I’m really glad there’s some picutres of him up again.
It isn’t as shocking to see as I thought it would be, compared to the other pictures anyways.
I really like the lower half of his sleeve too.
Yayy. I was waiting for more pictures! 😀
I love the skull/brain transition. It’s so well done.
He’s got a lovely shaped skull. I wonder what’s going through it.
I really love this, it is creative and unique.
I really like how the tattoo faded — it still loks fucking amazing, and is a lot elss threatening (which may or may not be good, in his opinion.)
oh wow. when i’d first seen the photos of him a while back i was just thinking how brave he was for doing it, and wondered how it was going to look in the long run.
with the rest of the skull tattooed, it works out very nicely and looks fucking awesome! kudos!
This looks fucking awesome!
So everyone freaked out when the first pictures of him were posted but now you see most of his upper body, you see that he’s really heavily tattooed anyway so the chances of him regretting it aren’t as massive as people thought.
It really changes his whole face though, I wonder what he looked like before.
i agree with stacey! i want to see a before pic too! 😀
this is amazing by the way. i’m not just speaking as a body mods aficionado, but as a neuroscience major 🙂
i think he is really sexy…
i love all of his tattoos, but i too am curious as to what he looked like before the skull facial tattoo.
fucking awesome tattoos. fucking awesome.
Awesome, his neck is something else too.
looks amazing. i agree the tattoo is much less intimidating and it really blends in well with the other pieces on his body.
It looks really better than the first set of photos !
ha, every time I see that kid on the bus I want to say hi, but I think it’d be a little odd ‘oh hey, I saw you on modblog’….
It’s been said but I agree, once the tattoo faded a bit it definitly got less imtimidating. I like it a lot.
Wow, he’s sexy as all hell.
Still freaks me out. So, there’s a bit of consistency for you.
I’m kind glad the tattoo has faded cause before he looked super fucking creepy. I’m not a huge fan of his skull face, but I’m totally diggin his neck tattoo and the top of his head.
Holy god, he is SO BEAUTIFUL.
That dude looks excellent, I love his tattoos.
man, we got some way better photos of him from the convention. his name is rick and he’s actually a fairly gentle, soft-spoken guy. surprisingly, you stop noticing his facial tattoos almost as soon as you start talking to him.
oops i didn’t mean to dis “matt”s photos! i just meant we have some shots of him that are really nice.
At first I tought he had to be a complete retard.
Now I think he is a COOL retard, especially given the first picture.
Please post links to the other photos. I’m obviously pretty fascinated to see more.
I like his neck and arm/hand tatoos but the face tatoo still basically obliterates his face, at least in photos, like pretty much any full face tatoo does but worse. It’s like wearing a mask 24/7, I can’t really imagine doing this to yourself.
i agree. it looks a lot better now since it’s faded a bit.
it seems .. more natural.
Still amazing.
Quite simply, that rocks!!!
Aw, he’s adorable. 🙂 Digging the work on his neck..
Remarkable is right…and he’s absolutely adorable. Love it…
He should work night security at a cemetery.
i agree with 26, in that his particular facial tat seems to just cover his face rather than for instance, a maori tat or shannon’s white ink that works WITH the face.
I think this round of photos put his whole vibe into context more. I dont know, but when I saw these it was just “ahh, i get it now”. Pretty rad.
Ah, now see how much better things are when one can see the bigger picture. The whole skeletal-zombie head and neck motif looks very good and works with the other work visible in the pictures.
I don’t think you can call him Skullboy anymore, but memes like this are of an intractable sort.
The top of his head is awesome!
wow, it looks amazing! excellent tattoo
What’s even more impressive is that he’s talking to Dave Grohl.
I am in awe, that is amazing.
Its good to see he can make facial expressions! He is rather sexy..
i fucking love this man, wow. fucking deadly.
for some reason I find the whole look hot… or maybe he is but heck id tap that
awesome neck work
That is brilliant, I absolutely love it!
Favourite part is the neck area with the ‘tendons’
I think he’s beautiful :]
i love this get some more pics of him please!!
#17, I totally agree. Wow.
He’s such a pretty skullboy now 🙂
The more I see this tattoo, the more I like it. The neck is awesome.
tight!
