Guess What?
Never fear, the Guess What post is here!
This week’s image is I think one of my favorite ones to date. It’s a delightfully creative use of jewelry.
So, think you know what it is? Make your guess and keep on reading.
This ladies and gentlemen is a combination of a pair of transscotals and a full subincision.
By taking a look over in the transscrotal gallery, you can see that most of the parts are there (I couldn’t tell the status of his testicles from the images).
Good Morning!
I don’t care what anyone else says, Canadian girls are the hottest in the world. Take a look at miss 441am, isn’t she beautiful?
Those roses you see were done by Tiffany Thornton from Planet Ink in Ottawa, ON (Fun Fact: I worked there a long, long time ago).
You can see some more shots of 441am in the floral tattoo gallery.
Breaking the silence
Sometimes a picture just needs to speak for itself.

Vegan Meat Hooks
When it comes to suspension photo shoots, #Leeds Suspensions always delivers a fantastic set of photos. While in the past I’ve attributed the group’s work to Arseniy, in reality he’s just one member of a fantastic group of people who are always looking at suspensions through a creative lens.
This particular shoot is entitled “Vegan Animal Protest”.
#Leeds Suspensions recently got their own BME gallery, so head on over to see more of the creative suspensions this group has done.
Flight of the Locust
When it comes to distinct styles, Ania from Szerytattoo in Poland has a style that just jumps right out at you. If you remember back in January, I posted a fantastic octopus piece by her. This time we have her interpretation of a locust in flight. mOshpit_panda, the owner of the tattoo, made the trip to Warsaw specifically to get it done in Ania’s distinct style.
Ania doesn’t have her own portfolio gallery yet, so for now you can see this and some of her other works in the miscellaneous tattoo gallery.
(BME)Girls On Film
Those of us that were around in the 80s might remember Duran Duran’s single “Girls on Film”. It’s a safe bet that if you’ve seen the video, you’ll never forget the song. So when a BMEGirl sends in some photos including a heart with the chorus for Girls on Film you know you’re in for a treat.
Those legs belong to lavenderbrown, who is the BMEGirl in question. To see the rest of her, you’ll have to keep on reading.
Credit for the heart goes to Loz from Westside in Brisbane, Aus, while the 80s cartoon inspired sleeve in progress is a collaborative piece from the artists at Illicit Tattoo in Auckland, NZ. If you look close you can see the outlines of Jem and Rainbow Brite.
You can see more photos of this lovely BMEGirl in the BMEGirls gallery. As well, you can check out more heart tattoos here, and cartoon tattoos here.
BMEtv – Mimsy Gleeson
Today’s BME World Tour video features Mimsy Gleeson, owner of Mimsy’s Trailer Trash Tattoo.
As you can probably guess by the thumbnail, Mimsy does indeed work out of a trailer. She’s also a huge fan of old school tattoos and as you’ll find out, they’ve really influenced her style of art.
To check out the video, just keep on reading.

An octopus in need of a garden
As amazing as the blue-ringed octopus looks, it is definitely not an animal that you want to mess with. One bite from this bad boy can kill a person in minutes, there is no anti-venom, and it has enough stored up to take out over 20 people. I for one welcome our new cephalopod overlords.
This particular octopus was done by Jeff Ortega from Evil From the Needle in London.
Check out the full sized image in the new skool tattoo gallery.
