To be honest, I've never understood the attraction of tats.  Why would anyone want some image on them peremenantly.  At least this shows far more imagination than most of those I have seen, which are banal and ugly.

Some are nearly photo-perfect, where others look like a child's drawing.
I'm glad there is a resurgence of interest in typewriters, but this seems a little too trendy to me. They will be blurry reminders of their impetuous youth 50 years from now.
