So close!

Deinonychus, from Carl Zimmer’s Science Tattoo Emporium

Only 3 days left! I can’t wait until Monday, when I’m going in to get a big tattoo of a triceratops skull with some flowers around it! I haven’t even seen the design that Mike Bellamy at Red Rocket Tattoo (NYC) has prepared, but I’m sure it will be awesome.

I originally posted this on 43things.com, where I found 28 other people who want to “get a dinosaur tattoo” (or already have, like spacebeing and Rachel).

I’ve found a number of other cool dinosaur tattoos whilst wandering around flickr, but my favorite dino ink (dink?) so far is probably this excellent black and grey scene featuring Deinonychus in a forest (from Carl Zimmer’s Science Tattoo Emporium, recently mentioned by Marisa on Needled Blog).

  Eugene, I always post artist information if I can find it. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find out who did this awesome deinonychus tattoo, even though this photo has made its way around the web and back. I’ll keep looking, and let you know if I find any clues…
