Before Kirk Wallace’s father passed away from cancer and heart issues on January 11th, he mentioned to Kirk that when he got better he wanted to get a tattoo of crop circles on his arm. Kirk responded something along the lines of, ‘Well if you don’t, I’ll take care of it, don’t worry.’ – and so he did!
Hit the jump to see photos of Kirk’s process for designing the tattoo to honor his Dad.

President Obama told “Today Show” anchor Savannah Guthrie that he and the first lady have a strategy to discourage their daughters from ever getting tattoos.
“If you guys ever decided you’re going to get a tattoo, then mommy and me will get the exact same tattoo, in the same place. And we’ll go on YouTube and show it off as a family tattoo. And our thinking is that might dissuade them from thinking that somehow that’s a good way to rebel,” the President said.
We think Sasha and Malia should call the President’s bluff. ;]

From the Author:
Inspired is an artistic and journalistic project about tattooing.
Inspired takes an active interest in the individual and gives a unique perspective on what it means to be tattooed today.
The project aims to explore the psychological dimensions related to this singular art by emphasizing the creative process.
Tattooing is a matter of experiences and emotions. Inspired recants the experiences that have motivated these choices and highlights the diverse artistic influences behind them.
Animated by a very personal aesthetic, Inspired promotes tattooing as an art and as a visual identity in constant evolution.
Tattooing is a way of life, and those who follow it give insights into their world through interviews, photographs and videos, realized in partnership with BIIMPROD.
