Ok, I must admit I have no idea what twylasue (Googling it just confused me more) means but the following photos are of him and I thought that as they have a definite Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas feel to them, I’d come up with something suitably random.
“There he goes. One of God’s own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.”

IAM: Bikuki‘s finally finished her camera tattoo!
Edit:
“I got my camera for two reasons – The most simple and easy to explain is that I love photography.
The second is more complicated and personal, and has a lot to do with my grampa. My mum, dad and gran all worked full time when I was in primary school, so every day my grampa would take me home to his for lunch and again after school. I was so close to him – he practically raised me from the age of four through to eight years old. He was an incredibly artsy person who taught me to draw and took me to his photography club when I was a kid, he also gave me my first SLR camera.
In January of this year he had a stroke, and although he’s recovering it gave me the fright of my life and I suddenly became very aware of his mortality (although I used to have nightmares as a kid about him dying, and it was always my biggest fear). I wanted to have a part of him inked on me forever so I knew he’d never leave me – and a camera was perfect.
He’s such a cool old man, and was the only member of my family who actually seemed interested rather than disgusted by my existing tattoos, too, which always makes me smile.
I’ll never forget him.”

Oh my! When I spotted this tattoo on IAM: Holly Golightly my brain almost exploded and I had to post it immediately. Read on to learn more (plus some hot Babel fish action)..
The character above is Adam Bomb (although my favourite was Sumo Sid), one of the Garbage Pail Kids. I used to collect all the magazines and trading cards when I was younger and it really does bring back memories!
Both tattoos by Meme, Taggurs Tattoo, Yuma, AZ.
