Hey, aw, this is sweet, right? Neither of these folks, Nadine (more) or Alex (more), are strangers to this corner of the Internet’s Wild West, but Nadine sent in these shots of the happy pair sporting a damn ocean’s worth of ink by our old friend Marc (with photos by Marc as well), and you know what? They were too damn cute to pass up. Everyone understands, right? Right. After the jump, some sound advice, in the form of a tattoo, etc.

After last night’s beautiful, colorful sleeve post, we took a (very scientific!) vote and decided, hey, how about another one? We’ve featured Terry Ribera’s work before, and it is almost singularly gorgeous, and this under-the-sea piece is really no exception. An underground tree, a giant crab and a little boy riding a mermaid who’s looking into a pearl/crystal ball? Looks like I picked the wrong day to stop huffing paint.

Hot on the heels of this vulgar hell-demon, here we have a fine facial flesh-removal piece by the eyebrow-impaired Brandon Vermillion at High Class Tattoos in Ventura, California. There’s a lot to appreciate here: First of all, it’s good, solid cutting that seems to be healing rather well. Second? You’re not going to find a better excuse to break out some Anchorman quotes. Free reign, folks.

Hey kids, it’s (almost) summer, and you know what that means, right? Casual Fridays are back! That’s our friendly neighborhood giant up there, hangin’ around, stretching out (in more ways than one), maybe getting ready to catch a little sun. That’s gonna leave one hell of a tan line, buddy. (Of course, click through to de-Phil.
Woo, it’s Friday. Time to fly.

And now, folks, it’s time to turn in for the evening, leaving behind a fine day of posts in our wake. Let’s finish things off with his bright and colorful bio-mechanical piece by Chris Krahn, he of the namesake Krahnic Body Art in Boise, Idaho. My favorite part? Has to the be the whirlpools on the elbow. And I know I’ve said it before, but man, isn’t it amazing that that’s what we all look like under our skin? The human body is a marvel and a mystery, truly.
