What it doesn’t do worth a damn, however, is preserve original source information.<\/p>\n
So, I found this<\/a> lovely tattoo on a tattoo<\/a> pinboard, and I’d love to give you more information about the artist, but it’s credited to “Tumblr” and that is not exactly useful.<\/p>\n Searching phrases like haunted house tattoo<\/a> or haunted mansion tattoo<\/a> turns up some great designs (and also a neat site called Check Out My Ink<\/a>), but this one doesn’t seem to be in evidence.<\/p>\n In summary: Poop.<\/p>\n Anyway, I think this is lovely and wish I could tell you more about it. I really like the creepy tree and the gothic-looking tombstones, and am curious whether it ends at the haunted house or extends further along her back. If a tat of this size wouldn’t win me an instant divorce, something similar would definitely be at the top of my wish list.<\/p>\n Update:<\/b> Jessica, whose Google-fu clearly exceeds mine, tracked down the original photo here<\/a>. It’s a self-portrait by Stephanie May, a photographer<\/a> in Nashville. Still no information on the tattoo artist, but if you’re in the Nashville area I suppose you could go ask her.
