How to Make a Russian Prison Tattoo

Too lazy to write his senior-year anthropology paper on Russian prison tattooing, a college student actually gathers the ingredients and inks himself on video. He does it relatively authentically, including making the ink out of boot leather and urine. The vid’s 12 minutes long but worth the watch – the dude’s (shockingly) got a Steve-O vibe and it was even more entertaining than I expected. One of my favorite moments was when he said he wanted to get a crown tattoo and his colleague Dr. Science said that would turn him into a Russian prison “rape toilet.”
