Love Body Art

Heeeeeeere’s Johnny…forever in ink!

I absolutely LOVE horror movies, and have since I was a kid.  The chilling music and nervous anticipation of what’s going to pop up around the corner is thrilling for me.  However, no matter how much I love this time of year, I don’t think I would get a permanent image of my favourite psycho on my body.  First, because I have too many favourite psychos like Michael Myers, Freddie, and Jason so where would I put them all?  And second because what would worshiping a mental case say about me?  But thankfully some people do get body art of these classic creepy characters and the rest of us can admire them or scoff as we wish.  I prefer to show respect for those that want to die with Frankenstein on their skin.  Check out this list compiled by ChicagoNow.com of some frightening Halloween ink.

Now Your Toilet Can Look As Cool As You

Okay, I’ve written about tattoos on people, children, corpses and even animals but today I expand that list to include…toilets!  That’s right, I just found an article at Beliefnet.com that talks about this new product that dresses up your porcelain throne.  It’s a decorative plastic cover that can be wiped clean and reused.  Now, my first instinct was to roll my eyes at this new form of “body art”, but when I checked out the actual designs at Toilet-Tattoos.com I was quite impressed.  There are some gorgeous designs available!  I’m talking about trendy stripes, outdoor scenes, festive images, and even encouraging words for potty training.  I’m not saying I’ll spend the 10 bucks on one, but I can’t lie…I’m a little bit tempted.  Check out the designs here.

This 67 Year-Old Plans To Get 220 Flags Inked On Himself

I just found a great story about this 67 year-old man from India who says he’s going to get the flag of every country in the world tattooed on himself.  That’s 220 flags and so far he has six.  This guy is so obsessed with getting into the Guinness Book of World records that he changed his first name to Guinness.  Now that’s commitment!  On the surface it sounds like a strange story but the article I found at Telegraph.co.uk explains the mission behind the madness.  Mr. Guinness says “People who have no money wish to do something in their lives, so the poor people try to break records by their strength or their will.”  And it’s this kind of desire and determination that has motivated him to already achieve four certified world bests.  Very impressive Mr. Guinness.  I think the spoiled people of the world, including myself, can learn a thing or two about passion and perseverance from you.  Check out the article here.
