Markjames Helps Start February with a Hoot
February 1st found me scowling optimistically.I was pondering how I had managed, since Christmas Eve, to only post ink-spotted tattoos only twice. Some days over the summer I easily eclipse that total on my lunch break.But this is the heart of winter and, when the temperatures haven't been cooperating,...
Last Saturday, I posted some tattoos sent to us from Tammy in Texas. Her son Dean is also tattooed and, in a much bigger way. We'll let him explain:My very first tattoo was done on my 18th birthday in 2005...[it is] a black dragon with kanji above it. ...
Last summer, my wife Melanie met Tammy on the staff message board of their company's website, where she and other employees across the country can exchange ideas and feedback. As a leader for Weight Watchers, Melanie often comes across members and co-workers who have used tattoos for inspiration and to...
On January 20, I logged the following notes:12:10 PM. Rather than wander in search of ink, I am trying something else. Staying put, here in front of the Amtrak Departures board in Penn Station, and seeing what walks to me.I have only successfully met 2 of the inked nation in...
Daniel Returns with Another Machine Head Tattoo
Last month I featured a leg tattoo belonging to Daniel, who was visiting from Australia. At the time he alluded to the fact that he had a pretty cool chest piece, as well. Understandably, he wasn't about to whip his shirt off in Penn Station in December.Anyway, Dan was kind...

When I think about how long that I have been doing the tattoo artist profiles for, it’s embarrassing to admit that I have not yet profiled Robert Hernandez. Considering that Hernandez is widely considered to be one of the greatest tattoo artists in the world, I’ve been slacking by not...
Better late than never. That’s what tattoo artist Bob Tyrrell has to say about his late start in the world of tattoo, and I have to agree with him. Bob grew up wanting to be an artist, but as he reached his teens he discovered the guitar and heavy metal...
Me personally, I would never get a corporate logo or name tattooed on any part of my body. Even if there was a very good cash incentive or prize for doing so. However, that’s just my opinion. Some people have no problem with tattooing corporate logos on their body in...
It doesn’t seem to matter what the art form is, whenever people look too deeply into it they are so often completely off the mark with their assumptions. It’s a regular occurrence when assumptions about everything from a person’s character to their social status are made about people simply because...
Route 66 is an American legacy. One of America’s very first highways, it inspired everything from songs to memorabilia to a spot in the 2006 Pixar animated film, Cars. The highway covers a total distance of 2,451 miles or 3,045 kilometers. Although the route was officially removed from the United...
Damn you Australians, you lucky bastards. As I sit here with the heat in my apartment cranked up and the sound of the icy rain smacking against my windows, all I can think about is being some place warm and fun. Some place tropical, some place where I can surf...
Tattoos In Flight: Airplane, Flying, Aviation & Flight Themed Tattoos
Tattooed Power: Amazing General Electric GE90 Turbofan Engine Cutaway Tattoo
I will admit, I waited a while before posting this tattoo… we wanted to display it at just the right time because we didn’t want such an amazing piece of tattoo artistry overlooked. In fact, when I first saw this incredible tattoo of a General Electric GE90 turbofan engine as...
Aviatrix Scorned: Droppin’ the “F” Bomb Tattoo
Certainly the aviation industry isn’t immune to the occasional curse word… hell, I have heard quite a few conversations between pilots and mechanics myself where every other word is a “colorful adjective.” That said, this colorful caricature of a female aviator (also known as an Aviatrix) buzzing about and dropping...
Just PLANE Hip Ink: P-51 Mustang Fighter Tattoo
Normally I don’t like to post two tattoos of the same type of aircraft one right after the other, but since the P-51 Mustang WWII fighter is so popular as a tattoo and technique of this specific tattoo is so unique, I couldn’t help myself! (click the image above for the...
‘Stang Excitement: P-51 Mustang Backpiece Tattoo
One of the things that makes tattoos featuring aircraft so challenging is the amount of detail that many aircraft require to look accurate. As a result, airplane tattoos generally work better when they cover a larger part of the body rather than small areas… backs and torsos seem to work...
Spitfire Skin Art: WWII Fighter Tattoo
As a follow-up to yesterday’s post that featured the poem of RCAF pilot John Gillespie Magee, today we feature a beautiful tattoo of the aircraft that inspired that poem, the Supermarine Spitfire. (click the image for the full post & a larger photo) The Spitfire was one of the most famous fighter...
Poetic Memory: High Flight Tattooed Verse
For many who find their true home in the sky, flying is far more than a mode of transportation… it is an artform, a state of being, and the intrinsic spirit that propels them forward. The romance of dancing around clouds and soaring above the Earth moves aviators to poetry,...

Tattoos these days have become more of a body modification “just because” and less of a message, as they were when I was growing up. When I got my first tattoo, I got it because I had recently turned 18 and I wanted something that was going to stick with...
I would say it is rare to see someone engaging in severe body modifications that does not already have a tattoo or three. When I say severe body mods I am talking about suspensions, pierced nipples, and pierced nose bridges like the guy in this picture, hooks and rings pierced...
