“Love,” says the wearer of this massive portrait, “gives you the courage to do things you normally wouldn’t do. My love for John Goodman is that deep.” Testify!

Hey, it’s actually been a little while since we’ve posted anything from the mad geniuses at Swastika Freakshop! The last we had Nadine on ModBlog, it was to show off her gorgeous done-by-Freakshop wings. This time around? Her stunning symmetrical sleeves, naturally done by Marc at the aforementioned Swastika Freakshop. This lady is sporting some of the nicest goddamn tattoos around.

Laugh it Up, Fuzzball

So, you want a tattoo celebrating one of your favorite movies, but one that alludes to other artists as well? What to do?
I really wanted a Star Wars tribute tattoo, and my artist really wanted to do one. I didn’t want anything overused or anything, like the insignia or a lightsaber, and I didn’t want a huge scene with ships and everything, so we decided to kind of create something. I liked the shape of the AT-AT walkers, but they were kind of beefy. I was thinking I wanted something more slender, like a Dali elephant, and here it is! I’m so happy with how it turned out, and I’m really glad to have something completely original on my body.

Sure, I like Lucas‘s beard, and you like it, but his goddaughter there? She seems like she’s had just about enough of it. I know the look of a person who’s ready to snap the shit out of something, and … well, I don’t think I have to tell you what she’s planning.

We Do Not Inherit the Earth

Kevin, a UK transplant living in the Netherlands, who has “always been fascinated by tattoos [with his] main interest in Northwest (Haida) tattoos,” sends in this portrait shot of himself by Sydney Korsse. This sort of scattershot approach to tattoos doesn’t always work well, but the fact that he’s stuck with such a unified theme actually makes for a nice effect, I think. For more on Kevin and his Haida tattoos, visit his fairly thorough web site: HaidaTattoos.com. Until tomorrow, ModBloggers.
