Is there anything Efix can’t do? From his scarification work to his surgical modifications, Efix can pretty much take on any challenge and pull it off brilliantly. Heck, even when he’s taking a rare break to relax while on his Australian tour, he still looks good. So good in fact that he’s totally worthy of today’s BMEBoy post!

There must be something in the water in St. Petersburg because it seems like every week the #Leeds Suspension Team comes up with yet another suspension related photo shoot. What’s really incredible is that they’re continually upping the bar when it comes to using suspensions as an art form in their works. This week we’ve got a piece entitled “Medieval Virgins”.
This is just one of a number of photos the crew sent in for this set, as well as a couple of other sets shot recently. It’s definitely worth taking a few minutes and checking out the team’s BME gallery.

I was hoping to save that headline for a picture of a helicopter tattoo, but I suppose a Predator tattoo will work just as well.
We’ve seen portraits by Zoran a couple of times before. Most notably his Che and Joker portraits.
While this doesn’t seem to be taken from a still in any of the films, it does resemble the mask from some of the comic books. As you’ve probably already guessed, this particular portrait came from the sci-fi tattoo gallery.

Now before you check out this scar, you have to keep in mind that although the scar is similar to the cover art for Joy Division’s “Unknown Pleasures” album, the owner of the scar is not a Joy Division fan, but does like the image of the pulsar graph.
This cutting was done by Fousage from Hell.cz in Prague. You can find more photos of the cutting, including some procedural shots in the cutting gallery.

While this fox is still in progress, it is still a damn fine looking piece.
Jakub Nadrowski from Forsaken Ink in Bloomingburg, NY sent in this tattoo that is 6 hours along. As you’ve probably guessed by now, it can be found in the nature and wildlife gallery.

When the end comes, this Philadelphia native will be prepared. Thanks to Joey Knuckles at Olde City Tattoos in Philadelphia, he’ll have eyes in the back of his head watching the bombs as they drop.
