Body Art

I went looking for Halloween tats, and got more than I bargained for. Wow, there is some beautiful work out there! I’m thinking there will be more posts on the subject. For now, I’ll leave you with several favorites.
Darcy Nutt
Rebirth Tattoo, possibly by Coral Petrie. Why yes, the wearer does run a porn site in Alaska.
Joshua Bowers
Wendy Pham
John Sweeney
Teresa Sharpe
David Hale
Lace ink is a beautiful way to cover a body. Abstract, yet recognizable, it is infinitely malleable.
Watson Adkinson
Several artists have ventured into white ink. This sleeve by Watson Adkinson is subtle and delicate, truly looking like it is a part of the wearer.
Joby Cummings
This white shoulder piece by Joby Cummings is bolder.
Xoil
Xoil adds his modern style to a lace garter.
Dexeen
Fellow French artist, Dexeen, who has a similar style, creates stunning detail in this collar.
Crotalo
I leave you with this, which, sadly, is not real. It’s been posted everywhere as an example of a fantastic lace tattoo, and I hope someday, someone actually does this. According to the photographer: “it’s a tattoo pattern drawn on her back, the technique to map it with precision is half way between 3d modeling and photo editing…” He thinks it wouldn’t be possible to make this a real tattoo. I bet Dexeen could do it.
Jamie Sawyer
I love tattoos, bats, and lace separately, so it’s only natural I like them together. Here’s a relatively simple underboob design by Jamie Sawyer.
Will Koffman
Will Koffman inks knees that please.
Minka Slicklinger
Minka Slicklinger takes a more realistic approach.
Teresa Sharpe
Teresa Sharpe blows my batty mind.
