Boy Meets Girl…Girl Meats Hooks

admin — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 05:52:20 +0000

I’m not really sure how I feel about this video. I’m more of a stick parts of my body into holes kind of guy rather than a stick holes into parts of my body…LOL! Anyway, Sar volunteered to help find some interesting videos for me. When she sent this one over, she said, this is “some nasty-ass extreme body mods…you have been warned!”

Collection of Recent Scarification Pictures

admin — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 01:33:46 +0000

I’m still amazed every time I see the extent of these pieces of human art. I think these are all pretty fresh. I would like to see what they look like over the years. I guess when tattoos and piercing became mainstream, people started looking for what’s next. I admire their comittment…but wholly shit!

Kat Von D Explaining Her Tattoos

admin — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 01:24:57 +0000

Here’s a pretty decent video of Kat Von D talking about her ink. I think it’s interesting that most of her tattoos don’t mean anything to her. The reindeer jumping over barbwire is a perfect example. She goes to a party with friends, lays out a bunch of tattoo pictures on the floor and then they flip quarters and whatever it lands on, you get that tattoo…wow! …and what’s up with getting your spouse’s portrait tattooed on your thigh so you can see it whenever you go pee?

Dumb Ass Knuckle Tattoo

admin — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 01:06:55 +0000

I’m actually kind of facinated by knuckle tattoos. With that said, I probably wouldn’t go this route. The most classic moment in the video is when a buddy tells him he should do back up vocals for gay porn. I also think it’s kind of funny that the tattoo artist is getting off on making the moan in pain. His knuckles look pretty jacked up.

Scarification~SIC and SICK all at the same time.

Wow, I’m not sure what to say. I think it’s pretty damn cool…but wholly shit that has to hurt. I would have like to seen it after it healed. The video starts out fairly easy to stomach, but then gets a little rough.

“Bravery” Tattoo…oh wait…

admin — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 05:00:16 +0000

All I can say is this kid definitely exhibited some bravery by going to a tattoo artists that can’t spell. I’m sure misspellings happen a lot, but getting the discovery of the misspelling on video tape is pretty priceless.

Lucky Number 13 Tattoo

admin — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 08:59:04 +0000

The number 13 is one of the most popular numbers tattooed on people. Here’s why:

It’s a symbol of luck, but also entails misfortune before a greater reward.

An occult symbol of resurrection and re-birth, i.e. christ, anti-christ, lucifer, the phoenix, One, return of the messiah, God’s incarnation in human form, the visiting of the alien-human hybrid that put life on Earth, Jesus

GOOD LUCK LIKE LUCKY 13

The 13th letter of the alphabet is M . In outlaw biker culture a tatt or patch of the #13 usually means drugs as in Meth or Pot. RUBs and the like often say it stands for Motorcycle.

A tattoist gets a number 13 tattooed on them once they’ve been in the business for 13years and its a great mark of respect when a tattoist has earnt the right to wear the number 13. Friday the 13th was origninally the day of good luck not bad luck.

Traditional tattoo symbols have kind of lost their meaning, and a certian symbol can mean almost anything. 13 can mean bad luck, it can be associated with the gang MS-13, or it could just be their lucky number.

Oliver Peck (Kat Von D’s Husband) attempts to break the record for the most tattoos done in a 24 hour period. On Friday the 13th, he did number 13 tattoos for $13 a piece.

WTF were they thinking Tattoos

admin — Fri, 11 May 2007 15:11:13 +0000

Don’t get me wrong, there are some very cool tattoos in this video. With that said, if you are looking for dragon, star, butterfly or flower tattoos, you won’t find them in this video. These tattoos range from stupid to very cool and unique. I looked at some and said, “That is some amazing ink.” and then looked at others and thought what the fcuk were they thinking. I actually had to watch this video twice…once looking at the tattoos and once focusing on the people and wondered what they were thinking.

Beautiful Tattoo Picture Montage

admin — Fri, 11 May 2007 04:24:26 +0000

This is definitely worth 3 minutes of your time. Its a tattoo picture montage set to “Beautiful” by James Blunt. There are some really awesome feet tattoos and an amazing full back dragon tattoo design. There’s also a lot of cool tattoo sleeves.

Tattoo Designs Montage

admin — Fri, 11 May 2007 04:01:31 +0000

This is a pretty well put together montage of tattoo designs and tattoo pictures. The music is repetitive, but it’s not too bad. It’s a lot of tattooed backs and sides with a couple navel piercings thrown in.
