Tattoo of the Week: Thai Ink

I went to Coney Island the other weekend and visited the museum there. A lot of the people who worked there had a lot of great tattoo art. Out of all the ink I saw and pictures I took, this one was one of my favorites. It was done in Thailand in the traditional method of tapping the ink under the skin.

The story behind the piece is just as interesting. He went to Thailand and told the artist that he could do anything he wanted from the shoulder to the elbow and around his pre-existing tattoo (cruxified bear). The artist said he couldn't just do anything, he had to get to know him. So they drink , smoked and talked till the artist said he knew what to do and he did this design.

It is all about the opposing forces of good and evil with in us.
