As much as I like pumpkin carving, normally I think Chris’s Halloween-themed chestpiece wouldn’t jump out at me as a piece to feature, but when I saw how the UV ink in it has been applied, I changed my mind! I love it how the UV is a way to augment the tattoo with something new, a hidden element that can only be appreciated in the right environment. It was done by Alex Miller at Local Color in West Chester, PA.

I like kissitgoodbye‘s heart shaped implant, done by Howie while at Metalurgy in Dundee, Scotland — I think if it was me I’d be in line to get a second matching one on the other side. After the break is a second photo of it under different lighting, and from the front, which is interesting because it gives you a better idea of the 3d aspect. You can also see her new white gold tooth in that shot, done by a dentist in Pretoria, South Africa.

The scars, which did some damage to an older tattoo, are care of the bike in the tattoo below with the ominous quote. The interesting question is, did OnlyOneRiri get the tattoo prior to the scars? I don’t think so, but I can just imagine lying there after the terrible crash thinking, “wow, the coroner is going to get a sad laugh out of my tattoo, aren’t they?” Tattoo by Flash at Comes A Time Tattoo in Fairfax, VA.
