Finger tattoos by Jay Blondel.

Steve took this photo at the recent Detroit Motor City tattoo convention… The placement of the hand tattoo and the way it’s looking in relation to the photographer is perfect (great work too).

It probably won’t last (I’ll post a follow-up if there’s something to post), but this writer’s fingernail got torn off at work, so they thought “why not get a skull tattoo” (done by Jake at Alkali Tattoo and Body Piercings in Janesville, WI) and see what would happen… Yes, it hurt a lot.

Dan‘s little inner finger tattoo of a pair of scissors (“I just really like scissors, it’s that simple”) really healed exceptionally well I think given the tough location. It was done by Gavi Snider at Sacred Art Tattoo in Corvallis, Oregon.

I’m actually going to try and not fill my spare moments this weekend with ModBlog posts, but continue work on more interviews for next week. Thanks to everyone who’s helped out on them so far, and thanks to readers who’ve posted interesting commentary as well. There’s an image update uncompressing right now, and I’ll be back on Monday.

EDIT: For some reason today’s update seems to have — as Jayson put it — “usurped” the previous update. I won’t have a chance to re-insert the previous update’s pictures over the weekend, but it’s a simple fix and I’ll do it on Monday most likely.

The tattoo below is by Keegan Lam (another home artist) by the way; I quite like the simplicity of the design.

Yes, it beats the fingerfucker… This amazing “scary finger” is by Noon, one of my favorite modern tattoo artists, that I look forward to featuring in an interview soon as well (the list of interviews is growing!). There’s some great new content that’ll be posted in his portfolio page on BME as well tomorrow also.
