Well, holy crap. Guy sends in this photo of his incredible Charles Darwin portrait by Aliz at Primitive Origins in Hammersmith, London, finished after three sessions. I have nothing to add here: This is some of the more outstanding portraiture I’ve seen in a very long time. I mean, it’s no Leslie Nielsen-butterfly, but still.

Thanks all!
To avoid confusion, this is located on my thigh.
Myke: It certainly is, in West London theres a ton of people wanting cross/religious icons tattooed and I presented Aliz with this and she was thrilled.
heretic138: It was 6 hours over 3 sessions.

I’ve also always wanted a Darwin, now it seems I’ll have to travel to the UK to get one though cause Aliz’s work looks incredible, I’m very jealous!

Love the tattoo, although D does look pissed off about something :p
Oh, and I remember reading somewhere that this year, being the anniversary of Darwin and all (or was it the the publication of OoS, I can’t remember), the Vatican issued a official statement saying that Darwin’s theory of evolution (or the synthetic theory) isn’t entirely at odds with the teachings of the Church and the Bible…:PP
Took them long enough to admit, that they were wrong.

I *love* this! Firstly because it’s amazing work, and secondly because it’s awesome to see someone getting a tattoo in honour of science and rationalism. You see so many religious tattoos, and not enough atheist/agnostic tattoos! I’m planning to get a tattoo of David Attenborough done this summer 🙂
