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.

    My friend Hannah sent me this NSFW picture of her newest tattoos, for the unedited picture, you know the deal…..

  • Home is where the art is

    Few things are as visually distinctive as a skyline.  To many, they’re a portrait of home, or at least their home city.  Sure there may be recognizable buildings that people will automatically identify with a city, but a skyline on its own gives the viewer the full picture.  Think of the NYC skyline.  It’s probably the most famous one in the world, simply because of how often it is used to reveal New York as the setting for a film.  Any movie filmed before 2001 had a distinctly different NY skyline than the one we see now, and people notice this because of how recognizable they are.  It’s like seeing the photo of a person you’ve known all your life only with a single feature drastically changed.

    As you can see below, BadBadDreams has a strong connection to the city of Taipei, Taiwan.  Ainslie Heilich from Vintage Karma in Stroudsburg, PA was the artist responsible for creating this reproduction of the Taipei skyline on their arm.

    Does the city you live in have a distinctive skyline?  I know that Toronto’s skyline is pretty recognizable, even though in the past 5 years it has changed dramatically with the building of a lot of high-rise condos right in front of Canada’s wang (the CN Tower).

  • Puppy Love

    Last week we got a chance to see the beautiful Karina in the middle of a suspension.  This week things are a little bit mellow as she’s lounging around at home.  She also happens to have one of the most adorable pugs I’ve seen in a while.

    I’m pretty sure anyone would be that happy laying next to her.

    What’s that you say?  You want to see another picture of her?  Keep reading to see exactly why the puppy is smiling.

    Oh Brazil, why is your gene pool so incredible?

  • Nouveau Follow-up

    A few months back we took a look at one of Fabrizio Divari’s works in progress.  At the time the piece was beautiful as it was, but it seems that it was still just a work in progress.  This adaptation of one of C.R. Mackintosh’s works is simply breathtaking in it’s brilliance.  Fabrizio has really outdone himself on this one.

  • The mods on the man behind those other mods we featured

    You can hardly go a week without seeing the name Efix pop up here. What can I say, the man does beautiful work and he takes the time to submit the images to BME. Yet this post isn’t about the beautiful work he does, it’s about the beautiful work he wears.

    When I saw this tattoo as an avatar on the main page of IAM, I clicked it without even noticing the name. I just wanted to see this bright beautiful tattoo in a bigger picture. Then I noticed who it was on, shot him a message and asked his permission to use it. He gladly obliged and let me know his entire torso, throat and arms were  done by Jay Marceau of Quebec City Canada.
