am terribly in love with Gary's tattoo. never get bored by looking at it over and over again. first noticed it on Running Man ep 95 (near the end of the episode), but just found out that he already had this since around last june.

just look at the details. i could just reach out and break it like a plank. 
INSANE SHIT-

"A jangseung or village guardian is a Korean totem pole usually made of wood. Jangseungs were traditionally placed at the edges of villages to mark for village boundaries and frighten away demons. They were also worshipped as village tutelary deities.

Although commonly known as Jangseung in standard Korean, these "totem poles" also are known as Beoksu (Yeongnam), Harabeoji or Halmeoni (Honam), and Hareubang; variations of the form exist in province to province with no real standard set height, facial features, construction methodology, or standard set materials."
