The Wonderful Adventures of Nils

Posted on October 26, 2011 by Rob

This is one of those references where you’ll either know it right away or you’ll have no clue at all. Myself, I had no clue, but the wonders of the internet filled me in. Earlier this month at the International Brussels Tattoo Convention, Michael Kozlenko from Kipod Tattoo in Tel Aviv created this image for a client. It’s of Nils, the main character of The Wonderful Adventures of Nils, a Swedish children’s book which was adapted into an anime series back in the 80s.

It’s easy, Michael Kozlenko‘s latest client. There’s so much going on in this chest/shoulder/arm piece, and all of it is awesome. Each section is unique, yet they all tie so well together. Have a look for yourself.

You can check out more of Michael’s work in the Kipod Tattoo Portfolio.

Pigs… in… space!!!

Alright, so maybe it’s just a guinea pig, but it is still in space. I’m not sure exactly what the apple means, or if it’s just a separate piece done by the same artist, but the guinea pig in space goes back to the launch of Sputnik 9 in 1961, which had a guinea pig as a passenger.

So the last time I posted a tattoo of a statue, I may have mistaken Moses for Zeus. Well this time I’m positive this is a statue of Janus. Coincidentally this tattoo is by another Kipod Tattoo artist, Michael Kozlenko.

PANDA!!!

Arad Bert from Kipod Tattoo in Tel Aviv made me grin from ear to ear when I saw this tattoo. Probably because I just watched the Panda Cheese commercials last week. Regardless, this is a great tattoo from one of the many talented artists at Kipod Tattoo.

This bust of Zeus is anything but frightning.

EDIT: And by Zeus I mean Michelangelo’s “Moses”

Kickin’ it old school

This very traditional looking piece also comes from Kipod Tattoo in Tel Aviv. This time the artist is Alexey Zamotevsky.

You’ll definitely want to check out the rest of it in the Kipod Tattoo portfolio.

Shine on you Crazy Diamond

Looking through yesterday’s submissions made me think it’s time for another Tattoo Tuesday. To get things started we’ve got a Pink Floyd inspired piece. I’m really digging the perspective that Arad Bert chose for this particular tattoo.

Arad is one of the many talented artists from Kipod Tattoo in Tel Aviv, Israel.

A Portrait and the Artist

Posted on April 21, 2011 by Rob

Last weekend was the Frankfurt Tattoo Convention, and we’re already starting to get photos added to the Frankfurt Convention gallery. This portrait was done at the convention by none other than Michael Kozlenko, one of the tattoo geniuses from Kipod Tattoo.

We’ve seen a lot of Michael’s work over the past few years, but we really haven’t gotten a good look at the man himself. Until now.

Here he is hard at work on the portrait you see above.

There are many more photos from the convention coming in every day so stay tuned for more from Kipod Tattoo, and the other studios that attended the Frankfurt Tattoo Convention.

A mountain top never looked so good.

We see a lot of tattoos come out of Kipod studios, and rightfully so. Michael and the rest of the artists consistently put out solid work, and are kind enough to share it with us in the studio’s portfolio gallery.

If you’re an artist and would like your own portfolio gallery, simply e-mail [email protected] and send in your request. After that whenever you submit photos you can put them directly into your gallery.
