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.

  • North-Going and South-Going

    I think this is one of my favorite “buddy tattoos” that I’ve seen, based on Dr. Seuss’s The Zax. It’s on Sophisticunt and a friend and was done by Jason at Baltimore Street Tattoo in Hanover, PA.

  • Max and Ruby

    Alan‘s little hedgehog, Max, posing in front of a memorial tattoo for his predcessor Ruby… Oh no… Oh no… Now I can’t get the theme song to Max and Ruby out of my head… damn you Alan!

  • My Love…

    With sincere apologies to the wearer, I really hate saying anything negative about someone’s body modification, but you know, when it comes to tattoo quality, I would never tackle a portrait until I was very confident as a tattoo artist, because the implications of getting it even a little off are so unpleasant. It’s really important to understand I think that doing a portrait is a very different set of skills, and someone can be a quite solid artist on other levels but have difficulty with them… It’s very, very important when you’re looking at someone’s portfolio that you see pieces in the style of what you want.

  • Jacki Randall Interview Posted

    I thought that given some of the recent debate about mainstreaming and so on that this might be a good opportunity to post an interview with queer/leather/biker outlaw tattoo artist Jacki Randall. Click through for the interview, come on back to comment.

  • White Etching

    You may have seen this shot on the cover, but I liked this work (from Dayaks in Mexico City) so much that I wanted to feature it here as well — the blackwork with what I assume is whitework on top just looks amazing (although I may be mistaken and it could be cutting over blackwork).
