A friend of mine sent me this photo he randomly came across in a Message Board on the Internet. I couldn't believe it, somebody went & got themselves a "BANE" Tattoo! Yes, this image is the "Actor Tom Hardy" version. Now, the artwork is decent & the Tattoo is pretty nice, but what if the movie sucks? I remember a year or two ago when we were covering the last Batman movie pretty hard. The same thing happened then. Before THE DARK KNIGHT movie was released, even while it was still being filmed, a lot of people went out & got JOKER TATTOOS based on publicity photos. I had the same fears then but once the movie came out everything was cool because Heath Ledger gave an amazing performance & the Joker character ( and movie ) was actually great, whew! Let's hope these "Bane Tattoo" people have the same luck.
I recently got an email from a Bat-Blog Fan who said that he wants to get a Batman Tattoo in the "Animated Series" Art Style ( Awesome! ). He plans on having Batman & another Villain. His 2 choices for the bad guy are either The Riddler or Mr. Freeze. He said that his main problem is trying to find some decent graphics to use. He's done a Google "Image Search" & came up with nothing. I tried too & was surprised by how little there was online. So, this post is to ask Bat-Blog Readers out there if YOU have any decent pics, or ideas where to find them, then please shoot us an email. Now, my idea is for him to hit a Comic Book Store & dig through the back issues. There were a few different titles that had the "animated series" characters. The graphic up above is an example. I think if he dug into a few of these books he could find some comic panels that have awesome graphics.
Look at this amazing BATMAN TATTOO ART our friend Shane recently got inked on himself. It was done by Aja Ann ( Kitty Tatt ) from "Dig A Tattoo" in Dunedin, New Zealand and is some of Tony Daniel's artwork from the BATMAN R.I.P. Comic Book series. The gradient values of the color are wonderful & this BAT-TAT came out great ( Good work Aja! ) and thanks to Shane for sharing the photo. If anybody else every gets some work done then please remember to share. The Bat-Blog is all about the love of the Dark Knight character in ALL it's forms.
Here at the Bat-Blog we love getting photos from Bat-Fans so it was pretty cool when we got this pic from a Fan named Taylor. Here she is showing off her special Batman Bat-Symbol Logo Tattoo & it's AWESOME! Thanks for sharing pic with us Taylor, your Bat-Tat was very well-done, the lines are sharp & clean, looks great! Hey, if any other Bat-Blog Readers get some ink done then please be sure to send us some pics too!
Check out this really really great BATMAN TATTOO ART that features the Golden Age BATMAN Comic Book Logo! I have always loved this old vintage graphic so seeing it as a tattoo is a lot of fun. Plus, the Artist, Bill at the Tattoo Lounge in Los Angeles ( CA. ), did an amazing job on it. A Bat-Blog Fan named Drew sent us this photo, thanks Drew!
OK, even if you're not a Big Fan of "Tattoos", then you still have to admit that this BATMAN AND JOKER PLAYING CARD Tattoo Art is completely amazing! Our friend Brandon just recently got this ink done and the image is beautiful! I posted the same photo twice, then flipped one over, so you can see it from different angles. The colors are vibrant, the black lines are sharp... this Tattoo Artist did a really great job. I really love this artwork. I wanna thank Brandon for sharing his fun photo. If any other Bat-Blog Fans out there get any Bat-Tats done then please shoot us a picture!
Our friend Joel sent us this nice photo showing his new BATMAN TATTOO Art. It's the "The Dark Knight Movie Logo"... Awesome!! Thanks for sharing this pic Joel, that's very cool. It looks good & I like how clean/sharp the lines are. If any other Bat-Blog Fans out there get some bat-ink done then please be sure to send us some photos too.
OK, here at the Bat-Blog we publish a lot of Batman Tattoo Photos because it's a very fun form of ART & I think they're always interesting to see. But this one is very special to us because the guy who got it said he was inspired to get off his couch & go get inked by reading a few posts here at the Bat-Blog...WOW! We're really honored, seriously! Plus I'm glad that the tattoo work turned out so well, ha! The BATMAN TATTOO we're talking about belongs to a guy named Stu. Of course it's the ADAM WEST version from the 1966 TV Series ( Awesome! ). Stu told us it was inked by Tony Evans of Opulent Ink, Wolverhampton ( in the UK ). Well Stu, please tell Tony we think he did an amazing job! The shading is very well done & it gives this Bat-Tat an almost photo-realistic look, very nice! I mean, it really really looks like WEST!!
