In Soviet Russia, Bad Tattoo Gets YOU!

“I want a teddy bear. No, no, make it a tiger. With sharp teeth, but cute gentle ears. Actually, wait – I think I want Bobby Hill, from ‘King of the Hill.’ Geez, I can’t decide. Can you just mix them together? Oh yeah, and make it look like a child did the drawing. With his left hand. Now lemme see. Perfect!
OK, now I want some kind of fierce dinosaur. Well, a dinosaur anyway, but instead of fierce, how about drunk? That better represents me. You know, holding its arms out, trying to keep its balance, but very near to toppling. Really. Drunk. Like the Bobby Hill Tiger Bear, I want it to be very crude. I said child-like before, but lets go with even less well-executed. As though a glue-sniffing eight-year-old wearing sunglasses drafted this. In dim light. And make sure the dinosaur has a crown. Duh. Lemme see again. It’s like you read my mind.”

The first one is *clearly* ManBearPig. Duh. ;p
Oh my god, imagine going to a tattoo artist, all excited about getting a new tattoo… Then you look in the mirror and see these results.. Bwahaha, yeah thats what you get for getting a 200 dollar tattoo
12wqz, I heart you. I am so serial (or cereal).
Imagine being the tattoo artist that drew that monstrosity on someone for life, and being so proud of it you felt compelled to take a photo of it… is there an Allan Smithee of tattoo artists?
This is what happens when, after 8 hours of drinking, a recent parolee blurts out “Oh hey, did I tell you all I’m starting a tattoo shop?” Generally, it’s the half-naked girl dancing alone in the corner that will then reply “Sweet! Can I be your first customer?” She probably won’t pay in cash.
Is it bad that I actually kinda like the second one? It seems like it could be some sort of character in a whimsical children’s book. (It does NOT seem like it should be emblazoned on someone’s body, unless that someone is the writer or illustrator of said whimsical children’s book.)
There’s a big pimple in the middle of the first person’s back.

Some people get drawings that their kids have created tattooed on them. The bottom one very well may be from an 8-year-old glue sniffer.
the master who did those great tatoos is Sterlok from Kursk, Russia. bow to the king!
Ok, the crappily drawn dinosaur with a crown? Probably the greatest tattoo I have ever seen.
I would sue.
I just made the mistake of reading that while drinking water. When I hit “With his left hand” I choked and almost died laughing.
Hahahahaha that is the funniest thing i’ve seen since the kid with the star tattoos on her chops! Incidentally I hear that the 52 stars represent every guy she’s slept with and only 15yrs old…..!!
The dinosaur one IS from a beloved children’s book “Where the Wild Things Are”. Pretty spot on too.
You know, it’s been a few years since I read that book (my kids were very little and got too scared). But I don’t remember this anywhere — the artwork is much worse than anything I remember from the book. For example, here are some tattoos from the book (and pretty cool ones at that). Note that none look as if they were drawn by a glue-sniffing child using his left hand.

See? No wavy half-outlined forms. Just crisp drawing.
I could be wrong though — as I said, it’s been a very long time since I read the book.
Isn’t that tigerbear from a Radiohead b-side album cover?
Since no one else has responded, I’ll just say: No, I don’t think it is — I’ve looked a bit (not being a Radiohead fan), and I’ve found nothing resembling this.
I just like the fact that the photo makes it look as if a cloud of farty vapor is coming out of the crowned dinosaur’s butt
[...] funny. At all. It’s not a mistake. It’s not a misguided effort. It’s not a brain-damaged “oops!” It’s utterly intentional, utterly sad, and utterly mind-out-of. If the stripes were just on [...]
Gulag tats are their own entity. Glad I’m in an American prison.
“A child did the drawing. With his left hand.”
What if the child, like 10% of the world’s population, was left-handed?
haha, i actually know the guy with the dinosaur tattoo. he drew it drunk the night before and he got it the next day. he’s like that. he has a lot of very interesting tattoos.
The second one looks like a Basquiat drawing for his childrens book
God, why did he have to ruin such a nice backside with such a God awful tattoo? WHY???
I think I just saw King Chupakabra there!
