Alright... time for my next (second) tattoo. I'm looking for a good Jesus image, and I'm open to suggestion. I'm partial to the one of Pernell's forearm in the first shot here (Geez... he's a sexy beast, isn't he?!)
Anyway, feel free to leave your 2 cents worth. Thanks.

It's hard to tell in the shot I'm seeing but to me it looks a little Che Guevara-ish...

Mike - Onionboy (Owen Swain) had a cool one on his site a while back. I have a copy in an email if your interested in seeing it. His price is good, and it's original.
Have you thought about reproducing one of the ancient icons? You just don't seem like a guy who'd put pop-art on your body...

PS...you talking about Jesus or Pernell on the one comment? Just wondering.......we'll talk. :-)

Three serious ones to consider, then two not so serious...I chose the serious ones because they would fit with my tattoos...I chose the no so serious ones because I've actually seen them both...
To consider...
Number 1
Number 2
Number 3
To laugh at...
Number 4
Number 5

Mike
Don't know what it would look like on a tattoo but have you seen Roy Henry Vickers Jesus? Don't know waht the copyright issues are. See it here. http://www.royhenryvickers.com/reproductions/individualpiece.php?id=73

Thanks Nate - I should probably add my Bobble-Head Jesus as Number 6!
Glenn - I have seen that somewhere... might be worth looking into. Thanks very much.

Take your bobblehead Jesus in to the tattoo guy

You know, you may want to re-enter society at some point in your life and looking like a squeegee kid won't help.
Besides, Jesus didn't assume human form to preach a message of universal love and brotherhood, die an excruciating torturous death and redeem all of humankind's sin going back to Adam and forevermore only to have the whole thing commemorated on your ass.

Ha Ha, Robert you said it!

Robert wins again! Sagacious AND funny - by far my favourite athiest. :-)

Mike - Am I a sexy beast or Jesus?
Feel free to use the same tattoo I have. I don't mind at all. It is delicious looking.
Or just go in with a few pics of him you like and tell the tattoo artist to do some totally original.
