The Reeds By The River

By Jordan Ginsberg • Jul 15th, 2009 • Category: ModBlog


We’ve been really privileged to be able to feature so many great bodysuits (or otherwise large-scale tattoo projects) lately, and, while we sadly don’t have the full-body shots to go along here, this is some truly excellent work—especially for the top of the head! On the downside, he will surely never find a job. More shots of our silver fox here and his noggin adornments, after the jump.

(Tattoos by George Bone in Hanwell, London, England.)

BME Shop is holding a 20-percent-off sale on most items this week until midnight on Thursday, July 16! Click here for details.

    He’ll regret that by the time he’s 21.

    do the face!

    I don’t think he should do the face. Not as a “i don’t like facial tattoos” stance, because I do, but it lends to a pretty cool effect to have the dragon’s coils sit at the top and almost “reveal” his face. I like it as it. Very cool stuff and really awesome work.

    does this gentleman live in Frimley, Surrey?

    His head is beautiful. He should get some sideburns I can envision the pain he has gone thru to get his head tattooed. Best wishes, InkManLarry

    I am the person featured here!
    Thank you all for the positive comments - appreciated!
    To Frimley: - Yes, I do live live here - please say ‘hi’ next time you see me.
    To Larry: - (H! - long time no ’speak’) I am considering sideburns - should have included in the original design. However, do not want to make a mess of the overall tattoo - any ideas appreciated.

    Finally, I do have a job (which may surprise some!) … I have to pay for this ink!! Fortunately, my employer appears to value the work that I output, rather than judge me simply on my appearance.

    Now this is a fucking body suit! So many bright colors and designs and yet they come together nicely.

    To the wearer of the art - get in touch with me if you would be interested in doing an interview.

    I am certain I have seen him in Miami in April!
