    if i’m not mistaken, it’s from a design on a threadless.com t-shirt…

    threadless should just start a section called “tshirt designs ripped off into tattoos”.

    Not so cute when you know it’s been taken from a t-shirt design :oP Just doesn’t seem that original.

    But you could say the same thing about tons of people who get band names tattooed on them.
    Just another way to say “I like this a whole lot” except instead of a band it’s someones art that was put onto a t-shirt.

    Nothing wrong with getting a t-shirt design tattooed on you in my opinion.

    It’s funny and all, but it’s inner pelvic girdle. I have a tattoo in the same area and sometimes I giggle at the conjunction of tattoo (with text reading “Shall Endure”- not in a dirty way at all! Swear!) and face buried a bit further south. Just imagining clown puking down onto face makes me outright laugh.

    i laughed out loud for real when i saw this….that’s so funny, regardless of where it’s from (why people gotta be so NEGATIVE? at least be CONSTRUCTIVE!)

    yo! j, of comment #23, i totally agree!! sometimes its entirely unintentional and not really noticeable, but now that youve pointed out that subtlety about this one, its all i can think about. maybe it means that if you partake of her laty-parts, you’ll puke not normal puke, but rainbows? is it just that good?

    my friend kristen has the same tattoo. http://myspace.com/VULGARx

    i don’t really see a problem with it. what about the people that the bme logos tattooed on them? those are t-shirts too. and i have a thrasher skateboard magazine tattoo myself.

    People get art tattooed on them all the time, I don’t see how this is different 🙂

    the way i sees it, is that its a bit impersonal when your tattoo is also a tshirt. i dont really see it as the same thing as artwork, but i do see how band logos, mascots, etc is about the same

  33. Joshua Paul Avatar

    Yessir. This is a good one. Everyone needs at least one tattoo that makes them laugh. Its like being able to tickle yourself.

  34. Sassie_L Avatar

    That’s a classic.

    It does make me think of that joke: How can you tell a clown has farted? Something smells funny……

    It’s not just a tattoo ripped off a Threadless shirt. It’s a tattoo ripped off a Threadless shirt created by Paul Motherfucking Southworth!

    Jim, I e-mailed him about that as soon as I saw this. I was fortunate enough to be the first one to send it to him and not the fortieth, so I didn’t feel like such a fool.

    often see funny tattoos and think man “whose gonna laugh after theve seen it so many times”and your stuck with it.but this just downright fucking rocks.its cool now and its gonna be cool in ten years and its still gonna be rocking freakin cool the fiftieth time iv seen it-and who cares if its ripped off a label…tell that to the dude with a harley davidson tat.

    hey jim,
    paul southworth ,just scored the deal of a lifetime with quite possibly an 80 year advertisement on a moving billboard for his product that the advertisee paid for ,to put his fantastic art on themselves.there not running cheap printoffs and knockin them off for 5 bucks each.
    to reproduce someones art for life and altering your body in the process is a pretty fucking high honour i say.

    Haha. I had a conversation with a freind that ended up with the clown puke question.

    I wasn’t knocking the tattoo or scolding; I was revealing myself as a fan of Southworth and plugging his comic.

    The tat’s sweet.

    hey awesomme jim i wasnt having you on either and hope my plug was read as an upbeat comment to ya,not misread as negative at all.
