Jun Cha just wrapped up a trip in Paris, and updated his blog with pictures from the trip. With the number of pictures that were posted, you can get a good idea of what Jun’s trip looked like.

I love the bird in the background, and her hair with those flowers but her eyes really seem to draw me in.

Eric Kuiken does a lot of quirky tattoos, but this tattoo is a little more main stream.

I know a handful of people are tired of the animal carcass over the head thing, but I’m still digging these pieces.

I’m not going to lie, Julene would do a much much better job of writing something witty about a John Steinback tattoo. Unfortunately she’s not writing this entry, so instead I’m going to leave you with this quote for this untraditionally traditional portrait.

Below is a portrait of Alan Turing–an absolute legend, or so I’ve read. Click his name to

Sometimes I think people sleep on Kore Flatmo. This post is just to remind everyone the caliber of tattooing that Kore does.

After Phillip K. Dick (author of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep–the book ‘Blade Runner‘ was based on) passed away, a robotic version of him was built and then programmed to be “interviewed” based on recordings made during old interviews.

Seems like a pretty fitting memorial for a sci-fi author, no?

Jimmy based this tattoo off a photograph of the notoriously camera-shy author, as well as adding the circuit boards from the few pictures available of the robotic version of his head. (The head and it’s contents were lost on a flight in 2006 and never recovered. Hanson Robotics announced at the beginning of this year they had built a replacement.)

Seems that Sacred Tattoo here in NYC has added another tattooer to their lineup. (And no, it’s not Tim Gunn.)

To see more of Adam’s work, or for more info on getting tattooed by him – check out the The Electric Ladyland Tattoo website.

One of my favorite things about the internet is my ability to translate things from foreign tattooers’ webpages. How else would I know what “Rewolucja” meant?!
