Wet and Squidgy in the Middle

By Jordan Ginsberg • Mar 24th, 2009 • Category: ModBlog


We showed off Babylovedoll yesterday in all her orange glory, and today it’s a pleasure to start the day with this piece, described only as “orange,” by Terry Ribera, who’s been splitting his time between Avalon Tattoo II in San Diego, California, and Daredevil Tattoo in New York City. It’s pretty easy for bio-mech stuff to end up looking samey, but Ribera’s work is so damn solid it’s pretty hard not to appreciate. What can I say? I’m a sucker for citrus-powered limbs.

    6655321 = Alex’s prison number in the novel (shorted to 655321 in the film).

    Oh my God. I cannot believe I didn’t catch the Clockwork Orange references. I am a failure.
