Long hailed as a symbol of wintertime purity, the snowman community is not without depraved miscreants. Yes, evil pervades everything, even inanimate, buttoned flakes from the sky, built up by children. Some snowmen are psychotic reindeer killers, others terrify innocents and some are drug addicts. Who would get a tattoo of such a thing? A lot of people, it turns out.

The story about a lawsuit involving a woman victimized by her ex-boyfriend's revenge for her cheating, in which the tattooist boyfriend inked a giant, steaming, fly-covered, swirly pile of turd, is total crap. The Smoking Gun sniffed out the hoax after searching records for the lawsuit and came up empty. The tattoo/photograph in question actually surfaced 18 months ago, but only recently blew up when multiple outlets reported that Rossie Brovent from Dayton, Ohio, who wanted a scene from the Narnia trilogy, sued for $100,000 when she discovered the large potty animal.
Interestingly, TSG doesn't dispute the existence of the tattoo itself. So somewhere out there, "Rossie Brevent" might actually be walking around with one big doodie on her backside. Now that I've satisfied my personal dream of writing a story with the words "turd," "crap," "potty animal," "poo" and "doodie," check out four more stories with bogus tattoo claims.

Time to get meta! But first, a step inside the world of blogging. Sometimes we create lists rooted in current events, like the 15 best rap-staches because November was "Movember." Other times we make stuff based on dark, lingering thoughts, such as 33 words for "ladyflower" that come from kids' TV. Most of those ideas don't see the light of day, and they shouldn't.
When we looked back at end of the year at all the cool, silly, idiotic, clever things we've done, we decided--hey, why not put them all together and effectively recycle them into one big post?! So that's exactly what we've done. Check out 30 of our best of 2011 lists below.

For those of you with tattoos, or those considering them, you know how difficult it is to articulate the tattoo image in your head to the artist. You ask the artist for a Chinese dragon, thinking he'll draw you something badass, and he comes up with Mushu from "Mulan." A similar situation happened to entrepreneur Cristin Davis.
"I asked for a devil pig and an angel pig," David tells MTV Clutch. "I go to my friend's house and he drew a cartoon pig with a pitchfork. I just wanted a real looking pig with horns or something."
This sparked his idea for Interactive Tattoo, a software program he created housing artwork and artist portfolios in one user-friendly space. The customer can choose aspects of each image to create a unique tattoo while quickly and easily conveying their ideas to the artist.

If you've made it here, there's probably a special place in your heart for the '80s--that strange, exciting, coke-addled decade between the '70s and '90s. People who can remember have great memories of the '80s and rightfully so: The decade produced plenty of awesome music, movies, fashion and so on. Sure, some styles and tunes are regrettable, but every decade has its flaws. Time marches on and new ideas grip people. Memories fade, but tattoos endure longer. Check out 25 ink tributes to some of the greatest stars of the '80s.

Who gets a tattoo of a turkey? People who really like turkey hunting or eating turkey on Thanksgiving. Put another way, people who love dead turkeys. Maybe there are some turkey-tattoo folks who are celebrating the bird, like Ben Franklin did, and paying tribute to their misfortune of being associated with an iconic American feast holiday. However, turkeys are really dumb and aren't the nicest looking creatures in the animal kingdom, so we doubt that. Anyway, see below for 12 turkeys with crazy tattoos. Gobble, gobble.

One more letter. That's all it would take to turn these tattoo embarrassments into mediocre but at least grammatically correct permanent stamps. We're pretty sure, though, that the person above intentionally misspelled his "mispelled" tattoo. Virtual high-five for humor!
But the other folks have no such excuse. On one of only a few words that must be spelled correctly, they or their tattoo artists dropped the ball. Several websites have devoted galleries to tattoos with misspellings, but here we focus on those with one and only one...missing...letter. For eternity or until removal.

Tattoo Tuesdays is heading back in time today, to the mid-1980s when Garbage Pail Kids thrilled kids and shocked parents. For the uninitiated, Garbage Pail Kids (GPK) were trading cards that parodied the do-gooder Cabbage Patch Kids. Trading card maker Topps has re-booted the series with "Flashback" sets several times. The disfigured, hygiene-challenged Garbage Pail gang, some of which smoked cigarettes and drank booze, were obviously not well-received by everyone. But children of the '80s loved them and continue to remember them fondly. The following set of 12 GPK tattoos is a testament to that.

Most guests on the Kiss Kruise--a fist-pounding concert on a boat with legendary rock band Kiss--wrapped themselves in Kiss T-shirts. Apparently on a cruise it's OK to wear the shirt of the band you're going to see. (Don't be that guy.)
Meanwhile, the event attracted other Kiss die-hards who showed off their Kiss-inspired body art, which they proudly displayed at a tattoo social hour. The tattoos were varied but several featured autographs of Kiss band members. Some fans had the rockers sign their bodies with a marker to later have the signatures tattooed on their bodies. During a question and answer session earlier in the day, Kiss manager Doc McGhee expressed his confusion over that practice (read: was slightly creeped out), yet he still signed the body of a fan who will soon have McGhee's signature permanently emblazoned on his leg (see above photo). Check out more of the Kiss Kruise ink below.

Halloween is but once a year, but not for the Oct. 31 devotees inked with ghouls, goblins and zombie Marilyn Monroe. Safe to say, these are the people with hard-core lawn decorations and the best costumes at Halloween parties. The rest of the year? Just folks looking for a good scare.
