Unusual Tattoos

I love cool and unusual tattoos. This "angry eye" looks so real, even down to the bloodshot whites. It's looking at you from the back of the guy's leg!

This looks real enough that I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up dead or behind bars for a concealed weapon. Imagine a cop seeing that? I don't think he'd ask if it was real before shooting.

Gun down pants

Very clever!! Who comes up with these ideas....

Arm mask

Another belly-button tattoo. I like this one because although it's a bad Bart drawing, we all know he's a little arsehole!

Dumbest Tattoo

If this was my son I'd have to kick his butt all the way home. This has to be the dumbest tattoo I've ever seen.

Extreme Body Piercing

Now you can't tell me that wouldn't hurt. I came across a site tonight with some pictures of very extreme body piercings, branding, scarification and implants. Made me feel very queasy. I have a couple of tattoos and piercings, but nothing extreme. If you love the pictures on here, you'll love Life in the Fast Lane.

Painted Face

The 10th Annual New York City Tattoo Convention at the Roseland Ballroom was held in March this year. Tattoo aficionados came from all over to admire tattoos, have their tattoos judged and even get tattooed at the convention.

Who needs face paint when you can have a tattoo like this one?

Glow In The Dark Tattoos

Thanks to a fascinating new technique you can cover yourself in body art and no one will be the wiser – unless they see you in the dark, which is the only time these tattoos are visible. The new technique uses blacklight reactive ink, which is reactive to UV light. This does look pretty cool, and it's a good idea for giving new life to old tattoos.

Pre-Occupation With Belly Buttons

I think I prefer monkeys to cats, and I'm no cat lover, but would you really want to wear these for the rest of your life? I'm sure the cat guy just wanted to hide an awful-looking belly button.

What, you hate the way you look and want to be totally outrageous, or you're in to the shock value, or you need somewhere to stash your phone and beer: no pockets!

Overly Pierced

I have a daughter aged 13 who every birthday tells me she's getting something pierced. So far I've managed to stop the body mutilation, but she insists come Christmas she'll have belly-buton ring. "It's my body, mum", is her response to my "No". This is my nightmare:

Cheeky Tattoo

This guy had what he thought was a great tattoo... until he wound up being sent to prison on an unrelated charge. Now he's the most popular guy in prison.

Scar Tattoo

Scarification—cutting or branding marks into the skin—is becoming an increasingly widespread type of body modification throughout the U.S., Europe, and Australia.

This is a freshly carved scar tattoo.

Scar Tattoo

This is the skin that came off to create it.

Skin removed to create tattoo

Scarification is done either by cutting repeatedly with a scalpel, using a cauterizing tool, or by "strike branding," which is much like cattle branding.

ScarificationAfter cleaning the area and stenciling on the design, the artist begins cutting or burning the skin until reaching the right depth and width. "It can take 15 minutes, but I've also done pieces that took eight hours over two days," said Ryan Ouellette, a body-modification artist who owns Precision Body Arts in Nashua, New Hampshire.

Monkey Business

It never ceases to amaze me where people get these ideas, and then want to make it a permanent feature of their bodies. Imagine this tattoo in another 20 or 30 years. One very puckered monkey butt.
