Thank your lucky stars

I’m sitting on a pile of tattoo photos that I wanted to post and I figured instead of spreading them out over a couple days, I’d do a nice big fat tattoo post. Hope you guys like it.

The first piece is by Matt Geiogamah of Club Tattoo in Tempe, AZ.

Now you know I can’t resist posting yet another Star Wars inspired tattoo. I’ll let you guys guess who this is supposed to be. Credit for the work goes to Leo Rojas Valenzuela out of Real Tattoo in Providencia, Santiago, Chile.

This big kitty came all the way from Japan. Naomisa wrote in “my lovi’n lovi’n lovi’n cats!!” and that’s about it!

Vimby Video – Norm AWR MSK

One of the names that popped up in the interview requests was Norm so it was great timing that his Vimby video just surfaced. I figured I’d post it, like I do with all of Vimby’s Tattooer Videos over here on Modblog to tied you over until BME can do it’s own interview with him. Norm’s script work has to be some of my favorite lettering out there. He’s developed a very beautiful style which gives a whole new meaning to black and grey lettering. He tattooed the palm of my hand a month ago which I’ve included after the jump.

You can check out more on his myspace or at Spotlight Tattoo in person here in Hollywood, California.


VIMBY – Norm MSK-AWR

It’s not the best quality photo since I took it with my iPhone but like I said, his script is really beautiful. There is something elegant yet still jailhouse about it. The “Norm” on his palm and the “LA” on my wrist are both by Jack Rudy of Good Time Charlie’s TattooLand

BMEtv – Joey Armstrong

Joey Armstrong can be found at Seventh Son up in San Franscisco along with some other seriously sick tattoo artists. He’s number five in our little mini series. Hope you like it!

Since a lot of people have asked, I’m planning on including artists from all over the world through out our community. This isn’t going to be a tattoo artists only series, I just haven’t gotten to piercers and other body modification artists. BME covers everything inside of the modification world, I just happen to have started with the tattooers around me. I’ve been compiling a list of people to interview from the comments and suggestions that people have sent me. Thank you for all of your feed back and don’t forget to check out the other episodes we’ve done.

Beauty is in the eye of the bird.

Jesse-Lynn sent in some of her latest work. It happens to be well suited for BME and Modblog, what with being a peaCOCK of course. It’s late, or early depending on how you look at it but I thought it was amusing to see the recent influx of peacock tattoos. They’re a beautiful bird. I’ve seen some really shitty interpretations of this bird but luckily this isn’t one of them. If you want to catch up with Jesse-Lynn, you can find her at Oceans of Ink in Sussex, NB or through her IAM page.

Pugsly von puggles

I had this whole post about Anna and her pug Heinz and why he looks so weirded out, it was even kind of funny. Then I don’t know what happened but it didn’t get saved and I figure it’s probably for the best. I’m sure the older draft is going to pop up after I post this one but I figure Anna is beautiful enough to be posted without further rambling by me.
