Tatception: Tattoos of tattooed people

[Kev]

While watching the excellent Freedy Corbin tattoo in blog, my ears perked up when he started talking about his tattooed nun from Don Ed Hardy. I really like this design concept. My first exposure to it was in old Japanese woodcut prints of tattooed samurai from the Shinpen Suikogaiden

I've seen Westernized versions ranging from the Greg Irons Edith Burchett tattoo:

to cholo updates like this banger from Nico Acosta at Better Days in Santiago Chile:

and this awesome Red Hot from Eric Gregory at Little Vinnie's Tattoos in Baltimore, MD:

Anybody else dig this?

[David Flores]

Great stuff. Love that look, I need a tattoo with tattoos for sure.

[Bubbleberry]

really loving the Nico Acosta piece. Glenn Arthur paints a lot of tattooed ladies but as yet I have not seen to many tattoos of his work...A local guy Terry Bradley also does this type of stuff.

Yes! Have a couple "tattoos with tattoos" I have in mind, can't wait to get 'em. Those are all great examples!

*"While watching the excellent Freddy Corbin interview in the blog" Sorry about the spelling-how do you edit first posts?

Tattoos with tattoos are awesome. This kewpie that my friend Jon Larson (Depot Town Tattoo/Front Street Tattoo) did a few months back is one of my favorite tattoos that I have.

Posted this link in the tattoo book section, but someone might be interested in it here:

The work of Kaname depicts women with tattoos, here is an example:

Maybe someone could use it as inspiration for a large piece or something.

Here is a collab painting between the lovely Lina Stigsson and the equally lovely Stooks (manly lovely of course :rolleyes: )
