Earlier in the year, at the Philadelphia Tattoo Convention, Dyscordic had a chance to do a 4 point elbow suspension in one of the convention showrooms. If I recall correctly, Crash was the one facilitating the suspensions that day, although you can’t see her in either of these photos.

From the mind of Gabor Zagyvai comes this piece entitled “Love of Family“.
I’m going to have to make a note to remind Jen to create a minimalist tattoo gallery, as Gabor is just one of many artists that are branching out into a minimalistic style.

Nick Whybrow is one of the many talented artists at Self Sacrifice in London. Recently he packed up his bags and has gone on an extended vacation to spend some time with his loved ones in the southern hemisphere. Before he left he did have time to do this one final tattoo at Self Sacrifice.
Don’t fret, Nick will be back eventually, and while he’s on the road he’s still going to be working and sending in his newest creations.

We’ve got some brand new photos in from Moscow’s Sinner Team. The crew hosted Black Fly Tattoo’s 6th annual suspension BBQ. With the help of a crane, they did some pretty impressive suspensions, including this 4pt modified superman, which I believe is now called the flying shrimp. I’ve seen similar suspensions, but this is the first time I’ve seen it down with 1 point in each knee below the kneecap. Normally there are 2 points on the sides of each knee. You can see more photos in the Sinner Team’s BME Gallery.

There’s no guesswork when it comes to knowing what this is. It’s a straight up crucifix comprised of iron nails and either vine or wire. The ruggedness of the cross links to the the crucifixion, in which Jesus was beaten and paraded through the streets. While a lot of cross tattoos use similar imagery, this is the first one I’ve seen using this style, and I’ve got to say, Jackie did a great job creating it.
