Now THIS is what a zombie should look like!

I got a spur-of-the-moment zombie tattoo last week from Alex at <a href="http://www.threekingstattoo.com">Three Kings</a> in Brooklyn. If you've seen my millions of bad zombie tattoo posts, you know that a good, gory zombie is hard to come by. And I got one!!!!<br /><br /><img src="http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs032.snc1/3227_78091618157_583798157_1666820_2472151_n.jpg" width="500"><br /><br />Because it was a TOTAL impulse tattoo (I just dropped by the shop to hang out and watch my friend Myles tattoo my friend Josh for a couple minutes and ended up getting tattooed myself!) I didn't know where the image was from. It was just something AWESOME that Alex had drawn up (he had a bunch of drawings for their Friday the 13th Zombie day that were too involved for the <a href="http://awfultattoos.blogspot.com/2009/03/more-zombies.html">$40 zombie deal</a> they had going). Turns out it is from this obscure comic that not one, but TWO of my friends knew about!<br /><br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/goreshriek.jpg?t=1241550939" width="500"><br /><br />In other new tattoo news, I also got my other crow filled in. They're by Myles, also at <a href="http://www.threekingstattoo.com">Three Kings</a>. <br /><br /><img src="http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs032.snc1/3227_79402123157_583798157_1686455_7031119_n.jpg" width="500"><br /><br />I'm so stoked on them! They look great. <br /><br />I'll post some legitimately bad tattoos soon, I promise. I just wanted to share these awesome ones because I am so excited about them.

crows

I just got my thighs done. These are beyond awesome. Only the linework is done so far, but I'll get them finished next month. Done by the ever-awesome Myles Karr at Saved in Brooklyn, NY. <br /><br /><img src="http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs031.snc1/2658_57772043157_583798157_1461694_4289397_n.jpg"><br /><img src="http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs031.snc1/2658_57772053157_583798157_1461695_2618229_n.jpg"><br /><img src="http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs031.snc1/2658_57772063157_583798157_1461696_6540112_n.jpg"><br /><br />the placement is great<br /><img src="http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs031.snc1/2658_57772168157_583798157_1461698_5895917_n.jpg"><br /><img src="http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs031.snc1/2658_57772003157_583798157_1461692_7986153_n.jpg">

The Crow

I haven't gotten a tattoo in a year, and have been feeling the itch. I have an appointment for this upcoming Wednesday. I decided to get two big crows with lightning bolts, they'll probably on my ribs, unless I wuss out. It's kind of a memorial tattoo for my dad, but not totally. Anyway, I'll post pictures and you guys can feel free to make fun of them as much as you want. In anticipation of my appointment, I decided to do some looking around for terrible crow tattoos. I found a lot. <br /><br />Full disclosure: I was really into The Crow when I was a teenager. Here's a photo of me being totally awesome when I was 13 or 14.<br /><img src="http://photos-g.pe.facebook.com/photos-pe-sf2p/v128/18/123/583798157/n583798157_144846_151.jpg" width="500"><br />I don't have any ridiculous makeup on in that photo, but I definitely went to school made-up like the crow. The movie was filmed in my hometown (Wilmington, NC) and I went on a pilgrimage to see where Brandon Lee died. I listened to the soundtrack to the movie every day. I still really enjoy the movie. Regardless of my history with the movie, my crow tattoo idea has nothing to do with the movie <i>The Crow</i>. These people's tattoos do. There are so many sweet crow images out there, I don't know why they picked these out.... <br /><br />So here you go. Awful crow tattoos! <br /><br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/crow/DSC00052.jpg" width="500"><br />I think this crow is supposed to be on fire? It just looks blobby to me.<br /><br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/crow/123876946437_3300.jpg" width="500"><br />This is supposed to be the Crow logo, but it's not executed well...<br /><br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/crow/normal_DSCF0028.jpg" width="500"><br />This one too. Plus! Bonus barbed wire armband! I love seeing terrible versions of the same thing. (See my <a href="http://awfultattoos.blogspot.com/search/label/jesus">zombie jesus</a> and <a href="http://awfultattoos.blogspot.com/search/label/wizard">wizard</a> posts for more)<br /><br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/crow/01-09-08_2233.jpg" width="500"><br />Crow mask + tribal + cross = goldmine!<br /><br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/crow/normal_DSC01234re.jpg" width="500"><br />Scarred Kanji + flaming crow = bigger goldmine!<br /><br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/crow/fantat05.jpg" width="500"><br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/crow/fantat06.jpg" width="500"><br />I don't understand the spacing and sizing on this. It looks like the tattoos just got slapped on completely randomly. Also the little spritzes of red and yellow are a real nice touch. What is the black blob on the left? Can anyone tell?<br /><br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/crow/Copy_1_of_Image01.jpg" width="500"><br />skldfskdjf Brandon Lee does not look like that!<br /><br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/crow/The_Crow1.jpg" width="500"><br />And he really, really does not look like this!!!<br /><br />I hope you enjoyed this confessional edition of awful tattoos. Check back next week to make fun of my crow tattoo!
