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.

  • Oversized decorative jewelry

    Raur just got herself some new heavy gauge jewelry. It’s not for everyone, but hey, when you’re bored at least this jewelry helps pass the time. Welcome to Sweden.

  • Do you have a signed tattoo?

    I don’t really know why, but it always kind of weirds me out when I see a tattoo that has been signed by the artist. It’s not that there’s anything wrong with it, it’s just very unusual… I think it often even makes the tattoo artist uncomfortable — I strongly suspect that these two examples are only signed because the client insisted.

    Left tattoo is by Mike Boseman at Sleep Hollow Studios in Roanoke Rapids, NC, and the one on the right is by Wally Poltern (sorry, I don’t know the studio).

  • Medical Tattoos

    On the left is a medic alert tattoo on a diabetic (tattoo by Stacy Shappa at Electric Graffitti Tattoo in Muscatine, Iowa). On the right is a tattoo that signifies a more heavy duty body modification — an implanted defibrillator tattooed by DJ Rose at Halo Tattoos in Syracuse, NY.

  • MY SPOON IS TOO BIG

    Yes, it’s a MY SPOON IS TOO BIG tattoo. If you’re not sure what this is about, you can watch the inspirational video here (if that link is broken, just search online for “my spoon is too big”).

    I think I may have confused my records, but if I didn’t, that’s done by Rev. Marshall at Exotica Tattoo in Madison, WI. Marginally related are these wedding tattoos by Alastair “A.J.” Cameron-Hodges at Mom’s Tattoo in Amherst, Massachusetts.

    Now I feel dumb because I can’t remember the origin of this tattoo… Phil told me about it (and the first one in the entry too) when it came in, but he’s gone fishing today… So someone post in the forum about these!
