Hey, you heard the sexy naked tattoo. Get crackin’.

Pizza? Good. Old school tattoos? Good. Food tattoos? Good. I think we all know how I feel about this piece.

Hey, lettering scarification — especially in cursive — may be difficult, but still … I think you’re being a little hard on yourself.

Quite the murderer’s row of babies on the old ModBlog lately, no? First we had last week’s Smurficide, and now Back Sass Jezebel‘s stunning little Dahlia Grace here just made my heart explode. Good grief. It just got a little dusty here at the office.

This isn’t a particularly provocative statement, but DrPhil‘s back-piece up there is one of the more original designs I’ve seen in a while. Not that something has to be unique to be great, of course, but there’s some stylistic stuff here you just don’t see very often, and I think it makes for an interesting piece. Also, any reference to The Clash, intentional or not, is a winner.
