  1. RE: “Adventure Story”

    That is not a superhero blessed by the Sun. That is THE Batman. The Dark Knight? Ring a bell? And the background is of the painting Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh. The text below the picture seems to know this, yet the text above is completely and utterly wrong. Was the person who wrote this post schizophrenic?

    Same thing with “Dracula Rising”. That is Batman, not Dracula. Duh. Again, the guy who wrote the text below the pic is spot on, and the author of the text above it is a moron.

  2. Stop trying to pin point the meanings of other peoples tattoos, and classifying them. I’m sure you are dead wrong about have of these and you seem to lack an understanding of major pop culture, or maybe you are spot on I dont know. All I know is that you should voice your opinion on the technique and apreciate the artistic qualities you understand. Many of these tattoos have meanings that no one but the wearer understands and it annoys me that you don’t know who batman is haha!
