Tattoo of a UY character

Post by Thomas Froehling »

Hello,

I've found this picture of a tattoo on a nameless (well, he's got a name, but he won't reveal it) German UY fan:

Looks pretty cool, I think...

I have a superman symbol tattoo on my arm and I'm trying to convince my wife to let me get a Usagi tattoo as well. So far it's no go, but I did get her to admit there is a chance.

Anyone else have a Usagi tattoo?

Interesting... old school early Neko ninja design (just compare the 86 version in say Lone Rabbit And Child, to the ones more usually drawn today).

Yes, I believe that ninja to be one of the three attacking Usagi in "lone rabbit and child" on the bridge; the most goory scene in UY, with all the spraying blood....

Unfortunately, the German UY series is not very advanced; I think the last one published covers stories of the Fantagraphics TPBs...

There is actually a body art page on this website as well (from the old UYD website):

I think you all are pretty hard core fans to have UY art tattooed on your bodies. I admire you but I'm not that committed.

Speaking of tattoos, check out Kip's Fulbeck new book "Permanence: Tattoo Portraits" :

http://www.kenphillipsgroup.com/Phillips/kip.htm

Kip is the youngest professor to ever get tenure at UCSB. I plugged his book "Part Asian, 100% Hapa" and website here before (might as well do it again): http://www.seaweedproductions.com/hapa/

He is one of those artist that make me self-reflect on who I am. Check it out if you have the time. Hope you like it.

Peace, maka
