I love the colors. This is beautiful. 

Ok, this is weird: I do an image search on this tattoo because I know who the illustrator is (Henry Darger), but I also want to credit the tattooer and photographer… And the tattoer is my friend, Mel. Which makes me love the tattoo (and Mel) even more. You can see more photos from this same trip here, and oh yeah, the photographer is a Flickr friend of mine, likely from knowing Mel.

The internet is so strange.

Great little promo video for the wonderful artist Steve Wimmer. Check it.

Aw, my K-bot made that machine. And Steve is a nice fellow.

Mike Adams is a nice dude, a great tattooer, and you should absolutely buy some prints (belated holiday gifts!) from him because his car got stolen and nobody deserves that mess.
