Peter Mahoney hasn’t worn any jewellery in his lobes for over six months. They’re sitting at just over 3/4″ now and he’s quite happy about it (although he’s found that he’s asked more questions about them now than ever before).

Photograph by Richelle Forsey, tattoos by Daniel Innes (Good Time Design), lobes initially scalpelled by Russ.

* - Not to be confused with the awe-inspiring photographic project by Syx of BlackFrame Studios.

The tattoo above is by Greg Ross (The Blue Rose Tattoo, Huntsville, Alabama) and he was asked to do it by a customer who had decided to bequeath all her organs to the University of Alabama, Birmingham’s Anatomical Donor Program (i.e. Making a bequest of her body to medical research after her death). The tattoo artists at the shop signed as witnesses on her donor form, which I thought was a nice touch.

The work was from her original design and the imagery is a combination of memento mori funeral portraiture and versions of anatomical “Venus type” wax anatomical models.

DAnik’s already got a pair of forceps under his skin so I doubt a scalpel will make matters worse..

Loving the floor tiles, by the way!

“James and I met online two years ago in a Zelda forum. The first pictures we saw of each other were not of our faces but of these tattoos, they inspired us to become friends, then to eventually meet.

Our first date was a night of Mario Kart 64 and we’ve been together ever since! We thought this shot at our wedding would be especially appropriate..“
