I must admit the first time I saw this tattoo (by Stephanie, Electric Chair Tattoo, Houston, Texas) I immediately thought of this brilliant song by Flight of the Conchords..
Do you have mermaid parties beneath the sea? Am I invited?
See more in “Fantasy Tattoos“ (Tattoos)
BME/News and Modblog highlight only a small fraction of what
creative tattoo… unfortunately all i can see is that the bottom of the mermaid’s torso looks like it’s blobby and fatty and curdled >p negative (or positive?) space playing with my perception i guess
the whole thing is kinda too much for me, but it is creative, so i like it! the nipple tattoo (the sun) is great!
LOVE flight of the conchords. not so crazy about this tattoo. i guess it’s good because it’s not easy getting so much detail at this level.. but it just seems to me like something that is going to blend in a not so pretty way eventually… thinking of the future is important.
It actually makes me thing of a different song called the mermaid
“Twas Friday morn when we set sail
And we were not far from the land
When our captain, he spied a fishy mermaid
With a comb and a glass in her hand”
or maybe I’ve been to one to many Renn Faires
the rest of the lyrics are here:

makes me “think” not “thing” sorry for the typo
wow, i really like the nipple sun!
I know the modblog signature is part of the game, but i would prefer have it out of the picture sometimes.

Kudos for creativity. 🙂

Hahaha, the name of the picture made me chuckle.
“Mermaids murmur into my nipple” Hahaha. Good one 🙂
Yay Flight Of The Conchords.
“It’s business time”
do they smoke seaweed? (if so then how do they light it?)

the nipple piercing is such a lovely touch!
Adorable!
“MERMAN!!!… MERMAN!!!” – zoolander
I quite like this overall, although it bugs a a little that her head doesn’t continue far back enough.
Oooh oooh, Electric Chair Tattoo! I know where that place is! That’s where I got my first piercings. Man, that was a long time ago.
this is really neat!
i actually didn’t even notice the nipple piercing at first…
too busy thinking “ooh. pretty mermaid.”
and re-planning my own future mermaid tat.
when i noticed, i actually went through this face combination:

This is fantastic. I’d like to see a shot from further back though, to see how it looks on this person. Love the blend of tattoo, piercing, and body 🙂

very olde-skool, not very original.
