Return the Salute

Posted on September 21, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

Good morning, ModBloggers! Hope this sunny first Monday of autumn finds you well. Let’s begin our week with a murderous zombie, identified by its wearer as “Bub” from George A. Romero’s 1985 romantic comedy Day of the Dead. “It may be corny,” she says, “but Bub is destined to win your heart over, and that is why I got him on me. Along with the fact that [Day of the Dead] is one of my favorite movies.” Hey, that’s good enough for us, folks. Really exquisite work here. And now…time for lunch.

(Tattoo by Brandon Bracamonte at Fallen Angel Tattoo in Sacramento, California.)

You Are Evolution

Posted on June 2, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

As you’re all likely aware, whenever we come across modified professionals, we like to give them a little spotlight—it’s important for both members of the community as well as the “mainstream” to know that visible piercings, tattoos or anything else need not keep a skilled person from forging a particular career path. Well, up top there is Kasha, who, as you can see, has all manner of facial piercings, but hasn’t let that stop her from reaching her goal of being some sort of zombie-killing death merchant. As for the chunk of meat in that undead bastard’s mouth…merely a flesh wound, I’m sure. She’ll be fine.

Don’t Be Afraid To Look At Me

Why so sad, zombie geisha? Is it because your tear ducts are all gummed up with blood? Because your face is looking a little torn-up? Maybe because you’re a zombie? Oh…it’s probably because you miss your old glasses, isn’t it? Yeah, you probably just miss your old glasses.

(This excellent zombie geisha is worn by pdxPIERCER and was done by Sam at Adorn East in Portland, Oregon.)

Their Tanks and Their Bombs

And here we have Sao Paulo, Brazil’s O Corsario, showing off this brand new nightmarish zombie erotica, as tattooed by Berribilli. I’m liking the uncommon undead color scheme, all pinks and purples and lime greens. Kinda reminds me of a Vuarnet sweater I owned in the ’80s, except, you know, more brain-thirsty.

God Beat Me To It

Posted on May 10, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

Good afternoon, ModBloggers! It’s a sunny day, there’s a cool breeze, maybe you’ve got a frosty beverage in your hand…you know what that means, right? That’s right: Time to kill some m.-fuckin’ zombies. Just follow Jayse‘s lead and you’ll be just fine.

Fold My Hands and Pray For Rain

Posted on April 17, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

This outstanding, twisted rendering of some damned undead fellas just cold tearin’ apart a defenseless farm sow was tattooed by Tim Biedron at Deluxe Tattoo in windy Chicago. The images were entitled, “Poor Cashew,” but I can’t tell if this is an original piece or an adaptation of something else—if anyone knows, please fill us in. Otherwise, just enjoy this glorious grotesqueness for what it is. A few more shots, after the jump.

I’ve Got Nothing

Posted on March 10, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

If the heartwarming ending of Shaun of the Dead taught us anything (and I know I take the majority of my cues in life from British comedies), it’s that being a zombie isn’t necessarily the worst fate one can expect. Sure, you’re a mindless hell-beast whose soul quest is to feast on the flesh of the living, but at least you get to hang out with your friends and play video games, right? Right? Anybody? Sigh.

Sweet Zombie Suicide

Posted on February 6, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

And here we have a portrait of Suicide Girl Zepp Suicide, on her boyfriend, and done by Johnny Stiletto at Baltimore Street Tattoo in Hanover, Pennsylvania. I have to say, it’s not uncommon to hear (former?) models complain about the conditions when working for Suicide Girls, but the fact that they’ll extend contract offers to the grisly undead? Hey, that’s pretty progressive.
