Now THAT’S dedication to body modification
Paul writes,
I’ve been working on a weight loss/body sculpting *mod*for a few years now, and I’ve finally hit my goal, going from over 235lbs down to 155lbs. I’ve been self conscious for a long while, but now I’m happy with where I’m at. It’s funny how self hatred can drive you to self love.
It’s one thing to sit under the tattoo needle for a few hours to modify your body, but I think we all too often write off the thousands of hours (and don’t get me started on the pain) it takes to transform ones physique like Paul has.
Daniel DiMattia Interview Posted
Continuing my interview series with tattoo artists, I’m very happy to post a chat with Daniel DiMattia of Calypso Tattoo today. Click through to read it now, and come on back to comment if you’d like.
Yoda prefers Phil Collins
Not that I have any problem with Noel Gallagher (of Oasis), but I got a laugh out of this portrait tattoo of him because of the placement. If a time comes that the wearer is no longer a fan, they can say, “no, no, it’s not a portrait of Noel Gallager… it’s a portrait of Noel Gallager having his throat slit by Yoda!”
If I get bored one day I’m going to go through the archives and lot for other tattoo interactions… I’ll bet there are loads as people get more and more coverage. Anyway, the tattoo is the work of Kelly Macdonald at Skinz N Needles in Ashington, UK.
Nice use of UV ink in a tattoo!
As much as I like pumpkin carving, normally I think Chris’s Halloween-themed chestpiece wouldn’t jump out at me as a piece to feature, but when I saw how the UV ink in it has been applied, I changed my mind! I love it how the UV is a way to augment the tattoo with something new, a hidden element that can only be appreciated in the right environment. It was done by Alex Miller at Local Color in West Chester, PA.
Temple Heart Implant Healed
I like kissitgoodbye‘s heart shaped implant, done by Howie while at Metalurgy in Dundee, Scotland — I think if it was me I’d be in line to get a second matching one on the other side. After the break is a second photo of it under different lighting, and from the front, which is interesting because it gives you a better idea of the 3d aspect. You can also see her new white gold tooth in that shot, done by a dentist in Pretoria, South Africa.
That is one stretched out navel!!!

Mods that refer to each other
The scars, which did some damage to an older tattoo, are care of the bike in the tattoo below with the ominous quote. The interesting question is, did OnlyOneRiri get the tattoo prior to the scars? I don’t think so, but I can just imagine lying there after the terrible crash thinking, “wow, the coroner is going to get a sad laugh out of my tattoo, aren’t they?” Tattoo by Flash at Comes A Time Tattoo in Fairfax, VA.
Geek Ass
Mr. Lobes geeky ass cheek tattoos were done by Brad at Atomic Zombie in Edmonton, Alberta. I don’t know if he’s planning on pounding more color into them, but I hope so, even though they look great as is. Click to zoom and de-crop for a better view of both the tattoos and his ass.
