The tattoo on the left (where the nipples are visible and untattooed) is the actual tattoo by the very talented Jeremiah Barba at Last Rites in New York. The tattoo on the right is one where I’ve Photoshopped off the nipples. What do you think? I think on my tattoo, I’m going to tattoo over the nipples.
Herger in Germany is covered with some absolutely gorgeous tattoos (see the entry next to this one for another). This one is also done by Boris Tattoo in Zalaegerszeg, Hungary.
Hey, check out this great Monster Engine (specifically) tattoo that Herger (he calls it “the beast with two hearts”) had done by Boris Tattoo in Zalaegerszeg, Hungary. If you don’t already know Monster Engine, it’s interpretations of childrens’ drawing by Dave Devries.
This first piece if by Fabrizio Divari at Divariart Studio on Queen Street here in Toronto. If my art memory is working correctly, it’s based on Salvadore Dali’s Temptation of Saint Anthony.
The second one I’d like to share (and I have this fear I may have posted it before, it’s so nice) is this wondferful Memnto Vivere music forearm sleeve by Joshua Bowers at Sacred Skin in Des Moines, IA.
Just checked… I posted the tattoo in an earlier stage last April which is why it looked familiar! Sad that I can’t remember what I did yesterday but I can usually recognize a mod that I’ve seen once, years ago.
Wow. This doesn’t even look real it’s so unusual (and wonderful) looking. Done by the consistently sexy -MFT- in Moscow, Russia. Lots more high res photos of this will be posted in Monday’s tattoo galleries of Olga’s white/negative tribal tattoo.
I love Disconnect‘s skull chestpiece which just got finished up by Eric Jenks at Splash of Color in East Lansing, MI where she pierces. Great photo too!
I’m pretty sure I’ve featured more knockoffs of his work than originals done by him, so let me share this great dotwork backpiece (riding over top of a healed spiral branding) by Daniel DiMattia at Calypso Tattoo. His shop is in Belgium, but in December and early January he’ll be touring in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
This great tattoo (with still lots to do) is about six years old in this photo, done by Cat Spencer at Show Me Tattoo in St. Robert, Missouri… My singular objection is that I think nipples should be tattooed over in chestpieces like this. That said, I don’t think the nipples are tattooed in my chestpiece, so who am I to talk…
Wow, I am really blown away by this performance shot of Bonnie by Mamma Tomma — skewering someone with a pitchfork and then using it to lift them up into the air is very intense!!! I’d love to have seen this show in person…
A while back (in March) I showed an amazing Mayan cutting by Wayde Dunn… Angelinpayn just shot this picture of it and it’s still looking incredible, even more so than last time I think.
