I’m not tattooed. I probably should be since I have great love for ones that are well done…and really enjoy (at the expense of others) ones that are terribly done. That said, I’ve had a nightmare for years (this is TRUE) where I’ll wake up from a bender one afternoon (mornings are for the weak) with the Energizer Bunny tattooed to my chest. That has actually kept me away from the needle.

But, my love unabated, I came across a couple today I had to share Specifically from the much larger collection at http://abduzeedo.com/85-great-tattoos-tattoos-art-and-inspiration.

The first is the definition of a real fanboy:

Like it or not this is just damn fine stuff. I wouldn’t have the guts for this one…even on a soju kettle night in Seoul…but I have to give this cat props for having the nerve. I want to talk to him in about 50 years and see how it’s done for him though…that’s going to be a story.

Slightly less adventurous but no less stunning for it is the full sleeve of strip here:

The resolution on the picture isn’t quite good enough to tell the story…I assume there is one…but it is well done. I wonder what the other arm says?

Which reminds me of a man I know with a wooden leg named Smith…

Finally is this little bit of Superfriends schadenfreude:

I’m sure I should feel sorry for this fanboy, but I don’t…I admire the guts and the attempt…but if anyone ever woke up wishing for an red rubber eraser it was this gent, I’m sure of it.

It’s not making me rush out and get one tonight…but of course, there’s always the Energizer Bunny…

It’s official, i’m going. surprised me too, but several things came together at once to make it all possible, so off i go to the harbor to press flesh with the sequential writers, artists and geeks of the world. HEAR ME ROAR!

If you’re planning on being there, pop by booth 118 and say “HI!”…it’s not my booth, but the folks at “Fist of Justice” and “Warmageddeon” are such fine folks, you should say hi to them on principle. And, perhaps, I’ll be around the corner doing card trick or two. FUN!

Why aren’t you buying Ted Noodleman, Bicycle Delivery Boy by yours truly and the incomperable Ryan Ottley? Probably because you’ve never heard of it. But I’m here to tell ya yer really missing out. of course, I might be a wee bit biased…but that’s ok, I’m allowed.
