ReverendDecay has this “666″ tattoo spaced between his fingers, done by Umpa Lumpa at Crown Tattoo in Charlotte, NC. I think that balances out the scripture from earlier, right? Gotta take some good with your evil (note: deicide which one is good and which one is evil for yourself).

Judging by the expression on Christen‘s nephew’s face and his plethora of temporary tattoos, I think she’ll either be a really great influence or a really terrible influence, depending on what her family’s general attitude about tattoos is!

I figured I ought to wait until Sunday to post my new tattoo here since it’s scriptural in nature — my third scripture tattoo, which may surprise people, but even if you’re not Christian (I’m not), if you know the Bible well, scriptural references are an extremely efficient way of communicating). This is of course Matthew 5:30;
5:30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
The tattoo is on top of a large benign bone tumor that’s being removed this summer. The leg may or may not come off as well, but honestly, my attitude is pretty well summed up by Matthew 5:30. I’d rather have no leg than a gimpy leg or a leg that’s always in pain, and for whatever reason, reminding myself that this decision is ultimately inside my control helps me deal with the stress.
It’s brand-new-fresh in this photo and was done by the brilliant Chino who’s currently working here in Toronto at King of Fools. Best script artist in Toronto (not that that’s all he does!!!) in my opinion.

Skip Flotten’s right ear is a massive three and a half inches in size in this photo (and it’s now at 3 7/8″), but his little left ear is only at about an inch!
