Street Anatomy

Anatomia del corpo humano

A viewer recently submitted this incredible arm tattoo on one of her students at City College of San Francisco.

Looks like it’s based on Juan Valverde de Amusco’s Anatomia del corpo humano, which was most likely originally drawn by Gaspar Becerra (1520?-1568?), a contemporary of Michelangelo.

Foot Bones

It’s been a while since we’ve posted an anatomical tattoo, so here’s a fresh foot tat sent to us by Gretchen.

I wanted to get my first tattoo for my 30th birthday this year. I knew I wanted it placed somewhere on my body that I could see it, and I LOVE anatomical art and medical illustration. This led me to doing a sort of stylized partial exposure of the bones of my foot. the work was done by Derik at http://www.handofglorytattoo.com/

Scott Campbell’s Anatomical Art

Critically acclaimed tattoo artist, Scott Campbell, recently showed his work at the O.H.W.O.W. gallery in Miami, FL. The highlight of the evening was a series of laser-cut etchings, each on a stack of $1 bills. The collection is entitled “Make It Rain” and shows a sampling of the artist’s dark and beautiful undertones.

Scott Campbell was born in rural Louisiana and began his career illustrating before mastering the art of tattoo. In 2004, he opened Saved Tattoo in Brooklyn where he perfected his signature style.

Skeletal Back Tattoo

Been seeing more and more of these skeletal back tattoos lately.  This tattoo would be great with a pair of red kidneys hiding just under the 11th pair of ribs there.

Back Cut Out

This fantastic tattoo represents a nice chunk of skin removed to reveal the anatomy below.  I like how the fat is depicted in the skin layer, reminds me of anatomy lab.
