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.

  • Sleeved

    Tattoos by Scott Oldenburger at Adams Body Art in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada. I’m cool with the tattoo, but sorry, I’m not quite so sold on the zebra-print wallpaper! Is that bad to say?

  • Dragon Tattoo

    I recently met a really cool tattooed French Canadian powerlifter and talked to him for a while about body modification… He’d mentioned that one of the goals with tattooing for him was not just seeking out a good tattoo, but more of a quest for the “vibe” that the combination of tattoos would put off — so it’s not so much that the tattoo has to be aesthetically perfect; it just has to move you toward your overall body goal of “looking tough” (or whatever). Now, normally I’d laugh off something like that as fakery and poserism, but trust me — this guy’s a professional powerlifter and definitely has the underlying strength to back up the claims.

    Anyway… Got a bit distracted there with that story, but this dragon tattoo by Yayo at Blue Demon Ink in Huntington Park, California reminded me to tell it. And I thought that readers would like the photo too because it’s a nice candid portrait shot.

  • Carved Moko

    Evildustin‘s face brand by Johnkid at The Piercing Lounge in Madison, WI looks like it’s healing nicely so far… If I remember right, in Maori culture there were two ways of doing a facial tattoo. One was similar to normal tattooing, and the other is more like a combination of wood carving and ink rubbing, and left a three dimensional “tattoo”, rather than just the image. This hyfrecator branding reminded me of that…

    Oh, and for the record, I have never heard Dustin call this a moko or make similar references, so please don’t post a message claiming he’s being disrespectful or committing some other cultural appropriation sin. That said (and I mention this because I saw a Maori reader on Tanya’s body modification blog), maybe someone can post with more information.

  • Is this a joke?

    I can’t tell if PereiraPiercer is messing with me in this group photo from the Sao Paulo Tattoo Festival (Brasil)… that dude on the far right has got the craziest unibrow I’ve ever seen!

  • Time Bomb Tattoo

    He’s literally a time bomb. You know, it’s probably lucky he’s from not-so-friendly-to-America Venezuala (this was done at Emilio‘s Mithos Tattoo in Caracas by [I think] Darwin Enriquez)… I just don’t think getting a faux suicide bomber look would go over well at LAX airport.

  • Male Models

    Sorry — you know Mondays are a slow day for me… So I’ve just posted a few entries, and it’s better than nothing, right? Let me introduce you to Caracas, Venezuela’s Franklin Segovia (I think… unless I’ve read the email wrong and then that’s the tattoo artist). Click again for a face closeup.

  • And one for the ladies…

    This time I checked so there will be no disappointments — he is straight. Ladies, meet Illi from Varberg, Sweden. Just don’t look at his childhood too closely.
