Tattoo by Dan Forbes at Mojo Studios in Peoria, IL. The only time I’ve ever been to Peoria (when I was a kid; family friends lived there), I talked to a farmer for a long time about how his arm had been torn off by an auger. Then I went to a Ren Fair and watched some jousting.
I’m loving where iam:pillpoppinfun is going with his (brand new in this photo) facial tattoo! Anyway, it’s a long weekend in Canada, so I’ll probably post next on Tuesday.
Thanks to Off for helping keep things in Austin Powers territory. If you’re wondering about the motivator, it’s frosting. If you’re wondering about the strange perspective, it’s a loft bed. They’re not in a strange custom made box.
Surface pierced beautification by Juan Manuel Burgos at Face Tattoo in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I recently posted a historical article mentioning that in Ethiopia, mostly women get tattoos. John Durante sends in this photo of him and an Ethiopian client of his at Laughing Buddha in Seattle, Washington. I thought I’d posted it in the past, but I couldn’t find it — my apologies if this is a repeat.
Timo’s scarification by Velma_Kelly in NYC. I “hope” he doesn’t read ModBlog because he might be a little freaked out about skin removal given the recent post on a keloid growing out of control!
Personally, I was going to caption the photo “take a picture, it’ll last longer”. But feel free to stare because that’s not the caption Newbliz chose. Fuji film on the left cheek, Kodak on the right cheek, tattooed by Brady Willmott at Funhouse in San Diego.
Thanks to Ewan for sending in these great shots from Hack Suspension Team in Newcastle doing some not-entirely-legal suspensions… I think in most activities, the more excuses the police have to arrest you, the more fun it is, right?
“Actually, it’s a fashion statement,” says The Skeletal Capt in Montreal. I really like it, it’s quite clever!
I am a big fan of Trisha‘s stars, by Albenis at Tattoo Gallery in Venezuela.
