Howie (see the interview which includes some commentary on his ideas about tattooing) suggest that this tattoo he did would be best filed in the “super awful awesome tatty section”. Postmodern tattooing perhaps?

I certainly wouldn’t wear a tattoo like that on MY skin, it looks like a scratcher has been let loose, not nice at all.

Haha I actually love this! I have a tattoo by howie that I got last year and it is probably one of the stupidest and best tattoos I have. (Its a broken heart cloud raining (with “lightin”) into a pink tea cup with a little girl drowning in it… and the phrase “yes it does not hurt” tattooed above – i personally think it sums me up! haha

i think it’s excellent to have whimsical tattoos as a complement to a lot of the very Serious tattooing and body mods and rituals that are showcased on modblog. while it certainly has a childish affect, it’s still really effective. would i want this tattoo? no way. but it is a lovely thing to see, to recognize that tattooing, as a medium, can have many different tones and registers.
