Brendan Does A Basquiat Bratwurst Tattoo

I remember when the movie based on the life of Jean-Michel Basquiat came out and I was intrigued. First of all, the soundtrack was dope but also, I totally thought Jeffrey Wright was hot.

Enter Brendan, who brought his Basquit tattoo to my attention. He "was 21, liked the drawing and it was an impulse" which is just as good a reason to get one as any.  That was about 5 years ago and randomly I was talking to some of the guys from Tattoo Factory and they remembered him getting it done.

He wanted to make sure I gave a shout out to Hank (he didn't do the tattoo but apparently he ran the "best tea house in the city, Urban Tea Lounge", which is sadly now defunct.

Ready for a boob shot? I know you are!! Here it is:

I think that's pretty awesome and somehow, as a gay vegetarian, I'm not totally turned off.

So here's what Brendan (and I) challenge you, the reader, to do. Send in pictures of YOUR Basquiat-inspired tattoo. Send in pictures of your friend's Basquiat-inspired tattoo! Send in pictures of your grandma's Basquiat-inspired tattoo! We're gonna have a Basquiat-Off!**



 
**The Basquiat-off does not include photos of the Basquiat crown since Brendan says "That's too easy".
