Make Sure Your Tattoo Artist Can Spell
September 18, 2012 - 7:01 am | PermalinkSo you’ve finally decided to join the rest of the cool kids and get yourself some ink needled into your skin, where it’ll stay forever and ever. Awesome! Just make sure your tattoo artist can spell.
How it happened: He had a choice between getting his girlfriend's name tattooed onto his body, or an anthropomorphic version of his favorite food. He made the obvious choice.
Poporn sounds like pornography for the impoverished. You know, po' porn. Come to think of it, why isn't there a government program for free high definition pornography? They don't call it a stimulus package for nothing!
Tomarrow Never Knows
How it happened: Overcome with a fit of angst after just having finished reading the cliffs notes of something depressing that Franz Kafka or someone like that wrote, this young person decided to get something profound and totally-not-pretentious stamped on their wrist. Maybe spelling is just for conformists though.
Yes, this might be referencing a Beatles song, but that's unlikely. How much do you want to bet this person has never heard The Beatles' Tomorrow Never Knows, from the 1966 album Revolver?
To young to die, To fast to live
How it happened: With blatant disregard for grammar—this fascinating individual was far too young and/or fast for such trivialities—he went to the tattoo parlor and promptly had them stamp this profound, timeless statement into his forearms.
It's too bad that his tattoo artist didn't tell him that he was going to look like a moron.
I'm Awsome
How it happened: He decided to get an ironic yet cocky and funny tattoo. Fine, at least this tattoo would have been at least amusing, which is certainly preferable to 99% of the self aggrandizing garbage people have printed on their bodies. Except that now it's just sad, and certainly not awesome.
Here's a quick tip for anyone considering getting a tattoo. In the event that you simply must have words tattooed and you want the words to be all cool and archaic looking like the one above, just know that everyone else has the same font. Seriously, the font that the “I'm Awsome” guy is using can be found and downloaded for free on the internet.
* Note: May not actually be “how it happened,” but it's probably pretty accurate.
