Tattoo Subject: Goonies

Contributed by Vana Glory

If anyone knows me, you know I’m a pretty big movie fan.  I’m sure it stemmed from family movie nights in my early childhood – driving to Jumbo Video, trying to find something my mother hadn’t seen yet (which usually seemed impossible, even if she really hadn’t seen it), getting home, running to the kitchen to air-pop bowls of popcorn, grabbing glasses and 2L bottles of Diet Coke, making our way to the living room like the Simpsons for our in-home entertainment experience. Ever since then I’ve made movies a daily part of my life, meaning you’ll be seeing a lot of great movies tattoos in my posts, along with some amazing television shows (mostly cartoons).

I begin this trend with The Goonies, a movie that always seems to pull on the heartstrings of our inner child.  I know it kept me on my toes right up to it’s ridiculously happy, good-karma ending where we watched the Goonies reunite with their families and then Mikey’s maid finding his marble bag, full of jewels from the ship, worth enough to save everyone’s homes! 😀 And who didn’t fall in love with Sloth just a little with his heroic display!

The following tattoos are on people who have felt the same things we did watching this movie and wanted to commemorate the movie by finding an amazing artist and having them create some of the most amazing tattoos I’ve seen on this topic.

If there’s ever a movie, show, game, book, comic or character you’d like me to find and post some great pieces on just leave a comment and I’ll look into it for you!  ^_^
