Owella writes of her two “Bills” caricatures by Saint Kele Idol at Aerochild Tattoos in Birmingham, Alabama,
People are gonna ask why… Mostly because they make me laugh.
Bill Cosby is the reason I understand the concept of time: around age three or four, on a car trip, I asked how much longer until we arrived to our destination. My mother told me it would be 30 minutes. I had no idea how long 30 minutes was, or what it felt like, so I asked her how long 30 minutes was. She responded: “one Cosby Show”, as it’s the show I watched the most as a child. The memories surrounding Mr. Cosby are part of a long list. All in all, his face makes me smile.
Bill Murray… he ended up being my all-time celebrity crush. He makes me laugh, he’s totally cute, and again, I’ve got tons of memories that he’s a part of. It just seemed right. And yes, they are going to remain in line-drawing form. No shading. That would look a tad too serious, I think!
Check out her amazing owl skeleton tattoo as well (which is still healing in this picture)… Even if you’re not into the tattoo above, I’m sure you’ll like that one, done by the same tattooist, but based on art by Chris Buzelli.

I really like how there’s a faint outline of the body of the owl. Really neat effect. Very nice! And of course, I enjoy the “Bills”!!!

Yay transparent owl! Love it. Not too sure on the other ones, but I can say they’re done very well.

the two bills are an absolutely brilliant idea, their both funny and sentimental, an excellent grounds for a tattoo in my opinion,

I love the outline concept (got one myself). I think you’re right in that it emphasizes the idea of not taking it too seriously. Shit, don’t take anything too seriously.

I want to say I’ve seen a ripoff of the owl piece– it was on a livejournal post about tattoo stealing. I feel like the ripoff was blowing bubblegum or something, maybe?
Or maybe this one was the copy. Anybody know what I’m talking about?
