"The creatures I draw only come alive on somebody's skin. This is why I never show my designs as so-called art. I draw simply for fun and to have samples to show my clients so they can pick a new design. The creatures depicted take the person's breath away once they are on his or her skin — and then the two start breathing together, in unison. Human history alters the look of the animals and plants I paint, and when the person wearing them dies, so too do they."
Hey trip, sorry it took me so long to respond. Those tattoos will just be black, but I'm getting them filled in soon. At the time, the tattoo shop owner wanted to let the outline heal first so we could see how well they healed before we filled them in. That way, he could touch up spots before filling. I'm looking forward to more.
Haven't got any tatts ... thanks anyway, but that doesn't mean I don't like 'em!! These especially, so if I ever WERE to get one, yep, it'd be a Zappa one. Now, which one?! There are so many great ones here!
Hey guys... been ages since ive properly been on here (much to my shame), but what with the UK part of the tour coming up, I felt it necessary.
I also figured that it would be fun to get more zappa ink done before the shows (going to cambridge, london and brighton).... and, well, I did :D
Photos to follow in a week or two as it was only done yesterday - my arm is still rather [very] sore (5.5 hours in the chair!) but d**n it was worth it... I just cant wait to see how it looks after its healed properly.
Loving some of those Trip - where are they all from? The lumpy gravy in particular looks awesome :P
This is from the worst rock tattoos list....Curly was in a rock band? rock on stooges!

Here's a pic of my new one as it's finally healed up.
Must say, I'm really happy with it - the pain WAS worth it!!!
