Fat City Reprise (Tattooed Musical Beasties)

I was lucky enough to be able to tag along with Tommy Agriodimas while he was doing a photo shoot with Fat City Reprise. After chatting for a while about their tattoos and their Philly origins, I figured I’d video some of it to share on BME. We did a quick interview and I threw together this video in the cab of a 26′ moving truck during the drive from NYC to LA.

I admit that my knowledge of Polish avant-garde hip-hop is woefully underdeveloped, but nonetheless, I can certainly appreciate this portrait of one of the ostensible pioneers of the genre, Bartosz Waglewski/Fisz, nicely rendered by Tofi at Art-Line in Rybnik, Poland. After the jump, his older brother, Emade, a hip-hop producer as well.

And to close out this fine Monday, here we have Sam showing off his chestpiece, which comprises Bayside lyrics, American Steel‘s eighth note and a handsome set of wings to round it all out, done by Vinz Nadeau at Quebec City’s Anim Ink. Take care, ModBloggers, and we’ll see you tomorrow.

So, what we talked about earlier, about how it can be a crap-shoot when adapting a painting into a tattoo? The same is not true about images of skeletons rocking out on guitars while riding unicycles. Those are just fantastic, every single time.

Meltbanana sends in this photo of her new “Zombie Elvis” tattoo. It’s a very well done piece, so I mean absolutely no disrespect whatsoever, but I had no idea Zombie Elvis looks so much like alive David Lynch. That’s good, though, because I wasn’t planning on sleeping for the next 50 years anyway.

You know, between Jesus-Lemmy and his own private Mt. Rushmore of country music legends up there (left to right: Hank Williams Sr., Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and David Allan Coe), Sean is really building up quite the bad-ass collection of music tattoos, isn’t he?

A shot of the rest of the piece, after the jump.

Sure, he’s got long, dark, flowing locks, and bedroom eyes, and is in tremendous shape, and has a well executed, complex and interesting Ulver-inspired chest tattoo, but, uh … hey, look at that stupid doorknob! You can’t even see all of it! Ha ha, geez, worst picture ever.

Courtesy of the hell demons good folks at Tel Aviv’s Pentagram Tattoo come these assorted heavy metal portraits — Ozzy on the left, and Dee Snider as Captain Howdy (from Strangeland) on the right.

After the jump, check out a bonus portrait of a certain “Cowboy from Hell”! I’ll give you a hint: His name rhymes with “Mimebag Meryl.” Take a guess! I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
