I really like iam:minneapolis‘s figure-8 tattoo! This picture (which I think I pushed the levels on too far, sorry — check his page for a picture that also includes spandex) was taken after the second session by Cerny at Steady Tattoo in Minneapolis, MN.

I’m assuming this is an Elliott Smith tribute – it’s the wall from Sunset Boulevard where the cover of his Figure 8 album was taken. I love it – I’ve always wanted one like this.

it’s not a figure 8 like the number, it’s from the cover of elliott smith’s album figure 8. maybe that should be clarified. :]
