Peco, who just did a traditional Hindu-style pulling (click for another picture or visit the galleries on BME) with his cousin Tiago in Campinas, Brasil, writes, “Lord Murugan was there with us, and was amazing!”
She describes her tattoo as a stained glass dove (stained glass tattoos are great) but it almost looks like a stonework mosaic as well… The blues and cyan tones are really nice.
I have a big crush on the photos that oilchanges&wifebeaters sends in — this one’s from the Skin Graft Design fashion show in Hollywood.
A friend of mine (who is very experienced in this subject) recently did this DIY foot shortening — and this definitely has to be the limits of what’s possible in a DIY setting. I hope it heals well (it’s two weeks old in this photo)! More pictures are in BME/extreme‘s amputation galleries.
PS. It’s quite an old interview, but you may want to read this interview about voluntary amputation (free link) if you’d like to learn a little more about the “why” end of things, or if you’re a BME/Video member, this video interview about ampuation (as well as a demonstration) is very much worth checking out.
I think it’s about time to come out of the closet, at least temporarily. Feel free to click through for another picture.
Cuntcumber‘s hilarious (and perfectly done) self-portrait tattoo is by Matt Lukesh at Seppuku Tattoo in Savannah, Georgia. Way too funny!
You may remember the great large scale brandings that I posted by Noah Babcock of Evolution — St. Fuck You (haha) recently sent me in these amazing shots of his healed Easter Island Moai calf sleeve, also branded by Noah.
Sometimes I worry that people will get bored because I post work by a number of artists quite regularly, but then I realize that I don’t particularly care because I post what I like, not what I think will generate viewers… And I remember how mad I was when public schools started switching to “everyone should win a prize” instead of “the best people get the prizes” — so I again bring you some wonderful geometric work on Davy by Vincent Hocquet from Beautiful Freak Tattoo in St. Idesbald, Belgium.
I continue to greatly admire his skill.
Sophie Lu‘s great house fly tattoos were done by Jon at Uptown Tattoo in Minneapolis, as was her sparrow sketch, which you can see if you click through the picture.
Mide sent in this great photo of his fresh penny farthing cutting (Phil says: “did you notice he even has a great moustache?”) done by the always brilliant Wayde Dunn (WaydeDunn.com).
