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!

Campbell brings up some fantastic points we would all do well to consider.
Calling people names and being closed minded to their opinions never opens any doors.

It’s just a fun tattoo. I’m not seeing the big deal here at all. LOL that this guy actually thinks the girl got it to celebrate hot dogs or thinks hot dogs are more important than world culture. Overanalyze much? It’s just a fun tattoo and a way to capture some fun memories she has about growing up and hanging out with friends. Sorry she didn’t grow up hanging out at the Sistine Chapel or something, but I’m sure if MistahG would like to pay her airfare, she’d be thrilled to go.

Modblog is apparently – “a body modification blog featuring some of the best images and stories from the BME archives”
This is neither one of the best images (possibly the worst) and has absolutely no narrative so the story is unknown too.
Ergo this is a truly awful tattoo that many are forgiving purely because of what they imagine is the reason behind it.
All we know for sure is that it was “like a second home”.
God-awful rubbish that is neither one of the best images or better stories from BME.
Standards sure are slipping round here when 50plus people consider a poorly drawn and conceived image of a hot-dog stall with no narrative as being amongst the better contributions to BME.
Poor in every sense.

I’d LOVE to see what you mods you have MistahG !!Show the world how brilliant your mods are. That’s assuming you have some.

Maybe this cynicism is a British thing then. Whilst I would refrain from being as vitriolic as MistahG, I must concur that the notion of using a fast food restaurant as a reference point for all that is good in life makes me dispair just a little bit.
Yes, it may inspire happy memories…it may even be intended as ironic. But let’s be honest; if they had had an image of their local McDonalds or Burger King tattooed on their leg then I’m sure people would have been far quicker to pour scorn upon it – despite the fact that the sentiments intended could be just as sincere. I seem to remember a quite different reaction to a Colonel Sanders tattoo on this very blog a few months ago.
But maybe I’m just a snob.

Oh, MistahG. I’m just, like, totally floored by your mods. Seriously. The intrigue! The meaning! I can barely wrap my head around it all.

C’mon, this country is the home of Andy Warhol… of *course* there are going to be people who take icons like a hotdog stand and turn them in to a personal piece of art. There’s nothing wrong with that.
If the places I where hung out during my formative years had interesting signs instead of weathered, painted plywood I would consider getting a tattoo of them… but when the hangouts available are all taquerias and gas stations, the spiffy icons just aren’t there.
And by the way, I don’t see how a microdermal with linework (self done or not) that looks like it’s inspired by celtic knotwork is any more significant than a rather spiffy sign from a hot-dog stand.

Smurf – I never made any claims that it was more significant.I merely responded to a request for some of my work.

With the amount of criticism you have posted about this tattoo, one would think you feel your work is of a higher caliber.

“MistahG” – you made me smile when I finally saw your mods.
I don’t think you understand the general philosophy behind body modifications-I kinda get the feeling you do it just to look “different” or “unusual”, not because you actually want it.
Because if you do actually want and like your mods, you would undertstand the reasoning behind this tattoo.
I still stand behind my “un-educated” comment as you clearly are not educated in any shape or form in the psychology of human beings and what makes people happy.
I’m ashamed that you come from a country near to me (I am in Scotland)!

that makes me smile to look at. it’s fun and has a kinda vintage feel. i would love to know the reasoning behind it too
btw david, not only do we love to complain, the best of us have it down to an art form! (though mistahg isn’t one of that group!)

If your going to court bad taste go the whole way and turn yourself into a hotdog joint.
I must say I do rather like it, dunno why it makes me 🙂
