Friday Dali

While it’s true that there are often a lot of tattoos inspired by Salvador Dali’s art, there are also a good deal of portraits of Dali floating around out there.  With a mustache as distinctive of his art, it’s no wonder he makes for such a good portrait.

This colourful portrait of Dali was done by Keith Nellins from Nautica Tattoo in Carrickfergus, N. Ireland.  Keith’s been sending in a lot of his works lately, so it’s worth a trip over to the portrait gallery to check out some of the other works he’s done.

The Friday Follow-up

This week’s follow-up marks a couple of milestones.  For starters it is the first one to feature a collaborative project.  It also marks the first time both Efix and Six have been featured in the Follow-up.  This particular scar was done during the same week that gave us this scar back in November.

Without further ado, here’s the boys hard at work on IAM: LossIsYou’s leg.

We’ve been doing this for a few months now, you should know what to do.

And here is the leg a few months later.

You can view more of Efix’s works with Six in the scarification galleries.

A great piercing job, in this economy? I think so!

I recently saw on my buddy Jareb’s facebook page that  his studio, Spider-Bite Tattoos and Body Piercings. Normally, a post like that wouldn’t have gotten my immediate attention. However, the fact it comes from the same piercer who is con stantly making post such as “just did my 40th piercing, now it’s time for lunch”, leads me to believe this is an extremely busy shop (which also happens to use high end jewelry, this is no hack shop) and is therefore a great opportunity for the right piercer. Hell, if it wasn’t in NH, I might have jumped on this one myself.

“Very busy downtown Manchester, NH tattoo and body piercing shop is looking for an experienced and licensed body piercer. Previous shop experience and valid body arts practicioner license A MUST! Please call 603-661-3449 to arrange interview! FT and PT position available!”

Bass Master

When it comes to scarification, there are a few artists that are truly masters of the art.  One such master is Quebec’s Efix Roy.  Working out of D-Markation in Quebec City, as well as touring the globe, Efix’s scars are always incredible.  In the third and final animal-related post today, we have one of Efix’s newest scars, a bass leaping out of the water.

This piece in particular is a combination of cutting, peeling and cross-hatching.  The cross-hatching is a technique used for shading, and you can see it in the darker areas where the stencil ink is still present.

There is also a close-up image in Efix’s BME portfolio gallery, in addition to many of his other incredible works.

I plan on harassing him on your behalf so you can see how this heals up.
