Dude Gets Mario and Luigi Tattooed on Soles of Feet

The bottom of your feet are ultra-ticklish for a reason. They are very, very sensitive. So, I imagine this tattoo hurt a considerable amount. The soles of your feet have got to be a tender area.

I’m only slightly concerned that Mario will develop athlete’s foot on his face. Of... Continue reading

If one were so inclined to have fricken’ stilettos implanted into their heels, it probably could be done, no matter how freakishly painful it would be. I’d call them “Heel Heels.” All I can say is “HOLY SHIT, OMFG !@$#%#$” Ahh, better. Link

Use Piercings and Tattoos to Create Bio-Mechanical Body Mods

Body modding is no longer the social taboo it once was. In fact, it seems body mods, at least on the less extreme side of the spectrum, such as nose and tongue piercings, are all together trendy. But what about combining piercings and tattoos to create one overall body mod art piece? Your body is your canvas, indeed. This awesome body mod was accomplished using metal pieces which attach to the skin via piercings. The tribal style ink underneath adds... Continue reading
