So, i’ll confess that, upon seeing this tattoo, my initial reaction was something along the lines of, “Well, that’s … literal.” And then I noticed “xkcd” in the image information, and realized … I’m just a jackass. Context, after the jump.
(Tattoo by “The dude that lives in Thailand” at Wild Tattoo, somewhere in Sweden.)

This freshly done flaming wing (phoenix-esque?) cutting comes to us from Azl at Tatooutouage in Montreal, Quebec. Let’s hope this gentleman gets the other side done, otherwise he’s just going to fly in circles, and nobody wants that.

Good afternoon, ModBloggers! Here we’ve got Seth, hanging out in his sanctuary, as he calls it, for mysterious reasons that no man will ever know.
After the jump, a shot of Seth with Annie. Both photos by Lou Caltabiano.

Here’s another lovely (and thought-provoking) video courtesy of Shawn (more).. Read on Macduff!
“I dug this footage up when I was preparing a class I was preparing to teach on behalf of the APP; it features Sailor Sid Diller interviewing “Tattoo Sammy” from Frankfort, West Germany.”

“Sammy appeared in P.F.I.Q. #18 (1983) and #19 as the magazine’s first documented tongue piercing. This clip has audio and video glitches (that Roo was kind enough to clean up to the best of his ability) present in the original VHS; that’s why these are so important to share. Once the original masters degrade – this stuff could be lost forever. I hope you guys are enjoying these glimpses into our not so distant past!
Enjoy! – Shawn”
