Evan sent in some photos of his sleeve that’s currently in progress. I figured after last weeks debacle I’d post a Star Wars tattoo that we can all get behind. This lovely battle scene is by Jim Warf of Rouge Elephant in Moreno Valley, California. Can’t wait to see it when it’s finished!

“I’m a programmer,” says Exciteableboy, he of the above knuckle tattoos, “it’s what I am.” Oh yeah? Well, I LOVE PIES, but you don’t see me bragging about it.
…Oh, who am I kidding? I brag about it all the time. Go forth, good sir.
Actually, let’s open it up to the floor: Favorite knuckle tattoos of all time, whether you’ve actually seen them or just had wonderful dreams about them. Let’s hear ‘em in the comments.

You know, I think this sends a good message: Even if you’re a murderous Sith Lord, you still deserve to be remembered and memorialized at your best. This one was tattooed on Matt by Kannonball at F/X Tattoos in Ashtabula, Ohio. They got his good side, no?

On a scale of one to 10, this tattoo of the AutoCAD dimensioning toolbar is one hell of a nerdy (and awesome) tattoo. “As you can tell,” says the wearer, “I really love drafting.” We could tell.

Hey, that’s a pretty good self-portrait, HEHNGHH? Oh wait, never mind, Tomasz fills us in:
The Shrike is designed by Artur Szolc, on the basis of excerpts from the book Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons. It’s not based on any other drawings of the creature, and it’s supposed to be as accurate as possible. The head is only the first part of the tattoo. The upper body of the Shrike will cover my whole arm, and Shrike’s four arms will encircle my arm and go all the way up to the shoulder and down the elbow. Its blades shall seem to pierce the skin. Possibly, a thorn-tree background will be added as well to complete a half-sleeve.
Thanks, Tomasz! A closer shot of the tattoo, after the jump.
