Nicole‘s tattoo is just outlined right now, but it’s going to look amazing I think when it’s all finished. It’s being done for her by Chat Whitson at Art and Soul in Kalamazoo/Battle Creek, MI. Nicole, please be sure to send in final shots — they’ll definitely be ModBlogged!

That is such a cute idea!
very original, looks cool now, can’t wait for it to finish 🙂
aw, I love art & soul. i’ve gotten my tattoo and last three piercings there.
and that tattoo is gonna be great when finished, i can’t wait to see it.
hell yeah nikki!!!!!!!
that’s pretty neat…never did like that game, though (my sister and i would always stop halfway through…but what’s halfway through in the game of life??), so i was happy to see “this game sucks!” at the bottom, hehe
I love the little details! Very cool idea. It’ll be enthralling when it’s finished.
hahaha this made my day. my sister and i hated this game because our mom made us play basically every weekend when we were little.
omg that’s this is the best idea for a chestpiece i’ve ever seen. nicely done as well.
awesome! awesome! awesome! can’t wait to see it filled in.
so am i the only one that realizes she means life sucks we all play the game of life everyday and you know what this game sucks!!!!!!!!!! very cool tat love it
I love it
this is now officially my favorite chest piece.
I realised too Chris. We’re obviously the smartest people here :p
Thats gonna look lovely when its finished.
what’s the problem
stop play
oooh I love it! Especially the ‘this game sucks’ part.. (b/c really, the board game Life is purely luck… and it does suck.. albeit v. entertaining…)
Chris, I don’t understand who WOULDN’T get that. Hah
woo! life sucks.
oohhh the irony!
No chris, I’m pretty sure we all got that. We just thought it was so obvious that it didn’t need to be said…
Nice work. I want to see it finished.
best chest piece I’ve seen so far.
I love it!
that’s really amazing! The details are incredible, I can’t wait to see what it looks like when completed!
Neat! I’d be tempted to wait ’til it heals, and I’d leave it as is to marker/paint in however I wanted to. Sort of like being a living, breathing coloring book.
i think it looks horrible, but thats my opinion. i guess the actuall work is solid,.
thanks! i love it too!! there are better photos (detail ones) on my diary. the one here is a little flash burned. 😀
wow, that is amazing. i’m jealous i didn’t think of it first!
A little too negative for my tastes, but the drawing is wonderfully done.
lol well if yall all relized it yall didnt make it a point but to say you hate the board game
its a joke. . .its a long running joke for me with some friends that i dotn really get to see anymore, “this game sucks” was something that we said about anything that we got frustrated with and the like. its not meant to be negative, its a joke! the board game sucks, true, and at times life (actual life) sucks, everyone thinks so at some point. . . but its not a “hey i’m gonna go kill myself” thing. i love it. its funny to me, and i’m more than overjoyed to have it. i dont think of it as negative, tho i can see how it could be taken that way.
also, its by Chad Whitson, not chat, sorry to point out the typo shannon. 😀
speaking of typos, i had a few too. bad me.
Battle Creek! Sweet! And that’s a nice tattoo.
thats so cool:O
badass.
