What makes them tick?

I can make a good guess as to what the video game portrait tattoo says about the bearer (tattoo by Darwin Enriquez at Mithostattoo in Caracas, Venezuela), and I can make a very good guess as to the interests of the bearer of the drumsticks tattoo as well (by Oreoner).

But I wouldn’t have guessed the meaning of this marshmallow tattoo by Javier at House of Pain in Santa Clara, CA… the bearer tells me, “I’m comfortable like a marshmallow.”

Frank Zappa Tattoo

By Tony Browning at State of the Art Tattooing in Winchester, VA on Dr.Scorpio (he’s got a few more tattoos I’ve been meaning to feature; check his page for them).

“Fact of the matter is, there is no hip world, there is no straight world. There’s a world, you see, which has people in it who believe in a variety of different things. Everybody believes in something and everybody, by virtue of the fact that they believe in something, use that something to support their own existence.”

Frank Zappa
