries… I’ve read it to my daughter many, many times, so I was very happy to see this Dr. Seuss tattoo by Will Thompson at Outer Limits in Costa Mesa, California.
“But now,” says the Once-ler,
“Now that you’re here,
the word of the Lorax seems perfectly clear.
UNLESS someone like you
cares a whole awful lot,
nothing is going to get better.
It’s not.“SO…
Catch!” calls the Once-ler.
He lets something fall.
“It’s a Truffula Seed.
It’s the last one of all!
You’re in charge of the last of the Truffula Seeds.
And Truffula Trees are what everyone needs.
Plant a new Truffula. Treat it with care.
Give it clean water. And feed it fresh air.
Grow a forest. Protect it from axes that hack.
The the Lorax
and all of his friends
may come back.”

“Semi-Voluntary” Amputation Interviews
This set of interviews is sort of in a grey-space of body modification where it’s not entirely clear whether it’s medical necessity or whether it’s voluntary body modification… On one hand the amputation solves a very real medical issue, but on the other hand, much of the medical community disagrees that this is the right solution. Three stories are included — a foot fetishist who had a deformed toe removed, a body modification enthusiast who had his leg amputated after five years of pain following a car accident, and a BME member who had an immobile finger amputated. All of these were by doctors, without subterfuge.
Want a free tattoo?
Greg tells me that he and his presumably drunk friends (or Scott at least) at Akron Ink are shooting to do an entire calendar. So far only “Mr. September” is taken… Want to be next? The price is right!
PS. I’m not really posting today.
Vincent Hocquet Interview Posted
I’ve posted another interview with another Belgium neo-tribal/geometric artist (a la Dan), this time Vincent Hoquet of Beautiful Freak Tattoo (check out his BME gallery at that link) who’s been featured here a few times. Click through for the interview, and come back to comment.
Viuda Negra
My friend and modification artist Emilio Gonzalez (of Mithos Tattoo, Venezuela) was recently in Bogota, Columbia, where he did these intense horn up-sizes, taking this client to the next generation. Continue reading for a couple more photos.
You’re gonna be OK.
Ack! I must quickly post something to keep the tijuana donkey show from being the topmost entry on ModBlog!
Um, something innocent…
Jen‘s new tattoo is quite sweet — it’s an elephant on stilts, carrying a flower for a giraffe. Every day is Valentine’s day… Tattoo by Stelios at Eternal Tattoos in Howell, Michigan.
