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.

  • Brother’s Keeper Tattoo

    Genesis 4:9-12 “And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?”

    “And he said, What hast thou done? The voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground. And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand; When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.”

  • Gadsen Flag Tattoo

    Since I’m currently in America, I thought I’d share Scott’s Liberty or Death tattoo, by Big James at Artistic Armor (love the name of the studio by the way) in Tampa, Florida. Scott writes,

    The rattlesnake is taken from a Revolutionary War era "Gadsden Flag". It represents colonists standing up to England — "She never begins an attack, nor, when once engaged, ever surrenders: She is therefore an emblem of magnanimity and true courage. She never wounds 'till she has generously given notice, even to her enemy."

    Anyway, I’ll try and post more when I get back on Tuesday, but officially I’m starting up again on Wednesday and will also start working on an entirely new format for ModBlog shortly to make it more searchable and so on.

  • “Libertad Presos Politicos”

    Civil rights tattoo by Markhos at Aprendiz, Autodidacta.

  • The Clash Tattoo

    This tattoo is actually based on The Clash’s “Know your Rights” and was done by Dana at She-Devils in Shreveport, Louisiana. I can’t imagine though how much this is misinterpreted as a gun rights tattoo.

    [Right] Number 1
    You have the right not to be killed
    Murder is a CRIME!
    Unless it was done by a
    Policeman or aristocrat
    Know your rights

    And Number 2
    You have the right to food money
    Providing of course you
    Don’t mind a little
    Investigation, humiliation
    And if you cross your fingers
    Rehabilitation

    Number 3
    You have the right to free
    Speech as long as you’re not
    Dumb enough to actually try it.
