Frank's Anvil

When someone is "not sure" how many tattoos they have, the one they do offer up can seem a bit random.<br /><br />Take Frank, for example, who volunteered this anvil for us here at Tattoosday:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWGhgua-clySrhpdsijpJbWDBCEnDj4uUcU7FTnOVPSsOvo5lk79AL9G5Pf2rz7_ZGL1m4NVojieF_HGv7V9ifIbl8jFsB6PR_1o01kwjNHdgE6b7tDYMlggHqMMl7J2Lh0rTbq6Gy/s1600/acme+wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="296" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWGhgua-clySrhpdsijpJbWDBCEnDj4uUcU7FTnOVPSsOvo5lk79AL9G5Pf2rz7_ZGL1m4NVojieF_HGv7V9ifIbl8jFsB6PR_1o01kwjNHdgE6b7tDYMlggHqMMl7J2Lh0rTbq6Gy/s320/acme+wm.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />Why an anvil? "I'm a big <a href="http://looneytunes.kidswb.com/interstitials/">Looney Tunes</a> fan," he told me. The anvil, falling from great heights, is often a cartoon catalyst for one of those big expanding bumps on the head of say, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wile_E._Coyote_and_Road_Runner">Wile E. Coyote</a>, for example. Thus the name on the anvil, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acme_Corporation">ACME</a>, which was said coyote's chief supplier of items designed to aid in the capture of the Roadrunner.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRK9BfbSA-a4t4xI-nfnbaIwoPYaUvVUrpIUmczed9FYnlTNWMWmXHwtgx1yOzRslxXmPa9d6XRymkfcJD4vSEtZckn_wI2QhW9aXUGs8rYoTxuCuslNsm3PrPb_rdHU_ftKP9R6Qt/s1600/Acme_anvil.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="269" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRK9BfbSA-a4t4xI-nfnbaIwoPYaUvVUrpIUmczed9FYnlTNWMWmXHwtgx1yOzRslxXmPa9d6XRymkfcJD4vSEtZckn_wI2QhW9aXUGs8rYoTxuCuslNsm3PrPb_rdHU_ftKP9R6Qt/s320/Acme_anvil.gif" width="320" /></a></div><br />This particular piece was inked by Jae Connor at <a href="http://www.electriclotustattoo.com/">Electric Lotus Tattoo</a> in Boonton, New Jersey.
