The Inner Infant?

Some people never grow up, just get older.



What better way to woo the ladies with your inner youth than a permanent picture of a baby on your bod?

That's hot.

Pin-Up

I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a pin-up girl or a memorial portrait.



Either way, I'd invest in long-sleeved shirts.

Juggling Stars

I don't know if this is supposed to be from The Littlest Prince or what, but either way, it sucks.

Fiery Eagle Riders

That's one sexy tatt right there. It says, free spirit, while still saying, looking for love.


...what?

Spanked

Going to a con? Star Wars fanatic? Need a way to start fights with Trekkies without saying a word? (Because really, who has time to talk to Trekkies?) Then have we got a solution for you! Guaranteed inflammatory reaction.

Making a List

This guy got a giant tattoo of Dumbledore, complete with a Hogwarts list containing his children's names.



The best part is that he reportedly got it removed after it was revealed that Dumbledore was gay.

More Lovely Leia

I figured I'd follow up the Princess Leia with another one. This one is much better art-wise, but possibly still worse. How do you explain this one to your Mother-in-Law?

Princess Leia

Princess Leia in a slave outfit has been every geek's fantasy for years. What better way to dream of the kind of woman you'll never have than to get her tattooed on your arm, slimy giant slug and all.



Yeah sirree, that's might hot.

Smiling Zombie

Yet another reason why realistic portraits of people should only be done by the really, really skilled. It's just not a good idea people.

A Sad People

While the Indians are indeed a sad, much-put upon people, next only to the Jews, it seems like getting a tattoo to commemorate them isn't the best idea. Especially if you go to this certain tattoo artist, in which case you're just giving these poor indigenous people one more thing to be sad about.

He Hulk

In the words of Paris Hilton..... "that's hot."

Wouldn't You Like to be A Pepper Too?

Continuing with the theme of memes, like
this classic, is internet superstar Brian Peppers. For those unfamiliar with the Mister Pepper, he is a convicted sex offender in Ohio, and Snopes.com debunked a myth doubting his very existence. But he does exist. And to commemorate this paragon of internet notoriety, why not permanently affix him to your back? What better way to honor a sex offender than to make everyone who sees you shirtless feel violated?

The original Brian Peppers:

Fly Like an Eagle

I don't know if the eagle is supposed to be taking a shit on the swastika or if he's embracing it with his talons. Either way, the quality and meaning of this tattoo are neck and neck in the race to suck.

Two For One

There's no better way to proclaim your faith than by getting a tattoo of christ. Then, say you want to show your support for people afflicted with Down Syndrome. I know! Combine the two! Perfect!

I give you... Retard Jesus:

Welcome to my Playhouse.

I think the only thing creepier than PeeWee Herman is a person with a tattoo of PeeWee Herman.

The Price is WRONG, Bitch!

Uhm.... ok? I hope this person was at least a contestant on the show.

Just goes to show that sometimes, people should be spayed or neutered.

...Did What Again?

The 666 on her forehead confounds me, but I'm still trying to figure out... what she did again? Oops? I don't think she accidentally shaved her head. Nor, to my knowledge, has she done it more than once. So... unless she's actually joined a cult multiple times and I just didn't hear about it, this tattoo doesn't make any sense.

Plus, like all "fad" tattoos, you know that in 20 or 30 years no one will know who Brittany Spears is, but you'll still have a picture of what is apparently a female neo nazi lamenting her return to the cult on your arm. Nice going.

NSFW-Off to NeverNeverland

This is another one of my favorites. Good for a chuckle, but not when you realize that this guy is going to walk around for the rest of his life with this thing on. These fads will pass, and in 20 years he'll still have to be explaining why he has a picture of a monkeywoman with her hands down a kid's pants. Plus, Michael Jackson's gonna change his look in a year or two anyway.

Not-So Loving Memory

The last of the Oldies, I swear. I just like this one. This memory is not loving. Only reeeeally talented tattoo artists should do portraits.
