    It’s nice, but it’ll suck if he ever decides to change his diet!

    Why should he?

    This one rocks

    Honestly, even if he doesn’t stay vegan forever, it’s a really nice tattoo that I doubt would be regretted.

    Looks like he has to take a shit.

    I never got some vegans. I’m all for whatever you want to do, but you don’t see many people donning scene “Carnivore” tattoos around lately…
    I don’t know, never felt like I needed to tell the world via tattoo how much I love a good steak.
    Hmm.
    An idea?
    Maybe.

    sara, I was thinking this when I first saw it, but there may be a lot of reasons as to why he’s vegan whereas there isn’t a reason why people eat ‘normally’.

    damn it, I’ve tried and tried but I can’t get that sentence to sound right…i hope you know what I mean?

    Oooh I love this, the bananas as “wings” looks really awesome.

    #13, maybe people are more blatant about veganism because it can be a lifestyle choice (often it involves a more environmentally friendly lifestyle, and ethical buying for example.) This doesn’t seem to be the case as much with meat eaters. Sort of like straightedge is a lifestyle.

    Not that I’m saying all vegans are environmentally friendly ethical buyers and no meat eaters are. But in my experience, vegans are generally more aware.

    I hope that came across right?

    Eitherway, I do love that tattoo on that body!

    “whereas there isn’t a reason why people eat ‘normally’.”

    Pretty much.

    Although I have seen someone with a bacon tattoo on modblog before.

    That is a very nice tattoo! Although I do love meat, I really like fruit-themed tatts, I have cherries at least…

    I think vegan tattoos are awesome (that may be because I am vegan). I always wanted an inner lip tattoo that said vegan, but I already have “fuck” tattooed there. I’m not sure “vegan fuck” or “fuck vegan” would really work out. Oh well.

    That being said I know a guy who has a fast food/junk food themed sleeve.

    i generally don’t agree with vegans’ taste, but this guy’s is great… at least in terms of his tattoo…

    and i sure do like his mismatched lobes.

    he cant be vegan. hes not skinny enough

  32. hellonightmare Avatar

    uneven lobes fucking irritate me.

  33. Shannon Larratt Avatar

    kelson – When I was vegan my weight settled at about 225 pounds (I was 270 when I started being vegan). I eat a broader diet right now, but it wasn’t until I switched to meat (and added a bit more physical activity) that I started dropping weight like crazy and am about 165 right now… There are plenty of vegans with meat on their bones — some of the biggest body builders out there are vegetarian (not many are fully vegan though).

    so…the asymmetry of his ears kind of bothers me. i didn’t notice at first – i couldn’t figure out what was wrong with his head:) i’m vegan and it makes me sad that i don’t love his tattoo (although it is well done, i just don’t like it) – i feel like i’m somehow a failure…

    that’s hot. and i like the black & white sleeve.

    Every place that sells meat are doing some kind of merchandising.

    And, here (In Brazil) have some posters on the Subway telling to all “Eat more meat”.

    Everything that goes on the other way of your “social life” will bother you. You just need to RESPECT, as I do. (I am Vegetarian, not Veggie)

    BTW, the point is the really nice done tattoo. It’s a Piece of Art. 🙂

    Not my style… at all.
    But it’s a well done tattoo. Beautiful scroll work and color. Love the banana-wings.

    Just correcting. I’m Vegetarian not VEGAN.

    i wish it were practical and cost effective for me, a very poor college student to be closer to vegan (read: i don’t have a car to drive to the grocery store/ farmer’s market in, let alone money to spend once i get there). i really should incorperate more whole foods into my diet anyways, but i would love to eat almost all whole foods like fruit and veg. that would make my body so happy! i dont think i would be able to go totally vegetarian even though, cause meat makes my body happy too. I really respect the vegan and vegetarian lifestyles though, it takes a great deal of commitment and dedication! props to all you herbivores out there!

    that aside though, this is a really tastefully (heyooo! pun!) done tattoo. I really like the way the color combinations and choice of script style work together. also, the pseudo-tattered banner seems like it fits the style really really well. awesome!!

  42. Jamie Avatar

    I really like that tattoo, especially the banana wings. It’s really well done.

    I wouldn’t handle the asymetry of the lobes, though.

    posture, posture. chill on the mismatched lobes, some of us like to lean.

    ohhh i know chubby vegan boys exist. i need look no further than the mirror to know that ! interesting about your weight loss with meat, ive also heard the exact opposite (a friend not being able to keep any weight on with her vegetarian diet). its just the diversities of the human body.
