Cock of Fury!
This great tattoo was done on StalkTheGround in one five hour session by Skip Castro of Standard Ink at the first annual Chattanooga Tattoo Convention.
That’s some bright work!
This piece is on Ben Pass and was done by Watson Atkinson at 13 Roses Tattoo Parlor in Atlanta, Georgia… Not a guy I’m going to hang out with next time I’m on acid… Or at least I’m going to ask him to keep his shirt on.
Cilantro in Theory
I don’t know what the title of this entry means but I didn’t write it… Owella got this great baroque-framed shadow puppet tattoo by Saint Kele Idol at Aerochild Tattoos in Birmingham, Alabama.
Strike a Pose!
Beautiful Spanish Suspension
Seriously, all these gorgeous suspensions are making me so jealous as I’m stuck in the city… This is Manny suspending with Capo and Carol in Rellinars, Spain — click for another portrait of him in hooks.
Dan DiMattia Rocks
Not only is he an amazing tattoo artist, but he’s loads of fun to wrestle (so I hear). If I make it to Belgium again (last time I was there I was in bad shape and a bit of a druggie), I’m going to try and do both. I’m a big fan of both him and his muse (who you know best from Needled.com).
This great chest-piece is by him, but you can click the picture and see a full-face tattoo he did as well.
Another unusual female genital piercing
You may remember that a while back I posted a cervical piercing (on which you should definitely read the follow-up interview, so let me add this unusual genital piercing that’s resultant from a split Princess Albertina. Erika decided to take the two flaps that were left from the split (sort of a mini “female subincision” I suppose!) and pierce them each with a barbell.
Yurah Kalmikov at Planeta Tattoo in Kiev, Ukraine did the piercing and everything is healing nicely. To the best of my knowledge, and theirs as well, this is the first piercing of this type… So far they’re just calling it “Erika’s Fantasy”, and unless anyone else steps forward, they have naming rights!
Healed Cherry Blossom Scarification
Some time back I posted Kitten‘s gorgeous large-scale scarification of cherry blossoms done by Dave Gillstrap. It’s now looking well healed, as you can see it peeking out from under her clothes — for for the top half.
Suspending in the Forest
There aren’t many things that make me miss the forests of Switzerland and Germany where I spent some of my childhood on my great aunt’s land… This photo of Konrad flying at the 3rd Swiss Modmeeting (c/o Visavajara in Freiburg/Nuernberg) at Kanderstet in Switzerland sure does though!
