These tattoos are definitely lacking. It leaves a lot to be desired with your reporting.
Aren't Pandas Chinese?
Dear lo', I hope these fools are all wearing sunblock. They might not be my idea of good art, but EVERY tattoo needs to be protected from the sun.
I almost did head coverings, that would have been fun too.
My friend has a the Yoshimi Flaming Lips robot on her back, and the tattoo is signed by all the members of The Flaming Lips. I think that is way more rock than any of these Lolla tattoos. And she was at Lolla also!
yes, you're right...i totally misspoke and realized that as soon as she walked away...should have said Asian artwork. i have three others that were inspired by japanese woodblocks and it was just the first thing that came in my head. i apologize for my seeming ignorance =) thanks for the feature!!
I don't see any Colonel Tribune tattoos. What a shame.
Well the Led Zeppelin Wizard tattoo is not bad, but it would need some extra work. The only one I really like is the canal tattoo, all the other tattoos are nothing really special - just my opinion.
