Happy Memorial Saturday, America! What better way enjoy a long weekend than with, hmm, a tattoo of a platypus, nature’s most perfect killing machine? Hey, works for me. The lady above writes in:
So I went to the tattoo expo in Spokane, Washington, yesterday and my friend asked me when I was going to get a platypus on me. I’ve always wanted one. So he went up so this guy, and asked if he’d do a tattoo. Daniel, the artist, was super stoked to do it and drew it out that night. I went back today thinking for $100 I’d have a little wimpy platty drawn out…and instead he showed me this almost full page sketch! He’s an awesome guy and kicked butt at making an “old school” looking platypus. I’m in love with it. The end.
More shots after the jump? You bet your sweet duck-billed ass there are.
(Tattoo by Daniel from Hopeless Ink in Vancouver, Washington.)

erm… the tail is wrong….
It should be relatively short and thick- not long and thin…. sorry- except that, it is a supercute “Schnabeltier”-as we call it 😉

This is brilliant.
I’ve never seen a real life, wild platypus.
I don’t think many Australians have. Tricky little critters, they are.

#7……#4 and #22 are most definitely correct the accepted plural for platypus is platypuses, as # 22 was getting at its a Greek word not Latin so plurals do not get an -i ending. Barring that you can use ‘platypus’ as both the singular and plural.
Its a common mistake, thanks to octopi (which is also technically wrong but that has been in wide spread use for so long its an accepted “word”.
I should know as i am a platypus researcher, that is literally the SECOND question EVERYONE asks when the find out what i do, the first question varies but the second is ALWAYS “so, whats the plural of platypus anyways?” LOL
some people said that the proportions are of (as well as several anatomical features), but its in an old school style not photorealistic portrait style so i get that and like it. 🙂
ps. lots of platypus pics on my iam page if thats your thing
