These two are by Danielle DeMuro at Magnum Tattoo in St. Augustine, FL.
For other examples of matching tattoos featured here, check out classy broads, father and daughter, Serbian brothers, newlyweds, and of course gay skinheads tattooed with each other’s blood.

Since they’re always a hit, let me share a few more pictures from our growing archive of geek and nerd tattoos. Check out these two (both on the same person) of a Resident Evil Umbrella Corporation logo, as well as the start of an Amityville Horror chest piece. Both tattoos are by Jay Chapman at Hallowed Ground Body Art Studio in Portland, Maine.
And now for something a little more traditional, a Linux Tux with some binary:
Note that the binary is fresh in this picture and you can see a donut of swelling (or the person has bizarro musculature, ha).

I definitely don’t have a problem with straight edge tattoos in general, but I have to admit that the message of Keith’s “bring back prohibition” tattoo (by Alex Franklin at Brooklyn Ink in NYC) kind of rubs me the wrong way.
I’m all for people taking control over their own lives and choosing this path if it feels right to them, but I think it’s a mistake when you actually call for this lifestyle to be imposed on other people by force of law — I’m not comfortable with a government telling me what I can and can not do to my body.

A little while back I posted Selena’s patchwork heart with sparrows tattoo. I wanted to share another one here that I quite liked (and no, it’s not just because I’m a total sucker for tattoos in this location on pretty girls), by Keith at Red Lantern, in San Diego, CA. Each of the different patches represents a different influence — or heartbreak — in her life.

all theories
like clichés
shot to hell,
all these small faces
looking up
beautiful and believing;
I wish to weep
but sorrow is
stupid.
I wish to believe
but belief is a
graveyard.
we have narrowed it down to
the butcherknife and the
mockingbird.
wish us
luck.
