More skull related happenings:


I have quite a bit of ink in my skin, pushing 300 hours at this point, but the fellow above is truly a hardcore body modification enthusiast. Facial tattoos in North America radically transform public perception and interaction. A facial tattoo that also happens to be a skull, a symbol of death, likely increases that backlash one thousand fold. Still, it is a gorgeously detailed piece of work and I hope this brave fellow still loves the tattoo long after he stops playing bass in that metal band of his.

Seriously, though, hats off to this man. Hats off to the talented artist as well, a fellow named Frank who works out of Derm FX Tattoo in Montreal.

Update: I see Boing Boing and Neatorama both have this story up, though I believe ModBlog was the first.
