The tear just looks so real. Poor little mouse. Credits go out to Urge II Tattoo and Dragon FX, both in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Don’t cry, mousey.

Beauty in boys shorts
dagon‘s Crow tattoos are by Josh “Shwa” Keirstead of The Fall in Vancouver, BC and the photo is by Cole Benoit. Dagon is an absolute cutie. I’m not sure if she’s wearing boys briefs but damn if she is she rocks it. The girls of BME really leave me speechless. They’re hot and I’m jealous. Luckily they all send me pretty pictures of themselves.

Thank your lucky stars
I’m sitting on a pile of tattoo photos that I wanted to post and I figured instead of spreading them out over a couple days, I’d do a nice big fat tattoo post. Hope you guys like it.
The first piece is by Matt Geiogamah of Club Tattoo in Tempe, AZ.

Now you know I can’t resist posting yet another Star Wars inspired tattoo. I’ll let you guys guess who this is supposed to be. Credit for the work goes to Leo Rojas Valenzuela out of Real Tattoo in Providencia, Santiago, Chile.

This big kitty came all the way from Japan. Naomisa wrote in “my lovi’n lovi’n lovi’n cats!!” and that’s about it!
This Dali portrait is brought to us by Mario Pullano of Pain & Pleasure in Sandusky, Ohio.

Cock.. peacock that is.
Fabrizio Divari send in a new tattoo to update his artist mini portfolio on BME. Does your favorite artist have a BME Mini Portfolio? If I’m remembering correctly we have almost 1500 tattooers portfolios. You should recommend to your artist to send in an email with at least 10 photos, their contact details and any other information they’d like to share with potential clients. It’s a great way to get your name out there for free! And now for your daily dose of cock, brought to you by BME! 🙂

Good Cat Bad Cat
Tony Touch out of Infinite Art in Toledo, Ohio did the kitties on the back of Knux‘s calve tattoos. In case you haven’t noticed already, the commentary is short and sweet. Not that I’m a long winded airbag to begin with but I’m trying to have a little fun in the sun. If you’re all lucky, I’ll try and get pictures of some of the worst tourist tattoos I can find by the pool.

Don’t Masquerade
The last time we saw Cole up there, he was showing off that handsome chest piece, and understandably so! This time around, however, his clothes have tragically disappeared somehow, though this calamity at least allows us a convenient vantage point of the cephalopodic addition to his side by Jay at Trigger Happy in Vancouver, British Columbia. After the jump, we get a better look at a few things that are mildly obscured in the above photo.
Get In Or Get Out
So, here is another fine example of your editor being woefully unaware about all the fun Internet memes: we were overcome with great joy upon seeing this tattoo, given our inexplicable love for unnatural animal hybrids and things that should not be in general. What we did not realize, however, is that Raptor Jesus has been around for some time, and we are quite lame and out of touch. On the upside? It is still so, so awesome. Kudos to Sean for honoring His merciful talons, and to Jak at Body Piercing Unlimited And Tattoo for such a faithful rendering.

The Fish is a Fish
And just like that, David Pozo of Forevermore Tattoo Parlour in Glasgow, Scotland, wins the afternoon! “After the Buttergina’s appearance on ModBlog,” he says, “people seemed to dig the rib piece (seen above), so put it up as well!” We don’t make a habit of humoring threats like this, but we’ll make an exception in this case on account of the unfettered joy a weaponized Sailor Jerry shark gives us. Also, it’s good to know we have someone on whom to rely in the event that Party Shark gets out of hand.

So Convincingly Real
You folks are swell sometimes, you know that? After Twyla Sue showed up earlier in the week with his veritable cabinet of curiosities, Parker checks in with another jackalope tattoo? Two jackalope tattoos in one week, for reals? Is it our birthday? (It is not our birthday.) Except, of course, because Parker is not so much a human with flaws as she is a perfect being from somewhere among the cosmos, this is not just a jackalope, but a jackalope crossed with a goddamned owl, which, hey. In fact, this jaunty fellow is Fairfax, the jackalope owl, just hanging out and having a cup of peppermint tea. He likes long walks on the beach and arts and crafts involving nature.
And just like that, it’s Friday, ModBloggers, and there’s a knife on the floor.

Watered By Men
If there is one thing to which we have held fast and true during our tenure here, it has been our unabashed love of bizarre animal tattoos. We can’t explain it. There is no rationale we can provide. These absurd creations just tickle us in a way we can not entirely comprehend, but we are forever grateful to the people who tattoo them, who get them tattooed and who send them in—TwylaSue among them. It was he who submitted this glorious narwhal chestpiece many moons ago, and he has just checked in again (from deep within the confines of an actual mustard bottle, apparently) with some shots of his legs, this one featuring what appears to be some sort of, hmm, jackalope, maybe? It is, at any rate, something that most definitely should not be. After the jump, a five-eyed wolf (in progress) and some other goodies.
