Bukowski tattoos

No, sorry. It's an inside joke: The original drawing IS by Bukowski, but some time ago, we had the case of someone faking this. Or maybe I'm wrong and it was just a similar Buk-woman. You know, the one from 'Women's lib'.
I guess someone like hanksolo can link to the thread. He finds everything.
But anyway, questioning the authenticity of drawings or signatures has a long tradition here - and usually the first impression of a fraud turns out to be right. There are a couple of real experts here. And this time I didn't mean it ironic.

That tattoo really gets me wondering even more about the authenticity of the quote. The signature looks good enough, implying that she (or the tattooer) most likely have seen Bukowski's real signature somewhere, possibly under the real quote. Furthermore, the lines are divided in a manner reminiscent to Buk's, which perhaps could mean that it actually is from one of his poems, even though nothing comes up when searching the database. I have know idea where this amateurish detective work is going, but I thought I'd share it with you anyways.
Lots more lady Bukowski tattoos....

I've been waiting to get a portrait of Bukowski tattooed on me for a while. The waiting list for the artist I'm using is crazy. Close to a year. In the meantime, what portrait should I use? I'm torn between 3. I'm not going to post what ones until I see what people suggest. Curious.
The artist who is doing it is named Jamie MacKay. He's from Harve Boucher which is in Nova Scotia - where I'm from. I already have a portrait of my other hero, Cobain. He's on my music thigh. Buk is going on the other.
Here is my Cobain for those interested:

I'm not trying to be a dick - I really do love the Canadian people as a race or a species or whatever you are - but I never understood why really hairy people got tattoos. The mind boggles at what that tattoo must look like most of the time. Probably a lot like that picture of bigfoot in the forest...you know the one.
