Everyone I’ve showed this to kept trying to figure out whether it had something to do with free drugs for sailors. That said, everyone I showed it to was probably on drugs anyway. Daiyne‘s tattoo (by Sean Donovan, Sick Creations, Snohomish WA) has a far more responsible explanation — it means “drug free” in Gaelic.
The tattoo on the right is of course an ASCII rose, and on the left is Curtis‘s username in a UNIX root command prompt. It’s by Shane Hart in Lawrence, KS, but Curtis emphasizes that the fading is because he was deployed with the US Army right after this was done.

Tattooed on CreativeNonFiction by Jenn at Skin Prints in Eau Claire, WI… I appreciate the irony discovered when I pulled out the shadows of the photo!

Alright, this is why I shouldn’t doodle away at ModBlog images (like this Italian beach photo) while I’m not really paying attention because I’m watching TV or something and get all carried away… You can click through if you want to see the original on BME. My apologies to everyone involved.
Or to put it properly, Atemi-waza! Personally I prefer simple old joint locks… Massaar just got this funny tattoo (“Austin Powers-ish, I know”) by Daniel Innes here in Toronto.
“I go to heaven for the weather, I go to hell for the company”, tattooed on kri$10 by Jim Judeikis by Saints and Sinners in Baltimore, Maryland.
‘High Society,’ by Texas Body Art in Houston.
How appropriate! (“Vida” means “life”). Joao sends in this picture of his tattooed hand (by Anderson at Outlaws Tattoo in Petropolis, RJ, Brasil) with his eight month pregnant sister.
Anyway, there should be a nice big BME update (starting work on that shortly with Phil) that’ll get posted tomorrow, but ModBlog is done until Moday or Tuesday… See you then! Hope it stays online — it’s getting linked like crazy because of the wristwatch piercing.
