Here is Lord Sharkington III. He's a gentlemanly fire breathing shark coming out of some slimy fleshy rose petals...and there are some spider webs too. Why not?

He was tattooed by Orrin Hurley.

I was working in this little streetshop a few years back that was filled with tons of crappy flash, one dead ass winter day, my co-worker and I each picked the 3 craziest/funniest/shittiest pieces we could find, made copies, wadded them up, threw them in a cup, shook it and drew one each. I got the "Original Tattoo Brand™" Punkrock duck.

I got a similar story. Killing time in the shop my buddy used to work at in Vegas and we stumbled upon this gem (aka the stupidest flash in the shop). Lo and behold it ended up on my skin. The "2012" was just a freehand add-on cuz we started joking about the apocolaypse and saying these space monkeys from the future are what 2012 is really going to be about.

I don't have a decent picture of the tattoo, but here's the watercolor (By Rick Lohm of HALO in Syracuse, who also did the tattoo) that spawned it.

Story-

Once the big owl trend really started hitting hard, I decided it was time for the noble Turkey to be the next "It" tattoo bird. Eagles, Owls, Swallows.... they've all had their turn. So every time Rick would post a tattoo of an eagle on his facebook, I'd comment that it didn't really look like a turkey and that he should try harder. Habitually harassing him until he finally painted this to shut me up- A portrait of me as the devil Turkey.

The milk was because Rick likes milk- we didn't even get the "cry over spilt milk" thing until after he tattooed it on me.

The turkey has yet to get it's turn, but it's coming.
