Very impressive



A Dopey move? Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs fan gets ENTIRE CAST of Disney film tattooed on her back

She found s very talented artist to do the work (which seems to be the downfall of most people), but still, I don't know. A tattoo is forever, really, and certainly one like this. If its creation was painful, can you imagine what the laser treatments to remove it would be like? And how much scar tissue one would have?

Perhaps she's Yakuza?

No, I'll stick with my lily white untainted skin. Besides, how would they do any ink over all my wrinkles?

A small article



about a very weird conference.

Vatican university hosts unusual tattoo conference

I mean, I guess I can see the justification for it, to a point. It just seems to me to be a pretty unusual and esoteric area of specialization...

Even I would prefer china...


Woman celebrates divorce with full body tattoo by new lover


"Some women mark new-found singledom with a toyboy, others might splash out on a haircut or a new wardrobe, but mother-of-two Jacqui Moore celebrated her divorce with a single tattoo that covers 85 per cent of her body."
Maybe diamonds? A new car? Anything?!?

Maybe it's lifestyle related?


People with Irish gangster Ned Kelly tattoos more likely to be murdered or commit suicide

"Australian professor found men with tattoo 7.7 times more likely to be murdered"
I don't think it's any kind of 'curse' or anything. Lifestyle and attitude/outlook are likely the main reasons.

They should get a control group of 20 retired grandmother-types to get a Ned Kelley tattoo and see how many die in that way. No, come to think about it, a high percentage would probably commit suicide after thinking 'What have I done getting this stupid tattoo?', so that wouldn't work...

With a tattoo like that


this person had better stick around the cult for a long time, because that thing isn't going to come off easily...

SCIENTOLOGY

I wonder if the 'church' of Scientology is going to sue this person for use of their logo, or if he got permission ahead of time. They're really protective of anything that has copyright or trade mark issues. I guess it could be just another thing they could use to tie the person to them for even longer...

Pride goeth...

Gang tattoo leads to a murder conviction

"Inked on the chest of a Pico Rivera gang member was the detailed scene of a liquor store slaying that had stumped an L.A. County sheriff's investigator for more than four years. It leads to a jailhouse confession from Anthony Garcia — and a first-degree murder conviction."

Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!



Priceless Tattoo

Talk about an extreme example of what is known as 'proof-texting'! This is one of the funniest I've ever seen - and I'd laugh in a more than a maniacal manner if it weren't just so homophobic!

(What is it about all these tattoo posts lately? I seem to be running into tattoo articles everywhere. I know that they're trendy, but their trendiness is almost over, and the number of articles should be diminishing. I wonder what this means?)
