Oh my, these bullet hole and wound tattoos are totally messed up and wrong on every level. Striking and unusual but also just plain wrong.
I am sure having a permanent ‘bullet hole’ or open wound is meant to be very ironic but just seems plain old crazy to me. I mean the guy who has a black eye as a tattoo--what is that about?
Style issues aside, these tattoos are the most realistic ones I have seen around for a while. You really have to look close to realize they are inked and not made from special effects makeup.
