Here’s some great blackwork/dotwork from Marc of Swastika-Freakshop. And before anyone even thinks to say it, no this isn’t a nazi symbol.

I fall to pieces

Patsy Cline is one of the few country artists that even folks who don’t listen to country music can enjoy. Although something tells me that the owner of this tattoo is probably a country fan.

All dogs go to heaven
Written by
The memorial tattoo gallery is one of the newer galleries on BME, however it’s quickly filling up with some fantastic pieces. Memorial tattoos always carry a strong emotional tie with the owner as they serve as a permanent reminder of loss. This one in particular serves as a reminder that just because our pets aren’t human, it doesn’t mean they don’t play an important role in our lives. This one was submitted anonymously, but it shows just how important this one furry family member was to someone.

Sniper Elf
Written by
According to Arseniy the best snipers are elves. Now when I think of elves I tend to picture them with a bow and arrow, but I suppose a sniper rifle works just as well.

Did you say “Hello”?
No I said ‘Allo, but close enough.
From this little worm to David Bowie’s codpiece, Labyrinth is a fantastic film filled with amazing images that are just ripe for tattoo material. Jay Wheeler from Eternal in Detroit put together this piece of the worm and one of the door knockers.

Self Preservation or Self Harm?
Written by
Before I get into this post I want to post a quick warning, while these scars were created by a professional, they do resemble self-harm scars. If you feel that viewing them may be a trigger to you, then you’re advised to skip this post and move on to the next.
Alright, now as I mentioned above, these scars were created by Arseniy Andersson for a client that wished to have scars that resemble self-harm scars. The reason is that the client wanted to avoid military service in Russia, which evidently is avoidable if you can prove that you are a danger to yourself or others. I think this is the first I’ve personally seen a scar used in such a manner. The closest comparison I can think of is people getting scarification pieces that resemble dueling scars although in this case the scars aren’t meant to show off toughness, but rather to avoid army duty.
I’m curious to hear your thoughts on this. Do you think this is a legitimate way to avoid service? Do you think he’s exploiting his knowledge of self-harm?

Not by the gem on her chinny chin chin…
Written by
We’ve already had a BMEBoy today, so how about a BMEGirl. This on in particular has a healed microdermal on her chin that was put in by Arseniy Andersson. If you look close you can also see the implant she has on her chest.

Inner Space Invaders

Go figure, the day I throw on my Space Invaders shirt is the same day these appear in the 3d implant gallery. This photo was taken 68 days after the implants were put in by Andrey Senkin from St. Petersburg.

Holiday BMEBoy

So it’s thanksgiving up here in Canadaland, and from what I understand it’s Columbus day south of the border. So here’s some eye candy for the holiday in the form of 1DeX6 from the Lip Plate gallery.
