Bukowski tattoos

[nervas]

ah well I went ahead and got it anyways even though you guys have cock in balls in your minds. the guy who did it has a done a few bukowski tattoo's and is a fan also which was pretty cool.

Let's see a pic.

Not poking fun in any way, I wish I had the balls to get any tattoo, but my mom might have a heart attack, ya know.

To suggest that this lettering was done by a master tattooist is like saying someone is a master chef because they can cook a box of macaroni and cheese without burning it.

Anyone in their first month of tattooing could have done that. Like filling in an entire coloring book page with only a black crayon. Maybe they clap and fawn over that kind of thing at the special school, but in reality it is not any kind of achievement.

I invite you over to my house to hang around with me for a few weeks and wax poetic over every load of laundry I fold or pot of coffee I make.

God, I wish I could say things like this.

This thread fucking sucks. And I know it's cliche, but I really hate hipsters.

Sorry dudes.

hi is there any Buk handwriting font from this poem:

Cadillacs and butterflies
nothing and everything

 

[bospress.net]

whaaaaa?

 

[nervas]

i think its the gothic font, no, i'm sure thats the font he used for tattoos...

 

[steframone]

Try photoshop:

is tha original?or photoshop?

 

[hank solo]

It's photoshop, but the text was made up from other real examples of Bukowski's handwriting.

 

[steframone]

nice!

 

[mandy]

i'm just going to leave this here.

That's a lot of ink on a sensitive spot. It will give some nice young men (or women) something to read when you're lying on your belly.

 

[Bill Sikes]

Nah, 'too many' words...:)

 

[Gerard K H Love]

It's an invitation to roll you over.

 

[nervas]

But where is the credit to Buk? You know maybe at the end.... - Charles Bukowski? Or something like that? I don't know, I want a tattoo, inspired by Buk, or the RHCP, but will probably never have the balls.

Anyway, reminds me of a girl I once knew, well still know kind of, who thought that quote from Buk was the greatest thing she's ever read! Cheers to ya!

I logged in to Facebook to do some app tweaking for the forum and found this linking to us:

People, please, do not get naked and lie on top of Bukowksi's grave. It's unbecoming. That's a quiet neighborhood. Show some dignity.

 

[Stavrogin]

Yep, do show some respect but can't help myself by thinking that's. a. pretty. fucking. cool. image.

 

[Mark73]

I don't know. From left to right it reads "Don't Like born into this

[Bukfan]

"Like born into this" - how artsy...:tongue:

born like this.
born into this.

james is right, that's the way it looked to me. I think it is a nice picture, nice colors with the grass and skin but maybe a bit shocking for the neighbors.

The grass probably made her tits all itchy though.

 

[hoochmonkey9]

she's just carrying on the tradition...

 

[Bukfan]

born like this.
born into this.

Of course! I misread it. It did'nt occur to me she had combined the two sentences...

 

[reasonknot]

Okay.not the best picture,but here is my Buk tattoo.

 

[d gray]

[reasonknot]

Thanks.I Liked that bird ever since I first saw it on SCREAMS FROM THE BALCONY. so now if you are near me and i am sucking on a cold beer then you get a little piece of history.Educational and fun.

I just contacted famous Skid Row tattoo artist "Mister Cartoon" regarding some work. He's done a bunch of bad famous people's work.

Minimum price tag on a tat, $2500. Fuck that.

 

[Gerard K H Love]

Okay.not the best picture,but here is my Buk tattoo.

Tell us about the little blond doll on the window sill? What's up with that? Nice tattoo.

Mrs. Reasonknot has nothing to do with this. Leave her out of it.

 

[reasonknot]
