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.

  • Stitched Arm

    Zae Dolly has begun working on a patchwork themed tattoo on her arm, by David Frazee at T-Cats in Flint, Michigan. She says it will be the foundation of a symbolic piece representing her life journey. She plans on mixing in smaller “random” tattoos onto the patches that will fill out the story of her life in detail.

  • Hard Palate Tattoo

    I could have sworn I posted this before, but I couldn’t find it in my searches. I think that Gnomoweb has probably the only palate tattoo that I’ve ever seen with this sort of sketchy star… I don’t see any reason why — other than coordinating it — it’s so unheard of, but it is. His was done by Franca at Tattoo Way in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

  • Elaine Davidson Update

    For those that didn’t see it on his page, Everything and Nothing sent in a few more photos of Elaine Davidson (previously) that he took back in ’98 at a Scottish tattoo convention. There is a genital closeup photo after the break.

  • Magnetic Implant Ultrasound

    Morbus sent in a couple photos from an ultrasound of a week old magnetic implant that Roland from Visavajara put into his finger. The implant is circled in red, and you can see in the left photo where it’s positioned in relation to the joint.

  • White Ink Healing Problems

    Spookshow-baby-79 has been having some unusual problems with her white ink tattoos. They’re now a full nine months old, and are still not settled… You can see two more close-ups after the break and you can see that it goes through phases of “crocodile skin” and being covered in tiny blackheads which open up and bleed. Not fun, and I expect medical intervention will be required — when a tattoo doesn’t settle down after that long, it quite likely never will.

    If anyone has any useful advice or experience, please do post it.
