Watching Invisible Daughter… Vocalist totally reminds me of Poe. Which is a great association.
Seattle is full of nerds.

The Charm The Fury, an awesome metalcore band from Amsterdam with a superhumanly good female screamer front, just released their first EP! CONGRATS GUYS! You can get it on iTunes or, you know if you aren’t a Mac person, download it from Amazon like I just did.
You can also follow them on Tumblr!
Another variation of this Kurt Vonnegut quote. This is done in a traditional tattoo lettering.
More awesome typographic ink.

I LOVE bold typographic tattoos!

“Emo isn’t a genre - it’s far too messy and contentious for that. What the term does signify is a particular relationship between a fan and a band. It’s the desire to turn a monologue into a dialogue, to be part if the art that affects you and to connect to it on every possible level - sentiments particularly relevant in an increasingly corporate, suburban, and diffuse culture such as ours.” — Alan Greenwald in “Nothing Feels Good: Punk Rock, Teenagers and Emo”, written in 2003
Lul, already glad I bought this book.

Tattoos and the Stories About Them -
This is a beautiful way to document.
Delirium of The Endless done by Michael Kemp of Royal Ink Tattoo and Piercing, Republic, MO
My husband is near to completing his apprenticeship and this is the best tattoo he has done so far- as you can see, it’s magnificent! The Sandman resonates with me far more than any other work of fiction, and I will end up with an entire sleeve dedicated to Gaiman’s work. This is just the beginning, and I’m already in love with it!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the unique style on this one - colors and line work - even if its from a comic book cover (I never did read Sandman, so I don’t actually know if the style is from the tattoo artist or original comic book illustrator).
