TATTOO ART: BATMAN and THE JOKER from The Killing Joke

A friend to the Bat-Blog, named Brad, sent us this very cool photo of an amazing tattoo he just recently had done. It features art of Batman & The Joker. Many Batman Fans will recognize the artwork used is from THE KILLING JOKE Graphic Novel with original art by Brian Bolland ( shown in the photo on the right side ). The tattoo artist's name is Blake Bristow from Clear Lake, Texas. Brad, please pass along to Blake that he did an incredible job on this, it's totally beautiful! The shading & colors look really great! I know in your e-mail you said that it's not 100% done yet, that he will be adding some background design to it, but so far it's amazing! Please be sure to send a photo of the completed artwork because now I'm totally curious how it's gonna turn out, thanks. Also, If any other readers have had some tattoo-work done, that's "Batman related", then please send us some photos!

Not Killing Joke. Last Laugh #6

(Side note: It originally didn't say "Funny how things turn out" but said "I WIN!" because Joker gets Nightwing to beat him to death though he gets mouth to mouth resuscitation)

Tat owner Brad here, thanks for the info on the pic, i didn't know that.
Crap, I wish i knew the original verbiage, i like that better! I wish you could see though, the picture does not give it justice. Also getting some more white packed in and maybe more color, i want it to POP a bit more.
Thanks for the kind words, Blake did an awesome job.
