Nothing like having your browser crash and losing all the posts you’ve been working on despite having saved them already. I don’t know what kind of sexually suggestive comments I inappropriately made previously about dandy ruby leigh but I’m sure they were positive. Her tattoos are by Jay philbrick in Lawrence, Mass. I pretty much hate the internet today and I’m going to be smashing bits and pieces of it for the next couple of hours.

Efix can always be counted on for sending in great photos of his work. This one is no exception. If you’ve got the time, I highly suggest going through his portfolio which is linked below. If you’re looking for Efix, he can be found at D-Markation in Quebec City, Quebec.
I was adding the category tags for all of the mods on his face and somehow managed to break the tag function. Perhaps I added too many tags?

allesistscheisse is going to help me out with today’s public service announcement. One of the great things about tattoos is that most people can’t tell good tattoo work from bad tattoo work. It’s a pro but also a con. The primary thing is that it makes the wearer of the tattoo happy. When I posted Norm’s vimby video, a comment was made that you could get good script from any reasonably good tattoo shop, which I wholeheartedly disagree with. I know some amazing tattooers who just can’t do good lettering. One of the quotes that I’ve heard is that “good tattoos are ruined by bad lettering”, like if you see an amazingly well done sacred heart with a really cruddy “Mom” in the banner. It just kills the tattoo.
As long as Kevin is happy, that’s what matters in the long run.

So what is the lesson that we’ve learned today? Friends don’t let friends give each other home made tattoos. Unless of course your friend happens to be a kick ass tattooer.

I didn’t see this photo when I posted the one of Anna earlier. I also forgot to credit the photographer responsible for these great photos. If you want to see more work from Benoit Meeus, check out the website. Not only is the lovely Anna in this photo as well but also the lovely Floor and Lou.
