Mickey Rourke and Sylvester Stallone Bond Over Ink in New Expendables Photo
Sensitive viewers who were more than a little overwhelmed by both Mickey Rourke's tattooed, mechanized Iron Man 2 villain and Sylvester Stallone's tattooed, almost-as-mechanized hero from The Expendables can relax a bit today. A new photo from the latter film reveals the duo's more tender side-- just a couple of average guys sharing their love of huge muscles, huger dragons and the body art that brings them together.
This is the kind of down moment I was anticipating from Stallone's mercenary thriller all along, other new shots of which feature even Jason Statham in a kind of cheerful action-hero repose. More like this please, fellas -- though Sly might harsh the buzz a tad by requesting his artist wear sterile gloves. You never know where those hands have been.

Someone, somewhere is masturbating to this photo. I just hope to God I never meet that someone and never visit that somewhere.
Sly, lay off the juice, you're looking as veiny and bulgy as Madonna.
I am soooooo not clicking on the "where those hands have been" link.
Reminds me of the line from 8mm. "There are some things you can't unsee".
Off to pluck out mine eyes.
Tango and Rash
It might not be the best idea to get a tattoo from a fully grown man dressed like a ten year old cowboy. But then again if you look like a geriatric drag queen, I guess you'd just cancel each other out.
Hey, I see your Avatar avatar. Nice.
At least Rourke isn't wearing that homemade-looking Iron Man 2 costume while he's inking Sly. Now that would be creepy.
