  181. Dallas, i can assure you DJ Minor is a Damn fine Tattoo Artist, has been featured on Modblog before and has been a regular and loyal contributor of fantastic tattoo images to BME for as long as i can personally remember.

    I don’t get when people see tattoos that are outside the box in design, execution and quality that they automatically call photoshop! I dont get it is it cause to so many people a tattoo is supposed to be somthing you get when your drunk and heart broken in a bro’s kitchen in trade for the cooler full of PBR you happen to be sitting on while you get marked for life with something that will remind you of some terrible mistake you made? The hope is one day we will all learn from our mistakes and seek out artists of DJ’s caliber to mark us with another reminder of the mistake you made with the first tattoo you got and get something to cover it that looks like it was photoshoped or just plain amazing.

    Anyway Jordan, did you see that sunset tonight? it was sooo totally photoshoped!

  191. # Alana on April 30th, 2009 at 7:57 am: It reminds me of an illustration in Stephen Kings – Cycle of the Werewolf

    I’m pretty sure of this as well as I was a sucker for that book and illustrations back in the day…Totally did a book report on it, in 7th Grade and made my teacher hurl from the graphic nature of the book! HAHA!

    And also in reference to Phil’s post above…As much as I agree that this isn’t photoshopped (at least I hope its not)…It’s also interesting to point out, just how many tattoo artists tweak their pictures in photoshop before submitting them to BME, Inkednation,etc,etc,etc.

    Hell there’s artists called out daily on InkedNation for photoshopping their pics…Which is sad because most of the pics don’t need any touching up I think *shrugs*

    A good tattoo is a good tattoo, and this one is damn fine!
