A tattooed person suspends from hooks, laying flat, one leg higher than the other. Their head is back, and they seem to be smiling, dark hair dangling like an anime character.

  • The Friday Follow-up

    Yeesh.  One more week of shopping left before christmas.  Well, at least we’ve got a scar follow-up to help round out the week.  This one is by the president of my fan club, Richard “Effin” Ivey, who is no stranger to the Friday Follow-up.

    And here it is four months later..

  • Guess What?

    You know how to play the game.  I show you a photo, you tell me what you think it is.

    Well?  Got any guesses?  Make one and read on to see if you’re right.

    I hope you didn’t all guess genitals.  Because Thundercats79′s nose certainly isn’t considered genitalia.  For those taking measurements, those are 2ga high nostril piercings.

  • Providing the Framework

    I tend to avoid posting unfinished tattoos.  However once in a while an unfinished piece comes along that stands on its own, even if it isn’t yet how the artist intends it to be seen.  This dotwork piece by geRi (IAM: Pharmaecopia14) from Swastika Tattoo in Budapest is only halfway complete, yet with the stencil visible, it could easily pass for a completed piece, provided the stenciling was actually tattooed.

  • The Spaces In Between

    As many tattooed ModBlog readers know, eventually you can get to a point where you’ve covered most of an area in tattoos.  However, when someone’s collection is made up of a variety of pieces, they can end up with small spaces between each piece.  The spaces will no doubt be large enough to be noticed, but too small to fill in with a new piece.  So what do people do?  They get filler.  Most of the time filler can be things like flowers, water, smoke, shading, extending a piece, etc.  The point is to make the area completely covered, while maintaining the integrity of each individual space.  So what does this have to do with this post?  Well, from what I can tell, these multicolored skulls are being used as a filler to bridge the two pieces together.  And even though they may be a filler piece, they still look good and could be held up on their own as an individual tattoo.
