Get Inked by Simon With This New Tee!

Monday, July 30th, 2012

Мишка x Inked Magazine Tee ($32.00)

And I told you that we won’t stop! You think the crazy bounty of new stuff we dropped next week (from sunglasses, to watched, to hats, to genetically engineered hornets- wait…) means we don’t have some more new new to cure your case of the Mondays? Psshhh child please! For the three or four of you who didn’t make it out to 350 Broadway last Friday night, we had a great party celebrating the release of the Inked Magazine x Мишка Tee Shirt.

Designed by Lamour Supreme, this B&W beauty was well worth the shindig. And, naturally, it’s available online right now for your purchasing pleasure. The skeletal Simon has opened up his very own studio and it’s a little shop of horrors. So put on your finest leathers, and prepare to get Inked 4 LIFE…. AND DEATH!

Go Get Мишка Tatted In Taiwan!

Thursday, July 19th, 2012

Clear up some space on your skin – and time on your calendar to rush over to Taiwan! – to get yourself a brand new Мишка themed tattoo. We’ve had some tattoo events before,  including a particularly memorable one at 350 Broadway (and our upcoming Inked Magazine Party!), but I do believe this is the first one we’ve had out of the United States. We’re pretty hype that our devoted Taiwanese fans get to enjoy it.

Taking place at S.D.G. this Saturday, we’re teaming up with INK tattoo and artist Tattoo Dragon who’ll be dishing out designs like the Keep Watch, Cyco Simon, and D.A.R.T. Logos as seen in the flash above. Maybe you can talk him into tatting you with that awesome flier design as well… Check out the event page here!

No. 4, Ln. 120, Sec. 3

Come Get Inked At 350 Broadway! Metaphorically!

Monday, July 16th, 2012

We partnered up with you or your most heavily tatted friend’s favorite magazine, Inked, to design an awesome new shirt! In fact, it was so awesome that we decided we HAD to have a party to celebrate it, and what better place to party than the home of the magenta glow, 350 Broadway. We’ve had tattoo events there in the past (shouts to the the girl who got the Bozack tat!), so the Inked Tee launch party should go swimmingly.

Everyone will definitely be basking in the glory of the Lamour Supreme designed tee, which casts our very own Cyco Simon as a needle slingin’ badass doing work on a scantily clad lady with the harshest of haircuts. If you don’t want that image staring out at the world from a prime position on your chest, I don’t think we can be friends anymore. I’m not too worried though: I’m sure I’ll see everyone at 350 Broadway on Friday, July 27th, to celebrate the pairing of Мишка and Inked!

The High Five: Cinema’s Best Tattoos

Thursday, May 3rd, 2012

How do you make a character memorable? Sure, you could do the really hard stuff like developing their backstory, giving them a rich personal history and well developed, consistent motivation. Or you could just give them a really badass name like Snake , John Matrix, of Maximus. Better yet, you can just slap a fucking awesome tattoo on and BOOM, instant characterization.

It works on so many levels. First of all they just look cool. Even though it seems like everyone’s got one, in reality only 24% of American’s are tatted up, and I bet an overwhelming majority of the rest have at least considered it at one point, and are secretly jealous of some of their friends’ ink. Also, a tattoo displays a certain level of commitment, so for a character each tattoo can tell a little story without words. #tactics. Here are the High Five movie tats.

Honorable Mention: Francis Dolarhyde’s Dragon – Manhunter (1986)

In case you had forgotten, Tom Noonan is one terrifying looking motherfucker. His performance as Francis Dolarhyde in the original Hannibal movie, Michael Mann’s Manhunter, is not to be missed, as he’s simultaneously kind of pitiable but also pure nightmare fuel. One of the scariest moments in the film is when he doffs his shirt, whilst (of course) wearing some pantyhose half over his face, to reveal the giant William Blake red dragon tattoo he has.

Excepppppt this was never in the movie! What the fuck, right? What happened is they shot all of these scenes twice, once with the dragon and once without, and for whatever reason they decided that it worked better with just Noonan’s pasty ass flesh. Must have been a bummer for Noonan, because I imagine this wasn’t exactly a short sit in the makeup chair.

