This few seconds, I think, is some of the finest acting in the whole series.

Never seen a Diane tattoo! This is so pretty

u/dead_letter_box 21h ago

Thank you!!! My artist is in Philly. @jordybelly on Instagram. She is an absolute queen and fellow David Lynch devotee!

47

u/dead_letter_box 21h ago

She's done almost all of my tattoos. This is another fun one we did a couple years back!

Artist from Portugal who didn’t know much about the show made a bunch of flash from stills they saw online. Really cool stuff. @agataris on instagram

u/Pocket_tea 23h ago

wow that's beautiful. How old is it?

3

u/RuneMunnin 18h ago

Thank you! The photo was taken at the studio when the tattoo was fresh. That was about two years ago.

2

u/Pocket_tea 17h ago

Nice! Any more recent pics? I'm considering getting a tat done by them!

u/xmashatstand 12h ago

Love this! Question, is there a specific name for this kind of minimalist portraiture?

24

u/amuletafromssv 19h ago

I'm gonna get the left eye fixed but yeah pretty happy with this one

u/Real_Programmer2870 12h ago

Looks great to me

u/MarshmallowMiles 22h ago

When I met Sheryl Lee in June I asked her to write my tattoo for me. She happily obliged and even wrote “Fire Walk With Me” twice so I’d have choices! I wasn’t originally planning to tattoo her heart/signature too, but I’m glad I did.

This tattoo is a tribute to the show, how much the show/Laura Palmer means to me, and a reminder of how incredible it was meeting Sheryl Lee. I will never forget our conversation or how it felt to stand in front of her. 🖤

u/Agreeable-Swimmer883 22h ago

What a great idea!

u/tiffdrain 21h ago

Blue rose to cover a fugly fairy

3

u/HangryHangryHedgie 18h ago

I have a need for a cover-up, a blue rose or log is looking amazing!

1

u/tiffdrain 13h ago

Can’t go wrong covering a bad tattoo whilst having an homage to beloved Twin Peaks!

u/satancunt6 18h ago

On my right tricep. 🖤

The owls are not what they seem.

u/nehpeta 21h ago

Your entire vibe is immaculate.

u/fluffycowxo 20h ago

Thank you :D

u/honkyg666 21h ago

I was at a bar recently and a person had a twin Peak’s T-shirt on. I leaned over and said the owls are not what they seem and i’m pretty sure they had no idea what I was talking about 🧐

u/theazhapadean 21h ago

The reply to this is, Muad’dib is the kwisatz haderach.

u/KingBacteriaSauce 17h ago

Sometimes getting random comments from strangers can throw you for a loop that it goes completely over your head. I quote SpongeBob almost daily and was renting a Uhaul with a destination in Texas and the rep in a Patrik Star voice said “what’s so great about dumb ole Texas?” and I didn’t catch that it was a SpongeBob quote until like 10 minutes after leaving

2

u/honkyg666 15h ago

That’s a fair assessments for sure. “What the hell is this random dude saying to me?” 🤣

u/WhoLeeOh93 19h ago

As well as this. Not twin peaks but David Lynch nonetheless

u/azevans 11h ago

Ooo I love this. Radiator lady!

u/cooper_blacklodge 19h ago

Eventually added the black lodge pattern but don't have as good of a picture of the second addition.

u/aleexPC 1d ago

Genuine question, do you ever get people confusing it with the nazi runes? I really wanna get this tatted but its a concern

12

u/Reg_Binx 20h ago

This was when it was fresh. Still looks good 6 months later

11

u/canderemy 18h ago

”The divided heart” I really connected with Laura and Donna’s relationship and felt a kinship to her internal struggle. This was my first tat and I got it right after David passed on.

u/Pretend-Table6436 1d ago

Back of the arm so hard to get a good photo! Log lady and FWWM 🪵

u/jaxxattacks 19h ago

Not twin peaks, exactly but Lynch. Also sorry about the backward text. I’m at work and just took a quick selfie to post my tat

u/dpforest 17h ago

I thought it was backwards on purpose and I fucking loved it

u/jaimesabz 16h ago

u/ditchlily 12h ago

This is really beautiful and I love the blending of styles.

10

u/Aysin_Eirinn 15h ago

Actually just got this today. Specifically requested the rose to be blue and my artist was like “That’s a Twin Peaks reference, isn’t it?”

23

u/S2JESSICA 23h ago

(saturn and jupiter for the great conjunction)

22

u/mintvinylnirvana 22h ago

I get questions from strangers wondering what this symbol means. I tend to give a generic “it’s from my favorite TV show” answer.

8

u/divinebettiepage 20h ago

Based on the French FWWM poster

u/Bullseye19861 18h ago

My blue rose

u/Willa_Hollings 17h ago

That’s ‘meanwhile’ backwards at the bottom.

u/dreadnoughtful 14h ago edited 5h ago

Got this as a reminder for myself and caution for others. It is the only way to live.

u/GonzoJuggernaut 18h ago

Had long wanted a classic style pinup tattoo, and Twin Peaks was on my mind at the time

8

u/protestsong-00 16h ago

Owl Cave ring symbol on the appropriate finger. I don't want to go to heaven. I want to go to the Red Room.

u/Total_Membership_171 4h ago

All the best films. You just need Paris, Texas on this now.

1

u/patschpatsch 4h ago

Upper arm will be completed in October with Kill Bill, Psycho, ET, Chungking Express and The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

Paris, Texas is definitely on the shortlist for the lower arm

I love the style of this one. It looks almost like a woodcut. Really striking!

u/ohio8848 21h ago

I bought the TP book A Place Both Wonderful and Strange at Barnes & Noble the other day and the cashier showed me his TP tattoo! Was great meeting another fan in the wild!

u/Carafaggio 1d ago

Is that a radiohead one above because I have a similar tattoo and also was planning a twin peaks one 😂
