I’m sure we’ve seen this tattoo on someone else before, but looking around I couldn’t find it. The design in “Flowers in the Attic” by Jason Byron Nelson (not Banksy) and the tattoo was done by Nick Agnew from Kingsland Ink.

Jason Byron Nelson’s “Flowers in the Attic” has butterflies, not bats
Want them socks.
absolutely love it.
We have. On the side of the torso on some guy, with the bats spreading outwards onto his upper arm.
Pretty sure I save a copy of it, but can’t find it.
Rodger is right.. and it was butterflies on the other tattoo I mentioned too.
I’ve seen lots of images of this as a tattoo. Or did you mean just on ModBlog?
@Dagon: I meant on ModBlog.
@Rodger: I’m guessing that the owner of the tattoo wanted to change it so it wasn’t a perfect copy.
maybe s/he jsut really likes bats, judging from the other tattoo above it.
Um, has anyone thought of the fact that the picture above is a Steadman sketch from Hunter S. Thompson’s ‘Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas’? And one of the better known lines from that book is “We can’t stop here. This is bat country!” Thus, the bats are actually quite relevant thematically. C’mon people…
Loving the steadman above!
Pretty sure it’s one of Rob Dobi’s really old works.
