So all of 10 people will get that headline, but that’s alright because all you really need to know is that Charles Bronson was the essence of all that is man.
This “No Regrets” tattoo featuring the one and only Charles Bronson was done by none other than Jackie Rabbit out of Star City Tattoo in Roanoke, VA.

Given the size of this little portrait, I’d guess that Mario Sanchez used a single needle for this one. He’s got quite a few micro portraits in his BME gallery, including a number of ones done on knuckles.

I was digging through quotes from “Batman & Robin” and I came to the realization that Arnie got all the best lines. It’s alright though, because Uma Thurman ended up getting this portrait tattoo done of her instead.

I swear, the first person that complains that this isn’t a damn near perfect copy of Johnny Depp’s face is getting left alone in Las Vegas, completely twisted on drugs, no cash, no story for the magazine, and on top of everything else, a gigantic god damned hotel bill to deal with.
Matt Kramer from Mind’s Eye Tattoo in Emmaus, PA is responsible for this brilliant Fear and Loathing tattoo.

Thanks to Twigboy, the number of Blazing Saddles tattoos in the world has gone up by one. Today is a good day to work up a number six.

I was hoping to save that headline for a picture of a helicopter tattoo, but I suppose a Predator tattoo will work just as well.
We’ve seen portraits by Zoran a couple of times before. Most notably his Che and Joker portraits.
While this doesn’t seem to be taken from a still in any of the films, it does resemble the mask from some of the comic books. As you’ve probably already guessed, this particular portrait came from the sci-fi tattoo gallery.

Today we’re going to be taking a look at the works of Michael Kozlenko, one of the many talented artists from Kipod Tattoo and Piercing in Tel Aviv. We’ve featured works from Michael before, as well as other artists from Kipod. Over the course of today you’ll be able to see a small preview of some of the many works that can be found in the Kipod Tattoo Portfolio.
The next tattoo(s) we’re going to take a look at are a pair of matching thigh pieces that depict the famous scene from Le Voyage dans la lune, the 1908 sci-fi film directed by Georges Méliès.
Even if you’ve never seen the film, the image of the rocket in the eye of the moon is such an iconic shot that many people recognize it without knowledge of the film. You’ll notice that even though the images are similar, Michael made each tattoo unique for the individual owner.

While I was only 4 when Poltergeist came out, I do remember seeing it on video when I was young, and I remember being terrified of trees and clowns for a long time afterwards. To this day it still holds up as one of the best horror films of all time. The iconic image of Carol-Anne holding her hands up to the screen has become cemented in the cultural zeitgeist. Which is why this simple monochromatic calf tattoo is so familiar.
Thanks to jshtate for sending this in to the tattoo galleries.

Only this one is made of lego.
These incredible feet belong to none other than Krista. These Lego Star Wars tattoos aren’t the only nerdy tattoos she has, so hopefully she’ll continue to send in photos.

Those of us that were born in the 80s (or earlier) may remember a movie called “Little Monsters“. Fred Savage plays the hero kid, and Howie Mandel plays the comic relief “good guy” monster Maurice. If you get a chance, go check it out. But first, take a look at this Maurice tattoo done by Josh Downing from Drunken Monkey in Saginaw, MI.
