This gorgeous white ink snowflake is by Timppa from Other Side Tattoo in Lahti, Finland (a rather snowy place I’m sure). This picture was taken a week after the first touch-up, and at least one more snowflake will be added still. Seriously, I wish more people would do these — and more artists would do them! Don’t go to just anyone though if you want something like this as white is notoriously hard to put in evenly, and very easy to contaminate.

Spongebob squarepants on a motorcycle… Tattoo by Richie Richardson at Blue Horseshoe in Hampton, VA. It’s changed from the standard spongy rider picture, but part of me thinks this is stock art? Well, feel free to post the specifics if you know them and feel it’s important!

Red blood drops with black skull and crossbones on skinhead69 and his partner (see it in action). It was done while on vacation in Portland, and their own blood was mixed in with the ink as well (although I guess you could argue that happens with most tattoos).

Evildustin seems to have just had his face entirely branded by John Kid at the Piercing Lounge in Madison. He says it wasn’t so bad, but I’m guessing he’s got a killer high pain threshhold, a hyfrecator is brutal in my opinion… Anyway, he’s new to IAM — go say hello!

And other than a note that the tattoos are by Eva Jung at Euphoric Body Art in Middletown, NY, no explanation as the blood dripping shower walls was included! But that’s OK, I’m not looking a gift horse in the mouth.

Fishywoman‘s son has an ear piercing that has been growing and continues to grow a keloid. They figure that it’s growing either way, so why not let him keep the jewelry in? Anyway, it was done with a gun six years ago when he was eight… I assume surgery to remove it is being planned.
(Note: my advice would be to take out the jewelry to minimize the growth as much as possible).
