Star Wars/Dalí tattoo

Paul at Old School Tattoo in Bellingham, Washington inked this tattoo, adding a bit of Salvador Dalí's "Elephants" to a Star Wars AT-AT Walker. BMEzine.com has the wearer's story.

Even more fearsome? Or even easier to take down?

More pointless self mutilation.

The art geeks and sci-fi nerds have begun interbreeding...

Yay for Bellinghamsters' as they call themselves.

If you ever pass through and are of the beer drinking persuasion Boundary Bay makes a wicked scotch ale and Orchard street brewery's stock ale is awesome.

B'ham is on the puget sound, close to the canadian border, close to skiing at Mt. Baker and with the exception of the job market it is a great place to live.

If anybody likes goth stuff http://www.gothhouse.org is run by a hamster

For lowbrowness "The Beaver" is a great bar as is the ranch room.

"Pointless self mutilation?"

What's the point of your post, again? What's the point of getting out of bed? Getting dressed? Going to work? Masturbating?

Dunno if it's based off of this ( http://farm1.static.flickr.com/123/369326692_9f538a2d10.jpg ) or just a coincidence, but cool nonetheless!

The art geeks

Tattoos are strictly for art geeks?

and sci-fi nerds

Because, y'know, who's ever heard of Yoda, lightsabers, and The Force besides "sci-fi nerds"?

have begun interbreeding...

Perhaps take notes?

The Force is strong with this tattooed one.

That's a pretty brilliant tattoo. Definitely not generic.

Strophe @12: I think they said "art geeks" not because of the tattoo, but because he knows more about Dali than that he had a crazy mustache and painted melted clocks. And a sci-fi nerd, because I imagine that's one of the pre-requisites to having a Star Wars tattoo.

I don't see this as too much of a stretch, that is, if you're tatooine.

Harumph!

WANT!!!!! This is definitely a tattoo I would love to plagiarize, had I the funds and a way to fit it into my current tattoo color scheme.
