One final portrait to round out today. This one is a “self portrait“. By that I mean it isn’t a portrait of the artist, but rather the person the tattoo is on.
According to Hjorten, the photo this tattoo was based off was taken in 2006, and the tattoo was done in 2008 by John Green from Pärleporten in Uppsala, Sweden.

p.s. Sorry if the headline got your hopes up for a puppet related post.

A tragic figure in both literature in film, Frankenstein’s monster has been adapted into pretty much every medium known to man. This isn’t the first tattoo of the monster we’ve seen on ModBlog and it probably won’t be the last. Jay Wheeler’s portrait of Karloff in his make-up really captures both sides to the monster, his intelligent and peaceful demeanor, and his capacity for intense emotion borne from the abuses he suffers at the hands of those who fear him.
