Invisibles Tattoos

I've been thinking about getting an Invisibles tattoo. Does anybody have anything like that? What do you have? What have you thought about getting/think would make a good tattoo?

I am pretty set on getting the tattoo, but am not sure what image yet...I have thought about the panel from towards the end of volume three by Jill Thompson, where King Mob raises a wine glass and says "To Chaos"...I will try to post a scan of the panel later.

Others?

I really like that Andy Warhol grenade. They have all sorts of flourescent like colors to use these days, and the tattoo would stand on it's own without having any knowledge about the Invisibles, and wouldn't look too cartoony, which I think alot of comic character tattoos end up looking like.

I've toyed with having Barbelith as I like simple geometric shapes...
There's a guy down in brighton who has the logo tatooed down the inside of his four arm. which i must say is damn cool and damn hardcore. he looks like paul pope drew him as well. swine.

he ain't work there no more far as i know, but that kiddie was like the most annoying comic-shop guy ever - and the competition's tough. he started wearing those leather strap things over the tattoo a lot.

check this - at the weekend me and quantum both got blank badges! woowoooo! awesome! harrooh! etc.

I have a blank badge tattoo. Not white, blank. And no cheating by drawing an outline either.

I have a Morrisons tattoo in the shape of a giant squid.

Well, it's more dedicated to him really.

Actually, no. Not George Morrison. I mean the supermarket.

With the dodgy yellow and black logo.

Squid.

The squid's not that giant either. It's the length of my lil' winkie, with the tentacles wrapped around my... oh never mind.

I got similar, but mine was of their prawn salad.

Badgey goodness woot! I now have two badges, one white and one enamel badger, happy me!
Tattoowise you should get King Mob's face and tattoo it on your own face so that your face is like his face with a secret beard and when you close your eyes he's looking at people! SPOOKY!

o_O You got badger tattoos, Quantum? Wow, we need photos here!

DAMN YOU! I wanted a badger. Now I can't.

But yes, pictures please.

A badger badge you fools, although a bold Meles Meles across the belly is appealing, so that as I run to fat my big badger belly grows to warped dimensions. Especially apt if I drink Badger beer (which is lovely but does send one's six pack to pot rather).

I have a tattoo on my liver that says "Hand's off bastards!".

Which is odd, and discomforting because it's actually of a pretty bunny.

Tattoos?

Hardcore?

Yeah?

Lodge a badger on your todger.

I have a tattoo on my kidneys saying "not for pregnant ladies".

Back on topic - somebody (John Odin?) had the King Mob scorpion tattoo at the base of his spine - I don't know if he's still about, though.

I have a tattoo of a spider that I designed on the center of my spine, which is vaguely reminiscent of KM's scorpion tattoo (in that it's a tattoo of a familiar/totem animal on the non-face side of a human being). But that's the closest I got.

15:55 / 03.05.06

I have a tattoo of that logo that's on the badges.

I almost got a Barbelith tattoo about 3 years ago, but I never got around to it... and too much time went by.

Which is probably for the better. I sort of regret now getting that 'Crying of Lot 49' tattoo...

I actually have one that I did meself. I do cosmetic tattooing, and thought the UV ink would be a good addition. I ordered a supply a couple of years ago, but nobody seems really interested in it around here. The UV ink is a lot thinner than regular pigment, so for a practice work I put a tribal dragon/triskelion (don't ask) on my left shoulder. It's kinda neat though - I get lots of looks when I go sleeveless to the roller rink!
