Nekromantik Tribute Tattoo

Posted on March 24, 2008 by Shannon Larratt

When I was in high school (I think I graduated in ’91 to put it into context… I’m getting old!), these were my favorite movies:

Pump Up The Volume
Suburbia (1984)
Heathers
Harold and Maude
Nekromantik
Der Todesking

On account of the last two, I was quite pleased to see this tribute to Nekromantik by Bud at Evil or Sacred Tattoo in Los Angeles. I know that only a few people will probably appreciate this piece because the movie is somewhat obscure… The wearer tells me they’re planning a second Nekromantik-themed tattoo soon as well.

Tattooed Branding

Posted on March 24, 2008 by Shannon Larratt

Tony Powers, one of the few tattoo artists also doing scarification, did this tattoo over a strike branding… Because of the very traditional design I imagine it makes an interesting impact because at first people write it off as “boring” but then all of a sudden realize they’re looking at something “more”.

After the break you can see another photo of Gnomoweb‘s striking facial tattoos, but more interestingly, there’s also a relatively “before” photo that’s strikingly “innocent” looking. See, this is what happens when you don’t take your pills… Moral of the story? Don’t take your pills!

Nala’s Piercings

Posted on March 24, 2008 by Shannon Larratt

Nala has an interesting genital piercing, which you can see after the break and at full resolution on BME. All of her piercings are DIY and in 12ga, and of the genital work she explains, “my genital piercings pass through my labium majora and converge into my vagina,” so they’re sort of high/deep outer labia piercings.

What is it with unicorns?

Posted on March 24, 2008 by Shannon Larratt

So way back in the early days of ModBlog I posted the unicorn with a hard-on. Then I posted the so-called “white power” unicorn, and then the unicorn shitting a rainbow. Jake saw this and wrote in,

“I figured I’d send this one along your way. I had this created for the logo of my band Children of the Unicorn and it was so fucking fly that I needed to get it on my arm, and then this shot ended up as our album cover… funny how it works sometimes. Enjoy!”

Homer Simpson Escapes

Posted on March 23, 2008 by Shannon Larratt

When Madelyn‘s best friend moved to Florida, they had her boyfriend James Buey do matching tattoos on them. Because they used to sit around quoting Homer Simpson, that’s what she decided to get — I’m posting it because I like the take on the old “[insert tattoo cliche here] ripping out of the skin” theme, with Homer eating his way out of her leg.

Heart Implant Procedure

Posted on March 23, 2008 by Shannon Larratt

For those who come here to see someone get their face cut up, here’s a silicone heart being implanted into a cheek — the incision, which you can see after the break, seems quite large. Hopefully I’ll follow this up with a healed shot later.
