We're back again, Amigos!
In this week's episode of the Skin Deep Tattoo Podcast, NeighborN8 and I are reviewing the Good and Crazy tattoos for the week of Black Friday, November 29th 2024. Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving yesterday.
The weather is getting colder so slap on your hoodie, grab a hot beverage and let’s chat on some killer (pun STILL intended) Halloween tattoos. Push ply on the video episode and if you enjoy the show make sure to subscribe on YouTube or with your email. 🤘
Wes starts us off with an absolute gem—a puffer fish tattoo that's so good it makes you chuckle every time you look at it. This isn't just any puffer fish either; this fish looks like it just took a big hit! When Wes says, "Executed so well," it's an understatement. He also mentions the intricate details like the leather jacket and a smiley face pin, really bringing this fish to life. And, did you catch that? Bloodshot eyes even!
Next up in the good category, we have a tiger head tattoo right on the dome. Neighbor Nate is floored, noting the fantastic use of colors, especially the blend of orange and white against black. "For a dome tattoo, this thing is gnarly," comments Wes. He shares that tattooing the head is no joke—the vibrations can make your brains feel like they’re getting mixed up! But this piece is so good, it's worth the mild concussion risk.
Transitioning to the crazy category, we have an insane full-body tattoo. This piece goes from the head all the way down to the back of the knees! "It's gotta be like 20, 30 hours of work, at least. Maybe more," Wes says, still in awe. The detailed gray tones and the clever framing make this piece something you just have to see to believe.
When Neighbor Nate sees a tattoo incorporating nipples as targets, he can't help but laugh. "Is it a target? I don't know. What's funny is that thing's done. Awesome," says Wes. Despite the hilarity, the tattoo's quality is top-notch. Neighbor Nate comments on how perfectly the nipples fit into the tattoo, making it look as if they were meant to be there all along.
Lastly in the crazy category, we have a tattoo that's all about the cheese stick love. As Wes explains, this tattoo changes when you open your arm, making the mozzarella cheese stretch, which is just genius. "You have to really love cheese sticks to get a tattoo of a cheese stick," Neighbor Nate quips. Yet, the design works seamlessly and has us all in stitches.
