“Every time I get a tattoo, it’s a little fuck-you to anyone who tells me not to. I like the way getting a tattoo feels. It’s weird to be part of Hollywood, which tries to control every aspect of people, from what they say to the color of their hair. And I like the way getting a tattoo feels. If I’m depressed, it’s nice to get one and deal with the pain. I have one all the way down to my ribs. It hurt, but it felt good like twisting a loose tooth.

I’m not kidding when I say that if I ever lose a role because of my tattoos, I’ll quit Hollywood and go to work at Costco.” “Everyone hates them because people are so closed-minded about tattoos”

The image below is a great example of modern Polynesian style tattoos and although perhaps lacking the cultural authenticity of some, the work shown at The Polynesian Tattoo Factory is nonetheless inspired and very well done!

Westlife Portraits Tattoo

Well, the tributes to musical geniuses keep appearing. Like the Britney tattoo, this one has to be commended for it’s sheer quality and taste. The ‘Avante Garde harmonies’ (that’s singing out of tune, to you and me) of Westlife really are a cause for celebration.

The identity of the wearer has been obscured for humanitarian reasons.

Britney Spears Shaved Head Tattoo

All I can say is well done to the owner if this tattoo, it is absolutely brilliant.

Britney Spears is an undisputed musical genius and her rise and fall deserves to be commemorated in this way. The Chinese ribs caught between her teeth effect is spot on, too. I really wish I’d thought of this first, though.

Oh well.

Stroll on.
