These skin removal chestpiece wings were done about a week apart, her right side being freshly cut in this photo, and the left the week before. This ultraclean removal was done by Verno at Holy Mackerel/Visual Addiction in St. Paul, MN. The central star looks like it’s been keloiding very evenly, so I imagine these will look great when they’re done!
Jason, the lead gorilla, sends in this great shot of the always stunning La Negra modelling some of the wonderful glass jewelry (BMEshop link) he makes in Mexico.
Jonathanpiercing just sent in my favorite tattoo in a while, his body modification themed sleeve (love the gnarly split tongue and amputations!), in progress by Jee Sayalero at Freak Family in Illescas, Toledo (Spain). He’s a great artist (back in November I posted a tattoo pinup girl he tattooed) that does the convention circuit as far as I know, if you’re interested in work.
Beautiful blackwork tattooing on Namesofthedead (top) and Lefrog (bottom) by Xed Le Head at London UK’s Into You. Really great photo as well!
For that small number of you unfamiliar with the line-up of Slipknot, that’s a portrait of Corey, the lead singer (who wears a mask), done by Denis Prevost at Live Once Tattoo in North Bay, Ontario. I like the inverted hand tattoo on the hand!
Tattooed by John Devilman at Tattoo Syndicate in San Bernadino, CA… which he tells me is the most dangerous city in California, so I can see the suitability of the governator tattoo… “That which does not kill you makes you stronger.”
Last April I posted her gorgeous sleeve, but Siobhan just got some more work done by Diau-An at Taiwan Tattoo in Kaoshiung (design by Cohen in this case)… Like with the myriad of people on my general crush list, I can’t stop myself from posting these here and I hope you enjoy them also.
Kyrenna took this at the 2006 Amsterdam Tattoo Convention.
I think I’ll have energy for posting tomorrow (and I sure hope I have it on Thursday, because I’m supposed to get my chestpiece finished that day). I’m more tired today than I thought I would be so I’m afraid it’s going to just be this great white on black tattoo is by Yvonne and Hannes at Blut und Eisen in Berlin, Germany.
Yesterday I posted Fabito’s Petropolis suspension, but I love the set that they found — an abandoned and run-down ski-lift — so much so that I wanted to also share Helena‘s first suspension experience which took place there, by Valnei, with Joao’s help as well. Two more photos: shot in less contrast, closer shot of Helena.
