Sure, Why Not?
Submitted by: dunno source via Submission Page
Compelled to do my due diligence and thoroughly research this image* before posting it (lest I get a million comments that say, “You IDIOT, you haven’t seen [name of some stupid Internet video featuring a unicorn fighting a robot dolphin] on [name of some stupid Internet site that features things like videos of unicorns fighting robot dolphins]?!!?!?!?!!!!11!?! It’s HILARIOUS.”), I’ve determined that it’s from deviantART, a site that, as far as I can tell, is for emotionally disturbed teenagers to post Photoshopped pictures of themselves having sex with their favorite Dragon Ball Z characters.
Anyway, this particular deviant seems to have struck a chord among his peers, because we have not one, but TWO tattoos of his masterwork:

You know, I used to draw pictures of waffles fighting pancakes in my notebook in high school. Anyone want to get a tattoo of that?
*i.e. look at one Google search result and then give up
You post that waffle vs. pancakes bit, and you bet someone’ll get it done
I’m a proud deviant btw. but i appreciate the irony lol

Leaving aside the strangeness of the source material for a moment, I think this is a good example of why it is important to have a qualified tattooer do your work. Two tattoos of the same image: One looks like it was doodled onto the skin by a 4th grader with crayola washable markers, and the other looks rather like a respectable tattoo. Besides the fact that it is of a unicorn fighting a robot dolphin, of course.
Exactly what I was thinking. The second one looks a lot better than the first, though apparently neither look like the original source material.
Not all of Deviantart artist are disturbed like you said. Some of us are real artists.
Anyway this tattoo is ugly!
The monsters in the 1st picture look like they’re happy life time partners. And I don’t even know what that thing is popping out of the unicorn monster’s chest in the 2nd one. A heart ventricle?
I am glad I wasn’t the only person confused by that. Also, is that a syringe in the unicorn’s leg by the hoof?
I think it’s a bone but I could be wrong.
Silly me. I thought it was a robot dolphin having sex with a unicorn. I guess I’m just not in touch with the youth of today…
In case anyone was wondering, DeviantArt is an online gallery site. And gasp, there’s famous artists on there too.
This doesn’t appear to be one of them, but the principle remains!
(It’s Elfwood you have to fear)

“deviantART, a site that, as far as I can tell, is for emotionally disturbed teenagers to post Photoshopped pictures of themselves having sex with their favorite Dragon Ball Z characters”
I’m also in Deviant Art, but i have to admit that is sadly true in 90%
Your description of DeviantART is beyond awesome.
YES! YES, I want a waffles vs. pancakes tattoo! And the pancakes should be winning!
False. Waffles win.
noooO!
waffles > pancakes
If you’re serious, I want to see it when it’s done! It’s too bad waffles and pancakes aren’t vertebrates or I’d consider skeletons of them.
im still slightly confused by the anatomy of the first unicorn… after some studying i managed to figure out the lower jaw [which is pretty crocodile-like] but the left front leg… it just doesnt make sense. its like an optical illusion.
second tattoo is markedly better, but still confusing… what is coming alien-like out of the middle of its chest?? and now its nose looks like a cartoon rat… i think this is just bad source material. well obvs.
i somehow cannot find a lot of fault with the robot dolphin…its kind of awesome.
What is with the unicorn’s tail? That is NOT a horse’s tail, it looks like a lion’s if anything. The original picture is the same, so that isn’t the tattoo artist’s fault, but seriously, WTF?
In mythology, unicorns are typically represented as having the hooves of a deer/goat, the tail of a lion, and the rest of the features of a horse with the obligatory single horn.
A lot have goat-beards as well.
here’s one cute version of the pic. more make love nat war kind http://www.sierrasnowboard.com/forum/uploads/169226/unicorn_preview.jpg
You have an odd interpretation of the word “cute.”
I hope that they die in the desert of dehyrdration. Not because I have any ill-will towards them, but in order that future archeologists may discover their perfectly-preserved corpses, and draw elaborate conclusions about our culture and religion from these rather arbitrary tattoos.
Your comment just made my day. But now there is coffee on my monitor, and in my nose. I keep saying that I’m going to stop drinking liquids while visiting this site, and I never follow through.
