Those of you who have been following me for a while have been aware of the various tattoos I’ve been collecting on my body. One in particular was on my right arm and was of a Jerry Only-esque zombie. I was never pleased with it. it was crooked, muddy and everyone thought it was Michael Jackson from the Thriller video! Granted, I have always liked Thriller but it was most certainly NOT a tattoo of MJ.

Anyway, to try to detract from the hideousness of that tattoo I started to add another tattoo of a Mars Attacks alien shooting a pinup girl in the head, blowing her brains out with a ray gun.  That never really got finished. I procrastinated, procrastinated, and eventually found a tattoo artist in NYC to do the cover-up over the zombie and pull the other tattoos into one cohesive piece. The problem was, 2 sessions into the tattoo he decided to become a complete douche bag because i wouldn’t go on a date with him.

I never went back, more time went by but I finally went on to do the color and only one more session remains before it’s finished. I should have it done within 2 weeks.  I’ve gone ahead and posted photos of the work I had done last month, 3 sessions. Almost done! Enjoy.

The color was done by the talented Carl Rowe at Acid Works Tattoo in Burton, MI.
