I love this photo especially how she’s managed to co-ordinate her outfit, jewelry, hair color, and modifications. What a great way to round out a Monday.

It’s been too long since we’ve had a gratuitous BMEBoy post, so here’s Joao Caldara and his cat Gaia relaxing in Rio de Janeiro.

Written by
I just received the following press release and I’m passing it along to you fair readers. Should you be in New York City, you may want to check this out. Please feel free to write in with any photos and your impressions of the event if you do check it out.
Ina Saltz on Tattoos, Flash Art, Intellectual Property Rights, and Insights Into the Art of Tattoos
Join author and photographer INA SALTZ for a behind-the-scenes look into the ever-expanding world of typographic or intellectual tattoos (including a sneak peek at images Ina is collecting for BODY TYPE 3!). Amazing photographs of those who have chosen to represent their deepest feelings with the indelible permanence of ink embedded under their skin will be shown, and the powerful stories behind the tattoos will be told. Ina has been documenting typographic tattoos since 2003, when she first spotted a tattoo of the word happy in lowercase, 120-point Helvetica on a graphic designer while traveling on a cross-town bus in New York City.

Unexpected surprises
Written by
Over the past year we’ve seen quite a few photos from Joey Pang and the rest of the artists from Tattoo Temple in Hong Kong. For the most part their art is either bold Chinese calligraphy, or something traditional. Which is why this photo caught me off guard. I’ve seen some of Joey’s abstract work before, but most of the time it was accompanying some other piece. I think this is the first one I’ve seen that sits apart from other pieces and it is beautiful.
