Palm Eye Tattoo
Written by
Burt at Bohemian Tattoos in Paarl, South Africa (just a bit inland from Capetown) tells me the girl who got this was a machine and had no problem sitting through it. I’ve got a pretty high pain threshhold, but I don’t like the idea of tattooing my palm or the bottoms of my feet one bit!!!

.BACK

I’m pretty sure I’ve featured more knockoffs of his work than originals done by him, so let me share this great dotwork backpiece (riding over top of a healed spiral branding) by Daniel DiMattia at Calypso Tattoo. His shop is in Belgium, but in December and early January he’ll be touring in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.

Bic on Bic
Written by
Haha — I didn’t know that Bic from Burning Monk (see also: oldschool surface piercing and matching finger piercings) had a sef-portrait tattooed on his belly until I saw this picture from Efix shot at the 2006 Montreal Art and Tattoo show. I think it takes a certain sense of humor to get yourself tattooed on yourself…

HEROES tattoo?
Written by
Not really, but the first thing I thought of when I saw it was Syler chopping people’s heads open and taking their brains… This permanent brain exposure was actually done by Justin B at Wizard’s World of Tattoos in Stowe, PA, who is presumeably not a telekenetic supervillian (but I am not sure so don’t quote me on that when he eats your brain).

Peony Flower with Tibetan Skull
Written by
Robbie tells me that his tattoo represents the statement that there is a counterpart to all things beautiful (tattooed by Kori at Jim’s Tattoo in Seabrook, NH).

Navel Rose
Written by
I’m not sure if I think this rose, tattooed with the navel as its centre, is really cool or really creepy… Done by Tamas Kusinka at Tattoo Zone in Pecs, Hungary.
