There was a man who was walking along a sandy beach where thousands of starfish had been washed up on the shore. He noticed a boy picking the starfish one by one and throwing them back into the ocean. The man observed the boy for a few minutes and then asked what he was doing. The boy replied that he was returning the starfish to the sea, otherwise they would die. The man asked how saving a few, when so many were doomed, would make any difference whatsoever? The boy picked up a starfish and threw it back into the ocean and said “Made a difference to that one…” The man left the boy and went home, deep in thought of what the boy had said. He soon returned to the beach and spent the rest of the day helping the boy throw starfish in to the sea….

It’s always been inspiring to watch tattoo apprentices really develop over the years, but lately it seems like it’s been happening faster than it used to. We received this tattoo below from John Kang, and he’s a perfect example of what I’m talking about.

I’ve been apprenticing under Mark Duhan for two months now…

I just wanted to start my day with something super-clean and simple. The tattoo below seems to do the trick, eh?

There’s only one way to improve upon easy-to-recognize animated characters: zombify them! Check out these fun little guys that Mark had the pleasure of booking during some open slots he had over the course of a week:

It’s that time again, the one week out of the year every kid on the internet tunes in to Discovery Channel after work. In honor of Shark Week, we’re giving these teethy creatures of the deep a whole Monday to themselves.

Sometimes, a home is just a home–regardless of what (or whom) used to inhabit it. Unless you’re living in a skull like the little guy below. That’s just wrong!

Today’s cute story is brought to you by Mark Duhan:

“This couple asked me to design semi matching traditional tattoos and add my own twist on it. His Heart Locket tattoo is on his forearm and her Key tattoo is on her foot. She now has the key to his heart.”

Have you ever seen the movie The Last Unicorn? It’s pretty applicable to this post, seeing how I plan for this to be the first, last, and only unicorn tattoo I ever post on TattooSnob.
