You may not be so enamored by the creature-feature creative crescendo of fantasy movies from the 60s, 70s and 80s that you’d get your favorite characters from them permanently inked on your arm, but according to the Richard 'Bez' Beston Labyrinth tattoo spotted this week, some are.
Caroline Stanley found the photo of this fantasy-inspired tattoo through what could have only been an exausting search across the mystic seas of all the Internets. In her article on Flavorwire, Stanley shows what some particularly devoted fans can do, encapsulated in an incredible 'Labyrinth' tattoo worn by Phil Garner and inked by Bez of Triplesix Studios in the UK.
Another highlight is Michael Ende’s Neverending Story tat: a tapestry of bright colors that bring to life what is clearly so vital, he needed to see it every day.
