Never let a blind man give you a tattoo...

 

[Quigley]

Ah, good point! :)

 

[mjp]

Heh, well, I don't want to be too rough on that guy, but it is a bad tattoo, man...

 

[Charlie]

Whose is it?

 

[HenryChinaski]

yeah who is that guy? and i concur, that tattoo sucks a fat one. it looks like a homemade job.

man i'm getting a buk tattoo on my forearm, of the little man he always signed with his sig.

 

[mjp]

I don't know who he is, someone sent me the link...

 

[Kisa2674]

Don't know the guy but it looks like he's a big fan of Rasputin.

 

[Ponder]

Don't know the guy

Well, he is the founder of a popular expression.
Take a look at my favorite buknet thread: https://bukowskiforum.com/index.php...yspace-plus-p-howard-bont-try-bosp-jazz.2718/

Hadn't read that thread for some time. It is a classic.

Was it ever revealed, what the origin of that wonderful drawing was ?

It's from a Polish Bukowski-book:

 

[d gray]

well, at least we know now that it wasn't the tattooists fault...

 

[roni]

not entirely, no. But he should have realized, that the man who came to him and wanted this tattoo suffered from some mental illness.

 

[d gray]

as retarded as it may sound, i still like it better than all the realistic, overworked ones that we've seen.

i wonder if the owner knows how legendary he is around here...

 

[Black Swan]

Only the picture has been reversed. It could have written "YRT T'NOB".

I know this is a softball question but for a laugh i was looking for the poem tattoo where the woman had the type-o and it changed the meaning. She had a cap on and a sleevless t-shirt, short hair, attractive. Can anyone point me in the right direction and re-find it for me?... Nevermind. Found it. "Roll the Dice" etc...

It's a damn good thing we have roni to hook us up with all of this cool European stuff.
