With this client being deaf, Nick Bertioli had to rely on sign language and lip reading in order to communicate. While the language barrier may have been a problem, it isn’t evident on this tattoo.

I did some digging and from what I can tell, we haven’t featured scalpelled nipples on ModBlog since 2008. According to Gábor (IAM: Wyrd) the nipples were scalpelled to 6mm. On top of the nipples, Gábor also did the tattoo on the back of the client’s hand.

Last month’s BMXNet conference has come and gone and we’re starting to get photos sent in from the attendees. If you don’t recognize the fellow below, it’s because you normally see his work and not his face here on ModBlog. That’s Gabor Zagyvai (IAM: Wyrd) right after getting a facial scarring by none other than Ron Garza.
I didn’t want to get into anything to crazy or outlandish after posting about Spliff, so I opted for this beautiful hand/forearm piece by Roger LaDouceur from Star City Tattoo in Roanoke, VA
I hope everyone had a fun long weekend. Judging by a couple of the facebook posts following Bowling with Weirdos X there were quite a few people who enjoyed themselves, perhaps a little too much. Anyone else feeling like this guy now that the weekend is over?
This fine skull was “hand”-crafted by Jackie Rabbit from Star City Tattoo in Roanoke, VA.
No fisting jokes this week. This is just a solid piece of work from Viktor Sigil from Self Sacrifice in London.
When it comes to hand poked tattoos, the experience of getting them is often just as significant to a person as the tattoo itself. With no machine, each and every prick of the needle is guided by the artist’s hand, creating a more intimate tie between the artist and the client. This effect is magnified when one decides to hand poke themselves. Below is Max Harris’ hand, and the butterfly/script hand poked tattoo that he gave himself. While Max travels a lot, he is currently based out of Boston, MA.
I’ve got one more of Max’s self-done tattoos for later today, so keep an eye on ModBlog to check it out. You won’t be disappointed.
4.5 hours, 1 sitting, 1 fantastic rendering of The Auspicious One. You really should check out the hand tattoo gallery to see all the images of this piece as there are close-ups of every element.
Juan Salgado from Color Conspiracy Tattoo Gallery in Garden Hills, Guaynabo P.R. is the artist behind this particular interpretation.
