Let’s go swimming
No more little blue dress, it’s time for Cupcake to go skinny-dipping I think. Photos by Kristen.
Sheesh, I wasn’t going to
No need to warn me! Actually, Matney X doesn’t just have a “don’t” tattoo — he is “don’t”, as a part of Shelley Jackson’s Ineradicable Skin book. The tattoo was done by Shane-O at Big Deluxe in Salt Lake City.
Traditional Hand Tattooing
This great looking chestpiece was done by Marc Pinto (marcpinto.com) using exclusively hand techniques, with no machines whatsoever involved.
Warm Water
Here’s Basophobic_angel (basophobia: the inability to stand; fear of walking or falling) in the tub. Speaking of relaxing baths, my legs are kind of sore so I think when I get this additional batch of posts uploaded, I’m going to do the same.
I heart Komando
OK, these are actually posts I’d planned for yesterday, so if I can squeeze in some more time to type, expect another batch later today or if not certainly tomorrow.
Anyway, I think I’ve mentioned here before what a big fan I am of Komando‘s modifications… I just love these big facial cuts she had done by Manny in Buenos Aires, Argentina!
Uncanny Valley
This creeeeeeepy mannequin picture by Sibylline is also from the 2006 London Tattoo Convention.
Great film-themed tattoo
I don’t know the artist credit on this — Sibylline snapped it at the 2006 London Tattoo Convention — but I just love the way the filmstrip is being used to break up the tattoo… It’s going to look great when it’s finished (it looks great already). Anyway, if anyone knows the artist credit, please post it.
Black Leather
You’ve probably seen her many performance shots from European conventions (they’re scattered across BME’s tattoo convention coverage and elsewhere), but let me post one of m.ika from the Czech Republic that’s more formal.
4″ Long Tygon Bar
I’d worry that there could be some drainage issues with a piercing this long (that’s a long fistula to form), but at the same time, I have seen them heal at this length without abscessing or having other problems. This particular one is by Nickk Leading (of Perforations in Denver), done at a length of 4″ in 14ga tygon.