5. Marky Mark’s “Nicole 4 Eva” – Fear (1996)

Hey look, two William Peterson movies in a row! Bizarre! I’m not really sure why (well, yes I am: it’s awesome) but I really love Fear. I’m sure you may have noticed, I mention it on the Bloglin a disproportionately large amount. I’m particularly struck by the scene where Wahlberg’s character gives himself the world’s skeeziest/most intense stick & poke tattoo.

It’s just a really weird scene in general, but it also probably sums up his strange obsession better than anything else in the film. First of all, he does the whole thing whilst staring intensely at himself in a mirror, and then I just remember the cavalier way that he cracks open that Bic pen and smears the ink on like it’s fucking Coppertone. Plus, I mean, come on: “4 Eva.” All timer.

4. Russian Mob Tattoos – Eastern Promises (2007)

These are arguably the best part of this movie. They’re certainly the most memorable. Well, these and that move where Viggo pokes himself in the neck all angry like. Still not really sure what that means. Seriously though, these are some of the most purely badass tattoos ever put to film. It makes it even cooler that they are all based off actual Russian mobsters.

Nothing like Eastern European gangsters to make you feel like a real pussy. Bonus points for the scene where they tattoo the stars onto his kneecaps so he can prove his devotion. I’m gonna go ahead and assume that hurt real, real bad. I got a hangnail once.

3. Leonard Shelby’s Memories – Memento (2000)

Alright, so this is kind of going back on what I said in the beginning of this post, because these tattoos are actually the entirety of the character’s backstory (or so he thinks. 12 year old spoiler alert. Sorry.), and pretty much the only thing he knows in the whole wide world. It’s a brilliant little conceit really: Leonard is nothing more than the things on his body.

I find it humorous (in a good way) that Leonard would make sure that, in addition to being informative, the tattoos also looked really cool. Because why just have a stupid little list on your thigh when you can also have “FIND HIM AND KILL HIM” in giant Old English lettering at an angle across your chest. Bonus points for the mirror tattoos.

2. The Big One – From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)

Now I know what you’re saying: really? It’s just a humongous tribal tattoo. What, do you miss the 90s or something? First of all, yes, and second of all if you’ve seen the movie (you have seen this movie right?) then you’ll know that the key to this tattoos awesomeness is the manner of its revelation. You see, we never get a real look at Clooney’s giant art until the very, very end.

The whole movie you see just the hints of it, poking up through his collar and then down by his wrist. But after I while you just sort of forget about that, especially since it’s Clooney and even when he’s saying “fuck” a lot and shooting vampire’s he still seems charming, dapper, and very classic movie star-esque. But then, just as shit wraps up, he doffs his blazer and you realize the entire left side of his body is completely covered in black flames. Possibly the best visual reveal in the whole movie. And that’s saying something.

1. LOVE/HATE – The Night of The Hunter (1955)

I’m not sure there had been a really memorable movie tattoo before Robert Mitchum’s hand art in The Night of The Hunter, and I really don’t think there’s been any to surpass them in the 57 years since. They’re cool looking (who doesn’t like hand tats amirite? Y’know who? Communists), they mean something, and the fact that they’re on a preacher (preacher/serial killer, but who’s counting) makes them even more memorable.

Plus they contribute to the above image, one of the more iconic snapshots of 50s cinema that I can conjure up. So those are my High Five. There were some I left out (like Max Cady’s at the top of the post) but I wanna know what you’re favorites are.

The Мишка Tattoo Crew Gets Two Larger!

Friday, April 20th, 2012

Nothing warms my cold cold dairy heart more than when our fans show us that true thug love by getting a Мишка mascot tattooed on them for perpetuity. The ranks of the crew are already vast and varied, and it’s just been made even larger by these two awesome entries. The first one was done all the way back at SxSW, and it’s a bitchin’ Simon Skull taking up some serious real estate on the calf of Jordy from the Frenchkiss Label Group.

This thing was done at Austin’s True Blue Tattoo it looks great. This next one is a real stunner as well, with some seriously bold placement. That’s right: this dude got a sinister looking Death Adder plastered right across his hand. Now that’s commitment! This one comes all the way from Poland and that super hand is attached to Radoslaw Raga Nierychlo, a drummer and all around badass. The tat was done by Bazyl at Tribaz Studio. Thanks to both you Mopsters, the ink looks ill!

