Scarification Dog Portrait

Posted on April 27, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

I’ve seen the piece before (and maybe even posted it), but I quite like seeing this skin removal scarification on Rumiko, done by Ryan during his Japanese tour, with the subject of the portrait.

13 stars up the side

Yes, this is the current BME cover as I write this. Thanks to Noir Vixen for sending in her star tattoo by Anna McClain at Saint Tattoo in Knoxville, TN.

Falling…

Posted on April 27, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

I don’t know if the falling girl is Halsey or at least Halsey-inspired, but the lyrics on the banner are from the Elliott Smith song Happiness. Tattoo by Kurt Fagerland at Cort’s Royal Ink in Patchougue, Long Island, New York.

but I knew that he’d never forget her
while her memory worked in reverse
to keep her safe from herself
and oh my, nothing else could’ve been done
she made her life a lie

I have a thing for girls with accents

Posted on April 27, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

So I’m pretty sure I’d quickly develop a crush on this beauty from Almaty, Kazakhstan. Seriously, Filthee, wow, great photos in this set. Oh, and that’s twenty-one 22ga needles by the way.

As seen at Art Kor

Posted on April 27, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

I’m not sold on the facial hair, glasses, and sort of combination vampire-slash-Julian from Trailer Park Boys* look, but other than that, I think I could handle having this dude’s job.

* Sorry, maybe that’s too Canadian a joke?

Japanese (Taiwanese?) Sleeve

Posted on April 27, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

I quite like siobhan‘s latest sleeve work, done by Diau-An at Taiwan Tattoo in Kaohsiung. Great art, totally sexy and totally tough. There are more pictures on her page and in today’s main update.

Anyway guys and girls, sorry for the limited posts today but I’m exhausted and going to bed.
