Textual Addiction

I must admit (as is probably obvious) I’ve been storing these text tattoos up for quite some time, and thought now would be as good a time as any to unleash them upon you!

“I never wanted to be different” BMEzine slogan (1, 2, 3) on Ana by Ricardo at Medtattoos, Ermesinde, Portugal.

Farewell tattoo on Seth by Sean at Slingin’ Ink, Oskaloosa, IA.

Occam’s Razor palm tattoo on DistortedSmiles (self-done) in Queens, New York.

Passion for Basketball by Sam of Sam and Liz Tattoos, Rosemead, CA.

Whore Island and “Amelican” tattoos by Frank-N-Berry, Starborn Tattoos, Las Vegas.

Last but not least the ASCII rose and Roman numeral (7) by Josh, Outworld Tattoo, Saint John, NB.

More tomorrow!

And the peculiar thing is this my friends:

I got this one as a tribute to all the people who get flash Kanji and really don’t know if it says what they think it should (note the question marks).

We had a Japanese kid getting tattooed and I had him draw it up. He said it would look cooler in Chinese so we went with that..”

It literally means “Don’t know”.

By Ed Weston, Chaos Ephex (again!), Lapeer, MI.

If you take the “U” out it’s still “BM”. Erm, wait..

I don’t have any other information on this other than bena “met this guy at a party and it’s supposed to say squeeze me.”

It took me three attempts to spell the name of the JPEG file wrong.

I haven’t forgotten what I said the other day, but typos are a little different, and I’m sure once the wearer realises (especially in such an intimate location) they’ll be chuckling along too.
