tattoo

This is from Jess, 25, who got it done at Jinx Proof in Georgetown. It’s a peacock feather and I think it came out very cool looking.

Ha, this is a pretty good one. I had no idea what it was but apparently it comes from a children’s book called “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs”. I’d never heard of that book, have you guys?

This design was taken from a Japanese beer bottle top. It’s tough not to like owls…

“So here is my submission, my homage to UDC Law. Simpler than your average TotW, but I sure like it.”

As a fellow public school graduate (South Side High School and Miami University, OH) I dig this tattoo the most!

Explanation from a reader:

“It’s about a year old and was done at Jinx by Cory Rogers. It’s the CA flag (where I’m from) with the DC flag in the center (obviously). The rocks in the green are supposed to be brown, but I altered them to yellow (NJ’s flag, where I was born) and blue (NY’s flag where my family is from).”

Sweet representation!

This is a map of Ethiopia with the Lion o f Judah. It was done it Lawrence, Kansas. Right on.

It’s funny as I was admiring the one above I said it reminded me of a Russian nesting doll and she said, no that’s on the other arm:

It was done by Tattoo Paradise at 2441 18th Street, NW.

Spotted this one at Columbia Heights Coffee. I can’t find his name in my notes. But he lived in the CH neighborhood. Def. a bit on the darker side but pretty impressive art.

One more angle after the jump. (more…)
