30 Days to an Almost End - Day 06

Whatever tickles your fancy- tattoos
     I love when tattoos look like paintings on canvas. Vincent Castiglia’s work on Nick Kusher—owner and operator of the Nachtkabarett and Babalon, the official Marilyn Manson forums—displays this attribute better than any work I have ever seen.



     My best friend Dave has a ton of tattoos. I’m fairly certain he has at least one hundred stars spread about his body by now, if not more. He’s become a collage of sorts, and the greatest part about it is that no matter how silly one or two tattoos might seem on the surface, they all make up who he is. It’s fascinating to me when someone can pull this off.



    I’m not sure who this is, but I’ve wanted a piece very similar to this on my own back for years. I have some ideas to make it my “own” and not a typical spine/ribcage copy, but nothing is 100% as of yet.

 


    Another favorite tattoo of mine is on Marilyn Manson. It is the Tursaansydän tattoo with a swastika incorporated in its center on his left inner bicep. I would love to get one done someday.

If you haven't been to a tattoo convention yet, I highly recommend it. The quality of artwork varies dramatically. The tattoo conventions in Vegas have the best artists from around the country and you can get your tattoo while there (sometimes advanced appointments are required).

Just like plastic surgery, never price shop a tat. It's there for life. Find the best person and wait until you can afford it. :)

It's a good thing Florida doesn't have a shortage of tattooed boys. ;)
