These will be real soon enough


I think this is the greatest tattoo of a particular subject I admire - ever.

That subject is plugs.
I would like to start off by saying that no one in the Edison era ever tattooed a picture of the standard UL 110V outlet on their body.

We live in different times. And here we are, hopefully no further than a single generation away from a true mind-computer link.

So the idea of flattering both cyberpunk culture and the obscure inevitability of the 'Brain Plug' is sexy to me.

Why do I love this one the best? Well, the obvious Matrix-like inspiration is a clue to what's on the surface but my dear readers - there is so much more.

I do believe that the artist of this tattoo to be of an elite Matrix fan base and I can tell from some of the subtle, but most vital additions made to the original matrix design.

  • The person's a total fan
  • They added their birthdate? or some other date as a funky addition.
  • The numbers above look like hex code, could convert to ASCII - I'm too lazy to try
  • The most important part of the whole deal is the fact that the artist was able to convince a freaking awesome sense of depth - so that's amazing and I applaud that element because it really exemplifies the talent of the artíst.
This artist owner meant business.
I even think it belongs to a chick.
Found this bad boy here on Cat Tattoo.
