A freaky procedure was carried out to turn a body-art fan’s eye blue, ala. Dune.
And it took FORTY insertions of the needle to get the job done.
Volunteer Pauly Unstoppable, from Canada, has perfect vision but jumped at the chance to be the first for this unusual work.

Welcome to Living in the Whine Country. New design going on, so please be patient and let me know on any issues.
Sibu the orang-utan has miffed his Dutch keepers by refusing to mate with females and showing sexual interest only in tattooed human blondes.
Apenheul Primate Park hoped Sibu would become its breeding male when he arrived two years ago, but orang-utans aren’t his type.
“He chases them, or ignores them, but he doesn’t do what he should [...]

This I hope is a photoshop. No sane parents would purposely tattoo their child. I’ve seen babies with tattoos and/or peircings, but I can’t believe any parent would have “love” and “hate” tattooed onto their babies knuckles.
Here’s an interesting photo-book about tattoo typography — “Body Type: Intimate Messages Etched in Flesh,” by Ina Saltz (09-2006). Found on Tim Cole’s blog, he’s with the Adobe InDesign team, “This book makes me wonder if the lack of a series of Body Art templates is a glaring oversight on our part.”
There is also a [...]

So… how do you DMCA a tattoo off of a person? I talked earlier about how a certain number is being threatened with copyright infringement. And I wonder how Rich plans to tell people that it’s a “09-f9-11-02-9d-74-e3-5b-d8-41-56-c5-63-56-88-c0 tattoo”? Is a magazine permitted to print photos of this tattoo? [...]
This looks like some monster movie turned real. The final product sorta looks like a tattoo, but instead of ink, the artist works with scalpels. The job done here looks unbelievably painful and nasty, but the participant seemed to be smiling through it. The final product actually doesn’t look too bad, but [...]
One of the joys of my job is dealing with some of the different businesses in town. Some are small (like new doctors offices), and some are fairly huge (like some wineries). But it’s the unusual ones that really are nice. Case in point is Rob Struven and his Tattoo parlor Garage [...]

I got passed this, and at first I didn’t believe… but some of these qualify as dumb-ass people. Are yes there are some that kids should not see or suffer nightmares. Note: Some of the views expressed here are not the same as I… They may be stupid, but no one needs to be [...]
Tattoo in prison makes molester a marked man
CARLISLE, Ind. — An inmate serving life in prison for molesting and killing 10-year-old Katie Collman is now the subject of an investigation into how he ended up with the tattoo “Katie’s Revenge” emblazoned across his forehead.
The Indiana Department of Correction placed Anthony Ray Stockelman, 39, in protective [...]

Hanzi Smatter 一知半解 Dedicated to the misuse of Chinese charecters in Western Culture.
I was reading various news posts about people who had gotten tatoos only to find out they didn’t say what they thought they said. Generally with Chinese or Japaenese charecters, they sometimes where only partially off. But sometimes they weren’t [...]
