Entry No. 12 — the Boise file — filed under: oddities

Born Weird Tattoo & Free Museum

Idaho's self-proclaimed largest tattoo and piercing studio doubles as a free, no-appointment curiosity museum set inside a converted old diner with a glowing retro neon sign out front. Inside, the walls and cases are packed with oddball sculptures, original paintings, and curiosities; out front sits a roughly six-foot welded eyeball the owner cheekily dubbed "Idaho's largest." You don't need any ink to wander in and look around during open hours (daily from noon).

The move: Drop in to gawk at the free museum, then dare each other to pick out the tattoo flash you'd theoretically get.
