Morgan had Chris Lyon at Deep Roots in Seattle, Washington tattoo this burger joint. She writes, “this is the sign of a burger joint in my hometown that was practically my second home.” What a reversal of fortunes that she is now home to it! Hot diggity dog, come in and ketch up!

Neat tattoo and I’m sure it’s got some great memories attached to it.
…bummer about the quality of the work though.

it’d be nice if it was a little bit better quality. i love the idea, though. i don’t really have one specific place with feelings like that attached to it, but then again i’ve got plenty of time left for gathering childhood memories. we always will!

i don’t understand why the subject matter is an issue. quality-wise, i would love to see a little more shading and bolder outlines, although it’s nice as it is, too. it kind of makes me think of dennis the menace comics.
i just think it’s a little sad that someone is actually criticizing another person’s life experience. MistahG is probably an educated, well-rounded individual like most people, but this is the internet and he is just coming off as yet another pretentious ass who thinks his existence is much more important and fulfilling than anyone else’s. i also laughed out loud at his pejorative usage of the word “american”.
i wouldn’t ever think about getting a tattoo like this, but that doesn’t mean i’m going to trash someone else’s memories of youth. anyway, i wasn’t trying to start a petty forum argument. sorry for the long comment.

I actually quite like this.
I agree that its not bad quality so much as the style its done in. It has this vintage ad quality to it that really adds to the overall feeling of past memories, and it’s playful.

Personally, I few this tattoo as simply adorable. I think the quality of this tattoo is perfectly fine, it’s just a different style.
I think MistahG is just an elitist bastard who views his life as the only one worth living.

mistahG: Jesus god almighty you are an up-tight asshole, it’s a place he probably hung out at and loved being there with his friends, I’m sure if he liked hot-dogs that much he would have cut to the chase and got a fucking hot dog tattoo…also did I mention your an up-tight asshole

cool tattoo by the way, I don’t think the quality is’nt there but as someone mentioned it looks more like an old water color painting from the 50′s

It’s a sad day when someone is going to change their idea of the tattoo they want because of what OTHER people will think when they see it. Far as I’m concerned, the hot dog stand tattoo is a great idea *if it has genuine meaning to the person wearing it* because who gives a fuck what other people think of your tattoo? If you’re willing to tolerate the responses people will have, then more power to you to get what YOU want as a tattoo.
But if all you’re thinking about is what OTHER people are going to think… well, you get my point.
In any case, the quality is pretty loose IMO, otherwise what’s the big deal?

What if he just liked hot dogs? Would that be so wrong? Who cares? Maybe the hot dogs are really good! Are we to assume that MistahG’s mods (if any) are of universal appeal, loved by everyone?

I agree with the quality being similar to that of a watercolor 50′s ad. I think that just adds even more to it’s charm. 🙂 I digg this tattoo a lot, and I hope the wearer can continuously enjoy it…no matter what people like ‘MistahG’ think.
Obviously, ‘MistahG’ has nothing better to do with their time, so they come to ModBlog and make petty arguments about someone’s chosen mod. They need to get a life and I seriously wouldn’t even waste my time feeding into their ridiculous past time…

You know what MistahG?? At first what you said just steamed me up, here was I thinking, ‘Just where does this fucker get off??’. But then I thought about it a little more. It’s been pointed out time and again what the point of this tattoo was and you still don’t get it, which just leaves me sad. Sad for you MistahG, as you obviously don’t have any kind of connection like Morgan does from your own childhood. I pity you MistahG, I really do…

Good point, Phill. Anyway, MistahG is entitled to his/her (I’m assuming his) opinion, just that prevailing opinion is different. If he doesn’t want to realise that (if he hasn’t already), then there’s no changing the way it’s going to turn out.
For what it’s worth, I like this tattoo. Why not get a tattoo of somewhere that conjures up fantastic memories, instead of a piece of flash from the walls inside an artist’s hangout?
Oh, and on another point, I like the way people are quick to ask anyone with a differing opinion here whether they’re modded or not… there’s a nice ‘closed community’ vibe going on that some people take pretty seriously 🙂

I have a question for MistahG…..what country are YOU from? I’m guessing Australia. Am I right? For the record, I’m from Australia, and proud of it.

I definitely don’t think the quality of this tattoo is a “style” personally, but maybe it is? “50′s watercolor print” is definitely hitting the nail on the head, but unfortunately with this appearing to be a fresh tattoo I don’t think it’ll heal out very well. Not to mention how shaky a lot of the linework is.
Having said that, I still really like the tattoo. I’m all for silly tattoos. Shit… I’m covered in them. Sometimes the tattoo itself has way more meaning than the qualiity of it. On the other side of the coin though, it’s nice to have a really amazingly well-done reminder of your memories that serves as both a reminder as well as a piece of art.

David – Nope, although he is from the commonwealth… MistahG is from England if he is who I think he is.
