Some cool tattoos for men images:
Tattoo Eyes the J.P. Licks Cup

Image by meeralee
I took a leisurely, one hour walk home from work today and got all kinds of new pictures for my sticker-art exhibit next month. I’m going to go broke matting and framing them, I think.
I’d never seen this guy before! I love it — Magritte meets the library poster. Or maybe it’s a subtle way of saying Superman?
THE JAPANESE TATTOO — Art & Artifice in 19th Century Hand Colored Photographs (6) 入れ墨

Image by Okinawa Soba
FOR THOSE WHOSE INTERESTS TOUCH ON THE THREE-FOLD WORLD OF ART, PHOTOGRAPHY, and the TATTOO, this series is just for you. Their appearance here on flickr is the first time they are being "published" together as a group.
After reading the below caption to get an understanding of what’s going on here, you may also click on the following link to see all six of these old photos (plus a full crop of one of the originals) displayed in a horizontal strip on one page : www.flickr.com/search/?w=24443965@N08&q=Tattoo+Varian…
The above image is one of six detailed crops taken from different hand-colored photographs of the same subject, all taken during the same photo session over 110 years ago. The six images were printed under the sun using albumen paper, and come from four variant negatives — two being unique, with two more having one duplicate each. (Can you tell which are which ?)
However, the coloring is different for all of them, and this set of six is only the tip of the iceberg that tells you there is still a mountain of other unique, hand-colored images of this subject that await to be found and enjoyed — no doubt, some having more "interesting" tattoo make-over work than others (just as you see here).
They were all printed and prepared by the photographer and studio colorists in 1896 for inclusion in the 1897 sets of Capt. Brinkley’s JAPAN – DESCRIBED AND ILLUSTRATED BY THE JAPANESE.
A Description of this unusual publication that used real photographs for illustrations is given in more detail here : www.flickr.com/photos/24443965@N08/3340015545/
The caption at that link will give you an idea of the immense number of photographs that had to be hand tinted for this project. However, beyond that, there was still the massive amount of these images (and all others like then that had to be prepared for tourist albums every year).
THE TATTOO as ART & ARTIFICE.
I have read with my own eyes a short "Photo History" of Japan written by a foreigner for a Japanese publication. This "expert" roughly stated that "….these tattooed models seen in the old Japanese photos were not tattooed at all. The artful creations covering the bodies of these naked men were born from the imagination of the colorists, and applied to the photographer’s models who had no tattoos at all….."
Let’s clear something up right here. THAT IS NOT CORRECT.
In fact, here is another photo of two fine young men in my TATTOO SET where the underlying tattoos are on display. The camera clearly captured the original art, with very little artifice to obscure the work of the Tattoo Artist : www.flickr.com/photos/24443965@N08/2337821109/sizes/l/in/…
However, such is not always the case, as the six variant POST RUNNER images show.
For example……
Please pick any portion of the above image — for example, the BURST OF PINK FLOWERS running down his back behind his RIGHT SHOULDER.
Now, let your eyes jump from picture to picture looking at just that one area. PHOTO #5 will show you the real tattoo ART that lies under the skin, while the other five photos show this ART obscured by the ARTIFICE of the studio colorists.
Photo #5 will also show you the cleanest view of PORTRAIT OF A WOMAN tattooed on the upper arm. In the other images, she is generally preserved in a faithful manner, with only the lines of her arms and clothes delineated by the colorists in various ways.
In PHOTO #3, the pronounced red "cross-hatching" in the middle of his back proves to be ARTIFICE, while photos #2 and #5 give you a better look at the TRUE ART of the Tattooer underneath. This area of the back combines various degrees of truth and reality from photo to photo.
Notice the heavy use of un-delineated PINK on the runners leg in photo #2. In the other photos, the bands are delineated with dark lines.
I’ll let you take it from here to make your own discoveries. You will find plenty of REAL TATTOO ART — some very simple in execution — as you look carefully around the images.
I hope this series of six images (culled from over 30 years of collecting) has been of historic value and interest to you old ART, PHOTO, and TATTOO nuts out there. The early days of photography is where these three disciplines came together in some interesting and beautiful ways.
By the way, here’s the pic in context, with HI-REZ available at the ALL SIZES button for your further study or downloading :

One of the Close Shaves of a Sailor’s Life

Image by paws22
"This is another flash-light picture taken after considerable difficulty by our Stereo-scopic Artist on board the Missouri. some of the boys can shave themselves and others are not able and the sailor who is not able to shave himself has to avail himself of the first opportunity that presents itself to him, and he is now being shaved by a friend or comrade. Thrown together closely and isolated, the sailors have to depend on one another for many comforts in the shape of tailoring, shaving and that sort of thing. We wish to draw your attention again to the fine physique of the men."
