This whole creature is pretty fantastic to look at. For whatever reason I can’t stop looking at the really amazing use of gray in this, especially in the gem at the bottom.

Sharktify Yourself!
One of our fellow tattoo snobs, Erin, has been so excited about shark week – she decided to show her permanent love.
While most of us can’t show our love on our hands, I’m suggesting we ‘Sharktify‘ ourselves for the week. Who’s in?

Sneaky shark attack
You didn’t think I was done forcing you all to celebrate Shark Week with me, did you?

Everybody loves…
This isn’t the first (or the last) time I’ve posted work from Jesse on TattooSnob. I can’t help it, everything he does is so damn colorful and (generally) involves animals. Let’s not kid ourselves here, everybody likes animal tattoos.

OwlDay: A less-than-common barn owl
I know, I know… everyone’s got an owl to show off lately. For the record I’m fairly sure this would be labeled a “common” barn owl by most ornithologists, though I think we can all agree that is not the case in this instance.

OwlDay: The Great Horned Death-Owl
In celebration of our very first (and possibly only) “Owl Day” here at TattooSnob, I thought you all would appreciate this beauty. The eyes on this great horned death-owl (note the skull below?) really caught my attention. I guess vibrant orange is my thing. *ahem*

Those Bostonians were clever
It seems both Scott and the bearer of this tattoo are Boston Terrier enthusiasts. Not that I blame them, because who could resist a face like that?

I Dare Say
High collars, fine shoes, and an excessive amount of ruffles affixed to the front of a man’s shirt tell me only one thing: an affinity for the finer things in life. Well, in a cat’s life in this case.

Superb-owl
Superb-owl! Get it?
Unfortunately I can’t take credit for this witty title, as I snatched it from Keith Ciaramello.

Tusk-ola
Not only did I catch myself saying “Awwwwww!” out loud after seeing this tattoo, but I’m strongly suggesting the artist make it available in a cuddle-able, plushie form as well.
