Look both ways

So the last time I posted a tattoo of a statue, I may have mistaken Moses for Zeus.  Well this time I’m positive this is a statue of Janus.  Coincidentally this tattoo is by another Kipod Tattoo artist, Michael Kozlenko.

And not only a Unicorn, but also a Jackalope!

This was sent in by ChorusOfAngels, who also has the Haste the Day chest piece.



Together

Here’s the other photo I mentioned earlier that was sent in by FemaleHumanoid.  The focus here is not just on the couple, but also their tattoos.  In fact I’d hazard a guess that the point of the photo is to showcase the work, that just happens to be on these two individuals.  As with the earlier post, you’ll definitely want to go to the gallery to see the full sized version of this photo so you can get a better look at the tattoos.



Thunderbolts and Lightning

This bust of Zeus is anything but frightning.

EDIT: And by Zeus I mean Michelangelo’s “Moses”

Tattoo by Arad Bert, Kipod Tattoo, Tel Aviv.



Traditional Door Gods

Today is one of those days that I wish the margins on ModBlog didn’t exist.  This phenomenal backpiece by Joey Pang from Tattoo Temple in Hong Kong is exquisite in every respect. You can click on the photo to see it full-sized so you can understand just how incredible it is.

You can see more of Joey’s recent work in the oriental-style tattoo gallery.



TurtleGate

I suppose someone decided that this week is Stargate week, as this is the second Stargate inspired tattoo that’s popped up in the geek tattoo gallery.  It’s an amalgam of both the Stargate glyphs, and the world turtle mytheme.



Ghostly Geisha

This interesting little piece was sent in by Joey Pang of Tattoo Temple in Hong Kong.  It’s no secret how much I love her work, and this piece is just another example of how awesome she is.

The all-seeing eye

Vincent Hocquet from Beautiful Freak Tattoo in St. Idesbald in Belgium always manages to create stunning images.  This week is no different with this dotwork sleeve he sent in.

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



Beware the Gorgon

One of the most common tales from Greek mythology is that of Medusa.  With her head of snakes and gaze that could turn any man to stone, she’s been recreated in film and art for centuries.  Layylayy added this Medusa by Todd Noble from Black Cobra in Salisbury, MD to her leg and has since then caused anyone to look at it to stop everything they were doing and stare into her fierce gaze.



Kitsune in black

Out of the shadows comes a heavy black kitsune design by Genko from Nagoya, Japan.

You can check out the full sized version of this menacing fox in the oriental style tattoo gallery.
