The tattoo work is great, Baxter is one of better ink slingers on the east coast (plus he did shirt designs for the band With Honor). I do agree with Stephanie though, from the various images I've seen of these pieces they don't seem to tie in well together for the sleeve they're for. But then again, the photos are usually of the individual pieces rather than the incomplete whole. Wait... just checked out Baxter's site and its the whole pieces, but I personally don't think they're tied in well together...
i just wanted to clarify that i really do like the IDEA of an eames chair tattoo, but...
maybe i would just like a line drawing type tattoo.
not to say that i can't appreciate the quality of an ink job. it's just personal preference.
now, show me a sleeve composed of hot ladies lounging in these chairs!

An Eames Chair Tattoo
Via Boing Boing:
Tattoo artist Nick Baxter has done some beautiful needle-and-ink renderings of designer chairs.
Original article, at Design Boom:
body beautiful ? furniture design tattoo !
Nice work, except the leather on the Mies chairs looks more like red velour.
Wow! The wood is reflected in the steel and all.
Nerdy. Quite nerdy. I hope these are well hidden until the 7th date.
really horrid
i think this is one of those things that "looks good on paper"
but what do i know, i have yet to see them in the flesh.
very funny stephanie!
go for a t-shirt instead.
beautifully done. A little too cuckoo for my taste though.

WITH HONOR!
i love the overtly banal tattoo; you'll regret anything you get anyway, so chairs and potatoes are open game.
JP: knew you'd be the only person to pick up on that
