Oftentimes the scars that are noticed the most are the large ones. Size of course is one factor, as is the level of detail allowed in a large scar. Yet sometimes a small scar can be just as noticeable, especially when you have an artist like Brian.
According to Brian this was an extremely delicate piece to cut out. I’m not 100% sure of the positioning, but if he says it’s delicate it’s safe to assume it’s a small scar.

Somebody’s gotta go back and get a s#!t load of dimes!
Thanks to Twigboy, the number of Blazing Saddles tattoos in the world has gone up by one. Today is a good day to work up a number six.

Every time we see photos from The Sinner Team, there’s always a smiling dread-locked man somewhere in the background. Well that man is Stanislav, the leader of the team, and guinea pig for some of their riskiest suspensions (like the free-fall suspension we saw a few months ago).
Today he’s somewhere in Russia, deep underground, setting up the rigging for what could possibly be a sensory deprivation suspension. Hopefully we’ll see some photos of the suspension itself, but for now, here’s the handsome devil himself, in all his night-vision glory.
On a somewhat related note, Allen over at Suspension.org recently updated the suspension crew listings trimming out any broken links. So if you’re looking for a crew in your area, be sure to check it out.
Now if you’re looking for a tattoo or piercing studio, BME411 is your one stop resource for finding the studios in your area.

If this hadn’t have been submitted to the galleries and I had seen it somewhere else I would have sworn it was a sticker or some kind of transfer. It’s probably just James Pruitt‘s choice of a white outline that makes it pop as well as it does. In any case, James definitely made some TMNT fan very happy.

yfirgefavona’s chest tattoo reads “Love yourself, open your mind”. It’s a great example of how a lettering tattoo can be transformed into an abstract art piece.
I’m not sure if the cherry blossoms are a part of the piece or if they’re intended to be covered up. In any case, Freak Mike from Swastika Freakshop in Germany did a great job and the owner says that the tattoo “has made me love myself more than I ever have”. It’s that sentiment alone that makes this piece exceptional. Too often are we caught up with how a piece of art can affect us, we can easily forget how important it is to the person who has it for life.
