When I started researching Banksy Tattos, I thought it would be a bit of a struggle - but I was SO wrong.
It appears having tattoos inspired by Banksy's graffiti is actually very common. If you got one thinking you would have something ‘different’ then sorry to burst your bubble!
I think the tattoo with the wall detail behind it is massively over egging the pudding, on all fronts!
My dirty little secret is that I have a street art tattoo myself. I have a Pure Evil Bunny, or should I say Pure Evil Bummy (no, you can’t see a picture).
