Recognize the Image?

Posted on April 24, 2008 by Shannon Larratt

John Deweese, who tattoos at Great American Tattoo Company (Shelbyville, Indiana) found the “Faux Pas” entry here on ModBlog and thought it was a beautiful image (I agree!), so he had his boss Joshua Carlton tattoo it on him.

Joshua Carlton is an incredible tattoo artist, the guy who owns the shop I go to for piercings has a few tattoos by him, they look just as good in person as they do on film.

Which photo is this referencing? I feel like a dummy, but I have no idea. It is a fucking amazingly well-done tattoo, though.
