Very Nice Large Blackwork Tattoo

Personally I prefer maggots to toilets…
…but if you’ve seen how messy my bathroom is, you’d understand. Subtract the toilet and I’d love the picture. Meredith writes me,
"Hi Shannon — I'm catching up on ModBlog and I came across your "I'm not sure how I feel about toilet shots" comment (on the c'est la vie foot tattoo). So I figured I'd help you analyze those thoughts a little further with another toilet shot."

What did you get for Christmas?
Was it wrapped in a bow? Was it shaved? Tattoo by Alice (or Nat, sorry, I’m not sure) at Adrenalin Tattoos in Luton, Bedfordshire, UK (not long after this photo was taken a Christina piercing was added; I think that’s actually in the piercing update Phil and I just posted to BME).

Unusual Tattoo Aftercare

How did he do that linework?
It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of Lionel from Out of Step, an artist working across Europe. This amazing piece was done on Kna‘s wife while Lionel was guest spotting at Temple Tatu in Brighton, UK. Be sure to click the picture to zoom in so you can see the tattoo’s crazy linework… I’m assuming that the hair’s calligraphy was done with a fairly radical custom needle configuration, almost like a custom brush. The entire tattoo took a bit under three hours to do.
