Well when you’re friends with the Sinner Team, and your birthday rolls around, you know you’re going to be in for something special.

That young man up there is Serge, and he just turned 28.  So, in honor of his birthday he got to have a superman suspension, Sinner Team style.

Keep reading to see what happened next.

When Toronto artist Fabrizio Divari creates an original piece, you know it’s going to be something incredible.  Taking a quick look back you can check out an interview with him, and see examples of his paintings as well as some of his older tattoos.

Now this piece is a cubist take on a calla lily, which are those big flowers that bloom in the shape of a jug.

You can check out more of Fabrizio’s work in his BME portfolio gallery.

Or at least really hot BMEGirls that share the name of an X-man.  We’ve seen Psylocke a couple of times before, and every time she manages to look completely different, yet remain stunning, all at the same time.

These are only a couple of the recent photos she sent in.  You can check out the rest in the miscellaneous tattoo gallery.

…for a lifetime of enjoyment.

That’s exactly what JakeMindsnared went through over the weekend at the Surf N Ink International Tattoo Convention down on the Gold Coast in Australia.

Anders started working on the scar at the convention center, but when it was time for the show to end, he still wasn’t finished.  So they packed up, walked down the street and finished up at Anders’ shop.  According to Jake, the processes was grueling as the noise of the convention and the change of locale made it nearly impossible for him to concentrate, leaving him unable to focus on anything other than the pain.

Head over to Anders’ BME portfolio gallery to check out all the the incredible procedural shots.  From the laying of the stencil to the final cuts, it’s all there.

Just because the lion sleeps at night, doesn’t mean it’s asleep all the time.

It’s almost impossible for some people to see a photo of a mouth and not immediately think of Rocky Horror.  Now when Rocky Horror came out 35 years ago, it wasn’t an instant success.  You have to think, would audiences have flocked to see it right away if Patricia Quinn had a split tongue?

And for those with the need to purge the Glee version from their heads..

Check out Vipera’s tits!

Pete Voutilainen from One Eye Tattoo in Helsinki, Finland tattooed these blue tits on her calves.

To give you a better idea of what they look like, here’s a close up of one of her tits.  You can see the other one in the wildlife and nature tattoo gallery.

It reminds me of those old wildlife sketches, just a simple pencil sketch with some watercolors painted over top.

Now that I’ve posted some tits, maybe someone will send in a picture of their boobies.

Science has proven it time and time again that when it gets hot outside, BMEGirls will shed their clothing and take pictures.  Now for Iowa native TooGhoulForSchool, summer gives her a chance to stretch out on a hammock and soak up the sun.

Hmm.  Looks like the picture didn’t load fully.  Let me try again after the clickthrough.

I know you were told there would be no math, but sometimes the rules need to be broken.  To start, we turn to wikipedia for a quick definition of a tesseract.

In geometry, the tesseract, also called an 8-cell or regular octachoron or cubic prism, is the four-dimensional analog of the cube. The tesseract is to the cube as the cube is to the square. Just as the surface of the cube consists of 6 square faces, the hypersurface of the tesseract consists of 8 cubical cells. The tesseract is one of the six convex regular 4-polytopes.

A generalization of the cube to dimensions greater than three is called a “hypercube”, “n-cube” or “measure polytope”. The tesseract is the four-dimensional hypercube, or 4-cube.

So, now that you know a tesseract is a geometry term, and not a way to travel through space and time, you can appreciate the time and effort -light- put in to this flesh stapling play.

Now normally flesh staples are a type of piercing, but seeing as how this play piercing was done with a stapler and ribbon, I’ll let it slide.

While I was only 4 when Poltergeist came out, I do remember seeing it on video when I was young, and I remember being terrified of trees and clowns for a long time afterwards.  To this day it still holds up as one of the best horror films of all time.  The iconic image of Carol-Anne holding her hands up to the screen has become cemented in the cultural zeitgeist.  Which is why this simple monochromatic calf tattoo is so familiar.

Thanks to jshtate for sending this in to the tattoo galleries.
