Bionic Ink

I recently met a fellow named Shannon through facebook and he shared his amazing 70's toylove body art with me. Above is his tribute to the Kenner Bionic Man doll.

The Marx Green Machine was the stuff of legend where I grew up, every kid wanted one.

It all ends with this brilliant tribute to Kenner's Smash Up Derby. My thanks to Shannon for sharing these, tattoo's and 70's toys make sense considering Dr. Steel was the first action figure with one.

That's super funny you say that. I was interviewed by the newspaper several years ago about tattooing and when asked about how I became interested in it, I launched into a big explanation of Dr. Steel and his chest tattoo and what a bad-*ss he was and his huge influence on me... lead balloon, bewildered stares... confused reporter that suddenly found himself with a dead end to his questions... I liked it a bunch.

And for 70's toy(and mego!) tattoos you have to check out some of Dave Waugh's stuff. He runs the great innerspaceonline.com micronauts site, and gives much tattoo love to the micronaut gang.
