Here's a cool one by Virginia Elwood

aka a Tom of Finland character , I've seen some cool guy-heads by Todd Noble that were awesome, especially for the fairer sex or others so inclined .

I actually like names and shit done in Olde English / Gothic lettering , my favourite is the letter "s " that looks badass .

I found this photo online of Hori Chiyo from the collection of the Nagasaki University Library

@eisen777 I know it's a different bird but your back has a Pontiac trans am vibe going on .

@ironchef Strawberries are a natural diuretic and it's not uncommon for bodybuilders to eat them pre-contest to dry out which could affect the tattoo process much like caffeine . However seeing the quality of the results your having changing your routine is clearly optional .

I love the cats boots .

This is from a newly digitalised 16th century book of costumes - medieval tattooed folk

Just finished Brighton Rock by Graham Greene which is really beautifully written and at times almost poetic . I was really struck by a feeling that it has many parallels to a Clockwork Orange and the antihero Pinkie is a great character along with his girlfriend Rose they are a old timey Sid and Nancy of sorts . I've also discovered Harry Crews and brought a great collection of his works Classic Crews , his writing is pretty brutal and he presents some freaky characters which he cherishes and so will you . I liked Marvin Molar a guy with stumps for legs, who's deaf and can't speak ,walks on his hands and subsequently lives in the local gym (where he was dumped as a baby) and has a fine set of 20 inch arms .
