Since everyone seemed to like the last Giger sleeve I posted, I wanted to add Bosko’s biomech bodysuit, largely inspired by Giger pieces — he’s 49, and the fomer CEO of a top firm in Serbia. The tattoos were done over two and a half years by Boban at Bomba Tattoo in Novi Sad, Serbia. The tattoos were done with Talens India Ink instead of regular tattoo ink because Bosko developed an allergy, which eliminated their ability to do standard graywash shading in the piece.
Full photos continue after the break. On his back is a large Giger baby with machine gun arms based on an exhibition photo, on his right side is Giger’s Samurai painting, and a biomech girl on the right, and his belling is based on Giger’s Landscape XVIII.

Just goes to prove, if you really want something, nothing will get in the way. And wow, well done to Boban. The intensity of the ink has worked well and given normally dark Giger that extra deep sense of darkness. Nice one.

The babies and the ogre on the back sort of remind me of that movie “The City Of Lost Children”. Props to you for such great work.

Amazing tattoo. Excellent work. I just don’t get the “Cuddles” thing either. But then again I don’t have to.

Fantastic. I like the “glove”. Often I think about getting a tattoo, just for the sake of it, but then I think no, it’ll get in the way of my planned biomech bodysuit. These pictures are a definite inspiration to wait it out and get something big and quality.

It’s done in India Ink? My husband has an ink allergy of sorts and is lusting for more tattoos. Is this a common practice or unique to the artist? Does anybody have any information about this sort of thing? I’m headed straight to Google but figured I’d ask here first.

Yes, it’s all done using Talens Indian Ink (‘India’ is a typo). We had tried Micky Sharpz, Kuro Sumi and Diabolo Novum black inks before Talens. However, I developed bad rashes and my skin rejected all these inks to a greater or lesser extent. I don’t know if Indian Ink would prove to be safe for your hubby, but it did the trick for me.
Hope this helps,
Bosko

Beutifull work no other way to describe it.
With india ink it might be best if you do some test spots maybe 5 millimeters across with different kinds of inks on discret locations on your body.
I have to be careful since i suffer frpm Atopic Dermatits on my legs. but ive used pelikan Number 17 ink without problems in my hadpokes.
