When someone submits a “Beard Love” tattoo?  Granted Lauranomaly probably loves all beards, so it’s not really pandering, but it sure is a good way to get me to take notice.  Anyone else think BME needs a beard gallery?

This will probably also be the finest use of the “Hearty Beards” tag.

Or is it hand in heart?

Whatever it is, it is an interesting design by Darigo Bonatto, yet another artist from Self Sacrifice in London.

Photographer Chris M Day has a knack for shooting BMEGirls.  Especially ones enjoying a hot summer day at the beach.  The only information I have about this set is that it was taken on a beach in New Jersey.  Unfortunately no information about the model, but don’t let that distract you from her beauty.

Earlier today we saw Max Harris’ self-done hand poked tattoo on his hand.  As I mentioned earlier, that was just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Max’s self done tattoos.  This incredible colour wheel on Max’s chest is another self-poked tattoo.  For his next trick, he’s going to tattoo his own back.

Joey Pang’s brush stroke tattoos have always been incredible, but this single stroke is phenomenal.  I just wish we had a closer shot of the bottom section so we could see the detail she put into it.  She has a way of taking a tattoo machine and turning it into a giant paintbrush, the result of which is this single bold stroke that fits his body so well.

And we’ll put a round in your head before you can come back and bite one of us.

I’m a sucker for zombie tattoos, and this one is my new favorite.  Instead of going for the vampire bite on the neck, this gentlemen opted for a zombie bite on the shoulder.  With a bite like that, he’ll probably live for a few hours, maybe even days before he turns.  Not somebody you want to get locked in a bunker with.

Joshua Ross from Mind’s Eye Tattoo in Emmaus, PA is the artist behind this flesh wound.

Jackie Rabbit has quickly established herself as an artist to watch out for.  We’ve seen a lot of her work on ModBlog over the past few months, and for good reason.  Her art doesn’t always fit into one genre, yet it all comes out looking great.  This one in particular is an interesting one as it’s her first time using UV ink.  Sadly the darkened image is a little blurry, which I’m assuming is the result of the low light, however you can see that she used the UV ink to highlight the bodies of the fireflies and the edges of the leaves.  For a first attempt, I’d say she did a great job.

I love this photo especially how she’s managed to co-ordinate her outfit, jewelry, hair color, and modifications.  What a great way to round out a Monday.

I’m not sure what I like most about this heart by Roger from Star City Tattoo, the color choices, the use of strong lines in the heart for veins, or the softened lines coming out of the heart.  He’s managed to take a simple concept like a heart and make it something truly incredible.

It’s been too long since we’ve had a gratuitous BMEBoy post, so here’s Joao Caldara and his cat Gaia relaxing in Rio de Janeiro.
