Seen a Cool Tattoo Lately?

This Kid Probably Did It.

Fast becoming a fixture among the city's dermally decorated elite, 21-year-old tattoo artist Danny LaFace has inked his life- and death-themed designs on a bevy of local hotshots, including the Celtics' Gabe Pruitt (a skull with a crown and wings) and the Revolution's Shalrie Joseph (a skull with Joseph's signature dreadlocks). This month, LaFace, who does his booking via MySpace, Facebook, and cell phone, will art his most high-profile canvases to date: Paul Pierce's beefy frame and Fantastic Four star Chris Evans's photogenic chest. As the saying goes, a little branding muscle goes a long way.
