Me Lold

I was looking at tattoos and I came across this example... I decided to post it not so much because I like it or dislike it, but because I think it is amusing and actually quite a clever concept. It's one of those images that you call someone to come look at it too.
It is such a huge back piece and there is such a lot going on that one could stare at it for ages and still see new things. There is a human at the bottom of the piece who is getting pulled apart and he is all contorted trying to get away from the minions. At the top right there is a skull that has been created with the river and the space ships. This looks like a piece of paradise. The main creature in the centre of the back looks like he is in command to some extent - he is the biggest and strongest of the minions and is also wearing some device on his back.
Lastly, the is the back of the mans head that he has turned into the face of an alien. What I like about this is how this head appears to be above the skyline, above the clouds. This concept is used often in religious portrayals. Since the creature makes up the back of the mans head, one wonders if the man intended to be making a statement of his own status. I also really enjoy the mans ears, it makes me lol.
