It’s been a while since we’ve featured a piece from Swastika Freakshop here on the ol’ ModBlog (no, really, it has!), so here we have yet another epic backpiece by Marc, this one coming in under the title “Boom Shiva.” As always, holy hell is there a lot to like about Marc’s work, and this is no exception.

Well hey, it’s Matthew and some friends, getting ready to do some painting, I see? Well, if you guys need any help, you just let me kn-

Continuing today’s love affair with Russia, here we have a heart-shaped implant by Moscow’s Sergey Tyler (of Tattoo Factory) in the hand of, hmm, a corpse? Wait, no, that’s not dirt—it’s just harmless blood. Ha, well, don’t I feel sheepish. Really though, great picture; first person to claim it was Photoshopped gets a stern lecture from The Iron Sheik. Don’t think he won’t do it.

Admittedly, I’m woefully out of touch with cyberpunk anything, so pardon me if I’m missing a reference here and just projecting my own experiences, but is this not a dead ringer for Samppa? I mean, it is Samppa, isn’t it? The photo comes to us from Goldust and was taken at the Moscow Tattoo and Bodyart Festival this year, so hopefully we’ll get some much-needed clarification here. Whether it’s him or some other grilled-up cyborg, though, it’s damn fine work.
And, after the jump, and not-so-ambiguous tribute to another artist who is no stranger to seeing his likeness engraved in others.
This cutting of Emilio is by Martin Page, who was also responsible for the implants in this 3D portrait of Emilio from a little while back. (No relation, of course, to this glorious monument.)

Not much to add to this handsome close-up photo featuring piercings by Ryan Ouellette at Precision Body Arts in Nashua, New Hampshire.
Actually, here’s something to add…
…another lovely close-up piercing shot! This one-day-old horizontal eyebrow piercing comes to us from Verona, Italy. You know, I love the more “extreme” submissions we get, but there’s still something very satisfying about relatively simple, well-executed, well-photographed piercings.
