Cover-ups can be a tricky thing to pull off. The new design has to take the old work into account, both in shape and ink choices. The ideal result being a tattoo that covers the original one, and making the owner happy. For Christina Michelle, this owl by Justin Lamoreux in Milwaukee, came out just the way she wanted it.

Tattoos can have all different kinds of meanings, some are simple, and others can have a meaningful story behind them. This tattoo is the latter. Amanda Grace Leadman from No Ka Oi Tattoo in Philadelphia helped one individual bring to life a tattoo design that signifies something very important.
“This tattoo connects my journey and my destination as a genderqueer trans person. Amanda and I collaborated in it’s design.”
The design they came up with is this, a pair of mating slugs suspending from a rusty key.

Triskelions seem to be popular these days as it’s the second one we’ve seen in the past week, although in this case it’s a scar and not 33 microdermals. This one in particular was done on Huxley by none other than Steve Haworth, while he was a guest artist at Piercings by J in Guelph, ON.

It’s easy, Michael Kozlenko‘s latest client. There’s so much going on in this chest/shoulder/arm piece, and all of it is awesome. Each section is unique, yet they all tie so well together. Have a look for yourself.
You can check out more of Michael’s work in the Kipod Tattoo Portfolio.

Leave it to the Mercury Suspension Team to put together a 4 person devil’s tightrope pull for a fundraiser. IAM:Benolyn sent in the photos from the event, but she didn’t include the names of anyone involved in the pull, although I do see Bradde on the far left of the first photo.
Update from Benolyn: The people pulling are Bradde Hamman, Josh Anderson, Travis Boersma, and Cory Boersma. Flec is our slackrope extraordinaire, and our anchor people are Matt Borsa, Pat Kuhn, John Osborne, and Andrew “Big Poppa” Mitchell.

Listen up Toronto area ModBlog readers. As you may have heard, Sony Pictures is currently filming Total Recall around the city and they’re looking for some modified people to be in the film. So if you live in or around Toronto, check out the listing below.
Total Recall, a Sony Pictures Film starring Colin Farrell, Jessica Biehl, and Kate Beckinsale, is shooting here in Toronto and requires background performers who have elaborate tattoos (preferably facial and head, neck and arms), multiple visible piercings, and/or any sub/transdermal implants or other body modifications. The filming will take place in mid-August, with details coming closer to the shoot date. Anyone interested should email a photo (highlighting tattoos and any modifications) as well as contact information to David Seymour at [email protected]. Any other questions regarding the film will be fielded upon receipt.
If you are interested, make sure to mention that you found out about this through BME. Who knows, we may be seeing more of these in the future.

I love seeing photos where it’s clear that the person in them is really enjoying themselves. After seeing both of these smiles, it’s safe to say JuliaIrys had a blast with poking a hole through her cheek, then playing with the blood afterwards.

You know someone is a fan of video games when they get a tattoo of a video game character from a game that isn’t even released yet. Diablo 3 is sure to be a big hit, and this tattoo of the witch doctor by Roger from Star City Tattoo in Roanoke, VA shows us just how excited Diablo fans are for the new game.
