I’m now completely convinced that the artists at Tattoo Temple in Hong Kong are some kind of magical beings. They don’t use tattoo needles, they use magic to capture the essence of their subject and infuse it into the skin of their clients. Check out this bird that Wang did for his client Annie.

In Chapter 4 of The Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen, the Baron, while pondering the image of St. Hubert’s Stag after a hunt, he encounters a stag of his own. As it was the end of the day, the Baron found himself without any ammunition, so he loaded his musket with cherry pits and shot the deer in the head. It survived the shot and ran away. A year later, while hunting in the same woods, Baron Munchausen finds himself again face to face with a stag, only this one had a cherry tree growing out of its forehead. Of course this time he shot it dead, and supposedly the cherry sauce he served with the venison was the finest he’d ever tasted.
