I thought this piece by Ian Comete at Impressionz Tattoo in Ottawa was nice.

Traditional North African Tattoos?
Written by
Check out this neat photo from Christine at Utility Company in Halifax, Nova Scotia (Canada). I don’t know the story behind the photo, but I really love the mix of traditional tattoos, traditional piercings, and modern piercings on top of that.

That’s no moon. It’s a space station.

Since before the Beatles declared themselves bigger than Jesus, pop culture had already won the recognition battle over religion. So it’s no surprise that every time I see a tattoo of the famous stigmatic Padre Pio all I can think of is Obi Wan Kenobi circa
1977a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. This example is by Jonattan “Pipeño” Torres at Extima in Copiapó, Chile.

Dude, your ass is the bomb!
Tattoos above by Adam at Factory Ink in Kutztown, PA. This next one (which I think my three year old would really like, seeing as she’s currently asleep with a few Care Bears) is by Josh at Skin Lab in Tempe, AZ (c/o Plaid, who is pictured with his evil sidekick Candy).

First Thailand Tattoo Convention, Bangkok
Written by
Thanks to my friend B-Boy (who has sent many wonderful things over the years) for sending in these pictures from Thailand’s first (annual?) tattoo convention (see also: Sao Paulo tattoo convention photos). On the whole tattooing is remarkable similar all around the world, but still I always like seeing the subtle differences in style and interpretation in different cultures.
These and more (BME has multiple members in Thailand that were photographing that convention) will be in the next update of BME, which is currently sitting at a massive 5,000+ images. However, as I’m sure you’ve noticed, this server is having mega problems right now. A replacement is set to arrive next week, but I’m afraid something is going to crash before then so we’re working to get stuff moved. I’m very sorry to the people who are patiently waiting for updates, memberships, and so on… We are working on it.
PS. If BME goes offline for any extended periods, you can checking zentastic.com (or IAM) for more information. That’s on a different server and I’ll use it to post if I need to.
