Looks like someone had some bad seafood salad at lunch! (Wah-wahhhhh. Also, did I really make a Liar, Liar reference in the title? Terrible.)

Yeah, when I first saw that I said to myself, “Maryland.”
Also, it’s probably better to have a Liar Liar reference than a bad “He’s got crabs” pun.
Way to take the high road on that one, dude.
love the scratchy shading
I’m interested to see how this one heals up.
The texturing is awesome!
rock lobsta!
…How did he swallow that? D:
Reminds me of an outstanding Schoolyard Heroes song 🙂

@8 – peaches? and a latern?
Craaaaaaab people! Craaaaab people! ^^
On a more serious note: really nice work!
Considering the scar under the navel, which looks like post-surgical one, the claws you can see might not be intended as the ones of a lobster, but of a cancer.
that kinda….freaks me out….
Mmm symmetry! 🙂
True story:
When I got my first tattoo, Liar Liar was on the tv in the studio.
cooooool! i really like this haha made me smile 🙂 and the tummy tattoo is pretty swell as well.
I duinno… I kind of want to marry you for the Liar Liar reference.
I make one at least once a day, and no one ever understands.
hammerhead: thats a line made by a sharpie haha
@ #1: Me too.
Haha, amazing.
I especially love the cross-hatching. :]
LMAO @ #5 kujoton for the Family Guy reference, and @ #12 Valencinho for the South Park reference.
Do I watch too much adult cartoons? I think so, yes.
This is absolutely a fabulous piece of work.
I just love the shading, you don’t see that often in scarification.
Symmetry is nice too. 8)
I hope you’ll post updates on the healing of this work in future, Jordan.
