Cowboygirl up!
This gem was submitted by a reader. It's actually not that bad... technically it's good, and I get the funny "cowboy up" twist on phrasing. The floating hat is a little weird, but I've seen a million worse tattoos. It did get me into searching for some cowboy tattoos though, and look what I found!
Same artist or inspiration? I kind of like it...
However, there are some truly terrible cowboy tattoos out there, which I am happy to share with you.
I love his tiny feet! They're so dainty!
This poor cowboy only has one foot.
And this is from the anime series Cowboy Bebop, so it's a different kind of cowboy... but it's so terrible I had to share.

A quick reader round-up...
Nee sent in this ace owl above, done by Phil Blast of A New Dimension Tattoo in Lake Worth, FL. Owl was done at the Jacksonville (FL) Tattoo Convention in September 2009.
This barn owl comes from Quartny.
From 'lilpip'.
And finally, the above owl comes from Andrew.
I always seem to be behind in posting reader and tattooist submissions (I get so many now!). However, if yours hasn't been posted, it will be at some point, honest! I've had a few superb tattooist submissions in the past month, and these should all be appearing in the near future. Thanks for your patience!!!

Eye know you got a bad tattoo
This gem was sent to me by a reader. Thanks! I love the "painterly" style.
If anyone knows what's going on here, please let me know!
And this one... yeesh! It has everything! Spraypaint, tears, a rose, eyes... I wonder what the sad story behind it is.
