What better way to kick off a Thursday then with a colourful Jellyfish done by Alex from My Tattoo Shop in Hialeah, FL.
IAM: krush3dr3amz sent in her newest tattoo to the miscellaneous tattoo gallery. Now while we haven’t seen her before on ModBlog, we did get to see her son get his first “tattoo” back in December.

Here’s another great tattoo from Nautica Tattoo in Carrickfergus, N.Ireland. This one is of a mechanical owl by Keith Nellins.
There are a few other pieces by Keith, and the other Nautica artists all over the tattoo galleries. This one in particular came from the new skool gallery.

Check out Vipera’s tits!
Pete Voutilainen from One Eye Tattoo in Helsinki, Finland tattooed these blue tits on her calves.
To give you a better idea of what they look like, here’s a close up of one of her tits. You can see the other one in the wildlife and nature tattoo gallery.
It reminds me of those old wildlife sketches, just a simple pencil sketch with some watercolors painted over top.
Now that I’ve posted some tits, maybe someone will send in a picture of their boobies.

With the new year I’m going to try to bring back the old tradition of a BME Boy or Girl post on Fridays. That doesn’t mean they won’t pop up during the week, but for those that look forward to the Friday hotness, consider your requests fulfilled.
Today we’ve got a couple of pictures of Stembot, who can make standing around in a kitchen or laying on a couch so much more than a mundane activity.
The octopus in the above photo was done by Ross Trimmer from True Tattoo in Richmond, VA
There’s one more photo of Stem, but you’ll have to keep reading to check it out.
See what I mean? She’s jaw-droppingly gorgeous.
There’s more photos of her in the BMEGirls gallery, as well as in several tattoo galleries.

This outstanding cephalopod tattoo was sent in by Margaj, who had the tattoo done by Ania from Szerytattoo in Warsaw. The style is fantastic, with the abstract elements almost making the octopus appear as an ink blot. It gives motion to an animal that is rarely ever seen at rest, while also giving the impression that the octopus is underwater, without explicitly drawing the water in the form of waves.

Well if nobody did, too bad, you’re getting more anyway! This time we’ve got two beautiful BMEGirls to close out the week.
First up is Shanna, who we first saw a couple of weeks ago. This time around she’s showing off her kitty, as well as giving us another great look at her tattoos and piercings.
Next up is a photo sent in by justaburde, crediting Kevin Kusulas as the artist for what I’m assuming is the shoulder tattoos.

Michael from Kipod Tattoo is back again, this time with an exquisite back piece. I want to say this is a bird of paradise based off the trailing green feathers, but the body isn’t positioned the way they normally are and there is no crest on the head. Although thinking of what kind of bird this is takes second place to just how incredible this looks.
I love how it isn’t intended to be centered in her back, giving the bird a better sense of motion. Michael’s also nailed the blending on the feathers without using any outline, a nice technique that gives the tattoo a sense of being painted on. You almost get a sense that at any moment the bird will come to life and fly off.
If you do get a chance, head on over to the Kipod portfolio gallery. Michael and the rest of the staff there are consistently putting out high quality work, and thankfully they’re willing to share with us.

They’re graceful and fluid, serene and tranquil, regal and orange. Orange?
Oh the mighty goldfish. The token first pet to many a young child. Once regarded as a symbol of majesty and prosperity, now regulated to the fishbowl, only to die a lonely death, and be unceremoniously disposed of down the toilet. But fret not, as there are many people out there that respect and cherish the goldfish, giving them ponds and aquariums to live out their days in. This tattoo by Kevin Gordon shows just how dedicated one can be to the incredible goldfish. You can be sure the owner of this tattoo wouldn’t dispose of their companion by a toilet.
What was the name of your first goldfish?