Tatted Up With That Smilin’ Bear Mop

Monday, February 20th, 2012

Happy holidays hetero life-mates! What is it even? President’s Day? I’m terrible at remembering that shit. Well, whatever it is, there’s no better way to celebrate it than with another addition to the Mishka Tattoo Club, one of the most exclusive, prestigious, and powerful groups in the whole wide world. You wanna be a part? Get that ink happening homie!

This fine number above, feature the walking talking Bear Mop that first premiered on the Anthropo-mop-ic design comes from Adrian Foody (real name?), and damn does it look nice. That grinning bastard will take any limb to the next level. Thanks for showing your support Adrian, we see you out there dog!

Shark Themed Butthole Tattoo. That’s Pretty Much It.

Tuesday, January 24th, 2012

The thing about this is… I mean if you really… It’s not that it’s a bad tat- okay I mean aesthetically of course it’s not great but I mean the artistry… of the butthole tattoo. I’m sure she had a really good reason to get this tattoo on her butt. Of a shark vomiting out another shark. Whose mouth is this girl’s butthole. Maybe not.

The dude who did this is a real asshole. See what I did there? Because, y’know, he ruined this person’s life but also the canvas of the tattoo is her… and then also the spreading of the… thing. I like how they tried to censor this with (strangely shaped?) black spots. I think I need to go take a nap… right after I claw my own eyes out. Shouts(?) to Toilet Cobra for finding the most disturbing thing I’ve put on the Bloglin.

First Drake, Now This! Girl Tattoos KANYE On Her Ass!

Wednesday, January 11th, 2012

I thought it was pretty crazy when I got Kanye’s name tattooed on my inner bicep, but this woman sure as hell showed me up. Kanyeresa West, as she recently changed her name to, got Kanye’s name tattooed flat across her rump. She’s gunning for that girl who got Drake’s name tattooed on her forehead with this one.

Ladies, please; there’s room enough in this world for both of you to be irresponsibly obsessive.

At least she had the piece of mind not to get the tatt on her forehead. Well, maybe that’s giving her too much credit. It’s really going to be a shame if she doesn’t marry Kanye, as she intends, and instead some other guy is emasculated throughout their entire marriage.

In the video up top, DJ Moon Dawg asks Kanyeresa what she thinks of people that say she’s crazy.  “I say that they don’t know Kanye.” I’d say that you don’t know Kanye, Miss.

“Until he say ‘You’re crazy,’ or until he gets married, I’m gonna keep going.” Really? Does it have to be Kanye who says you’re crazy? I’m sure there are a number of other people willing to diagnose you as such. Oh well.

The Мишка tattoo club grows one member larger. Congratulations to Forrest Schoenleber (AKA @StayAurum) on his entry into the fold with his brand new dope Keep Watch tat in the classic blue n’ red colorway.

He joins the like of Steve Nunes, Greg Mishka, Luis Dubuc, Ryan Gosling, Captain America, the alien from Cloverfield, Newt Gingrich, that one guy from 98° (y’know, that one. With the face?), Alton Brown, Sonya Blade, Richard Kind, and the Teletubby Noo-Noo as part of this most illustrious of clubs. Go get a Мишка tat and you can be too!

Pizza Power: Someone Finally Gets a Kill With Power Tattoo!!!

Friday, November 25th, 2011

I love the Kill With Power face. He’s my favorite of our icons. How can you not love his sinister yet lovable grin? You know that whatever you slap that face onto it’ll be up to no good and having a blast doing it.

KWP is also like the “Butters” of our cast of characters. Criminally unappreciated! But clearly Jersey’s Christopher Gareffa does indeed appreciate the malevolent bliss that is Kill With Power, or he wouldn’t have gotten him permanently etched into his body. Chris opted for a version of KWP from our old Holiday 20o8 Exotica collection, but gave it his own cheese and sauce filled twist by making the KWP triangular body a slice of pizza. Mmm mmmmm!
