11 Photos Of Disturbing Abraham Lincoln Tattoos

Posted 6/6/12 1:00 pm EST by in Funny, Tattoos


It turns out that Honest Abe was not only the inspiration for a violent, dark historical reinterpretation of the 16th President's life and triumphs but also the source for some freaky ink. The former we were familiar with: Seth Grahame-Smith's 2010 novel "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter," based on Lincoln's secret diaries about his life as ... a vampire hunter. What, you thought Lincoln sharpened his axe to chop wood?  You've probably also seen a preview by now for the theatrical adaptation of Graeme-Smith's work, due out on June 22. To get you in the mood, click on for some tattoo artist interpretations of Lincoln.

Arian Foster's Tattoo Reads 'Coexist'

Posted 5/29/12 12:00 pm EST by in Sports, Tattoos

Many of Arian Foster's Twitter followers had a "Oh, I get it now" moment yesterday when the star Houston Texans running back explained what his forearm tattoo says. Foster, who is known to convey all kinds of wisdom and positive energy via his Twitter feed, has recently been using this photo as his avatar. Maybe the Star of David or peace symbol threw us off, but we didn't even realize that was his arm at first.

The blog Kissing Suzy Kolber aptly described the tattoo as "A Hippie's Bumper Sticker." Such a peaceful message does seem odd for an NFL player to have inked on his body, even a football player as spiritual as Foster. On the flip side, it's pretty f***ing cool to think about this tattoo being the last thing an opposing linebacker sees as Foster slam his forearm into his helmet and runs him over. "Is that a ying-yang?" Blackout.

Brain-Melting Nostalgia Blast: Cover Girl For Blink-182

Posted 5/24/12 11:00 am EST by in Ladies, Music, Tattoos


imgur/reddit

Here she is now. Her name is Janine Lindemulder, by the way, a former porn star, the ex-wife of Jesse James and the woman all pop-punk rockers lusted after in 1999. She retired from the porn industry around that time to pursue a career teaching kindergarten, which didn't work out. In 2002 she married Jesse James of West Coast Choppers. They had a daughter together but the pair later divorced and in 2005 she return to porn. Things got rocky for her in 2008 when she was sent sentenced to six months in prison for tax evasion. The former Penthouse Pet has surely been doing other things since her release but they're not easily discoverable on the Web.

We saw this image on BuzzFeed yesterday where she caught a bit of hate; she had some defenders in the Reddit post where it originated. Let's play Photo Hunt: The differences between her appearance then and now is 13 years, a lack of makeup, a large neck tattoo, a haircut and less visible cleavage. The image on the right is actually about 18 months old. In a more recent mugshot her hair is down and she's nearly smiling. Our ruling is, the woman is 43 years old and doesn't deserve ridicule. Now descending from a horse of mid-range height...

Tattoo Artist Surgically Attaches iPod To Arm

Posted 5/16/12 11:32 am EST by in News, Tattoos

Via YouTube

Via The FW comes this tale of extreme tattooing: tat artist Dave Hurban of New Jersey attached his iPod nano to his wrist. He's calling it the iDermal, and we're pretty sure that's the opening scene from "Gattica." It would be one thing if he did this in 2008, when iPods were still hip. But now? Might as well have a pog slammer attached to your arm.

OK, so Dave actually implanted four magnets under his skin, which is what holds the iPod (or keys, or coins, or any other metallic objects that are apparently too hard to dig out of pockets) in place. Plus, he can keep the iPod on his person while working out without any straps or cases. Pretty small price to pay for ultimate convenience, I'd say! On the down side, don't magnets destroy mobile devices?

Anyway, if you don't believe us, we have the (bloody) video to prove it!

Converse All-Stars will never go out of style. And if they do, this guy can cover up his foot tattoo kicks with... anything but Crocs. Check out some more people with permanent shoes and laces.

The Best And The Worst NHL Fan Tattoos

Posted 5/4/12 5:00 pm EST by in Most Popular, Sports, Tattoos

The passion of hockey fans is legendary, but everyone knows that wild enthusiasm and permanent ink can be an explosive and regrettable combination. While some emerge with tattoos that are worth cutting the sleeves off their game day jerseys in order to show off, others get five minutes and a game misconduct for flagrant crimes against the sport, good taste and logo designers everywhere.

11 Mugshots Featuring Ill-Advised Forehead Tattoos

Posted 5/2/12 12:30 pm EST by in Funny, Photos, Tattoos

We know, "ill-advised forehead tattoo" is redundant. But cut us some slack, we're just so frazzled right now. First we find out Obi-Wan Kenobi got arrested, then we find out God Himself Herself was pinched by the cops, as you can see above. According to The Smoking Gun, God (nee Jamie Calloway) was arrested on stalking charges. (Turns out God's second coming involves a female corrections officer She fell for during Her prior stint in jail.)

Calloway's forehead tattoo is patently ridiculous, yes. But you have to admire her commitment to the grand crime tradition, something dating all the way back to "think ink" enthusiast Charles Manson and his swastika tat. Since it's best to avoid anyone with a forehead tattoo in real life -- it's the craziest thing, but turns out many people who have them are insane criminals -- we're giving you 10 other mugshots featuring forehead tattoos that you can laugh and puzzle over from the safety of your own home.

All photos were found on The Smoking Gun's incredible archive of forehead-tattoo mugshots, unless otherwise noted. Read More...

An Updated Guide To The 'Jersey Shore' Cast's Tattoos

Posted 4/12/12 12:45 pm EST by in Celebs, Tattoos

Since we unveiled our Comprehensive Guide to the "Jersey Shore" cast's tattoos back in February 2011, a lot has changed. At that moment, the guido gang was on the cusp of jumping from cultural oddity to mega-stardom. Deena was an unknown X-factor and Team Meatball was still what they called Sunday dinner. Now, just over a year later, they're all international celebrities with their own endorsements, fragrances and spin-off shows.

With increased fame and fortune comes more tattoos. Didn't Andy Warhol say that? In classic tatorexic fashion, some of our favorite castmates decided to document this roller-coaster ride with some new ink. While Sammi and The Situation still haven't corrupted their dermis layers (at least, that's what they claim), and it appears Pauly D has just simply run out of room (or he's too busy DJing), there's plenty of new ink to analyze. So here's your updated comprehensive guide to the "Jersey Shore" cast's newest tattoos. Read More...
