Got some Grateful Dead tattoos? – im interested. After getting my sixth GD related tattoo I realized how much I LOVE Grateful Dead art/ink/interpretation/reflection/love and wanted to start a little creative project for my fellow GD tattoo lovers. I have seen a lot of dead art around these parts and would love to be emailed the image to post on my new website (to be published this week or next) Grateful-Ink.com. I am working on it when i can around a child turning five. ha! if you know of others, let them know too – send them the email to send me some inkness : Gratefullyinked@grateful-ink.com

So, if you have one/lots - let me have em!!!! PM me if you want to email me a photo (a clear one preferred! ha) and would love also to have you include your name, the tattooist (or state/city/universe) and when, how, why, where you got the tattoo. Would love a collage of Grateful Dead art to look at daily to let my inspiration flow….and would love a place where other heads can go to smile and see what others have adorned their body with

thanks everyone for making this so fun.

I don't have an Dead Ink, but I got Tyler this killer book for Christmas - it's full of gorgeous artwork:

(The above link on Amazon has a great selection of pages from inside the book)

Maybe good for the inspiration? Anyways, we really enjoy the book.

my youngest brothers both have lightning bolts- here's one He got his in NYC somewhere.

my arm- the bears were a re-ink from a home scratcher by a pro. done on the jersey shore- they look weirdly bizarre and alien- which is fine with me.

Nothing fancy.... I got this tattoo right after Jerry passed away... I just needed something to carry with me at the time... Tom Constanten lives near me here in Charlotte and I used to bump into him all the time at my local grocery store... Well one day a year ago or so I showed it to him... He simply says " wow... Thats a commitment"

Do you have to keep shaving your leg?
