This was self-tattooed by Barrett (not Brad) Russell in Saskatoon… I’ve seen a few Lichtenstein tattoos but this is probably the only DIY one.

Love Lichenstein and this is a fairly decent copy. Nice.
Lichenstein! That is a lovely copy, especially since it was diy…
Great for a DIY piece but the colors really hurt this as a Lichenstein piece.
Am I the only one bothered by the repeated misspelling of his name?
Oops I did forget the ‘t’after the ‘h’
It’s also misspelled an entirely DIFFERENT way in the title of the blog entry 🙂 Lichtenstein!
Hahahahaha, I didn’t see that. Maybe I was thinking about lichen. [will fix]
I agree with Vinyl that the color choices detract from the overall effect, but I’m still happy to see more fine art tattoos.
that seems very random to me…
When I first read the entry title on my Live Journal RSS feed I thought it was referring to the COUNTRY not the artist. i wondered, “Who would tattoo THAT on themselves?” (Though I’m sure there are people who would!)
I have lots of Lichtenstein… I rock…
Tut, tan, you’re such an attention whore!
wow this is one of my favourite paintings, love the connection between art and art!!!
