I collect a lot of art, some hangs on the walls, some on my skin.

Here's some of my latest, but none on my face

This one on my calf is my car




I truely believe Im one of the luckiest people on the planet, this one has a lot of lucky symbols and is on the inside of an upper arm



Planning on getting some more ink whilst in Tokyo on the way home.

why in tokyo? r u doing it the traditional japanese way, taking 25 years to get something half done?

anywhere except japan has got to be cheaper unless you know somebody

Thanks for the heads up, Im looking for some traditional work done there so if you can offer some suggestions that would be great. The only leads I have to date is in Tokyo through a US hotrodder I know..

They would be EVEN COOLER if they were on your face.

And now for some light relief

Good one!

Looking good 2pints!!

That guy would be able to be 2 people at once! Just turn round and be a lion, turn round the other way and be a.... burning up half skull.

Brilliant!

Surely that is just makeup!!!!
(And he left off half of the top of his face as well, hope he gets that filled in soon).

Here's some good ones

And this one, perhaps I could have "2pints,mate" up there and just point to it when I go into the bar:

I like that brain one.

Body tattoo! Leopard man! Cool



The leopard man has been domesticated. After 20 years of living in the wilds on a remote part of Skye, the man made famous for his leopard tattoos has changed his spot for a one-bedroom apartment. At 73, Tom Leppard was starting to feel his age, and the weekly kayak trip across the fast-flowing Kyles of Lochalsh for supplies was taking its toll. He was "one big wave away from disaster", and when a friend offered him the chance to leave the shore of Loch na Bèiste for the comfort of four walls in the village of Broadford, he leapt at the chance.

Maybe I am just old fashioned or something, but those guys here look absolutely dreadful, christ imagine if little children saw them walking doen the street they would most probably have bloody nightmares.
Sorry but Tattoos like those = Not cool and Not clever at all.

Don't be silly snowdude, it's cool. You're just jealous really.

This guy looks like a troll doll .... or some wierd kind of smurf.

I have to wonder if the regret hits them at any stage as they mature and realise that they didn't really want to look like this forever. I see lots of young men with those ear plugs that are slowly expanding thier lobes to end up like the guys above (maybe not as extreme) but all I can see are the patients in the local plastic surgeons office in 10 years time!

In this instance I reckon "psycho" may actually be a warning to all who encounter him - he sure looks a little unbalanced. I often thought someone must have tattooed SLAVE across my forehead - but I would never willingly put it there!! How does doing something like this ever allow room for personal growth and maturity? It doesn't - they are locked into being gits for eternity!!!

Interesting. Apart from the obvious tattoo on his forehead, why does he look unbalanced? I agree he does, but --- why?

I am sure someone in criminal profiling could give you much better reasoning, but you know people (and animals) get instant impressions about the dangers or safety of certain people just by looking at them. Our first impressions are often correct, although the art of disguise through dress, grooming etc can mislead.

I would say the PSYCHO tattooed across his forehead is the first clue! But if you stick your thumb over it he still looks 'off'... The tight lipped expression and sideways glance of the eyes does not engender trust. And the hairstyle/beard style is very characteristic of the type favoured by 'rough' boys. None of those things alone would make him seem unbalanced, but the combination of them all does.

I wonder what we can take from this guy





That guy with the eggs on his head probably is telling us that he.... likes eggs. Or something.
