Angel and Devil

Kelso writes, “here’s a nice picture I took of two very nice girls I know.” I guess he knows them fairly well. Oh and for those of you who need less cropping and always complain when I don’t include a more explicit click-through, click on through. I like the backpiece, but is the other tattoo a frog smoking a joint? Or do I just see what I want to see?

Paisley Hip Tattoos

Mike sends in this photo he took of Tovah, after she had these nice paisley tattoos put on by Tomasso Tattoo of Italy (at the 2006 Detroit Tattoo Convention). I hope the design is extended further down in the long run (and no, not just so I can hope a picture is sent in, but because I believe that tattoos should always be designed for the nude… but maybe that’s just me).

White over black tattooing

Danny had a tribal tattoo on his shoulder he wanted to “upgrade”, so he had Johnny at Skinworks in Holland first tattoo it totally black, and after it was completed, the lotus and cherry blossoms were added over top using white ink (see also: a white dragon chestpiece over black done using a similar method).

Two great BME tattoos

There are so many really nice BME logo tattoos out there, but I wanted to share two specific ones today. First, here’s Deviant Star‘s BME heart design by Ben at Medway Tattoo and Piercing, who writes, “I couldn’t think of a decent way to show it that wasn’t cheesy, so I took this in my pub.” The photo turned out great I think:

Joeltron though I think has one of the nicest BME tattoos out there, a really amazing piece by Trevor Bennett at Wicked Ink in Sydney, Australia… All done now after about twenty-five hours of work!

It’s alright, I’m a Jedi

Sinister sends in this shot of Zack Nigel’s Rebel Alliance palm branding, done by Matt Bruce while stationed at The Rebel Base at Yavin in Edmonton, Alberta (a part of Canada more regularly confused with Hoth). According to Zack, his fifteen minutes of having his palm branded was definitely more painful that his nine hours of head tattoos.
