Remember the Cockilus? Well, Urea is real pissed at his tattoo artist because he thinks the cracks in the forehead are too suggestive. Sheesh! A bucheta pretendida! Tattoo by Rafael at Urea in Joao Pessoa, Brasil.

Stomach Scars
There’s something about chaos stranded on a smooth surface that I just love about randomly violent scars on smooth skin. Really beautiful. Thanks to midiwife from Brighton, England for this photo. Oh, and that sweater is crazy. Kids these days…
“No Regrets”
You know, I’ve been seeing more guys with facial tattoos and beards, and I really think the combination improves each. This facial tattoo is by Mike Gutowski at Divine Machine Tattoo in Buffalo, NY.
Hand tribal tattoo
I recently shared another great blackwork tattoo by Patrick at Worldsend Tattoo, but I just loved this traditional hand tattoo he did that I wanted to share it as well.
It looks like that hurt…
But then again, nose piercings always make ones eyes water. Thanks to Jay in Winnipeg for sending these.

Separated at birth?
Originally I was going to comment on how the new Cadbury’s Thins candy commercial (which is vaguely derogatory) has what are I think the largest stretched lobes that have been in a mainstream commercial (not including Art Aguirre from Church of Steel who was in the reality show Mad Mad House) recently, but then I noticed that she also looks disconcertingly like Xeni from boingboing (sorry for the crappy photos of my TV)…
Nine-year old tattoo artist
OK, I’m not sure that the tattooing baby counts, and I can’t remember how young the youngest Leu family member was… but I think that when Steve Bennett tells me that his nine year old daughter is the world’s youngest professional female tattoo artist, I think he may well be right. What do you think? She “works” at Studio 313 (inside The Tattoo Lady) in Hammond, Indiana.
Honeycomb Tribal
Beautiful work by Patrick at World’s End Tattoo:
Stretched ear at sunset
Piercing by Bartas at Piekielna Furia Chaosu in Poland (if I read the email right). Mostly I just really, really like going to the beach. I have a lot of work to do this weekend, but I will definitely go again next week. Write me ([email protected]) if you want to tag along, I’m all for swimming with strangers. I’m thinking about going to Presquile… I haven’t been there in decades.
