Call me Ahab

While I have yet to confirm this is a Moby Dick tattoo, I think this is one of those rare times when I can assume without making an ass out of ‘u’. Or more importantly, me.

Panda-monium

Does this tattoo make anyone else think of this photo? I realize this panda is on a bike & much better dressed than his race car driving buddy, but

Even more Gaga

If you remember, I posted a different Lady Gaga tattoo a few weeks back. I was psyched on the idea of doing an entire theme day around Lady Gaga tattoos… until I realized there just aren’t enough good ones out there to pull it off. Yet. Something tells me that won’t be the case for long.

In the eye

I really hope this piece is accompanied by a female on the opposite foot. If he gets a knife in the eye, I wonder she’ll be assaulted with?

Splash of color

We’ve posted quite a bit of work by Thomas Hooper, but this is the first color piece to grace our site.

While I love the color of this piece, I think I prefer the black and grey pieces. They seem more… authentic?

Foo on you

Is it just me, or have Chinese Foo Dogs have caught on in tattoo popularity over the last few months? I’m not complaining, for the record. I love seeing a non-traditional approach to depicting traditional imagery and it seems I’m rubbing off on some of you readers, too.

A phoenix and Food Dog just go so well together, don’t you think?

Sidekick Day: Been around the block

Pamela Anderson has been the sidekick to a long list of guys, including David Spade and Criss Angel. I guess desperate times call for desperate measures?

Sidekick Day: What’s his name?

This sidekick is so irrelevant that I don’t even know his name. (I didn’t bother to Google it, either.) I just remember Sonic flying through the levels, and his sidekick chasing him. Did he serve any other purpose?

While everyone clearly knew Mario was the main dude – at least people knew who Luigi was.

Sidekick Day: Teach your grandmother to suck eggs

As a kid I wasn’t allowed to watch Ren & Stimpy. Not like that stopped me from watching, since I’m such a rebel and all. I’m pretty sure I know most of the words to The Happy Happy Joy Joy Song still, too. Warning: singing along at high volume could potentially alienate some of your coworkers this afternoon.

Sidekick Day: Oh My God

How do you post a picture of Jesus on ‘Sidekick Day’ without being overly offensive?

Blame it on Julene! This was all her idea! Please don’t infest my house with locusts…
