Munich based tattoo shop Chaos Crew created a poster identifying newsworthy events from 2011. What makes this poster so special? It’s calfskin, and the art wasn’t screen printed or painted, but tattooed on!
It’s a great concept—though it does make me cringe a little. I have a decent number of tattoos and yet, there’s still something kinda eerie about this.

This is one historical anatomical illustration that I have yet to see inked on someone’s body until now! Rodrigo down in Mexico City sent me his Riemsdyk tattoo saying, “People think I’m crazy but I really like Riemsdyk`s drawings and the history behind them.” The illustration was originally drawn by Jan van Riemsdyk, in Anatomia uteri human gravidi (The Anatomy of the Human Gravid Uterus), by anatomist William Hunter (1774).
Tattoo by Pablo Xno, Mexico City.
I have never wanted a tattoo until this very moment. These are just a few of the many gorgeous tattoos by São Paulo-based artist Gregorio Marangoni. His style is so detailed and I love the tone he achieves with what looks like stippling on skin. The work speaks for itself and I urge you to take a look through all the tattoos on his site, blog.gregoriomarangoni.com!

Gorgeous neck anatomy tattoo taken from Atlas of Anatomy by Jean Baptiste Marc Bourgery. Bennett Barch got this tattoo after spending years in medical school and residency, “I decided to get the tattoo as a symbol of the effort I put into my career.” I think I like the line version as much as the color. Well done!
The tattoo was done by Chicago-based tattoo artist, Scott Fricke.
It’s been a while since we’ve posted an anatomy tattoo. Thankfully Steven Fowler was kind enough to share his with us. Done by James Buie at Inksmit and Rogers in Jacksonville, the anatomical heart tattoo is a momento of Steven’s heart condition when he was younger and also as a reminder that the past made him who he is today.
