Tattoos, Politics, and Geekish Ephemera

I've posted Salvador-Dali inspired tattoos before, but I thought I'd post a little bit something extra in preparation for tomorrow's Halloween costume. Both pics are from BMEZine.
What I love most about this tattoo is that Weird Al himself said "Wow. Um… you know those things are permanent, right?" on his twitter account in response to it.
"Well, kids, when I was about your age, there was this singer called Britney Spears, and she shaved all her hair off... it was really funny at the time."
As much as I want to make fun of this tattoo, I'm too busy thinking about how awesome it would be to live in a country with Judas Priest rockin' out as the Founding Fathers on Mt. Rushmore.
I really wanted a Star Wars tribute tattoo, and my artist really wanted to do one. I didn’t want anything overused or anything, like the insignia or a lightsaber, and I didn’t want a huge scene with ships and everything, so we decided to kind of create something. I liked the shape of the AT-AT walkers, but they were kind of beefy. I was thinking I wanted something more slender, like a Dali elephant, and here it is! I’m so happy with how it turned out, and I’m really glad to have something completely original on my body.
