A little while back I posted a “tea time” themed tattoo and people said that it looked like clip art (to which the wearer replied, “that’s because it is clip art, duh!”, or something like that)… Anyway, I thought on that meme I would also post Alexandra’s teapot chestpiece, done by Joe Stamp at Trilogy in Memphis, TN… Another tattoo that just gets cooler the older you get, and peaks in your seventies!
BME/News and Modblog highlight only a small fraction of what
Actually, Joe Stamp has left Trilogy and has started his own tattoo shop, No Regrets. There’s a lot of really fantastic work coming out of that shop.
Cheaterpants! I’ve been planning a teaset-themed chestpiece for quite some time now…
I’m still going to get it, however… and perhaps we should start a club. We can have tea parties and play musical chairs, and other sorts of appropriate nonsense.
oh i love this!! its so pretty
ehhhhhh not a fan. but it’s well done.
oh HELL yea! i love that its overall shape does not spread like that of a usual chestpiece.
gotta admit, its pretty original…
never have gone up to someone and been like “damn i LOVE that teapot”… i think she looks great with it
Thats realy pretty i love it
its so pretty!!!
Really pretty and original :).
am i the only one who was hoping for a click through?
really like the tattoo. love the colours and the design. and tea of course. gotta love tea
delft blue for the teapot was a great idea. makes for a very classy tattoo
Am I the only one who’s going crazy because the teapot is tilting backwards yet tea is pouring out?
It is really pretty though. 🙂
coooooooooooooooool

hahah no i tried clicking too
Aww that’s lovely. I bet her nana approves too!
i have a teacup tattoo on my arm. tea lady club ftw!
Nana core! never even thought about that….lovn it, very cool.
That’s proper ace. Reminds me of disney movies, dancing crockery and whatnot.
i think that is really cute! tea time =)
SO GOOD!

Agreed, that was the first thing I noticed.
I’d definitely like to see it up close, and more clearly. It’s such a cute idea..!
the sugar cubes are a nice touch!
How cute! It really suits her and I like the design on the teapot.
#11 So true! I’d love to see the detail of the Delftware.
I always enjoy looking at tea related tattoos. It makes me feel at home. mmmmmm. warm goodness.
I really like this… very cute and you gotta love a cup’o tea!
Beautifully done, and I love the subject. Tea is awesome, and I love the delft china pattern.
And hey, certainly doesn’t hurt that the girl is gorgeous too…
OOOoooh that blue really brings out her gorgeous eyes.
i adore this piece
i don’t even like tea, but i like this tattoo a lot! i was just wondering if she was planning on shading the cups to match the teapot? either way, it’s a great chestpiece…and her eyes are very striking
I am planning a tea themed tattoo for my first. This is so beautiful. Chestpieces aren’t for me, but I think they’re gorgeous and this is so well done.
fucking awesome!!!!! beautiful girl too
wow. that looks amazing. so put together flawless creation. cheers.
100% beautiful work.
That is quite possibly the cutest tattoo ever. =) I love it. And now I want some tea.
I love this, i jsut don’t like the fact that you have it as a chestpeice.
yes, very true. like most things in life, medium-sized chest pieces of teapots really go down hill after your 70′s. i mean i can just picture sitting there in the nursing home at 83 with all the whipper-snapper 70-year-olds heckling you, “nice medium-sized chest piece of a teapot, grandma, what do you think you are, like 70?” old people can be so cruel…
Actually Joe Stamp is a shitbag that slept with my wife while I was in Iraq. Quality people there.
