Lego thumb-divot tattoo
Lego artist Nathan Sawaya decided to commemorate the divots that a long day of bricking leaves in his thumbs by having them permanently tattooed: "Every single day, I snap together bricks. Each day I am pressing down on the bumps of each brick to make sure there is a tight fit. And if I press real hard, the bumps leave little marks on myfingers and thumb. What better way to pay tribute to my medium of choice, then permanently inking those marks on to my thumb? Hence my new tattoo."
