Well, I think my tattoo has healed enough and is close enough to done that I can post it here. This was done over four sessions by Shane Faulkner at King of Fools in Toronto (an amazing tattoo artist that’s done almost all of my work), and is based on a Tom of Finland painting combined with several pieces of artwork from BME/HARD as well. Anyway, it’s kind of tricky to take a picture of your own chest, but here you go:
Yes, I am also a fan of gay mermen…
ModBlog returns for real tomorrow or Tuesday. I hope everyone had as fun a weekend as the dudes in my chestpiece!

to throw it out there–would any heterosexual ever get a homosexual scene tattooed on them? how about vice versa?

i’d like to follow you around the beach photographing the expressions on people’s faces when they get a look at that.

Ahna- Shannon’s straight, so…. yes.

26- I have my doubts but I needed to confirm with asking as many hetero men around, while they don’t see a problem with the art, most of them told me that to get it tattoed on you, it has to have a “deeper” personal symbolism… 😉
Shannon- the obvious question, did you get that gay scene tattoed just for visual liking ?

Well, I don’t really have a problem with “gay art” and homosexual motifs, but I don’t see this as a homosexual tattoo. Obviously it’s sexual in nature, but *I* don’t perceive it as homosexual. I’m a big fan of male pinup art as well, but I don’t see how that makes me any more homosexual than a woman who doesn’t skip over BMEgirls entries.
To dig my hole deeper, I don’t think that male-male CBT has to have anything to do with sexual orientation, and I certainly know straight guys that are far more into playing with other guys in their SM lives than they are playing with women. I tattooed what *I* like… if other people want to read orientation into it, it doesn’t bother me, but they’d be wrong.
Anyway, I’m only gay when I’m drunk.

Love the colour.

Great tattoo. There is so much color saturation that your chest just might be bullet proof now. I do not recommend testing it out though and I will not be held responsible if you do.

I like it. I don’t see any homosexual images. Rather, I see an amazing chest piece. The shading and colouring are amazing, and it’s just over all a great piece.
And I must say, the gay merman tattoo make me giggle. I like how the one merman has his penis right on his tail…

The S&M same sex hard play is pretty interesting to me. Well on that one I couldn’t say it’s not also about orientation to me since I’ve been in relationships with both sex, but there’s something about same sex together that exudes either super masculinity or the opposite. I’m still trying to figure out if it does the same thing to people who only have one orientation or if visual pleasing images are just it, something we like to look at without a deeper meaning to it. Either way, very interesting subject.

The chest and arm tattoos really compliment each other. I think that they bring out the other’s colors very vibrantly…
