Typeface appears to be League Gothic, from the League of Movable Type.  You can get it, and a bunch of other awesome free fonts from their website.
fuckyeahtattoos:

The answer to life’s many questions. Especially such classics as: What’s the meaning of life? What happens when we die? Are we there yet? What’s for dinner?It’s also a song lyric from a song of the same name by the wonderful band Local Natives. The song always struck a chord with me.
It’s also my first tattoo and a nice phrase to live by. Because we should all live a more carefree life. Or something like that.
Done by Andrew Green at Precise Piercing & Tattoo in Newington, CT. He’s great, this piece doesn’t justify his skills whatsoever.

Another Hoefler Italic ampersand similar to this one posted a while back.  This one happens to be a bold alternative character.

This is my own personal tattoo on my left forearm. The shape and layout of the word yggdrasil was taken from the book, House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. Yggdrasil is the name of the Norse world tree and the thing that really made me attracted to this was the fact that the way Mark setup the word also made the whole thing resemble the shape of a tree.

“Disappear here” quote from Bret Easton Ellis: Less Than Zero
Typeface Lobster 1.4

C’mon Peter, we could use a better picture.  It is about the type, after all.
