Wild Ink at the International London Tattoo Convention

The International London Tattoo Convention takes place this weekend, featuring some of the most outlandish designs inked on bodies worldwide.

Extreme tattoo enthusiasts are even implanting silicon gel pods into their hands, arms and legs to add a three-dimensional effect.

“Um, lady, there is something growing under your skin on the back of your hand!”

“Calm down, son, it’s my silicone rendition of a giraffe eating a snake while playing the trumpet.”

Wild tattoos abound here.

At press time, some of the rumored tattoos that might appear included:

-Kanye West featuring a complete tattoo of his “College Dropout” CD cover on his back with the slogan, “When I peaked.”

-Elon Musk with a tattoo of a rocket crashing to earth with the Latin Slogan, “Ere Upter Unum SEC,” which means “I should have taken the SEC seriously.”

-The USA golf Ryder Cup team, currently being spanked by the Europeans at Le Golf Club in France, will appear at the convention, each sporting tattoos of captain Jim Furyk holding his face in his hands. The inscription below reads, “Tiger? What happened? You just won the Tour Championship!”
