As an iPhone user, one of the things I love is the wide variety applications I can download. Some I use every day, while others are ‘just in case.’ Within that that last grouping falls the novelty apps, and I don’t think creater Jeremy Swan Jeremy Swan would be offended if I said iTattoo Artist fits in that genre.

iTattoo Artist transforms your iPhone into a tattoo machine, simulating the sounds and basic vibration of a machine. Release the grip and the machine will come to a halt… and the blood splatter will be wiped up on screen. Three different needles are available– the liner, the shader, or the close up if you’re going for those tight details.

From the second I started playing with the iTattoo Artist, I immediately thought of the little kids that wants to talk to me about tattoos. I’m looking forward to the day where a little boy tells me he wants one, and I can entertain him with this app.

For 99¢, the iTattoo Artist is a fun application, and worth the download for anyone who is looking for a little tattoo fun.

I can already foresee the amusing pictures this little beer thumb will generate…

Remember us talking about Jeremy Swan from Broken Art Tattoo? Yes you do, he was the tattoo artist that attempted to break the world record of “Most tattoo’s given in 24 hours.” Well, he was successful, and actually went above the required 801, and completed an absurd 875 tattoo’s in 24 hours.

The L.A. Times covered the event and made a great video (embedded below.) The video covers the event, the atmosphere, and interviewed Swan prior to the event starting.

Jeremy Swan, tattoo artist and owner of Broken Art Tattoo, will attempt to break the world record of “Most tattoo’s given in a 24 hour period” this Friday the 13th. 801 is the magical number that Jeremy needs to complete to break the current record, and he will start at Midnight on Friday, November 13th (I.E. midnight tonight.)

If you’re in the Los Angeles area, the event starts tonight at 11pm at Broken Art (see the site for directions.) Food and beverages will be provided, and a live band will be on hand to kick the event off. There has been a handful of articles on the event (here, here and here,) but I’m sure once the event is underway there will be even more. Here’s the press release for additional information, and Jeremy has pictures of the available designs on his blog.

801 is a ridiculous number of work to be done in 24 hours. I can’t imagine how much Jeremy’s hands will ache when this is all said and done. This world record has seen a lot of activity over the past couple of years. Oliver Peck originally set the world record, and it was later broke by none other than Kat Von D. Oliver then took it back, but lost it to Hollis Cantrell this past November.
