Let’s Talk About Text, Baby!
#Let’s talk about all the good things you want tattooed on your (pause…) body#
Everyone likes words don’t they! I’ve got a couple of favourites myself: Slippery is one them, bulbous is pretty high up on the list too, as are artichoke, crumbs, flaccid, tubular, shazam (is a word) and shuffle to name but a few..
I could go on but I really shouldn’t, I can’t afford to get too excited at my ripe old age and none of them appear in the following set of photos anyway.
Life is ace!
These are Paul‘s fingers by Gary of Positive Vibrations (rather appropriately), Portugal.
Next is a “titty-tatt” on the beautifully cursed and happily curved Stacy, by Manuel, Tattooed Planet, Tempe, AZ.

The last in this series isn’t strictly text, ok it’s not text at all but I though it was quite cute.
Whilst James was employed as an EMT he managed to smuggle his wife into the hospital he was working at, perform an EKG on her, secrete the graph paper in a hollowed out Ohmeda 4700 OxyCap Pulse Oximeter Monitor (he’d planned this months in advance, obviously) then vanish like a pair of wrinkly ninjas before anybody noticed..
Me and my heart went boom, boom titty boom titty boom titty boom, when I found you!

This beautiful dedication tattoo is by Jason Stephan, Hart and Huntington Tattoo (Orlando shop). Again, click for a closer look..
And lastly it’s Josh Justin, who looks pretty pleased with himself after a successful prom and a spot of automobile vandalism.
Josh Justin, as much as we appreciate the free advertising I don’t think that sort of reckless behaviour’s going to do us any favours.
The Idea Gun
“My back has the most meaning to me, it’s for my family. My father passed away and he is the center gravestone, the rest of my family that has passed will be on the other surrounding stones. this was also my first tattoo. The quote on my arms, I basically live by!”

Skull Me Beautiful!
Sorry about the larger than usual gap between posts, I went air conditioner hunting (grrrrr) after work and it was lame.
To keep you entertained until we get back to the boyz here’s a piece by Dr. Quinn (featured recently)..
One Chance, One Life. So Get A Job!!
Ok, I know I said today would be a BMEBoys day, but I can’t seem to find these two guys on IAM, I’m going to post them anyway as I’m sure someone will recognise them!
Second photo after the break..
Tattoo on Cory by Mark Brettrager, Rising Tide Tattoo, Newark, Ohio.
“Poland is a crazy country!! People here don’t understand that if you have piercings or tattoos you’re a normal person. I am twenty years old and I cant find a job in my city because of how I look.”
I know how he feels in a way as I’ve lost a job due to my piercings (although they really were being unreasonable and I wasn’t willing to let them get away with such ignorance, but I’ll save that story for another day). Personally though I’d much rather sacrifice a job if it meant I could be myself and find employment in an atmosphere that made me happy. If an employer can’t look past physical appearance and are incapable of basing their decision on your skills, experience and personality, it’s likely they’re not worth working for anyway.
Just don’t wear a t-shirt like that to the interview. Kthx
Love Openings.
STFU and Read!
This tattoo (by Bruce at Body Art Tattoo, Newport Beach, CA) has to be one of my favourites of recent months. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this sprayed on a wall around Toronto, along with “Think, Please!” Toronto graffiti artists are quite special.

“I’ve wanted my knuckles tattooed for years, so after a few days of internal struggle and a few drinks I decided to go for it! I think that people nowadays are getting lazier and are less informed, so my tattoos are a reminder to me and everyone else to educate yourself and read more!”
If I could afford to have my books shipped over from England, I would definitely do as I’m told..
