Nope, this is not a picture thread.

I'm interested in tats and tat history. Norman Collins and Bert Grimm are two of my faves. That said, I don't have any.

I have seen some of the sorriest excuses for ink lately.

Saw a guy the other day with an outline on his lower leg. It looked like a drunk 5yo with a Sharpie did the work. I have no idea what it was supposed to be.

Another was a girl walking by. She had an Egyptian eye at the base of her neck and Chinese characters running down the right shoulder blade. The upper sleeve was an incomprehensible mish mash of colors.

Then there are the scratchers. Just because your friend has a tat gun does not mean you should let them work on you.
