There have been previous threads in which somebody has pitted a tattoo for being stupid or offensive. And there are always other people who will jump in to defend the tattoo with the argument that it’s not on your body so what right do you have to criticize it? So, here we go. Is [this tattoo](http://images.totalbeauty.com/content/photos/crazy-tattoos-02.jpg) stupid and offensive enough that everyone can agree it’s a bad idea? (Warning: besides being stupid and offensive, the tattoo is also semi-NSFW.) ---

Wow. In other tattoo news, I actually worked with a dumb fella who has the following tattoo: TOO HOT TOO HANDLE TOO COLD TOO HOLD ---

I don’t really like it, but I’m not outraged or even offended. I will grant you it was a “bad idea.” I actually prefer it to the stupid ones with misspelled words. ---

More to the point, what it will look like when she’s having sex. Which is obviously the effect she’s going for. It’s too obviously intentionally offensive to be actually offensive. Now, stupid on the other hand, is a different thing. This is one of those rare tattoos which I think the inked individual will actually regret. ---

> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > Think about what the tattoo would look like if she was naked. More to the point, if she was in the process of getting fucked. Personally, I lol’d because it’s wrong on so many levels. But I’ve admittedly got a twisted sense of humour. And it’s definitely a tattoo she will regret when she’s older. As a temp’ to make somebody laugh though, it’d work fine. ---

I don’t know how her OB-GYN keeps a straight face. Giving birth will also be interesting. I’d like it better if the head were Mohammed’s. ---
