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.

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.)

I’ve never served in the Navy but I like to think I know a thing or two about seamen, and I just don’t think this pinup by Sean Polland (at Creative Visions in Monterey, California) is wearing her uniform correctly. As a matter of fact, I can’t think of a single ship on which this would be acceptable attire. I’m just saying…maybe a little more attention to detail would benefit everyone in the future?
