Fans of Gernot will recognize the artwork in this sleeve right away. Heck, anyone who’s been to a fetish ball will probably recognize the style. One fan in particular, IAM:Sleazy, likes Gernot’s art so much, he had Toni Moore from Broad Street Tattoo in Bath, UK create this collage.

From the talented hands of Jackie Rabbit comes this piece called “Strange Birds”. It’s got a fallen angel vibe to it, especially with the mask looking so much like a plague doctor’s mask. And you can never go wrong with a plague doctor.
Update: This piece by Jackie is based off a piece of work by Samantha Mash entitled “Fix Me or Conflict Me”. You can check out the original here.
Jackie works at Star City Tattoo in Roanoke, VA
