Personally, I like this one. For some reason the way the light hits it makes me think of wandering in a dark room with a flashlight, only for it to reveal a bleached human skull lying on the floor.

Love. Peace. Metallica.

Yes, I have a suggestion: stop typing like a fucktard. The way you changed the color and size of the text is obnoxious.

Love. Peace. Metallica.

What you’re suggesting is that you become a scratcher.

Fuck scratchers.

Tattooing is a serious business. Not only are you marking someone for life, you could seriously injury, or even kill, someone dumb enough to let you hack away at them.

While the concept sounds good on paper, I really don’t think that that imagery would work out very well as an actual tattoo. It just sounds like it wouldn’t translate from three dimensional to two dimensional very well.

The zombies in the source comic, and for that matter the zombies in the original Night of the Living Dead they were based off of, eat the flesh of all living things. In fact, that scene with the horse was taken verbatim from the comic.

In the comic, they attempt to cut off a person’s limb after being bitten twice. To avoid spoilers, one time it…[Read more]

For a project back in art school, we had to do a project that displayed an obsession.

I filled up a 500 page lined note book with my hand writing. For the first 197 pages, it read “I love Miley Cyrus”. For the next 230 or so I wrote “I love Miley”. For the remaining pages I wrote simply “Miley”. I also wrote a poem in iambic pentameter about…[Read more]

I hate to say it, but I got to go with the crowd–this bad boy ain’t to my taste, but it’s well done. Wear it proud my man.

No. It isn’t discrimination to not hire someone because of their tattoos. As for the rest, it just screams of rationalization and missing the damn point. But, whatever. Get your damn tattoo.

For te record, you do know spiderwebs on the face is a white supremacist thing in many places, right?

Lower back tattoo idea:

Love. Peace. Metallica.

Two things.

First off, go ask your artist. Part of the fee you pay them is to design a tattoo specifically for you.

Second, why are you asking us? Come up with your own imagery. This tattoo is supposed to be about you, to reveal your aesthetic taste, and show what you find to be worthy of a tattoo. If you can’t figure that out on your own,…[Read more]

Beelistic’s a solid shop, even if I’ve never been able to figure out the name. My sister got her first dermal anchors down there.

Either way, that’s a pretty decent piece man. Welcome to the club.

Love. Peace. Metallica.

Scrubmuncher hit it right on the head.

My question is why bother numbing it away? The pain and blood are part of the experience. This ritualistic aspect of tattooing is part of what separates us from those who do not have ink. It doesn’t make us better, or worse, than anyone else, but it’s something that’s happened to us that they can’t…[Read more]

It’s flashwork. People with flashwork are looked down upon by those of us with real tattoos. See that condescendition there? That’s the extact thing I’m talking about. Our ink is real, yours is gonna be flashwork.

Seriously though, until you can at minimum answer your questions yourself, you shouldn’t be getting that bland, nondescript, everybody…[Read more]

Most celebrity tattoos look like shit for the same reason 95% of what you see out and about looks like shit: people don’t know any better. Talk to someone with a shitty piece of scratcher ink and unless he’s gone to a reputable artist in the mean time and got educated on the subject, he’ll defend his penis riding a skateboard smoking a bong until…[Read more]

It’s always hard to judge works in process, but so far my man, it’s looking kinda sweet.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how you get a nice, juicy cock tattooed on your back.

You know, by being one.

Just sayin.

Granted, but on the eve of the inevitable zombie apocalypse, you hear a knock, knock, knocking on your doors as graved addled, yet somehow familiar voices call out your name…

I wish we could give Buzzkill another go around.
