This tattoo — which must look great in person where you can see it move, and I think will age really nicely (because it’s heavy and simple) — was done by Vern (“The Mad Hatter”) at Backdoor Studio in Sacramento, California. I wish I could post a video of this tattoo in motion — if you have a big tattoo, I’d be thrilled if you could send us a video of how it moves on your body… You can send them to Roo at [email protected] (let him know it’s for ModBlog if you do).
Ralph’s backpiece reminds me of a giant Cobra logo!
This comicbook cover backpiece, after its first session of outlining in this photo with lots of work remaining, is being done by Shawn Thompson at Strange City in Edmonton, Alberta.
I’m not going to say that seeing this photo makes me desperately want to embrace Marysparks simply so I can run my fingertips over those wonderful keloids… but I will write it here on ModBlog! These really seem to have healed wonderfully… Cutting by Shawn Lower, photo by IllumiQuest.
As seen by Trash at the Berlin convention:
I like Bambina‘s backpiece, recently finished up by Snir at Psycho Tattoo in Tel Aviv, Israel.
So I know I shouldn’t be out drinking, what with the recent surgery, and opiates in my system and all, but I decided to hop a commuter flight out to Vancouver and drink at some random bar, and who do I bump into in the washroom but motorcycle daredevil Gregory. I got him to show off his amazing bodysuit by Steve Moore at Sacred Heart in Vancouver, BC, Canada, in return for the promise that I’d photoshop the urinal out of the photo.
(Yes, of course I’m kidding, other than that I think that’s a great backpiece).
Kyrenna took this at the 2006 Amsterdam Tattoo Convention.
It’s both super cool yet vaguely disturbing at the same time. I’m writing this advance, and as such I don’t know what will happen first, so either “I hope you enjoyed the interview with Lionel“, or “watch BME/News for an upcoming interview” shall be my message to you. I’m a doctor, not a fortune teller.
People liked the forearm tattoo by Vincent Hocquet at Beautiful Freak I posted earlier this week, so I’d like to share another photo, this time of a backpiece. Oh, and note to artists and models: as much as a nice tattoo helps get you on ModBlog, so does a nice photo — and Vincent sends such nice photos!
