This heartfelt memorial portrait was conceived to commemorate the life of a friend that was tragically cut short after he was sucked face-first into a black hole, the scene of which is horrifically rendered above, and — oh, wait, the pages were stuck together, this is the right story:
I stuck my face in the photocopier when it was slow at the shop and my buddy got it tattooed.
So … not all that horrific or tragic, actually. Glad to hear it. Photo of the original photocopy, after the jump.
(Tattoo by Rich at Silver Line Tattoo in Ottawa, Ontario.)

if ya like it ya like it, if you don’t ya don’t
the artist had a good time doing it and did a great job, we had some good laughs and that’s that i guess
this isn’t anything worth spilling your heart out about.

i just am seeing more and more often artists inking things on people that would make a funny illustration or a goofy thing to post on myspace for a month, but to hold in your skin forever? it’s just strange, to me. i have a full leg sleeve and most of it is traditional style work and none of it really means anything significant but it’s not like this. i guess i just don’t understand why someone would be willing to turn their body into a permanent inside joke based on a spur of the moment decision.
it’s just that like #25 said, there are stereotypes out there, and it’s true that when we all decided to modify ourselves we made a decision not to quite fit in with the “status quo” and to fall into people’s stereotypes of us, but when the predominant blog on the subject of modification on the internet is touting this stuff as great work, well, then as a community, maybe we should be a little cheesed off. yeah, it’s the internet, but the web is becoming a more important source every day for understanding almost anything. this blog is how we represent ourselves to each other and to anyone who decides to find out what a modified person is into.
and i’m sorry, i’m just not going to get a skin removal of a huge hard dick! i’m not one of those people, even if i am heavily tattooed! it’s not even a well done scarification. It’s not great work, it’s shit, and it’s “funny”, so it’s on modblog.
And no, Sophie, there’s nothing inherently wrong with the work presented here. Yes, as a facsimile of the photocopied face, it’s great work for what it is. But I mean, it’s just “cute”– it’s not some epic backpiece or some incredible suspension, or an interesting new piercing, or even a new idea for something. It’s just some silly tattoo and it’s not really worth blogging about, you know?

melissa, if you had taken the three seconds to click through on the dick skin removal, and read what the girl said about it, you’d know its not supposed to be a funny piece and is representative of her personal beliefs. GERROFFIT !!