OK, This post is kinda weird & sorta cool, all at the same time. Our friend lee was watching TV recently & saw this Harley Quinn Tattoo on a large SUMO Wrestler! The artwork is actually pretty good & it's cool he's a Batman Fan. This was shown on the Spike TV Show, "Manswers".
Our friend Katie sent us this wonderful photo showing off her Batman "Arm Sleeve" Tattoo. The artwork looks super-great & if you're also a fan of the Sandman Vertigo DC Comics Series then you'll really like the other arm too! Thank You Katie for sharing your pictures. Both of these tattoos are very very very cool! As always we want to invite any & all Bat-Blog Readers ( that includes YOU ) to share any Batman-related pics you might have. It can be Tattoo Pics, Original Artwork, Toy or Comic Book Collections, Birthday Cakes, Customs...whatever! ( Our e-mail button is always on the top right-hand side of this page ).
Check out this photo, recently submitted by a Bat-Blog Fan named Simone, of her extremely cool back tattoo of HARLEY QUINN! Who, of course, we all know as a member of GOTHAM CITY SIRENS & sometimes she's the Joker's girlfriend ( I'm talking about Harley, not Simone, ha ha! ). The art concept is sort of playing around with the old "Comedy & Tragedy" idea. The left image is happy & she's crying in the other one. This seems pretty accurate since Harley Quinn suffers from a major bi-polar personality! But all kidding aside this Batman Tattoo is really really great & I wanna thank Simone for sending it in.
Here's a very clever BATMAN TATTOO sent in by a Bat-Blog Fan named Zachary. He totally loves BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES & to prove it his tattoo shows 3 frames from the Animation Storyboard for the cartoon's opening intro. WOW! That's very original & actually very very cool! He said he got the image from the BATMAN ANIMATED Book by Paul Dini & Chip Kidd. I love that book. It's a great "behind the scenes" look at the making of the TV Show. It came out a few years ago & is a total fan-favorite among many Batman Collectors ( For more info I posted an Amazon link at the bottom of this post ). I wanna thank Zachary for sending in this wonderful photo & also give him props for getting such a unique bat-tat! Remember Readers, if you know anybody who recently got some ink done then please shoot us a photo. Our e-mail button is always on the top right-hand side of this blog.
This photo was sent in by our friend James. In the graphic Batman is holding a small "Robin Bird" in his hand. Now, that is sort of ironic. You know, "Batman & Robin". But the story is larger than that. He got this tattoo to celebrate his mother. The "Robin Bird" is sort of a symbol for her because she really loved birds & her name was also "Robin". That's very sweet. I like when tattoos have a lot of meaning to them like that, very cool. I wanna thank James for sharing both his story & cool pic. ( As a side-note, the Tattoo Artist is Steve Lima ).
I thought I'd do a quick post to show everybody this extremely nice photo of some BATMAN TATTOO ART that a friend named Jonathan just recently got! It's a very surreal-type image showing Batman turning into a group of flying bats...cool! The Tattoo Artist did a really great job on it! I wanna thank Jonathan for letting me post this pic. If any other readers out there have cool Batman-related pics to share ( new or old toys, crafts, drawings, etc...) then please be sure to send them in.
OK, this Batman Tattoo has the word "WIN" written all over it! Even if you're not a fan of the art form you gotta give props to how cool this is! A friend to the Bat-Blog emailed this to us the other night & we're not sure if this is his bat-tattoo, or just a cool pic he found. But either way I love the homage to the 1966 Batman TV Movie. It's the scene where Adam West is running around trying to get rid of a bomb. It has the classic phrase underneath the image, "Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb!" ...Awesome! If there are any other readers out there who have had some recent bat-tat work done then please send us some photos, thanks!
