The artwork on this site is so spectacular, I just had  to run it bigger than the usual thumbnail.

I stumbled across this site while following a link, from another link from ... well, you get the idea.

The samples of aviation-themed tattoos is just amazing! This B-17 rib piece just jumps off the page at you. There are other tats of planes as well as some fascinating black and white portraits.

The sites' owner states:

I am a pilot, and I am tattooed.

That statement itself is a bit of a paradox in the mind of many aviation and pilot folks out there.  By nature, the hobby and career attracts conservatively-minded people who may never consider tattoos as a form of expression.

If you have any interest in aviation or tattoos, or both, you really do owe yourself a a trip to this site!
