This tattoo came from here. This particular image reminds me of something I can't name. Perhaps it's an image from a famous painting and my readers know it?

Burn the Witch: UPDATED: DELETIONS

Okay, I'm just gonna preface this by saying I've been hemming and hawing over this tattoo for months and you might not want to see this. But I think it's important to remember the sufferings of old. Even if they weren't really witches (which most, if not all, weren't) this type of thing really happened. It's disturbing but true to history.

This tattoo comes from Rate My Ink. I'm curious to know what my guests think of this type of tattoo. Is it ok to include here or would you prefer I didn't? You're the boss folks, I just work here. So, let me know what you think.

Edited to UPDATE: I've only had two responses to this, both negative. So, unless I hear different from someone else in the next day or so I'll be removing this post and will not post anything similar in the future.

Edited again to UPDATE: Okay folks, the readers have spoken. Okay, only two spoke but that's enough for me. The image has been removed and I will refrain from posting anything similar in the future. I will, however, leave this post and the link to the original source up if anyone cares to view it.

And while I'm at it: 4 recent posts that contained images from BMEzine have been removed as those folks made it pretty plain they wish to bogart tattoo images. So if you notice a few nice tattoos missing just know you have not lost your mind. They have disappeared and been released back into the blogosphere.

Skull and Daisies

This gorgeous skull with daisies was created by the phenomenal tattoo artist Paul Acker. Be sure to check out his portfolio at Deep Six Laboratory. It's really amazing work if you can stomach all the blood and gore. This skull is relatively tame compared to some of his other work as he seems to specialize in horror images. But still, just wonderful art. This image reminds me of the Jodie Foster film Nell wherein she places daisies in the eye sockets of her dead sister and mother. As always, be sure to click the image to view the details.
