Tattooed by John Devilman at Tattoo Syndicate in San Bernadino, CA… which he tells me is the most dangerous city in California, so I can see the suitability of the governator tattoo… “That which does not kill you makes you stronger.”

wow i love the detail in that 🙂
*oh shit*
Cracking piece of artwork.
San Bernardino is NOT the most dangerous city in cali. FAR from it. it is a shithole though.
WHERE IS HIS LOWER BODY!?!?
Is he holding the blade?
Is the shiny bit on his sword actually a scar?..
I live in that area and yeah…it is kinda a shithole.
Yeah, I’m a bit baffled myself as to why he’s holding the blade itself rather than the handle. swords have handles for a reason….they’s sharp.
“Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that two stood against many. That’s what’s important! Valor pleases you, Crom… so grant me one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you!”

Mofo better listen. Word to your barbarian mother. ::scratches random barbarian style turn table:: You know barbarians had to have mad raves back then.
Anyways, I loved the tattoo. I especially enjoy the detail on the muscular structure and the hair.
Haha, that is so awesome. Great tattoo.
Yay for Conan!
The part of the blade he’s holding isn’t sharp. If you look up Conan the Barbarian on google you’ll see: http://filmswords.com/images/conan/atlantean-b.jpg
Anyway, cool tat. Damn good for color.
Arnold Schwarzenegger?

Ooo, it looks just like my boyfriend did when he had long hair… Well, except the face of course. But even still…
Not to be a prude or anything, but that tattoo was actually done by me, John Devilman, (a completely different John Montgomery) who works at Body Electric in Hollywood.
I’ve updated this entry, but email us if there’s the same problem on BME as well.

I also work at Body Electric tattoo in Hollywood, CA… and… it’s kinda dangerous here too, but mostly because of the wannabe actors trying to get a leg up on you all the time.
