I’m not even that much of a fan of the show these days, but I do like this Kahn from King of the Hill tattoo, done by K at The Voodoo Needle in Auburn, AL… I see a fair chunk of tattoos from cartoon-land Springfield and Quahog, but Arlen, Texas? Not so often.
These tattoos of stitched up slashed Achilles tendons kind of squick me out, but maybe it didn’t help that I was watching Nightmare on Elm St. 3 as I was processing it (Remember, with the marionette scene? And the hilarious freakin’ awesome Dokken soundtrack and music videos?). Tattoos by Justin at Big Mojo Tattoos in Indiana, PA.
“Needles + Ribbon = Beautiful, Beautiful + Painful = Perfect”, writes one of my favorite contributors (and one of the winners of the recent BMEgirls contest), IAM:ennui zero. Oh, and here’s another night’s photo if you prefer girl-girl lacing (myself, I prefer the solo gown shots). I’m lovin it™.
I am guessing this tattoo by Carla Hopkins at No Ka Oi Tiki in Philly could be interpreted in many ways depending on your bias and what type of encounter you hope or fear having with the objects in said pants. Cuntcumber who sends the picture says, “it’s not what it looks like, I swear!”
The tattoo is by Robert at 334 Bowery Tattoo (which Clive and I just walked past a few days ago on our travels) in NYC… and if I remember how locks work, the door here is latched, but at least open a crack, which ironically is also feels like the story of my life right now.

I think I’ve posted drumstick tattoos up the forearms in the past, and I’m not adding these so you can see the theme… I’m posting it because they sent a couple pictures of how the tattoo twists with the arm and I thought it was kind of neat! By the Brazilian guys from Max Tattoo in Bologna, Italy.
I really like the new facial work that Donkey Boy got from Andy Barela at American Graffiti in Las Cruces, NM. It’s a simple concept, but I’m a big fan of the “repeated triangles” school of tribal.
Damn, this is pretty intense in terms of just how much of a percentage of the outer conch is gone — a punch, repunch, and then taper to 000ga (about 7/16″). Piercing by Modified-Design, Sherman, TX (c/o IAM:Jessestar).
I admit, I had to couldn’t stop myself from looking it up — according to the dictionary this means “someone who is rude or difficult due to sand irritating their vagina.”. I’m not so sure it’s the toe tattoo that I’d choose for myself, ha, but Christfuck says at least it’s a conversation piece — ink by Ish at Tattoo City in Monroe, Ohio.
