Map Tatoos

As you all know, I love maps. However, my love for maps does have its limits. For example I do not love maps so much as to tattoo one permanently on my body. These cartophiles take their love for maps to the next level...

UPDATE 5/6: Anyedge says, "I have a robinson projection of the whole globe on my left deltoid"

Thanks for the pic. Any other Carto-Tattoo-philes with photos to share?

Also, I removed the Sao Paulo "tattoo"... see comments.

    Hate to be a bummer, but that map of Sao Paolo on the guy's back is not real. I clicked over to Hand Drawn Map Association and it says "Fernanda created this image by printing a map of Sao Paulo onto a photo of someone's back."

    You can also tell if you look at the top of the map near his head and shoulders.

    Thanks! I should have caught that.

    The post was getting over-long anyway... so out you go, Sao Paulo!
