Espo gets up everywhere nowadays.

“Celebrating the release of “A Love Letter For You Brick Valentines On The Philly Skyline” book by Free News Projects, we’re doing a series of events in Philadelphia. The one I’ll tell you about here is I am taking over the Northern Liberties Tattoo shop for a week (more or less depending on demand), and the only artwork that will be on offer will be all Steve Powers, all week long. All your favorite icons, punchlines, poignant reminders of the futility of life, hilarious illustrations of our inadequacies, True depictions of true love from the Love Letter project, and of course, PIGEONS. Its all here, it’s cheap, its permanent. No, I’m not tattooing, no skills. I will, however, sign your arm and let one of the skilled pros on staff at Todd’s shop re-ink it, fair enough? Sometime during the week, we’ll be having a book signing at Exit Philadelphia Skateshop next door, watch the project blog www.aloveletterforyou.com for time and date.”

“A northwest Georgia couple arrested for giving six of their children homemade tattoos say they didn’t do anything wrong. The kids, they say, wanted the tattoos to be like Mom and Dad.”

I really don’t know how to comment on this one? The kids ages ranged from 10-17, and I can understand the 17 year old getting a tattoo but the 10 year old? Come on.

Read the full story here.

Okay

The Website I pulled these from titled the post “25 Ugly Food Tattoos (What Were They Thinking?!)” but, to hell with that.  These are really creative.

This picture alone is classic enough

In the process of looking for summer essentials (a new feature coming up on TWBE) I came across this disaster. I am not sure if this is US dollars but, they want 688.00 of whatever it is. So, if your looking for a Yakuza inspired shirt, here you go. Nice patch on the denim too.

You have ink on your arm’s now on your plates. Designed by Paul Timman inspired by irezumi, the traditional Japanese tattooing style.  Timman is a tattoo artist in LA by trade; his work appears on Angelina Jolie and Mark Wahlberg.