My guess: zombie unicorn. It’s more obvious in the second. And, to be fair, featuring some famous artists doesn’t legitimize DeviantArt. Elfwood has famous artists’ galleries on their site too. Hell, even graffiti has “famous” artists. The case in all three is that some of the stuff is famous, some of it is awesome, but 90% of it is masturbatory fantasies drawn by people with the skills of your average 4th grader.
even though this tattoo is not very attractive, i do not appreciate such inaccurate comments about deviantart and their artists. a large part of the cheezburger network fan base is at deviantart, insulting them is uncalled for and, frankly, stupid. while some people are eccentric, it is not fair to lump such a diverse group of this generation’s up-and-coming great artist in such an insulting way.
oh come on, we all know it was in good humor. there are some completely kick ass artists on DeviantArt, and i mean like cream of the crop kick ass. Don’t get your feeling hurts. If you coulnd’t tell, most of the cheezburger network is run off of pure humor/sarcasm anyways.
No seriousness allowed here, unless it is serious tattoo criticism. Everyone knows Jessica makes fun of everything. All in good fun.
Aquila, the insult happened when the first guy got a very poorly done tattoo of the original artwork. And a larger part of the cheezburger network fan base is ALL OVER THE INTERNET. It’s not like it’s some exclusive club of only deviantart fans, everyone and their brother likes looking at funny pictures of stupid people and cute animals.
Whilst I take no personal offense from the deviant art comment, as I think none of you should- for god sakes…it’s a site about insulting tattoos on every subject matter! As well as it IS NOT an exclusive “fan club” I will say a very large majority of artists do belong to deviant art, which in turn an also large majority frequent ugliest tattoos as well as other icanhas sister sites. All in all, everyone just needs to get over it, I do totally agree a large amount of dev users are stupid emo kids, and YES there are a large number of also kick ass users who over shadow those retards,,, but that is not the moral which IS that she meant no harm
Aquila, you turn 21 this year, right?
For the first photo: I can’t really understand where the horse’s chin is coming out of, let alone his left front limb. Just a horrible drawing in general.
For the second photo: why does the dolphin look like a dinosaur? And to me I think the thing popping out of its chest might be its aorta or jugular– which last summer at my vet clinic I DID see a dog with its jugular hanging out after getting bitten by another dog (and owner had no money so just wanted us “stick it back in and sew him up”).
And as far as DeviantArt is concerned, I don’t know what you guys saw, but it’s actually a rather good website. There is a lot of professional art (and a lot of great art by amateurs, too).
I think the problem with the unicorn’s jaw in the first picture is this: The tattooer forgot to add in the jaw bone. It’s my feeling that just a single line represening the jaw bone, in the place that one would expect it to be, would clear up an alwful lot of the questions about what the fuck is going on with that unicorn. As it is, the mouth is left looking rather crocodile-like. Or like his mouth is just stuck open forever and his skeletal structure offers no mechanism for closing it.
I stole the design for my tattoo off of deviantart.
It’s not as awesome as the pancake v. waffle fight, though.
me too! i plan to get at least one more that i found on the site. there is some really fantastic art out there. i have also seen HORRIFYING AND DISTURBING THINGS. and hilarious. an 11 year olds drawing of an anthropomorphic unicorn? just viewing it might have caused me some retardation.
Hey…I’m not an emotionally disturbed teenagers posting Photoshopped pictures of himself having sex with his favorite Dragon Ball Z characters…I HATE Dragon Ball Z.
http://kissed-byarose.deviantart.com/
WTF! u simply CAN’T hate dragon ball z! unless you were raped by goku on your early days…
I’m totally cool with the ‘roided unicorn and the robotized dolphin but I’m TRIPPIN on the purple measles (or is the rainbow disintegrating starting at the end of the color spectrum?).
It just looks weird.
DeviantArt is a thinly-veiled furry porn site. For every real artist, there are at least twenty people currently uploading sketches of what they would look like as purple Sonic the Hedgehog-styled wolves, wearing frilly dresses and go-go boots, with raging hard-ons pointed at Tails.
/Rather unrelated to the tattoos.
//Which aren’t as moronic as Sonic fanfic porn, but still moronic.
Erections are banned on DA, thank you very much.
Oh my God, I’m getting such a kick out of these DA Awesome v. DA Adolescent Furry Porn arguments. I say we take it to it’s logical conclusion and stage a massive ultimate fighting blowout to decide the winner of this debate.
