“Moo-ooom! Don’t make me remove my John Locke tattoo! Mom, it’s not faiiiir. Don’t tell me what I can’t do, Mom! God, you’re embarrassing me.” More »
The Daily WTF: Most Intense Voldemort Tattoo Ever
We have nothing against Harry Potter tattoos, at all. In fact, our best friend has a little golden snitch inked onto her wrist and it’s adorable! However, this tattoo who will not be named is pretty intense. Like, that’s permanent, you know? And Voldemort is a big jerk, and we’re not a fan of having big jerks on our body, in any respect.

The Daily WTF: The Best ‘Wire’ Tattoo Ever
Game over, every other tattoo in the world: this ink rendering of Omar Little from The Wire just knocked your pair of sparrows kissing over a heart-shaped sunset out of the park. (With a shotgun, it knocked your tattoo out of the park with a shotgun.) If we show up with this etched into our face tomorrow, try not to be too alarmed. More »
Gallery: An Updated Look at Miley Cyrus’ Many Tattoos
Miley Cyrus got her sixth tattoo yesterday at a parlor in Brazil. There are no images of the final product, and neither the starlet or the tattoo artist will speak about the ink, but Miley apparently told the artist to design something that reminded her of a safe place. We’re sure photos of the new wrist tat will surface soon enough. In the meantime, here’s a guide to the rest of the pop star’s tattoos. More »
Gallery: 15 Absolutely Insane ‘LOST’ Tattoos

Gallery: The 10 Worst Celebrity Tattoos
It looks like Megan Fox has gotten wise to the fact that her Marilyn Monroe tattoo lacks a certain amount of — shall we say — elegance? The actress appears to be midway through some laser removal action (something something Transformers joke). Because we totally wrote an essay yesterday describing our own dumb tattoos, we’ve granted ourselves a level of authority over judging the ink of others. So here are 10 more celebrity tats we think could stand a laser or two.

Everyone Has Opinions About Tattoos, Here Are Mine
This is a follow-up of sorts to this post.
I came home with my third tattoo a few nights ago (thanks for helping me pick it, those of you who weighed in!), and I’ve already gotten my “what’s that weird thing on your arm all about?” explanation speech down PAT. Would you like to know it? No? Then close your eyes. (And picture Ryan Gosling perched at the edge of your bed, in the nude, waiting for you to return with another Amstel Light, which the two of you will share whilst cracking adorably wise and slowly gearing up for round two.) Anyway: More »
The Daily WTF: Criminal Caught with Murder Map Tattoo
This is simultaneously the dumbest and most brazen human act we’ve seen in a long time: an unsolved murder at a liquor store in the Pico Rivera area of Southern California was case-closed this week after police realized they had mugshot that contained a tattooed depiction of the crime. That tat was found on Anthony Garcia, a member of the Rivera gang. Anthony, whose nickname is “Chopper” is depicted as a helicopter shooting a round of bullets at his victim, who’s show as Mr. Peanut. And it’s all going down outside the liquor store in question.

Guys! Help Me Pick My Next Tattoo
A few nights ago, my friend Steve and I got to drinking, and, as often happens when a couple glasses of whiskey are making their way through my system, I got all “hey, let’s go get tattoos!” up in the place. Steve mentioned that he’d been thinking about getting a hobo code symbol on his wrist, and I instantly decided I wanted one too. If you’ve never heard of hobo code, it’s a system of symbols devised by Depression-era hobos to help out their brethren. After leaving a spot, the hobo would leave informative symbols in chalk, saying things like “religious talk gets free meal” or “man with gun leaves here.” The code was featured in an episode of Man Men, where in flashback, a young Don Draper sees that a hobo has written the symbol for “bad man lives here” outside of his father’s home.

The Daily WTF: So, This Woman Exists
Guess what she does for a living! She’s a tattoo artist. Guess how many kids she has! Four.

And she totally claims she got those horns put in without anesthetic — yikes! More »

Gallery: 17 Kurt Cobain Tattoos On The 17th Anniversary Of His Death
Seventeen years ago today, Kurt Cobain, grunge messiah, put a gun to his own head and ended his life.

Almost two decades later, Kurt lives on through his music and through the tribute of die-hard fans, many of whom have inked their tribute onto their own bodies. Take a look at our gallery of Kurt faces, signatures and guitars. More »
Gallery: Celebs With Tattoos Of Inspirational Sayings

Sign Of The Apocalypse: Bombshell McGee And Michael Lohan Pose Together For ‘Rebel Ink’ Magazine
Rebel Ink presents Michelle “Bombshell” McGee and Michael Lohan as some kind of “new American family” on their April cover — which isn’t necessarily untrue, except instead of smiles they should be sporting black eyes and hopelessness. And that kid? If this were accurate, he’d totally be posing from behind bars. More »

Gallery: Turns Out Lots Of People Have ‘Twilight’ Tattoos
Earlier this month, we introduced you to a brave woman with an incredible (and incredibly permanent) Twilight tribute etched into the flesh of her back. Guess what? It turns out this older Twihard (she’s Team Edward and Team Jacob!) isn’t the only person out there with a Steph Meyer-inspired tattoo. There are folks who’ve inked bright red apples, brooding Edwards, and even some quotes from the, um, not super quotable series. Ah, what unique and special creatures we all are. More »

Uh Oh, is this a Scientology thing? More »
Trending Topic: What Are #RealMen?
To paraphrase Lucas from Empire Records, “Who knows where Twitter hashtags come from? They just appear.” Sometimes the day’s most popular trends come from an obvious source: a celebrity news item, say, or outrage over a new edition of Huckleberry Finn. Sometimes however, topics just appear on Twitter for no discernible reason, and make their way ’round the social network stratosphere. And they are glorious.
Take today’s example: What does a #realman look like? Well, they have lots of thoughts on ice-cream, 6-packs, and Justin Bieber, so real men look a lot like 12-year-old girls. More »
The Daily WTF: World’s Greatest ‘LOST’ Tattoo
This LOST tattoo may look pretty crappy at first glance, but it actually has all the most important elements of Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse‘s series. There’s the plane crash, the gun, and the island that moves position every time that dude raises his arm. Plus, at the end, it leaves you utterly confounded as to what the point was in the first place. Our only criticism? Would have been better as a tramp stamp. More »
