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.

  • Koi Fish Chest Panel Tattoo

    Gui’s tattoo by Miguel at Tatuaria Brasil in Bauru/SP, Brasil.

  • Tattoos for Sociopaths?

    I guess you can get away with having female genitals explicitly tattooed on your neck in The Netherlands, but in less permissive nations (say, when travelling pretty much anywhere else in the world), I’m not sure this tattoo is a good decision — you could literally be arrested for just walking down the street. This black and grey pink’n’stink was done by Eddie Schwartz at Splitnipple Tattoo in the Hague.

  • “Steve’s Real Face Emerges”

    Steve had his old face replaced by husband and wife team Colette and Rob Thompson — each did one side — at Holy Mother in Atlanta, Georgia.

  • Bosnian Personal Trainer?

    I’m assuming that this is on a personal trainer or weight training instructor (yeah, feel the force of my brilliant deductery) — it was done by Luka who tattoos in Banja, Bosnia which is not a place I regularly receive tattoos from.

  • “My penis and a snail”

    By “my” I mean the caption the photo came with, not that it’s me literally (not that I don’t also have tattooed undies). These are my friend Werner’s tattooed and pierced genitals and pubic region, and of course his lil’ snail buddy.

  • Shawn says this would solve my problems

    Photo taken at Stockholm Pride 2006 — tattoos by Tomas at Swahili Bob’s in Stockholm, Sweden.

  • 33 weeks, 4 days

    You know, when I first started getting pierced and tattooed, it was very uncommon to meet parents and soon-to-be parents that were modified… These days though, as this community ages and grows, it seems more and more normal, to the point where it no longer seems even the slightest bit odd to see a heavily tattooed or otherwise augmented parent — in this case, Lonchura. I wonder how we’ll respond to our kids that rebel against us by trying to act ultra-normal?

    PS. It’s her birthday on Sunday too if you want an excuse to say hello.

  • Great Chestpiece

    You can’t go wrong with skulls and wings (at least not if you’re Roman, German, or American — or want to be)… Definitely a chestpiece style that almost always turns out for the best — this example c/o sacredheart is by Pat Carmack in Austin, Texas.

  • Choose your racial flavor

    Would you like Brown Sugar (by USA Tattoo in Petersburg, VA) or a helping of White Devil (by Patrick Benner at Hallow’s Eve in Palmyra, PA)? My advice? Both are fun.

  • Gregor’s Assistant

    I love this shot of Gregor Schwarzbach at Newjack Tattoo (Duisburg, Germany) working on 11‘s leg, with a little help from his young apprentice!
