That reminds me… didn’t someone build a portable tattoo machine around one of those R/C nitro engines? In any case, this tattoo was done by Kevin Mckeating at Precision Body Arts in Nashua, NH.

ModBlog culture influencing YouTube culture?
Written by
So ModBlog’s “Skullboy” as he’s come to be known out on the weeb, has tribute videos out about him on YouTube! I thought that was pretty cool, and just goes to show you how fascinated people are by what he’s done (note: the video’s best part is near the end, so don’t give up).
And a second video as well:

Child’s Play Red Cross Tattoo
Written by
Oh, I am so stoked to be posting this tattoo. It’s the Red Cross child’s play logo, and it’s on a medical professional, done by Dustin at The Enemy Tattoo in Everett, WA. The reason I’m so stoked is that there are a lot of medical professionals that “don’t get” body modification*, either technically or experiencially, so I’m thrilled when I see things like this because I know that it’s a small step toward myself, my friends, and others having better and better experiences when we have to see a doctor. And I love the image in general.
As a point of trivia, to the best of my knowledge this is based on an “illegal” design that the Red Cross threatened to sue a t-shirt manufacturer over! The Red Cross logo is very tightly controlled by international law, and I believe the only symbol to be enshrined specifically into law.
* I want to be clear though that I don’t consider these bad or uncaring doctors when mistakes are made; they’re just inexperienced in this small realm.

This gold anchor (I love the lack of black linework and the still high contrast and definition) was done by Jim Miner at the Long Beach Convention in June, 2005. I should mention that BMEshop has Jim Miner’s book.

Look to the bottom left

You know, the Shauncey Fury tattoo artist self-portrait was pretty cute, but I’m not so sure that this tattoo artist portrait from Darwin Enriquez at Mithos Tattoo in Caracas, Venzuela is quite as inviting… Seems kind of threatening 🙂
I’d get tattooed by Darwin — he does great work — but not by the dude in the tattoo!
