Violator Tattoo

I was looking through my ThinkGeek catalog and I noticed this:


Oh, no. Not the tie. The tattoo. There are very few people that will overlook the tie, which is cool, and look right at the tattoo, which is way cooler.

Not only is it the image of Depeche Mode's Violator album cover, it is the ALBUM cover. I am talking about twelve inch vinyl, not the CD cover.

Here is the CD cover:


Image of vinyl cover:


Unfortunately, most people know the CD version as the 'official' cover. Few know that the original cover is the vinyl cover. Back in the day, it was also on the cassette tap cover as well as on the long box for the CD in its original release in 1990.

I almost want to purchase the tie, just because the hipster-emo boy is sporting said ink.

Flowers tattoos are too cool attractive. I design a custom tattoo for my neck and I combine flower art with the sun and as result, I got an awesome tattoo design! When I show this design to the tattoo artist he also told me that this is one of the best tattoo designs I have ever seen.
