I’ve shown you the black half of this tattoo before, but I just had to share the full version, split up into balanced left and right luminosities, by Lionel at Out of Step (seriously, I know I push his work a lot, but do check out his gallery for more pictures).
People liked the forearm tattoo by Vincent Hocquet at Beautiful Freak I posted earlier this week, so I’d like to share another photo, this time of a backpiece. Oh, and note to artists and models: as much as a nice tattoo helps get you on ModBlog, so does a nice photo — and Vincent sends such nice photos!
Wow. This doesn’t even look real it’s so unusual (and wonderful) looking. Done by the consistently sexy -MFT- in Moscow, Russia. Lots more high res photos of this will be posted in Monday’s tattoo galleries of Olga’s white/negative tribal tattoo.
These beautiful sleeves enjoying the beach are by Vincent Hocquet at Beautiful Freak in St. Idesbald, Belgium. Anyway, I hope today’s updates are alright — I think I’m on day five of basically no sleep, and yesterday my doctor upped a bunch of stuff to try and help me sleep, but all it’s done so far is make me feel dopey during the day, ha… grr… I’d much rather be hanging out on the beach with this guy.
Miana‘s tattoo (look closely to decode its meaning) was done by Dave at Bobby Five in Toronto.
By Zele at United Tattoo Studios in Zagreb, Croatia.
I’m pretty sure I’ve featured more knockoffs of his work than originals done by him, so let me share this great dotwork backpiece (riding over top of a healed spiral branding) by Daniel DiMattia at Calypso Tattoo. His shop is in Belgium, but in December and early January he’ll be touring in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
San_Drini‘s awesome sleeve, almost complete, by Jotape at Baratattoo in Sao Paulo, Brasil.
This great looking chestpiece was done by Marc Pinto (marcpinto.com) using exclusively hand techniques, with no machines whatsoever involved.
