I looooove Cerah’s triceratops chestpiece tattoo, in progress by Mark Lankin at Funhouse Tattoo in Vancouver, BC. This picture was taken after the second session.

    i’ve been trying to think of something cool to get for paleontology… perhaps a trilobite :P nothing nearly as baddass as a triceratops skull chestpiece zomg!

  13. the tattoo is amazing as well as the girl!!!

  14. Fantastic piece of work. Quirky but classy.

  15. Oh wow, that is an awesome tattoo. It really suits her!

    What’s not to love about dinosaurs?

  18. love the tattoo! it seems quite original and the work is great.

  19. Most interesting and awesome-looking tattoo I’ve seen in a good while. Amazing x

  20. Brilliant!! I’ve been trying to figure out a cool way to incorporate dinosaurs into my body art, she has shown it can be done! *sigh* Dinosaurs were such a massive part of my childhood. Land Before Time, anyone?

  21. great looking tattoo. and there’s nothing sexier than a girl with a buzzed head.

  22. Cerah is the name of the Triceratops on The Land Before Time.

    Awesome piece.

    This totally just made my day!! Thanks for the compliments… there’s pics of the finished chestpiece on in IAM gallery.

  29. HA! First thing I saw was a HUGE lobe stretching in the mirror – then I looked again and realized it was a towel holder! …then I noticed the beautiful tattoo and woman!!

  30. @20

    That and brave little toaster are my favorite childhood movies.

  31. Wow, that looks so good. I haven’t seen many tattoos where your looking directly at the front of the subject like that, usually their on an angle showing some sort of profile. Its turned out really well, congrats to the artist and all involved.

  32. i’ve always wanted to shave my head
    but i like my hair a lot

    the tattoo totally ruins a beautiful décolletage.

  49. Wonderfull! The best Dino Tat I have EVER seen!

  50. Fucking AWESOME tattoo on a beautiful girl.

  51. [...] My current plan is to get a tattoo of a dinosaur skull on my right upper arm, with paleobotanical stuff surrounding it (y’know, big ferns, scary flowers, maybe a crazy pinecone-lookin’ thing in there for good measure) for color. . I haven’t decided between triceratops (childhood fave) and styracosaurus (bad-ass horns), or if I want the skull in profile, three-quarters view, or head-on (I think I’d rather have a bare skull than a fleshed-out dino head, because who knows what they looked like with skin ‘n’ junk?). I’m hoping the tattoo artist will be able to help out with those decisions; I’d be happy with any of the options. Cub scout’s honor (never made it to Boy Scout), I swear I came up with this before I saw this righteous tattoo. [...]

  52. [...] pretty great tattoo with an increasingly familiar theme was posted recently on flickr. I did a double-take when I first saw [...]

  53. [...] of you may recognize this tattoo (and this person!) from an earlier post (or from the source), and I gotta say, I am just tickled to have a photo of Cerah and her (now completed, I think) [...]

  54. holy fuck…
    sinead oconnor
