Tattoo shop owner. Hippie at heart. Single.
Im very passionate about sanitary, well done tattoos done in a professional environment.
Im all about long apprenticeships and hard work for tattoo artists.
NO SCRATCHERS HERE.
I’ve posted the Captain’s Locke tattoo and Mr. Eko as well, and now he’s added Ben to his collection!
All artwork was done by Kurt Fagerland (KurtFagerland.com; Kurtfagerland.tumblr.com)
The Captain had this to say along with the photo: “We’re very close to now filling up the bottom of the leg and there may be room for just one more portrait and we’d love for any fellow fans to be involved. Either let myself or Kurt know who we should add next and, if possible, send us a HQ photo of who you think should also be on my leg forever!”
Humans have been marking their skin permanently for thousands of years. A tattoo can be a remembrance, a constant prayer, a warning, or simply an amazing work of art. The reasons behind them can be intensely personal, decorative, whimsical, or utilitarian. They can signify tribal allegiance, personal history, or nothing at all. Collected below are recent images of skin art and a few glimpses into the owners of these tattoos and their reasons for modifying their own bodies.

This is a picture a kid on my facebook posted. He thinks he can tattoo, and he tattoos most of his friends for 20-50 dollars. Most of the comments on this photo are
“Dude so glad I got this finished!!”
“As soon as I get paid im coming to you to get tatted!!”
I SERIOUSLY WANT TO FUCKING SCREAM.
YOU ARE NOT A TATTOO ARTIST. THIS IS NOT ART.
THIS IS SCRATCHING AT ITS WORST AND PEOPLE LIKE YOU DO THE TATTOO COMMUNITY NO FAVORS WHAT SO EVER.
I’ll probably see this girl in a few months coming in and asking for it to be fixed. Fucking asshole.
I love my piercer so much haha.

I love Matt’s Jason mask from Friday The 13th this year. We had 13 for $13 at the shop.
