I really like Erszabet‘s half sleeve, done in the theme of the “Hey Diddle Diddle” nursery rhyme, and the dog was drawn to look like her Jack Russell terrier Korndog.

Air Quotes Tattoo
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
On iam:SlowPoke, done by Will Bodnar at Laughing Buddha in Seattle, Washington. I was starting to get tired of gag finger tattoos, but this is pretty funny and original.

Please note that links may expire. IAM members, please help out by submitting stories!
Tattooed Paintings
So iam:Tristan has been doing these absolutely gorgeous portraits of IAM members (in this case of Courtney) — he’s taking portrait commissions for only $200!!! That’s an amazing price for a custom painting like this, but I wanted to mention that Tristan and I have been talking about doing a full calendar of his paintings for BMEshop.
Anyway, if you like his paintings as much as I do (I’m definitely coughing up $200 of vanity), you can contact him directly about a commission (here’s a link for non-IAM members). If you’re cool with your painting appearing in the calendar, please let him know that.
Stitched Heart Scarification
Russ Foxx did this stitching on Pretty_Lush for New Year’s — you can see it here marked out, stitched, and then finally scarred as it rejected (as intended).
Ribbed for your pleasure
Progressive‘s finger lines and hidden spirals, as cut by the extremely talented Wayde at Piercing Urge in Melbourne, Australia.
Big Trouble in Little China Sleeve
That’s right… Picassette had Sarah Peacock in Wilmington, NC give her a tattoo sleeve in the theme of the movie Big Trouble in Little China!

Ascii Ink
The tattoo on the right is of course an ASCII rose, and on the left is Curtis‘s username in a UNIX root command prompt. It’s by Shane Hart in Lawrence, KS, but Curtis emphasizes that the fading is because he was deployed with the US Army right after this was done.
