That pun was painful to type out, so I can only imagine the groans and eyerolls I’m getting right now. Puns aside, this is a nice little helix heart put in by Zee from Cape Fear Piercing, Greenville, NC.

A splash of ink

Oh sure, she’ll lure you in with her “come hither” eyes and cute little bow, but make her angry and you’re getting a blast of green ink to the back of your knee; which just happens to be where this cute little octopus is located.

Brand Branding
Written by
I love how words can evolve over time. Nowadays when you talk to someone on the street, if you mention the word “brand” they’ll probably think you’re talking about a logo or a line of clothing. To others they’ll think of cattle. Of course, when it comes down to it the “modern” use of branding isn’t much different than the other usage. It’s all about using a mark to distinguish something from everything else. BME uses our logos as part of our brand identity, so when someone gets a tattoo or a scar of a logo, it means that we as a brand have affected them in some meaningful way. Here’s an example of one by Mike Grant.

Reborn in flame
Written by
The phoenix story is one of rebirth, and it’s because of this that ZSSailer chose the phoenix for this tattoo.
I’m proud of the story behind this tattoo. I used to weigh 312 pounds, but at 23 was diagnosed with several bad health problems (go figure), and decided to make a change. Today, at 24, I’m a healthy 205 pounds, and putting on more pounds in solid muscle….I’ve traded the acts of overeating for those of bodybuilding, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. To commemorate my accomplishments, I wanted a phoenix on my chest to acknowledge my rebirth. The feathers falling off symbolize my weight loss, the rays of light above symbolize how my soul feels like it’s shining in my new body, and the scale in the ashes symbolizes that I no longer fear stepping on a scale.
