I like dinosaur Jesus. And the ear skull is okay.

But a Reagan tramp stamp is not going to enhance the mood. And June Cleaver and the gory geisha are disturbing.

And if we were making a list of the ten worst tattoos in the world, PUNK’S NOT DEAD would be on it.

Nazi-Straightedge Pooh is 😕:eek::rolleyes:.

I love the beer belly…though it’d be a lot funnier if it weren’t permanent…

The ‘gory geisha’ is actually pretty awesome as a bit of horror art, but it’s totally not something I’d want permanently on my body.

The spider is disturbingly realistic. As is the torc the guy with the chestburster has.

Some of those were really awesome! As long as they’re on someone else. 😃

I kinda dug the ‘made in china’ tat.

re: the tarantula, why? Why!? :eek:

Several of those were clearly done by talented artists, though the depictions are at best, bizarre, and at worst, idiotic.

Neo-Nazi Pooh reminds me of the White Power unicorn.

The ear-skull is kinda cool! That’s a lot of detail for such a small area.

The tarantula was well done. As was the skull inside the ear. I wouldn’t have either, but they were well done.

What the heck was #13? Above the “Hollister” label on the jeans. It looked like a piece of cheese to me, but I am un-hip.

I think it’s supposed to be a nacho, not that it makes much more sense than a piece of cheese.

And I think “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” is adorable, not strange.

I love “Make Me a Taco!”

Is the tarantula a real tattoo? It looks too amazingly good to me.

The “alien chest burster” was disgusting, but the gold torc on the same cat was fantastic.

I also liked the “Made in China” tattoo; one of these days I’m going to get one on my foor that reads: ©copyright God, 1965

The Zappa one was sort of tasteless but quite amazing work. Looked JUST like him!

I like the girl with the scissors and the dotted line on her neck 🙂

I laughed pretty hard at “LYNN! I’VE PIERCED MY FOOT ON A SPIIIKE!”

The others are funny in their own quirky way, but god only knows why they’d want that permanently on their body. Some are _horribly_ executed, but the spider, Zappa and chest burster are nicely done.

I’m baffled at the Ronald Regan tat. Also the “MEAT” tat around the girl’s waist and Wilford Brimley “Beatus Man”\* WTF?!

\*I know he’s famous for saying Diabetes like that, but _why_ a tattoo of him?

Another good idea, but there were bottles poking out from behind the 6, so I still go with ‘beer belly’.

I’m glad only some of my posts are TL;DR, I didn’t make the mistake of getting a tatt that’s TL;DR like the one on that dude’s back. WTF?

I liked the happy catapilliar, too.

What is the one just below Nazi Pooh? Is that a tortilla chip dipped in mustard?
