More amazing wizards (dragon edition)

I'm seriously obsessed with wizard tattoos. Sorry if you guys are getting sick of them! Here are a bunch with their dragon buddies.<br /><br /><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2343/2454624237_7bd655e13d.jpg?v=0"><br />It looks like he's about to pitch all the magic onto his hand that's holding the orb, whereupon it will smash into one million pieces and doom the dragon to an eternity underground without his friends or family. <br /><br /><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2204/2454610691_721cd3a6ab.jpg?v=0"><br />This dude is NOT HAPPY about the dragon's fiery flames. Not one bit. <br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3193/2454610759_c22fa01908.jpg?v=0"><br />Since when are wizards 100x bigger than dragons? I like the lightning bolts though.<br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3529/3260746755_508a82184e.jpg?v=0"><br />"Alright, I want a dungeon. A deep, dark, scary dungeon, with a DRAGON and a huge SPIDER, and a lizard, and cobwebs, and an EVIL PLOTTING WIZARD with another dragon on his shoulder, and a CUTE BLUEBIRD and a HEART with a banner with my girlfriend's name on it and a bunch of FLAMES on the other side and some smoke all around everything. Okay?"

Wizards with triangle things on their hats

You guys probably know by now how much I love bad tattoos that are all from the same book/ piece of flash/ google search. I especially feel this way about wizard tattoos. I collect photos of wizard tattoos and then try to match them up. It's amazing how many are alike! This is the largest collection of matching wizards I have so far. Enjoy.<br /><br />This one has a sketch next to it, but it <i>can't</i> be the original.<br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3178/2454610137_cf9e7504d1.jpg?v=0"><br /><br />I love how they are all the same, but have their own little personalities...<br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3275/2455406318_1558a8ac34.jpg?v=0"> <br /><br />... like "mild" written over the nipple, for example.<br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3088/2454609977_77b879dc33.jpg?v=0"><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3258/2455438810_73d0c70cdd.jpg?v=0"><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3529/3260747659_cfc66817aa.jpg?v=0"><br /><br />And finally one in color! I can't decide if the color makes this bad tattoo more or less awesome. There's something about the classic black and white wizard that I really love, but I think anything magical really deserves to be in color. <br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3265/3261574640_9114c9f3c7.jpg?v=0"><br /><br />I'm sure there are many more wizards-with-triangle-things-on-their-hats out there, I just have to find them. If you know of anyone with one of these, or know where they might come from, please let me know!

Wizards III: wizards with balls

Here is an assortment of my favorite tattoo theme: wizards with glowing and/or fiery crystal balls.<br /><br />Glowing red eyes just make this wizard look like a snake, and what is up with the weird pointy shoulder on the left? I can't even begin to discuss the money ball...<br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/wizards/wizards%20new/ink-7702.jpg"><br /><br />This wizard is the best of the bunch, technique-wise, but what is up with the Q-ball? The sparkles are a good touch. <br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/wizards/wizards%20new/wizard22.jpg"><br /><br />This guy gets bonus points for having eyes, but negative points for the half-assed glowing ball. <br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/wizards/wizards%20new/ink_2908.jpg"><br /><br />Not only does this wizard look like a zombie with shark teeth, but his magic ball is made out of DRAGONS and he has flying decapitated hands. <br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/wizards/wizards%20new/wizard-tattoo-31874.jpg"><br /><br />I love the robe but this wizard looks like he's about to hike a football, not cast some serious magic<br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/wizards/wizards%20new/Wizard-tattoo-25445.jpg"><br /><br /><br />And finally, I know this bad picture obscures the badness of the tattoo, but just pay close attention to the pointy red fingernails, the snake-eyes, and the fire that looks like it is in zero-g. <br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/wizards/wizards%20new/wizard2.jpg">

Wizards II

I actually like these wizards. It must be flash, or from some pretty well-known book, because I came across these today on two totally different tattoo shop sites. <br />If you have seen a wizard that looks like this or know where it might come from, let me know!<br /><br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/Wizard.gif"><br /><br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/color040.jpg">

Wizards

Please let me state that I have a huge soft spot for wizard tattoos. They are pretty much always terrible (let me know if you have seen a good wizard tattoo), but charming, in a weird kind of way. I don't really know why I like bad wizard tattoos so much, because I certainly don't find bad fairy tattoos charming (or even good fairy tattoos). Anyway, here is a bevy of awesomely awful wizard tattoos:<br /><br />Hairy Red-Eyed Floating Head Wizard:<br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/wizards/Untitled-7.jpg" /><br /><br />Meek Purple Wizard:<br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/wizards/tat1.jpg" /><br /><br />Yin-Yang "POUNDER" Wizard (the bats are really cool though):<br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/wizards/wizard_big.jpg" /><br /><br />Death Wizard:<br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/wizards/altermann_462.jpg" /><br /><br />Space Wizard (I love love love this dude):<br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/wizards/ACF717B.jpg" /><br /><br />Blasty Wizard:<br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/wizards/ACF9DF0.jpg" /><br /><br />Wizard-That-Doesn't-Look-Like-A-Wizard 1 (the website I found it on clearly stated that it was a wizard):<br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/wizards/EvilWizard.jpg" /><br /><br />Wizard-That-Doesn't-Look-Like-A-Wizard 2:<br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/wizards/25.jpg" /><br /><br />And, for the grand finale, Not Safe For Work Wizard (thanks Jen):<br /><a href="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/wizards/of50233442.jpg">click here to see NSFWW</a>

Fantasy Failures

Fantasy gems from <a href="http://www.bigdogzink.com/">Big Dogz Ink</a>:<br /><br />Unicorn tattoos are awesome! Tribal tattoos are not. Wonky unicorns floating astride a tribal piece? Totally awful.<br /><br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/S4020625.jpg" /><br /><br />This wizard is <i>almost</i> awesome. He's grizzled and has a cool staff, but his hand is melting, his beard and his cloak meld into each other, and the whole tattoo looks scratched.<br /><br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/7-29-06_009.jpg" /><br /><br />And from <a href="http://headlighttattoo.com/">Headlight Tattoo</a> (not all their stuff is terrible, so it's not as fun as Big Dogz, but there are some gems in the galleries if you search)<br /><br /><br />Okay, so the color choices in this fairy aren't that bad, but the proportions? The smooshed face? The hair? The floppy left hand? (the right hand claw is kinda sweet though.) The weird shading in the dress?<br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/IMAG009A.jpg" />
