Here is another cool piece by Lila Way of True Grit Tattoos in Burlington, ON. This may not be as much of a dumb idea as her boyfriends tattoo, but I really dig this Day of the Dead style Virgin Mary.

Just an outline, but still impressive.
Written by
I am not big on posting tattoos in progress, but this tattoo is just too bad ass not to post. Also, I am hoping if the wearer or the artist, Jesse Estrada, sees this posted, maybe they will submit some more pictures when it is finished.
You know what else is cool? That ear lobe tattoo. I am sure this guy wasn’t the first person to tattoo a stretched lobe like that, but he is the first I have seen and I love the way it looks!

Biomech is the new black
Written by
When I first started hearing the word “biomechanical” in reference to tattooing it almost always referred to H.R. Giger’s art, or work done in a similar fashion. As the years passed biomech started to become more organic and colorful thanks to the influence of tattooist like Guy Aitchison.
As much as I like the colorful stuff, I definitely have a sweet spot for the Giger-ish pieces and I was pretty blown away by this back piece by Adam Collins from Lal Hardy’s Tattoo in London.

Couples working together
Written by
Like Phil and his girlfriend Alie, they came to the agreement that if he ran every day she would draw every day. To see Alie’s commitment to drawing every day check out her blog, I Hate To Draw. To see Phil’s commitment to running, you will need to stalk the street’s of Toronto one morning and look for Phil yourself (feel free to snap pictures and email them to me).
Another, and equally effective, way for a couple to work together is with a ball gag. One person speaks, the other submits. Makes perfect sense to me.
This tattoo by Alie sums it up best with the Latin phrase in the banner that translates to “Silence Implies Consent”.
For a few other pictures of Alie’s work, as well as contact info for her keep on keeping on.
Alie can be found tattooing at TCB Tattoo in Toronto, call (416) 203-1615 to book an appointment.

..like a crappy tattoo of a tattoo machine.
So if you are or ever plan on being a tattooer and you also plan on getting a tattoo of a tattoo machine, make damn sure it is a good one like this one by Randy Polillo of Dynasty Tattoo in Newfield, NJ.
