I remember a few years ago a scientific study was released that showed that when Israeli (and presumably Jewish) men got tattoos, they experienced localized breakdown of muscle tissue (this is actually true). These results were never replicated outside of Israel, so my theory is that it was psychosomatic in nature because of the strong stigma against tattoos… But when I saw the next tattoo (believed to be an allergic reaction), I’m beginning to think that maybe God does have a problem with his chosen people getting inked.

Sorry Christians, you guys are just too willing to bend and too sloppy about your faith to be able to crack a good tattoo joke about you. As always, the Jews win the comedy battle.

Written with sincere condolences to hte person going through hell with this reaction!

I can’t tell you exactly what xDYINGxTOxLIVEx‘s handgun tattoos mean (done by him, not on him). Now, a reasonable person would tell you that they are mostly just are supposed to look hot when you’ve got a bit of skin showing…

…but an unreasonable person such as myself will tell you that the actual meaning of this tattoo is “Note to self: if I fart again in public, I’m gonna shoot myself in the ass… at least twice per fart.”

Check out this in-progress sleeve by Jackie Brown at No Ka Oi Tiki Tattoo in Philadelphia. It’s art from the early poster designer Leonetto Cappiello (in this case, Cognac Monnet and Parapluie-Revel).

Well, pre-written history anyway. I quite like this cave painting tattoo done by Pau.

I’m totally into this blackwork gun tattoo by Aza (using one of his custom-built “silenced” tattoo machines) at Dragon FX in Edmonton, Alberta. The tattoo is on the very cool modified Christian Andyroo… Oh, and it’s a cover up too. Anyway, great tattoo!

Have a good weekend everyone, I’m out of here until Tuesday.
