From the talented hands of Jackie Rabbit comes this piece called “Strange Birds”. It’s got a fallen angel vibe to it, especially with the mask looking so much like a plague doctor’s mask. And you can never go wrong with a plague doctor.
Update: This piece by Jackie is based off a piece of work by Samantha Mash entitled “Fix Me or Conflict Me”. You can check out the original here.

Did you say “Hello”?
No I said ‘Allo, but close enough.
From this little worm to David Bowie’s codpiece, Labyrinth is a fantastic film filled with amazing images that are just ripe for tattoo material. Jay Wheeler from Eternal in Detroit put together this piece of the worm and one of the door knockers.
Dorothy was always going on about Kansas. How much she loved living on a farm with a lovable cast of characters. That was a long time ago. Nowadays I think she’d rather click her heels together and wish to go to Roanoke, VA, to visit Roger at Star City Tattoo.
I know this is probably from something else, but all I see when I look at this tattoo is the racing snail from The Neverending Story.
Tattoo by Roger LaDouceur from Star City Tattoos in Roanoke, VA
It is the end of days. The fate of the world hangs in the balance between the forces of good and evil. The champions have been chosen. Two young boys, innocent prior to being selected, have been imbued with untold powers. When the battle is over, only one shall remain, the victor claiming the fate of the world for his own, the other, dead, and with him all of the power that was given to him.
With the defeat of their champion the losing side will forever be vanquished, never to return, leaving the world forever in the grips of good or evil. Who do you think will win?
Roger from Star City Tattoos in Roanoke, VA was the artist chosen by both sides to create these images of the boys immediately before the battle.
As Jen pointed out last week, I may be considered something of a nerd. Well it turns out I must not be much of one as I had no clue what this tattoo was of until I did a search for the word “Modron“. I’m sure there are a couple of Dungeons and Dragons players out there that could explain these things in greater detail, and I’d imagine kmg454 would be one of them, seeing as how this is his tattoo.
This is based off a drawing by Christian Spalthoff and can be found in the Fantasy Tattoo gallery.
Here’s the other photo I mentioned earlier that was sent in by FemaleHumanoid. The focus here is not just on the couple, but also their tattoos. In fact I’d hazard a guess that the point of the photo is to showcase the work, that just happens to be on these two individuals. As with the earlier post, you’ll definitely want to go to the gallery to see the full sized version of this photo so you can get a better look at the tattoos.
Don’t let the glare from the flash distract you from this autumn themed chest piece sent in by ChorusOfAngels.
I got a message a couple days ago from Allen telling me to check out the work of Dallas artist Mike Tidwell from Hold Fast Tattoo. What caught Allen’s eye was this piece, a greyscale replica of Alex Grey’s “Ecstasy”.
Given how intricate Alex Grey’s art is, Mike should be commended for such an accurate recreation. Let’s hope we see more from him in the future.
With all the responses we got with our last job posting, we’ve stated to make great strides towards getting the BME World Tour videos from Japan translated. We’ve got enough translators now, but we are still looking for someone to fill the position of Lead Programmer for BME.

Of course a post wouldn’t be complete without an unrelated image, so here’s CajunKourt’s recreation of Giger’s “Pisces”.
