John Deweese, who tattoos at Great American Tattoo Company (Shelbyville, Indiana) found the “Faux Pas” entry here on ModBlog and thought it was a beautiful image (I agree!), so he had his boss Joshua Carlton tattoo it on him.

    Joshua Carlton is an incredible tattoo artist, the guy who owns the shop I go to for piercings has a few tattoos by him, they look just as good in person as they do on film.