Either that, or we could just keep getting pissy with each other, which would, for me at least, be almost as entertaining. I’ve personally never even heard of this DA website before, but I think it may be prudent to just let people be entitled to their opinions on it and make sure that we have our humor-omiters turned to “ON” when we visit Ugliest Tattoos.
Oh, and also @ M.: BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Literally laughed out loud when I read your description. So I guess we know who’s side I’ll be cheering for the ultimate fighting match: The funny side!
Could not stop laughing.
I need someone to tattoo my shitty art work on their bodies too. Lucky bastered has fans.
Bastered? With browsers having built-in spell checkers, and Google and other search engines, you couldn’t manage to squeeze out the effort to spell “bastard” correctly? Okay, I can see by your WP page that you’re not normal, but hey, abnormal is good. Sometimes. In your case, if you’re not already on psychotropics, I see them in your future.
Seriously, Anlimarey (did your parents use Scrabble tiles to name you?): March 11, 2010, a woman with a twat on her face? If, heaven forbid, someone ever gets a tattoo of one of your designs, I hope the tattooist notifies the authorities, who then obtain a search warrant to check that person’s basement or crawl space.
/bitch mode
Hey, hey, now, I actually liked the squirrels-in-my-soup one.
Anna ‘Anlimarey’ is my name scrabbled.
I think anyone who gets my ‘art’ tattooed on them is rather awesome and has a sense of humor.
Is the dolphin supposed to be having sex with the unicorn? Cause the unicorn’s rump/butt/whatever is clearly visible, which puts the dolphin somewhere over on the unicorn’s right side…..
While dA has slowly turned into a mass of horrible nude photos and poorly done anime fan art…There is still a LOT of good art on there…you just have to be willing to look past the vast sea of morons. Like anything in life these days.
There are actually at least 3 with this tattoo – I know a girl with it.
Is this somehow related to Robot Unicorn Attack? There’s a Dolphin and a unicorn… but the dolphin is the robot.
I give up.
I doubt it. The art piece was submitted in 2004, WAY before Robot Unicorn Attack came out, this year.
good lord, this makes me ashamed of my deviantart.
Not me.
This is ridiculous, horses/unicorns do not have split hooves. Pigs, cattle, deer, sheep, goats, etc etc do- hot horses/ponies/zebras/unicorns.
***not. >.>;
Dear Tattoo Artists:
Before you even think about getting into the business, please do the world a favor and TAKE SOME DRAWING COURSES! Hell, just go online and look up anatomy drawing tutorials for various animals. I hate it when people try to draw something without having a clue what it actually looks like. I’ve seen toddlers draw better unicorns than that.
I would rather see a tattoo of waffles and pancakes forging an alliance against french toast.
The “robot dolphin” is supposed to be Nessie, the Loch Ness monster. It’s wearing a traditional tartan kilt & sash. Still creepy lookin though.
It is actually a police dolphin. Originally done by Greg Duffek, formerly of RVA Tattoo in Richmond, Virginia. Currently at Deluxe Tattoo Parlour 1410 Boulevard Colonial Heights, VA 23834. http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vdHdpdHRlci5jb20vZ3JlZ2R1ZmZlaw== http://www.myspace.com/gregduffek http://www.facebook.com/search/?post_form_id=f4c25e32c0ba3d39f43178d05827e0f4&q=greg%20duffek&init=quick&ref=search_loaded#!/gregduffek?ref=search
For the most part 90% of the people that commented on these pictures are artistic morons who have nothing better to do than sit online and play WoW and talk shit about people and pictures and say things that they would NEVER say if they saw me on the street. When any of the rest of you idiots can make $100,000 a year drawing on people let me know. Until then you’re fucking losers. IF you feel the need to further show your inferior intellect then please come see me in person. Don’t get 10 feet tall and bullet proof behind a keyboard.
PS: The line drawing from which the tattoo was created from was taken directly from the google image. Id also like to speak with person that defended my picture. Contact me on facebook. Thanks!!
Not all people on dA are like that. Only the dickweeds that probably came over from 4chan or some shit. Majority of us are actually artists.. or try to be, at least, just a select few are mentally disturbed idiots. Also, not everyone there is a teen. There’s some that are even 40 – 60 and still doing artwork, posting it online and auctioning it off to the highest bidder. Ofcourse the auction thing isn’t a part of dA, that’s just the artist’s decision.
Just found another one. It’s slightly different than the one up top:
