Whenever we post an art brut tattoo, people have a lot to say in the comments–love them, hate them, whatever. For some reason I would expect pieces like the one below to stir up the same reaction, but people are pretty quiet about them.

Why is that? Are you all a little more accepting because of the more traditional elements? Reading your opinions and insights into what we post around here is one thing I don’t think we’ll ever get tired of. (Unless you’re being a dick, but that goes without saying.)

I’ve never been to Spain, but after all the times we’ve posted the work coming out of Aloha Tattoos in Barcelona I’m super jealous of anyone in the area tomorrow night. If you can, check out the La Cobra Negra art show they’re holding to celebrate the shop’s 10th anniversary. As you can see, the artist lineup is crazy amazing. GO!
