Jon Phillips is the guy who let his tattoo artist friend talk him into getting a BIG ol’ face tattoo of…wait…wait…OK, RIFF RAFF! Right in the center of his forearm. In you didn’t know who Riff Raff was, he’s a silly a** character of a clown who got his start on MTV on the show called, “Gs to Gents.” Check out the response that Riff Raff gave XXL Mag when asked, how he felt about a fan getting a tattoo of his face: “To like my music you have to be not a normal public civilian pedestrian. If you understand and are in the same thought realm as I, a tattoo of ink of my face on the skin is a minor detail in the overall original kaleidoscope of flustered complexity. The dream producer themself who got the tattoo got not only Jody Highroller, but a symbol of neon deep dreamy thoughts producing within one’s mind.” Silly guy, right? Drop down bottom for the tattoo and the interview Jon and Mike (tattoo artist) gave. JaaiR (JR)

NEVER Get Him/Her Tattooed On You… This Is Why!!!
I bet you hear it all the time, oh you’re in love and you’re going to get his/her name tattooed on you, DON’T DO IT!! Yet, there are those souls completely in love that walk or drive to the tattoo shop and request their lover’s name to permanently be placed on their bodies, thinking that their love will last as long as their tattoo. Yea right, then you wake up and he/she left you and you’re stuck with their name on you, what do you do now? Cover it up is the first option, but what if it is a portrait? That’s exactly what the infamous tattoo artist, Kat Von D did , she tattooed her ex boyfriend’s face on her! As covered as she is in tattoos she could not live with his childhood portrait on him, guess what she did. Hit the jump Steph B

(Video) Artist Creates Paintings With Her Vomit
As I was perusing some sites, I ran across this artist Millie Brown. She isn’t your typical paint brush type of artist instead she uses her mouth as a way to paint. Let me explain … Millie Brown swallows dyed soy milk and then vomits the colorful milk onto a canvas. Yes, she vomits her arts and her paintings aren’t cheap! I don’t even understand how she can constantly make herself throw up in order to create a puke painting, but watch as she drinks her concoction and does her thing. Hit the jump Steph B
