Cool and Crazy Masters of Transportation























Beautiful Electric Steampunk Motorbike by Tom Sepe


I wonder why people are crazy about steampunk things. I wonder and I can’t find a satisfying answer for that. Although, when I see some of those steampunk mods and designs I realize why some people are crazy about them. It is enough to say that they look awesome and what is more important, they look unique. This is Tom Sepe from West Oakland and that is his steampunk motorbike. He used a 1967 Tote-Gote frame to start building the bike about a year ago. But he decided to make it use electricity to power the engines instead of fuel. He used a 15 HP electric motor but he had some troubles with placing batteries, he had to modify and enlarge the frame in order to find some additional space for them.As you can see, he did some pretty respectful work in designing some details of this bike so it looks like it is from 18th century or similar. I am sure no one in his town has a bike like that and it seem Stepe enjoys riding that electric steampunk thing.

Annmarie's Amazing Tree


I met Jason and Annmarie in Penn Station as they were headed home to Arizona.

You can check out Jason's ink here.

I wanted to give each their proper due.

I was fortunate that Annmarie didn't mind pulling up her skirt a little so I could see this incredible thigh tattoo:


Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get all the details on the piece that I would have liked and, to date, my e-mail queries have gone unanswered.

But I can tell you the artist responsible for this piece was Tony Massoli of Massoli Tattoo in Chandler, Arizona.

Thanks again to Annmarie for sharing her wonderful tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Jason's Ink Pays Tribute to a Genre


I met Jason and Annmarie in Penn Station as they were headed home to Arizona.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get all the details on their work that I wanted and they haven't responded to my email queries.

Jason is a big fan of horror films and his right arm is an entire sleeve of memorable villains from that genre:


Lacking a lot of knowledge in the area, I am woefully unable to identify any of the characters, but I didn't want that to stop me from posting the arm. Readers are welcome to post in the comments section helping me identify these gruesome personae.

In addition, Jason's left arm has this immense Freddy Kreuger (from the A Nightmare on Elm Street series) wrapping around it.

Now, I mentioned Annmarie at the beginning of the post. Check out the tattoo she offered up to us here.

In the mean time, thanks again to Jason for sharing his tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!

Novo recorde com tatuagens do Vasco da Gama

Foram precisas 802 Cruzes Templárias tatuadas em 22 horas, para que fosse quebrado o recorde mundial. 806 torcedores do Vasco da Gama, confiaram suas peles ao tatuador Eric Codo, para a maratona que levaria o Clube de Regatas Vasco da Gama ao Guinness Book. Nem o presidente Roberto Dinamite ficou de fora e tatuou pela primeira vez a cruz na panturilha direita.

O tatuador americano Hollis Cantrell era o atual detentor do recorde quebrado pele brasileiro.

Além da tatuagem, quem reforçou o time dos torcedores tatuados do Vasco da Gama ao participar da campanha Vasco na Pele, também ganhou uma camisa 3 oficial do clube.

Veja abaixo o vídeo da campanha e o vídeo oficial do recorde.
