And here we have yet another submission from Mark Gibson of Monki Do Studio in Belper, Derbyshire, England, who has been on one hell of a roll lately. Does anybody know what the source material for this is, if any exists? I’ve been looking into it, but apparently the FBI doesn’t appreciate it when you repeatedly search Google for “nailed kid.” Who knew?

This is one hell of an awesome tattoo!
I believe its a tim burton drawing?
I recognize the text under it. It’s from Donnie Darko!
Can’t say I know where the nailed kid is from.
madhatter – it does look like a tim burton drawing, the moniker “nailed kid” also sounds like something he would use.
maybe there is no source.. it is the wearers original… it is lovely though…
I really like the Donnie Darko writing.
tis kinda cute!!
i love it :)
I’m pretty sure it’s from Tim Burton’s book The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories.
thats what i thought at first, but its not in there.
Nah, that’s the Boy with Nails in His Eyes..
Its my tattoo and its from picto plasma book
It’s adorable!!
but apparently the FBI doesn’t appreciate it when you repeatedly search Google for “nailed kid.” Who knew?
how so? did they not let you search anymore?
also, it looks like a possible outcome from slave labor graphics?
Hah! That thing is so cute… plus I love the Donnie Darko tattoo underneath
is the donnie darko quote a tattoo or a cut?
rusty spoons?
