Nail, from Nail’s Tattoo in Budapest, Hungary, nailed this Mongolian girl tattoo. The realism in the portrait works brilliantly with the abstract red and black that surrounds the image.

Oh, my. Oh, Mimi.
Why would anyone ever get a portrait of the character Mimi Bobeck from the Drew Carey show? Dare I guess that perhaps it is simply because it makes them laugh and laughter truly is the best medicine.

Dan works at Arthur T Sharpes in Newcastle Upon Tyne.

I’m not sure the owner of Dale here was thinking of Shakespeare when they named him, but they definitely went to an artist when it was time to get a portrait of him tattooed.
And in case the watermark didn’t give it away, the artist they went to was Jackie Rabbit from Star City Tattoo in Roanoke, VA
Bright Eye
I just.. wow..

Portrait in blue
Here’s a little something for the abstract lovers out there via IAM: Balthazar. This piece comes from Copenhagen InkFest and was done by Jacob Pederson from Crooked Moon.

I know that it probably isn’t everyone’s favorite disco mutant, but with the colouring and circles it’s the first thing that came to mind. This piece was done by Victor Policheri, based off artwork by Lani Imre, at the 2011 Oslo Tattoo Convention, and it won best tattoo of the day (Saturday).
I Mustache You a Question

“And then she showed me the back room where she took all of her clothes off. “
The first time is always so magical, like when Johnny Depp and Tim Burton teamed up for the first time with Edward Scissorhands. It was the film that took Johnny from being a teen heartthrob, to the quirky actor we know today.
