Not necessarily so oldskool or DC--that looks like Firestar to the left of Wonder Woman's butt, and Dazzler above her.
This was the best year for tats at Comic-Con ever - there were some awesome works of art.
A Lady Death tattoo is the sort of thing other nerds will beat you up for. That Captain America, on the other hand, is pretty slick.
Should I ever get any body art, I'm going straight to Starman for inspiration.
nice! I just added my Hard Boiled (Miller/Darrow, not Woo/Yun-Fat) tattoo to the "Show us your photo" link.
Imagine spending the rest of your life as a comic book cover.
I love comics, but I hate tattoos. What's wrong with me?
re: #6,
Don't sweat it, man. It's not for everyone. I've spent my entire life drawing on everything i could find, including myself, and art is everything I am.
My tattoos, including the ones i have and the ones i'm planning to have, are things that i've considered for a long time, and are deeply influential or otherwise deeply connected to who I am. As an illustrator, it's my job to tell stories in pictures, and for me, tattoos are a way to express parts of my "story."
Different strokes, y'know?
