Almost forgot: Joy Rumore Theft

Some bad news about one of ModBlog‘s more popular tattoo artists — Joy Rumore just had all of her tattoo gear stolen (read more here). If you’d like to help her out, you can click here to donate via PayPal.

Former posts of hers you may have enjoyed: BME Armpit Tattoos, Scar Tattoo, Egg to Frog, Animal Liberation Tattoo, Heart Tattoo, “No Pictures” Finger Tattoos, Dog Portrait Tattoo, and a Kimchi Inner Lip Tattoo.

Tattooed Scarification Mosaic

OK, I didn’t think I was going to post anything else today but this piece is just so sweet that I had to add it. It’s on tigricula and was originally a kind of crappy tattoo. Then Brian (click on his name, he loves it when you do that), and then once it was well healed, it was touched up with tattooing by The Milkmaid (both at PURE in NYC).

It’s my personal believe that some of the high detail scarification that’s being done these days may not stand the test of time, but when you combine scarification with tattooing, you almost create an altogether new form of body art that I think we’ll see much more of in the future!

PS. Thanks to Rebekah from Modified News for the tip!

Not another one!

It’s funny, I try not to feature one artist more than others on ModBlog, and when I’m choosing which pictures to add, they’re from a folder of stuff Phil has put aside for me and I don’t even see who did it until I write the entry. But still, for some reason, certain people keep getting featured… Thanks again to Joy Rumore for another (remember the dog portrait tattoo posted recently) very nice tattoo, this time of a stylized heart that I think many will enjoy.
