It took me too long to figure out what this says… I thought it was Gaellic or something, and then I realized the photo was taken in the mirror and Snap Dragon‘s still unfinished piece actually says “PAIN”.
Think about how it was taken

HUNGRY
So hungry… By Chris Hornus at Consolidated Ink and Steel.
Skull and Crossbones DESTROY chestpiece
THE FUCKED WHICH BELONGS TO YOU
STANSMOKEFOOT
Do you want an explanation, or would you like to revel in the photo for a moment?
It’s Spahnranch‘s husband smoking with her foot, tattooed with his name in little kid script, done by Ray Askey in State Line Tattoo in Silver Spring, Maryland.
FEAR NO MAN
If I ever decide to get tattoos that’ll make me look dangerous in prison (I’m currently more in the “mega-target” category), I think I’ll go to Yaya at Murda Ink in Queens, NY. I’m not sure if that came out right, but I thought this was a pretty good example of “I want a tattoo that’s going to make me look even tougher!”
The edge seems safer these days
This is what has become of a formerly underground artform. Somewhere a prison tattoo scratcher is rolling over in his unmarked grave from shame. Ha… Just kidding! Thanks to Amber and Jackie for sending their matching “livin’ on the edge” tattoos by Valerie Tate in Dalton, GA.

Whenever I see single words tattooed on people, all I can think of is the Skin project (the book tattooed word by word across a ton of people)… Anyway, these fresh 12ga nipple piercings are by Noah at Evolution in Albuquerque, NM.

God I love microcults. Black toe forever. Mancore forever. Actually, I only scored a ninety, so I’m apparently just barely a man so maybe I should be offended. Death to Mancore! Anyway, the left photo (assuming I didn’t get the two mixed up) is on littlejohn and the other is on evilpixie by Metalurgey in Dundee, Scotland.
I’ve been naughty
Sorry for not posting over the past “few” days. Let’s see if I can manage more than today’s sporadic post this week… This tattoo is by Sandi C, currently at Twisted Sol in Denver, Colorado.
