The Clash Tattoo
This tattoo is actually based on The Clash’s “Know your Rights” and was done by Dana at She-Devils in Shreveport, Louisiana. I can’t imagine though how much this is misinterpreted as a gun rights tattoo.
[Right] Number 1
You have the right not to be killed
Murder is a CRIME!
Unless it was done by a
Policeman or aristocrat
Know your rightsAnd Number 2
You have the right to food money
Providing of course you
Don’t mind a little
Investigation, humiliation
And if you cross your fingers
RehabilitationNumber 3
You have the right to free
Speech as long as you’re not
Dumb enough to actually try it.

Missing APP this year
Admittedly I’ve only hit APP twice (one EuroCon, and last year in Vegas), but sadly this year I had to choose between two things I needed to do, and to be honest, both involved many old friends, but one involved a whole lot more drinking than the other… As a guy with very little self control, I chose the non-drinking one. Wish I could be in two places at once! Thanks Barry for this quick shot of Pat McCarthy and Phish causing trouble clown-style.
I’m going to try posting some more tomorrow as well, but like I said before, officially I’m on “vacation” (to the extent that I’m ever on vacation) so please don’t get too irritated if I don’t post.
Bob Marley / Beach Bum Coverup
I’m a giant fan of the work that Johnny Thief at Seppuku Tattoo in Savannah GA… Definitely one of my favorite artists on BME. Anyway, click the original picture below to see how Johnny cleaned it up for the client (totally covered it up with a new tattoo that is):
CLICK ME!
New Hair, New Ink
You know, even though they’re an outrageously simple design, I think you can never go wrong with tattoos of cherry blossoms. These ones just got finished by Scot at the oh-so-creatively-named Body Art in Shakopee, MN.
