Babakhin Dmitry from Babakhin Tatau does it again with yet another tribal blackwork piece. This one looks like he incorporated some almost Egyptian motifs.
Oh and the guy doesn’t look half bad either.

I’ve been hearing this phrase more and more lately when it comes to same-sex marriage and it really does apply. When you think back to those who were opposed to freeing the slaves, or those who wanted to keep racial segregation, they ended up being on the wrong side of history. They were fighting against a movement to treat everyone equally, and as time went on more and more people realized that this wasn’t a fight that they could win, nor was it a fight that should be fought. Hopefully within the next few years the same will apply when it comes to same-sex marriage around the world, much as it already has in Canada and Europe. So what does this all have to do with ModBlog? Check out this tattoo by Jackie Rabbit. The reason should be pretty clear.

_xiphiaz loves technology. So much so that his very first tattoo ended up being one of the most impressive nerdy tattoos I’ve ever seen.
Corey Weir from Monk3ys in Auckland, NZ is the artist behind this technological construct. Please note, I purposefully avoided a Superman 3 reference, as it would have taken away from the sheer awesomeness of this sleeve.

Good morning ModBlog readers, it’s Monday again, and it’s a sunny April morning. Or at least it could be depending on where you are when you’re reading this. Anyway, the appropriately named April_Love from Malu Tattoo in California sent in quite a few photos over the weekend of her tribal work, as well as a few non-tribal pieces. So to start the week off here’s a backpiece by April.
I’m going to guess the lettering says something in Latin, but we all know I’ve been wrong before, so feel free to correct me.

Nic Smith from Songbird Tattoo in Devon, UK has sent in some interesting additions to the tribal and blackwork gallery. The majority of the designs are crafted out of complex freehand dot and linework, including this South American inspired piece.

For some reason, when I first saw these photos, the camp song “Black Socks” got stuck in my head.
These were sent in by Marcd to the tribal and blackwork gallery, although I don’t know if he’s the artist or the owner of the legs.

With another piece out of Scarab Body Arts in Syracuse, NY, Nik Moore sent in this incredible blackwork shoulder. At first glance it may seem to be a straight black and white piece, but if you look close you can see how he worked greyscale into some of the designs in order to create some depth.
You can check out more works by Nik in his BME portfolio gallery.

The answer: Vanity_Martyr. Zele from Zagreb Tattoo in Zagreb, Croatia is the artist behind her massive tribal piece. If you look close enough you can also see a couple of piercings, as well as an implant in the back of her hand.
