Lower back tattoos have a bad rap. It’s a great piece of real estate that unfortunately gets covered all too often with poorly done work. Thankfully we have artists like Kerri Kiple who are taking the lower back.. back. No longer will tribal butterflies be the sole resident of this space. From now on pieces such as this grand piano will take their place, and the world will be a better place for it.

I love you much
It’s not enough
You love blow and I love puff
And life is like a pipe
And I’m a tiny penny rolling up the walls insideWe only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to black-Amy Winehouse – “Back to Black”
It was only a matter of time before an Amy Winehouse tattoo appeared here after she passed away a few months ago. I can’t say I’ve heard this particular song but whoever those legs belong to must have been a fan.
This tattoo is by Lou Shaw from Murray Bridge Tattoo and Body Piercing in Murray Bridge, South Australia.
To start today off we’ve got a tattoo sent in by Sadiesue. This Darc Clements design is a compilation of symbols that Sadiesue finds meaningful. I get the impression she’s a big fan of music and snow (hopefully not the musician “Snow”) based off some of the elements in the design.
Darc Clements works at Custom Art Gallery in Elkhart, IN.
I have no idea if that little guy is from anything and I don’t care. This is just so ridiculously cute.
Tattoo by Daniel “Gozdi” from Szery Tattoo in Warsaw, Poland.
Something simple to end the day on. A photo of a young man, sitting peacefully, with a great assortment of modifications. He goes by the name Crazy Face, and his work is done by Ash from Custom Art Tattoo in Norwich, UK.
Continuing with today’s parade of BMEBoys and Girls, we’ve got Ilja vs. The Baron in a battle to the death. Two men enter, one man leaves. Place your bets now, who do you think will emerge triumphant from the bloodbath?
He was taken from us too soon. RIP Dimebag.
As you can see by the watermark, this scarification/tattoo combination piece was done by Anders. You can see more of his work in his BME Portfolio Gallery.
IAM: roopiec sent in this design to the music tattoo gallery. Which leads me to believe his is probably album art from a band I don’t know, which means you guys will have a field day laughing me like that time when I didn’t recognize the slipknot logo.
Looking through yesterday’s submissions made me think it’s time for another Tattoo Tuesday. To get things started we’ve got a Pink Floyd inspired piece. I’m really digging the perspective that Arad Bert chose for this particular tattoo.
Arad is one of the many talented artists from Kipod Tattoo in Tel Aviv, Israel.
For Spyke_Jagerkrieg, she likes it submerged in boiling flesh.
Cannibal Corpse fans will recognize this right away. And those that aren’t fans, “Submerged in Boiling Flesh” is the name of one of their songs.
And now you know.
And knowing is half the battle.
