Barnumbia has cool style sometimes.

Upon wandering into Barnumbia’s campus, the tattoos are immediately evident.

Some trends:

There seems to be a theme of tricep-area tattoos. Other popular placements include shins, calves, and hands.

Tattoos of text!

Blackwork. There is not an abundance of color in the Barnumbia tattoo scene.

Stick-and-pokes. Many tattoos on campus are self-created through hand-poking. One of the stick-and-pokes featured below is mine, and I did it in honor of Louis Tomlinson of One Direction when I was 14. His symbol is a smiley-face, but now everyone thinks my tat represents Dream. I think it is a masterpiece.

Grandmas. Two pieces featured below are of grandmas. Yay, grandmas!

Consensus:

Barnumbia students may be cooler than past assumption.
