Clockwise from top left we have..
David Hasselhoff by Matt Gardiner of Tattoo U ’2′, Cardiff, Wales.
Pee-Wee Herman by Christina Sparrow, Sacred Heart Studio, Houston, TX.
Continuing in a clockwise motion we find a wonderful portrait of George Romero by Bobby and last but not least another Pee-Wee Herman Tattoo, this time the work of Tom Oulette, Kustom Kulture Tattoos, Michigan.

BME/News and Modblog highlight only a small fraction of what
get outta bed, there’ll be no more nappin! wake up!
cause you’ve landed in a place where anything can happen!
that tattoo would be much better if it was of pee wee whacking out some knuckle children in a porno cinema
the hoff’s lookin mighty fine.
is it just me or do 90% of the portraits that end up on modblog look like complete shit
It’s just you mikenite…just you
I think it’s fair to say that most of the tattoo work posted to ModBlog is not the best quality and isn’t going to win any awards at a tattoo convention. It seems to me like it’s posted because it’s amusing, unique, cute, or on a community member, not because it’s a shining example of great tattooing by a great artist. People come here to see something interesting, not to see the best tattoos in the world.
how can anyone consider any of these tattoos “complete shit?” I mean, yeah some of the tattoos aren’t the best, but those are not often posted for being of great quality but rather some other reason. As far as portraits go, I think all four of these are very well done.
a portrait tattoo with crooked eyes?
Hahaha those are terrifying! Portrait tattoos give me the heebie jeebies
I’d have to agree with Vomit on this one…. unless they are exceptional (like ‘best in the world’ that you probly wouldn’t see here) and look very real, portraits creep me out. Worst of all are babies and children.
isaweasel: most people’s eyes are slightly crooked anyway
I agree with 9. Vomit
Im sure theyre lovely tattoos, but I can never get past the though that the eyes are following me when it comes to potrait tatts!
Is Pee Wee holding snakes? (Like when he rescued the animals from the burning petshop in PeeWees Big Adventure.) Or is he holding…something else?
Christina Sparrow!
If you live in Houston like I do, go and give her all your money.
She is amazing and amazingly nice.
:]
And she does some BAD ASS work!
my bf has an arnold schwarzenegger tattoo. the best part is it was from a politician picture of him, collared shirt and all….so funny. but he has a red eye.
I totally thought the David Hasslehoff one was a very weird looking Han Solo at first.
Not a big fan of portraits, but the Hoff came out fairly decent 🙂
The first Peewee one scares me 🙁
“People come here to see something interesting, not to see the best tattoos in the world.”
I never understand this mentality. It’s 2008, why settle for second rate shit when there’s so much great talent out there?
You can get something interesting, AND have it applied in an expert manner.
If these tattoos were done at my shop, the artist would be packing his shit up & job hunting.
thank you i rest my case
