INKEDblog takes you beneath the skin of today's tattoo culture. Our mission is to celebrate tattooing as a modern art form which incorporates art, fashion, style, and pop culture. While paying homage and respect to the past, we look to present a contemporary take on the present and future of skin art.

Rev. Fish's Clive Barker Tat

clivebtat.jpgLast week we asked if any of you have a tattoo of a celebrity autograph. Over the weekend we received the following email from Rev. Fish:

"Hey, my name is Fish. I am a tattoo artist in South Florida and I have not only a celebrity autograph tattooed on my arm but a drawing he did as well. I met Clive Barker in 1998 and he autographed my arm as well as drawing an original piece in an open space which I proceeded to have both of them inked."

Fish writes on the Clive Barker site:

"My portrait of Clive represents my creativity. Clive is a multi-talented individual who has thrived at all of his endeavors, and that is what I aspire to as well. I currently draw, paint, tattoo professionally, make music, DJ, and have recently started writing fiction.

The devil face (which I consider an interpretation of Lude) and Clive's autograph were drawn directly on my skin by Clive at the Galilee reading at the National Press Club in Washington DC. He loved my ink, insisted that it be on the site, and was more than happy to help add to it. So I lucked out and I now have a Clive Barker original that I can never lose, and I got for free at that LOL."
