Assorted Trivia
Written by
Looks like the power outage in Los Angeles may have temporarily knocked Needled offline, so I guess the pressure is on me to make sure you have something to look at. How about this puzzle-piece picture of a skin removal that the “owner” had framed… two pieces of art for the price of one!
That piece is on/off BigDaddyIsaac in Oregon.
Then there’s VeganJarret… he really, and I mean really likes Star Wars. It’s certainly not unusual for me to see Star Wars themed tattoos, but it is very unusual to actually see the movie titles tattooed (done by Kris Roberts at Electra Art Tattoos in Corpus Cristi, Texas).
Speaking of tattoos that are unusual in theme or nature, while I do see “I love (whoever)” type stuff all the time, it’s not so common to see the opposite, so I was kind of surprised to see this “I DON’T LIKE JENN” tattoo… Perhaps it’s a clever pop culture reference, but if it is, it’s going over my head.
That said, it’s no “I’M GONNA KILL YOU, RAY ROMANO“. That one wins hands down.

I like tattoos that make me laugh. On the left are Solanum‘s mexillant tattoos (signifying his profound love for burritos), done by Brett at PURE (NYC), and on the right is John’s tattoo done at Delicious Ink in Rockford, IL — he would like everyone to know that he is “very afraid of spiders”. Maybe that’s not really funny in and of itself, but that someone would be so petrified that they’d put a WARNING: NO SPIDERS logo on their arm cracks me up.

“thereisreason” (done in medium condensed Helvetica Neue)
Done at Edodus Tattoo in East Windsor, CT
At the end of senior year highschool I fell in love with a girl who wasdating a friend. He was very abusive physically and mentally, and I kindof took care of her and ended up dating her, only to find she wasunmedicated bipolar… lots of crazy stuff happened and it ended with herbeing forced by her parents to put a restraining order on me and my senioryear and summer went to hell as a result.
I then went to college as a design student taking alot of fine arts courses, over four hundredmiles away from home to get away. A lot of my work has reflected my past andresulted in kind of a refusal of typical design… From that I fell inlove with a girl in my freshman year in college and have dated for three years. I came to the conclusion that eveything which hadhappened had a reason, and no matter what happened it happened for areason — it became my design motto— everything I’ve done has had a reason even though it may not havebeen apparent at the time.
Everything I’ve done since hascome of this, and it’s pushed me to change and better my life — my motto has become thereisreason —and my website is thereisreason.com.

“My best friend and I at my wedding”When we had it written for us, we thought it said “friendship is everlasting”, but when we asked Dita, she told us it says “friendship is good”… It still gets the meaning across, and this is one of my favorite pictures.
