The good folks at Murda Ink Tattoos in Jamaica, New York, just sent in a nice series of a client getting tattooed with a portrait of a certain President-elect — bet you’ll never guess who!
Check out the finished piece, after the jump.
I think the simple black-work works well here, and it’s definitely an improvement over this piece, which, while technically proficient, looks quite a bit more like David Allen Grier than the President-to-be. My prediction: There will be many more of these tattoos coming in very soon. Yes, I am provocative!

I wonder how many people are getting Bush tattoos covered up with Obama ones?

Oh yes Jamaica representtt !!! What a random place lol especially for modblog. cool to see that where i live is on here.

Eh, I think this is might be a bad idea.
What if he turns out to be a horrible president?
But he’s the first black president so it makes sense.
I personally don’t really care for portrait tattoos.
They always look a little off to me.
This one’s nice though; it looks good.
I’d like to see someone with a stencil type obama tattoo.
That’d be awesome.
😀

Ok i understand the fact the a black person became president of the united states for the first time in history , and how it affects the afro-americans. But why the hell could someone get a tattoo with Obama when he doesn’t even know what he is going to do now that he is elected. I rly think that this is a ridiculous action .. he be a more dramatic world-killer than bush noone knows.

That was certainly a forward thinking, positive comment.
Looks sharp, I don’t think it’s a bad idea necessarily. Good or bad in office, he’s already made a change- the social consciousness of this country’s different already. People feel a bit less like they have no say in their country, and that’s good.

Things arent going to change. Educate yourselves on the New World Order.

yep…Jace Masula is doing one at our shop right now…I’m sure we’ll do a few of them…the first good finished one I’ve seen was by Taylor Cort, on a white guy. Why would anyone say that only prloud black Americans would get a portrait if Obama?…

is it just me or if youre really wanting an obama tattoo it just might be a good idea to wait until the end of his term to see what good he actually does for our country?

He may be a stranger, but he is also one of the most powerful men in the world now (well, in January). The president has the final say on any bills that congress wants passed, so he pretty much affects everything in your life. And he’s made history. I’d rather see an Obama tattoo then one of, say, Britney Spears.
That said, I also am not a fan of portraits.

Decent execution, but this is horrifying.

Wow. Way to live inside the stereotype. The dude’s wearing a ‘bling’ crucifix. I wonder if he drinks 40s and smokes blunts while listening to Three Six Mafia? hahaha

candice unless you own like 8 houses and a bunch of stock i can’t see why anyone would like mccain better. he was senile and flipflopped on every issue numerous times and picked one of the dumbest females in the country as his running mate on the assumption that any female would grab the hillary voters. i can’t see anyone with half a brain voting for that douche. god i hope you own a lot of real estate and stock 😉
