Tattoos of Celebrities We Lost in 2009

Music + whiskey + tattoos= me

We've lost a surprisingly large amount of celebrities this year - many way too soon. I decided to put together a gallery of tattoos people have gotten to memorialize some of their favorite stars. Some tattoos were easier to find than others and some I was amazed were never done (Dom DeLuise anyone?). For some, when I couldn't find an image of the person themselves, I got creative. Unfortunately I couldn't get too creative with the one for Marilyn Chambers due to the amount of real genitals I had to see during that search.

Let's hope 2010 is filled with more happiness and less death for all of us.

Really? A Billy Mays tattoo?
Someone has a Billy Mays tattoo and yet no one has a Mary Travers or Puff the Magic Dragon tat?
Yes, I know he died in 2008. There are no good looking Ledger tats, just ones of him as the Joker. He was too pretty to be remembered that way.
The Cramps frontman passed away in February.
The man is a legend if only for making everyone say out loud that they wished they were his weiner.
I am way too young to know who he is...

She acknowledged that in the comments. Read the captions!

Thanks for the Lux Interior tattoo. He was a class act, and he'll definitely be missed in our household.

For sure, he played a big role in a lot of people's lives. I remember hearing about him when I was interviewing the Gore Gore Girls, they had just come off of tour withe The Cramps, said it was one of the best experiences ever.
