Electronic Tattoo

We all know just how tattoos can be cool, and we love them! Even though some of us are taking forever to decide when to actually take the plunge and get inked ourselves, there is no stopping us from appreciating all those wonderful works of art inked on other people’s bodies. Now what if you can have a tattoo that has the potential to be far cooler than what you can see today – both the real ones and the temporary ones? I am talking about an electronic tattoo, or epidermal electronics as they call it. This new technology is based on ultrathin electronics, which can then be placed on Read more »

QR Code Tattoo Jully

I don’t know about you, but I have been seeing QR codes, or Quick Response codes, more lately. It’s not like QR codes are something new, but I didn’t really notice them being used a lot till recently. Some people in my circle of friends online even use QR codes for their profile picture. We’ve also heard about the use of QR codes on tombstones in Japan. Now what about getting a QR code tattoo? French tattoo artist K.A.R.L. is supposed to be the first guy ever who takes on the job of tattooing a QR code on another person. He did so on the 16th of June this year, Read more »

9 Peanuts Tattoos To Drool Over

In keeping up with the tattoos series, I looked around the internet for Peanuts tattoos. Who doesn’t know Peanuts or it’s main character Charlie Brown? They never bore, each year without missing they are on TV for the holidays in the U.S. The comics are full of imparting wisdom’s. I found nine tattoos good enough to be posted here. There are lots of tattoo photos but personally I find only a handful good. People have different tastes, but some tattoos we can all agree are ugly. I choose nine tattoos, mostly Charlie Brown that are nicely done. Read more »

7 Banksy Tattoos

Thanks to Franky I’ve become familiar with the artist Banksy. After reading all posts here and seeing videos inspired by his art work I have read about him on several other websites. From what I have read of him he seems a bit like Bill Watterson, the creator of Calvin and Hobbes. Both of them don’t seek publicity nor strive to make big bucks by marketing their products. This in a way speaks to me, as they are artist who care more for their work than their cash flow. I have one tattoo for somewhat over a year and a half and I took a long time to decide on Read more »

8 Awesome Twilight Tattoos?

If there is one book and movie franchise that provokes a lot of reactions it is the Twilight saga. You either love it or hate it. I knew how much it was hated by the haters, every time a new movie came out I would read the endless bashing of the movie. It doesn’t bother me, I read the books, saw the movies so safe to say I like it. That’s it, a healthy liking, no obsessions or anything. I can even say I read very fast through some parts in the books that where too mushy. I had no idea just how much others likes, or no, loves Twilight. Read more »

Incredibly intricate tattoos on LEGO Minifigs

Pilot Pens has a new “extra fine” point pen available, and to demonstrate its needle-like size, a Barcelona ad agency came up with this series of adverts that feature LEGO Minifigures. The Minifigs have been inked using the extra fine Pilot pens, and are shown in extreme close-ups so you can see for yourself just how intricate these drawn-on tats are. It’s a brilliant strategy, as everyone in the world knows the size of a LEGO Minifig, so seeing these complex art pieces drawn on such a small medium demonstrates the size of the pen tip far better than any words could. (Plus, the use of tattooed Minifigs demonstrates a Read more »

Got a Geeky Tattoo?

Tattoos are making a comeback – no doubt about it. Gone are the days when people got ostracized for having ink on their bodies. I don’t know if it’s due to TV shows like LA Ink and the influence of celebrities with tattoos; or maybe, the wide acceptance of these shows and people is due to the changing perceptions of the general public. It’s like the chicken and the egg, really. In any case, it is safe to say that you can get a tattoo (or two) without getting all worked up about the implications. And who says only the bada#* guys get tattoos? Check out all our posts on Read more »

9 Cool Calvin and Hobbes tattoos

Calvin and Hobbes is the most anti commercial comic strip that I know of. Its creator Bill Watterson stopped with the strip in 1995 after 10 years of creating a daily comic strip of Calvin and Hobbes. He has withdrawn from public eye and never gives an interview. He has been called the J.D. Salinger of the comic strip world. I don’t know of you but when I started reading the newspaper as a kid I started with the comics section which included syndicated strips of Calvin and Hobbes. I must say that I only cared for Calvin and Hobbes, non of the others, which explains why I don’t remember Read more »
