When it’s a nice summer day in Cape Town, South Africa, don’t be surprised if you stumble across PrettyHateMachine out on her lunch break in a cupcake shop.
That oriental style tattoo on her shoulder was done by Garth Staunton from Wildfire, also from Cape Town.

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.

The artist formerly known as IAM:omglolzroflmao has packed up his bags and moved to the cold northern wilds of Edmonton, Alberta. But just because he’s in the cold, doesn’t mean he doesn’t heat up the town when he goes out.
See, no matter where Chris goes, the party is sure to follow. That dashing young man on the left happens to be the one and only Alfonso Ribiero, star of Silver Spoons, and some show about a rapper. I’ll let you guys and gals decide which one of them is the BMEBoy.
Oh, and I would be remiss not to point out Chris’ black arm in progress, as well as his BME Calm logo tattoo on his neck.

The newest member of the IAM family, EG_217, sent in some photos of her suicide suspension facilitated by Brian Wood. I like that this was taken in a storefront of some kind, giving her the look of being on display.

If you think the cosmetic tattoos out there are pretty boring, wait until you get a load of this.
While I don’t have any information on the artist responsible, you can still get a great look at these elaborate eye tattoos in the facial tattooing gallery. The design covers both eyes, as well as extending back onto the ears.
