A scratcher has set up shop in my hometown, and has some pretty awesome examples of his work so far.





I spent longer than I'd care to admit trying to figure out what was going on anatomically with the second one.

It's really faded, but it looks like a very sad panther.

e: Perhaps it is distressed at accidentally walking in on the other panther getting out of the shower.

Looks like a panther as well, done in the style of a mascot. The mouth is where the left paw is and eyes right above that. In fact, the coverup is pretty much the same, just with a body and less terrible, not that it means much.

EDIT: Yeah, that has got to be based on a school mascot:

It means that it'll take an even bigger panther or other wild cat to cover up this one.

She apparently has some self image problems if she believes that she needs to suck in that much. Wonder if she's got muffin top because her pants are tied too tightly and she's mistaking that for being fat. Girlgoon here, and I miss not being fat.

This shop is located in Colorado, but there are still a shocking number of tattoos on the page with similar subject matter. Like being from Colorado is the most interesting thing you can think of to tattoo on yourself. (303 is the area code for the Denver area)


I'm thinking about getting a Colorado tattoo, but then I'm madly, passionately in love with this state and I've visited more of it than anyone else in recorded history. And it is a pretty neat place to live. A nice Colorado flag tattoo with some crisp linework, good placement, not overdone, would be nice.

All the more reason not to go to this shop...

I've seen this video a few times on Rude Tube (UK T.V show about internet videos and the like). You've got to wonder why people so impulsively get other people's names tattooed on themselves who they haven't been in a long relationship with, let alone having married.

On a side note:

How did this appointment go?

Like what was the conversation between the artist and this guy to wind up with that?

"I dunno man. Its the dark mark. You know... The dark mark.."

"Describe it for me as if I wasn't a 14 year old girl or 27 year old manchild."

"Its a snake, and a skull.. And.. poo poo. You know. The DARK MARK man."

Nope, a Jack Skellington tattoo is only "cool" if you're in middle school and still use My Chemical Romance book covers. The Creature From the Black Lagoon one is the only actually cool one.

Wasn't Happy Noodle Boy kind of a way to troll fans (which I think makes it a-okay for a tattoo, btw)? I know there was a "How to Draw Happy Noodle Boy" page in one of the comics. I actually usually skipped Happy Noodle Boy when reading, 'cause he was just so angry, but not in a JTHM way. More in a schizophrenic homeless man yelling angry things way, which actually makes me sad. Also, I am all for people getting Dirge's "mouse with an ear on its back" as a tattoo.

More unasked for Dirge info: Lenore was also stolen by :todd:. He apparently thought that nobody knew who she was or something.

Granted, it wasn't the outright tracing that he did to Shmorky, but it's still pretty obvious.

Enough derail, Lenore tattoos. Since it's goth and a little wrong, it has plenty of trashy followers just like JTHM:





Well, that didn't yield anywhere near as many results as I had hoped. Of course, he included tattoo flash in his comics, so that may be some of the reason that there wasn't more poo poo. But this popped up, since, as I mentioned, the same people follow these artists (yes, I'm one of them to some extant, as is Neurosis Head I'm guessing):

gently caress getting a Vasquez tattoo that shows his strong use of line and shadow! Lets just throw this curly poo poo around here with faded lines and crappy shading.

Also, the search confirmed that Happy Noodle Boy can, indeed, look really loving cool in tattoo form. Then again, some of the joke is that he's a stick figure.

Edit: Shawn the Sheep is the only cartoon I've thought about getting as a tattoo. Goddamn I loved "A Close Shave" when I was in highschool. But, it wouldn't really fit anywhere, so I never got it.

I stand by my opinion that these are tasteless as gently caress even if they're techincally well-done tattoos. Maybe it's just because I know the girl personally and she's about as "lolrandom" as I've ever seen.

I don't think we're on the same page as to what constitutes "tasteless". Things you personally don't like aren't immediately tasteless, and a lot of these tattoos aren't tasteless. For example, I'm not sure how the technically decent tree on that girl's side is anything near "tasteless". A scratchy Tasmanian Devil is tasteless. A warped Bart Simpson is tasteless.

He picked the bad ones, people asked for the rest, he posted the rest. :shrug: Nobody ever said they were all tasteless.

GIR is definitely tasteless as gently caress, though. Jack Skellington, maybe, you can keep that on you for the rest of your life as a gentle reminder of your childhood without it being a terrible thing, because for all the poo poo that the movie get, A Nightmare Before Christmas is still really good. But GIR? That's either going to get removed, or covered, or just strategically wrapped in clothing after a certain point.

Tasteless doesn't have to mean poorly-done. You can have the best goddamn Triforce tattoo in the world, with great shading and fantastic linework with all the appropriate bits and bobs and thrown around it, but at the end of the day you still have a goddamn Triforce tattoo.

She has some really good tats, though. Bride of Frankenstein owns
