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.

  • She’s So Vein!

    Last Wednesday Nae (featured previously) went under the scalpel and had two implants (cherry blossom and plum blossom) inserted by Mister Potty Mouth in New York! Some procedural shots after the break..

  • BME Podcast #1: Allen Falkner Talks Suspension


    Holy crap, it worked! Welcome, friends, to the inaugural BME Podcast. Isn’t this exciting? We figured it was time to revive the old BME Radio format and spruce it up a bit with all sorts of Web 2.0 nonsense, and so here we are. As I mention on the show, this is very much still in the experimental stages, so any and all feedback is very much appreciated, both in terms of the sound quality and technical aspects, as well as guests you’d like to hear and topics and issues you’d like to be discussed. If things go well, you could be hearing a whole lot more of my deep and manly timbre.

    On today’s podcast, our guest is Allen Falkner, who joins us to discuss the upcoming SusCon he’s organizing, Nevada’s current attempt to ban suspension, the six-hour suspension Chris Glunt just performed, and more. (Also, visit him at Fade Fast for all your tattoo removal needs!)

  • Tattooing Over Scars


    I’m working on a new feature that should (hopefully!) be ready by the morning, but before then, I wanted to share these shots of some hand-poked tattoo work over scar tissue that Ferank Manseed of Mudra Tattoo did while on the road. Some more procedural shots after the jump.

  • Pepperoni, Hold the Fnords


    I can’t help it. I love food tattoos. I really do. And the fact that this is my weakness notwithstanding, it’s still heartening to see people think outside the box and come up with pieces like this that combine two of my greatest passions: pizza and conspiracy theories. And to top it all off?

    “Did I get free pizza?” the wearer asks. “Yes. Yes I did.”

    Excellent. BUT … did you gravy up that pizza? No? Well, I think you know what you have to do.

  • Body Count


    “Yeah,” says Seth, “I’m that guy.” When reached for comment, Ice-T stared at the floor silently for over a minute before standing, walking slowly over to the nearest wall and delivering a devastating left cross right through the plaster.
