Is this the next step in tattoo technology? Here’s a 3D tattoo by Jean-François Palumbo of Boucherie Moderne:
The diamond uses the same crimson and blue, but to different effect. Don 3D glasses and the stone ‘jumps out’ at you. In fact, this three dimensional optical illusion even works to some extent without 3D specs. I’d like to create something more complex in my next tattoo – fish that appear to be swimming beneath a 3D layer of water, for example.

If you’re an Obama supporter, you can now put your skin where your mouth is: an Oklahoma tattoo artist is giving away free tattoos of the presidential hopeful!
Talk about a stinging endorsement! A tattoo shop in Moore, Oklahoma is giving Barack Obama tattoos for free.
"I don’t have any extra money to donate to the cause," said Phillip Calfy, tattoo shop owner. "I’m a tattoo artist and a lot of people that are into the tattoo thing like free tattoos."

Turn that nasty scar from your childhood appendectomy into something way cooler, like a bear attack or something. Spin your own tale of machismo with (temporary) Tattoos for Heroes by Miss Geschick & Lady Lapsus.

It’s probably not a good idea to get a Japanese or Chinese character tattoo if you don’t speak the language, but something in English is safe, right? Well, perhaps not if you can’t spell: The L Magazine has a round up of the 10 greatest misspelled tattoos. My lack of spelling ability has always prevented me from getting a tattoo. That and general fear of pain.

Contrariwise: Literary Tattoos is a blog documenting tattoos from books, poetry, music, and other sources. There are a lot of tattoos inspired by the works of Kurt Vonnegut, J.K. Rowling, and Dr. Seuss. Link -via Look at This

Bizarre Magazine, to which I am an avid reader and subscriber, has tracked down Zombie Boy – the facially tattooed Montreal youth who stirred up much debate here on Neatorama regarding his sanity. Of course then the tattoo was limited to an extremely detailed facial skull but since Zombie Boy has invested more than $4000 into his quest to be a tattooed zombie.

Before you get that trendy tattoo, read this article by Johnny Wright over at our pal YesButNoButYes blog:
With other fads, you can participate and not make it a lifetime commitment. You can take the double hoop earrings out pretend it never happened. (If you still have those, you need to take them out.) You can shave off your side-spike. You can take off your parachute pants. It’s a little more of a chore to remove your Dane Cook "Su-Fi" tattoo.
For example:
4. The Neck Tattoo - This one seems to be growing in popularity. Hardly a day goes by when I don’t see a child’s name in fancy cursive tatted on a straphanger’s neck while riding the 1 train. It’s not a good idea unless you are a musician or professional athlete. You are essentially cashing in your respect in society with the neck tat. If you’re going in for a […]
