I think this “zipperback” tattoo is a neat idea (my only nitpick is that I don’t think the spinal anatomy is quite right) — it was done by Ron Stoolfire at Munkehed Tatu in Newark, Ohio. Design-wise it could be continued down the arms I suppose and flow into another piece quite nicely on a design sense…

The spinal anatomy is definitely off, if it was more accurate I think I’d dig it more… cool idea though.

when i was going in for spinal surgery my mother took one of those washable fabric pens and drew a dotted line down my back with little scissors at the top, and wrote “cut here”. my whole family (including myself) tried to have a positive and humorous approach to my surgery… this tattoo reminds me of that, for some reason. not that the tattoo is humorous, but that it takes me back to 4 in the morning the day of my operation. even if the anatomy is wrong, it’s still a neat concept – the zipper looks fabulous.
