Well, this is a fairly new genre of tattoos, and it’s debatable whether this is a step forwards or backwards. While nobody can deny the incredible visuals of the video game world are excellent material for tattoos, with bright colours and cartoon-like styles, is it really a good idea to dedicate your arm to Sonic the Hedgehog, forever? Hmmm…

We came across this really cool design on flickr.com.
Great little tattoo design!
It’s a great little loose design that uses skin space really well – not too much ink makes it really effective.

Check out the Into You website for some amazing artwork by Mr X. It’s not to everyone’s taste but his extremely bold and simple style is pretty original and impressive, even if a lot of the subject matter is the usual same-old-stuff.

Trucker Tom Face Tattoo
A site well worth checking out is Trucker Tom’s Tattoo page. We first heard of Tom a few years ago when he was (and still is!) a star of the podcasting scene. Tom was a regular on Adam Curry’s Daily Source Code show at a time when podcasting was just beginning to explode and people like Adam Curry and his Podshow company were at the forefront of this DIY media broadcasting revolution. Tom, a man of surprises to say the least, applies himself with diligence to many interests, from trucking and tattooing to biking and computer maintenance.
A man of many talents and just as many kick ass tattoos!
There’s no doubt that swallows and the whole old school tattoo aesthetic are well and truly back in fashion. There’s no shortage of swallow designs doing the rounds at the minute, but these gorgeous designs from Toni Moore at Modern Body Art are the best we’ve seen in a long time – truly graphic and illustrative and she has a great eye for colour. There’s plenty more on offer at the website from other artists too, making it a goldmine of inspiration!

Flash Shop Now Open at BodyIllustrated.com
Great news today – the Body Illustrated tattoo flash shop is now open.
It’s a modest start with just the one design available for now, but please bear with us as the library grows – there is plenty of artwork ready to go online for your delight, it’s just a case of finding the time to get it all up there!
All designs will be professionally rendered vector artwork, featuring the fully shaded and coloured version along with the outline. The artwork is in PDF format, so it can be scaled to any size (even billboard size!) and there will be no loss of quality or sharpness!
In the meantime, why not have a look at the fledgling shop…
Amazing Tattoos by Tomas Tomas
This is without a doubt the most amazing body of work I’ve seen for a long time. The only way to describe the work of Tomas Tomas is completely original! To me, the reason his designs work so well is the juxtaposition of the strong, heavy yet elegant geometric shapes against their subtle shading. Tattoo art generally seems to shy away from geometry and straight lines in favour of more organic, flowing designs that complement body shapes, so it’s a real treat to see something so at odds with the usual approach working so well!
