Spooky coincidence. Just last night we were watching Fear and Loathing, my friend exclaimed “I have to get that phrase tattooed on me!” So this afternoon I started designing a tattoo for him – and now he doesn’t want it ‘cos someone else has it 🙁
I’ll just have to come up with a design so great he can’t /not/ get it done 🙂

#9: I know of several people who have this phrase tattooed on them, including one person with it on his hands. That’s a pretty silly reason not to get a phrase tattooed on you. I’m going to get it on myself eventually.

it is pretty cool, and i appreciate the hint of asscheek. on the other hand it doesn’t really look like steadman’s lettering to me, this is way neater. steadman did a lot with differently sized letters and varying line thickness.
it’s still a fine sentiment, for sure.

Just WOW. Thats all I have to say.

No one said it was Steadman’s lettering, it’s Steadman-esque.
And number 22, mind your own fucking business. You don’t know me, take your negativity some where else.
