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.

  • Kick Ass.

    Continue reading for some more shots of the tattoos that iam:kickin’ ass since 1985 has running up the back of her legs — I quite like that they end in 1/4″ jacks — as well as her nice pubic penguin tattoo. The pubic piece was done by Vicky at Wildcat in Antwerp, Belgium, and the legs are by Gaïtan at Paul and Friendz Brussels Tattoo in Brussels, Belgium.

  • Butterfly Train

    This gorgeous legpiece (photo: Deerheart), crossing over on the feet, was done for Nadine by Marc from the Swastika Freakshop in Germany. He’s also doing a great set of wings for her which you can check out both on BME and on her page.

  • Custom Titanium Industrial Jewelry

    Karl had a pair of lobe piercings and a helix (with 14ga rings in them), and after seeing a lot of nice industrial piercings, he decided he wanted something himself. As a jewelry maker, he made himself what he calls “Kadster’s Cubics and Claws“, a piece of custom titanium jewelry he made for himself. It’s put into the lobes first, and is then turned upside down to fit into the helix.

  • Yowch! Under the fingernail tattoo!

    It probably won’t last (I’ll post a follow-up if there’s something to post), but this writer’s fingernail got torn off at work, so they thought “why not get a skull tattoo” (done by Jake at Alkali Tattoo and Body Piercings in Janesville, WI) and see what would happen… Yes, it hurt a lot.

  • Dia De Los Robotos!

    I got a laugh out of this geeky 50s robot take on a Day of the Dead type skull, done by Step at 46 and 2 in Fargo, ND. See also Day of the Dead tattoos, Sugar Skull tattoos, and Dia De Los Muertos tattoos (I’m loving the new keyword galleries) for lots more in this style.
