You know, even though they’re an outrageously simple design, I think you can never go wrong with tattoos of cherry blossoms. These ones just got finished by Scot at the oh-so-creatively-named Body Art in Shakopee, MN.

Triple Nipple Piercing
Written by
I spent today walking around New York City with my favorite (former) piercer from Psycho Tattoo in Tel-Aviv, Israel, so I thought I’d share with you this photo that I noticed had come from the same shop (by Victor). Damka actually has one of the better developed third nipples I’ve seen, so I think this will last.

Black Power Fist Tattoo
Written by
One of the things that I think is unfortunate about BME, and I think the modification community in general, is that it is racially skewed toward Caucasians (or at least that’s how it seems to me). Anyway, I wanted to share with you this with you (by Ron from Sacred Art Tattoo, Springfield, MO) because the strange truth is I have received more “animal rights” tattoos than “civil rights” tattoos. The priorities of modern society I suppose?

Here in NYC, trying to take a load off
Written by
Well, as you know it’s been a stressful last week (although I think that we all — IAM members especially) handled it really well. I’m in New York City right now as you know (a little business, a little pleasure, including meeting fellow body bloggers) so I’m trying to keep myself from working while I’m here, but you know me… I just can’t stop. But this picture care of Disintegrate pretty much sums up how I’d like my week to feel…
My hotel is right next to Central Park, so I suppose I could find a dandelion, but I think it’s still way too early in the season here to enjoy blowing away the seeds.

Cherry Blossom Rib Tattoo
Written by
I sure like this rib piece by Jay at Passage in Toronto after just the first sitting on Soliel. Not a fan of the big black bars, but what can I say? Beggars can’t be choosers — I have an evil half and a good half, with different needs. At least the good half is happy!

The Heart is a Puzzle
Written by
Yeah, I suppose I can relate to that. Actually, for me, the heart’s not so much a puzzle, but can be best summed up by what I believe is a quote from one of my favorite movies, Whale Music.
Born-again Christian: “Have you invited the Lord Jesus into your heart?”
Desmond Howl: “No, the place is a mess.”
Naw, just kidding, I know what’s up with my heart. I just wanted an excuse to quote that. Anyway, this puzzle heart tattoo (missing a piece) was drawn by the wearer (so please don’t copy it) and executed by Deluxe Tattoo in San Pedro, CA.
