Bike Versus SUV

And the doctors even took out his apadravya piercing while he was unconscious. Seriously, I think doctors have a thing with messing with people’s genitals while they’re out… A friend of mine just had lung surgery and when he came to, he discovered that he had a smiley face drawn on his the head of his cock, as if it had been used as a puppet. He confronted the doctors about it and they were embarassed and apologized for not cleaning it off, and said that it was quite normal because “it helped make things less boring”.

I’m not sure if that’s really creepy or sort of funny.

Dice Gaming Tattoo

Posted on December 4, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

I’ve posted a couple other dice-based gaming (RPG, etc.) tattoos in the past. Here’s another (this is a yo-yo reference as well I think?), done by Dan Forbes at Mojo Studios in Peoria, IL.

Dreaming of Wotan

Moparnut (at Dragon FX (Kingsway) in Edmonton) sends in this great looking facial scar on Trevor. I’ve been seeing more and more facial scars that are visually akin to Teutonic dueling scars. I don’t want to put words in the mouth of anyone with the scars — let me be really clear that this is my own theory only — but I believe that the reason these are more and more common is that we’ve lost the warrior ethos and challenge from our society, and all we have are myths about it. Because we are unable to experience it except through stories, but still deeply feel it inside us, we try and express it through symbols like this even when the action itself isn’t possible.

PS. The story in this case as far as I understand it is that Trevor has had a ton of facial injuries, but somehow has managed to never get a scar due to mutant healing powers or something… Spur of the moment, he decided he wanted one to last (someone feel free to correct me if I’ve told that story wrong).

Luckily for her, it’s just fruit… Nothing you have to cook.

Dragons and Pentagrams

Posted on December 3, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

The tattoos in this torso shot were done by Steve at Tattoo Tech in Dayton, Ohio. The dichotomy between the two dragons is obvious, but if you look carefully the lower tattoos aren’t the same — they’re a pentagram and a pentacle.

Now where’d I put that wrench?

This is why you don’t fix your car in the nude… or maybe you should?

Rose Hip Tattoo

Posted on December 2, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

This tattoo looks like it’s going to turn out really nice, but I hope that the subject doesn’t mind me mentioning that tattoos are a great way to cover scars (stretch marks, whatever, as long as they’re healed) if they make you uncomfortable (and are well healed). The in progress work here was done by Nick Horn at Cult Classic in Romford, Essex, UK.

Tattoo Panoramas

Posted on December 2, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

This first piece if by Fabrizio Divari at Divariart Studio on Queen Street here in Toronto. If my art memory is working correctly, it’s based on Salvadore Dali’s Temptation of Saint Anthony.

The second one I’d like to share (and I have this fear I may have posted it before, it’s so nice) is this wondferful Memnto Vivere music forearm sleeve by Joshua Bowers at Sacred Skin in Des Moines, IA.

Just checked… I posted the tattoo in an earlier stage last April which is why it looked familiar! Sad that I can’t remember what I did yesterday but I can usually recognize a mod that I’ve seen once, years ago.
