I really like iam:minneapolis‘s figure-8 tattoo! This picture (which I think I pushed the levels on too far, sorry — check his page for a picture that also includes spandex) was taken after the second session by Cerny at Steady Tattoo in Minneapolis, MN.
this is fucking *gorgeous*
Absolutely stunning *runs off to look at spandex*
COOOOOOOL.
Wicked awesome.
I too will now go check out the spandex…
Very nice!
How is it an eight?
I’m inlove.
Oh, nice!
I’m assuming this is an Elliott Smith tribute – it’s the wall from Sunset Boulevard where the cover of his Figure 8 album was taken. I love it – I’ve always wanted one like this.
It’s an image taken from the cd Figure 8 by Elliott Smith

That’s a beauty. The lines fit the curves of his shoulder wonderfully.
Yowza, this is so beautiful and such an original tribute.
it’s not a figure 8 like the number, it’s from the cover of elliott smith’s album figure 8. maybe that should be clarified. :]
what a beautiful tribute
Minnesota represent.
I was thinking “figure…. 8? wha?”

For those who also had to look it up to understand.
I love the positioning, it looks REALLY organic to my eyes. I think the way it goes across the top of his arm-pit.
Great shit.
Oh wow. Being a hardcore Elliott fan (OMG paradox?!??) this tattoo actually made me gasp. Just… woah
*Impressed*
A lovely tribute to a great artist

Too bad he’s gone.
