This gorgeous star-based tattoo is the work of Andro Casalegno, the back belongs to Frances McGann. Too early in the day for such bright colours? There’s a less taxing photo after the break..

I’m excited to be hitting the 11th Annual NYC Tattoo Convention this weekend in NYC. I know I’ll see tons of “awesome” tattoos, but I can’t wait to see some of my favorite artists like Dan DiMattia and Chris O’Donnell (who I have had a crush on for years! Shhh don’t tell!). Catching...

Enjoy this video profile of the Chinese tattoo artist Zhuo Dan Ting. Current skirts around the border of the tattoo scene in Shanghai, but more importantly shines a spotlight on a thriving and interesting influence. "Whatever level you are,...

Well, that’s all for today. You may see more from other writers in the next little while (and of course videos from Roo as always), and if I’m needed over the next few weeks you may see a few more entries from me as well. I really do hope this transition can go smoothly. BME [...]

On some levels, nicer than a traditional portrait, and at least from my point of view, about a gazillion times better than a cross with initials and some dates on it! This bingo-playing memorial was done by Dave at Marked for Life in Warren, Michigan. No, this does not count as a Biohazard post, haters.

Cute and simple, Rachel’s hearts were done by John Deweese at Great American Tattoo Company in Shelbyville, Indiana. I get a kick out of all these tattoos that are inherently linked to youth culture — in the previous generation of tattooed seniors, most people had military tattoos and sailor stuff and the general...

Since people seem to like the large-scale text tattoos (like the recent Kerouac tattoo, a typo-ridden ‘If’, a Bukowski poem, A Tale of Two Cities, and this big script piece), here’s another… This poem that Avonchorda wears was written by herself and tattooed by Alex at Las Calaveras Body Modification...

Secret South got the “32″ on his thirty-second birthday, followed by another friend who got his on his 36th birthday, and then another during her 33rd year. Finally, his lover got hers this past Sunday for Mother’s Day during her 34th year. I can make some guesses about their personalities from their individ...

I liked this CT scan from Jason Hinchee, who’s got a stretched 5/8″ septum tunnel in place. The CT scan was done for some upcoming surgery on his ear, so he was able to keep the septum in place… More images of others after the break. Above is a moth xray which shows Rubber_Duckie’s tongue web [...]
