DangerEric may not eat steak, but now with the help of Noelle at Divine Machine in Buffalo, NY, he wears it permanently (“it’s a vegan irony tattoo”)…
Update: Click here for another vegan steak tattoo, this time by TOPSITURBY at Freak’s Lab Body Kustom (Lyon, France).

To all the vegans who said that they’d never do it…there’s going to be veggies in the sleeve too, along with more “halo” on the steak making it kind of a sacred steak with possible a RIP or INRI type thing. It’s definitely not a done piece, but I’m not sure on what’s going to be final.I’m also scrawny so it’s funny to have a tough guy tattoo on the outside of my bicep, so i can “flex my beef”. haeither way, i love it and have had hilarious responses…

So basically from what I can understand of your video, if I was to raise my own meat in respectable conditions, the organic way, kill it using an injection of some sort, it would make it ok for me to eat meat, right?
In reality it’s not about becoming vegetarian or not, it’s about reducing the quantity of meat that we eat, meat is our principal source of proteins, we are naturally made to eat meat, the only problem right now in North America isn’t that we eat it, it’s that we eat meat everyday when we should do so only once or twice a week…
As for all the cruelty, I don’t know haw many times I heard about PETA pushing meat producers to do cruel things (talking about all the beating) to their animals, filming it and presenting it as the raw truth…
I think it’s really funny that they say in Meet your meat that it’s cruel to use a pig that can’t even walk out of the truck to produce meat… Wouldn’t it be muuuch crueler to let it go to waste? At least all of his suffering will have had a goal…
Humans aren’t about to stop eating meat, that’s for sure and considering that we mostly live in cities we’re not about to raise our own meat, which means that unless we reduce our meat consumption a lot those practices will just continue because it’s all about productivity and the sad truth is that it’s probably the way to be the most productive (and cost efficient).

alot of the issue with meat is the “stuff” that is put into it. Un the U.S.A. many meat producers use rBGH (recumbent Boviene Growth Hormone) which is banned in the E.U, Australia and other countries. this is used in meat and dairy cows. Recent studies suggest that rBGH has something to do with the startiling low puberity rates in some areas of the united states (age 7-9). addtionally over consumption of meat can result in colarectal cancer, indigestion problems etc. Also in countries such as canada and the US (and many others) that have used DDT on crops. These crops are not used for growing food for direct human consumption but BUT they legally can be used to grow food for cows and pigs and chicken that are in turn eaten by the human populas. this may not sound like a big deal but tby the process of bio accumulation the toxins (not just DDT) in our food can add up and cause adverse health affects to humans. now for an additional point many of the veggies or vegans I talk to say that they would eat meat of the animals were not kept in such appauling conditions. And I agree with the point above their are categories in which people fall into for their reasons to become vegan or vegitarian such as wanting to fit in, rebeling against the society/protesting the conditions of animals or for health reasons.
Just for the record though meat is incredibly unhealthy in the amounts that the population at large eats it. and ethically we should all be vegitarians (not vegan) in the developed countries since we are able to get around not eating meat and supplimenting ourselves in ways many other people around the world cannot.
well I hope this enlightens some people to whats in your meat and some schools of thought that are out there. hopefully I havent enraged anyone.

As a matter of fact, in many undeveloped countries they don’t eat much meat… I take for example my friend who went to Nicaragua and lived in a family and he pretty much ate rice with beans all the time, he ate meat only a few times during his month there…

I pretty much know the source of the last meat meals I ate. On about 600 uncleared ranch acres the deer had become overpopulated so the herd was permitted to be thinned. This is a wild herd that wasn’t “stocked” in any way. So friends with hunting liscense went in and shot a buck.
It wasn’t mounted or trophied (which is kinda creepy anyway) the deer was cleaned, smoked and made into steaks and sausages and jerky.
And I took some venison steaks.
I know exactly how it was killed and dressed.
I don’t feel guilty about eating an animal that had to be thinned. Sure, in a perfect world I could’ve taken the wild buck and made it a pet in my apartment and dressed it in a hemp oversize doggie sweater. Or relocated it to a “sanctuary” or a petting zoo (wild bucks make great kid toys).
Shit happens and sometimes you sacrifice the few to save the many with wild herd. The animal was killed humanely and used.

#32. Yeah, being “it” in others eyes who don’t know me is a good reason to make a life choice.
Good Charlotte…good grief.
And on a lighter note, I also see faces in the steak tattoo =)

Eloquently stated HereKittyKitty…..the thing I always wonder about is-what about all of the small animals and insects that are displaced and killed by agriculture? what of all the animals that fall victim to the Combine as it clears the fields? is that ‘humane’?…surely living off of the thinned herds roaming about or hunting for personal sustenance is far more ecologically supportable than eating or wearing a bunch of processed stuff that is meant to resemble animals products in taste or texture but end up utilizing non-renewable resources in their creation.

I don’t often eat meat from a store because I’m not sure what sickness the animal had (if it had to be drug to the slaughter) and what sort of hormones was injected into it. I know that the chickens my grandparents butchered did NOT look bloated and really really yellow like the chickens at the supermarket.
Personally, I’d prefer a nice salmon to any red meat. But I’m not sure about farmed fish anymore…and I’m concerned about the pollution in wild waters. I guess you take your chances just as you do eating irradiated (sp), genetically altered, and pesticide tainted fruits and vegetables.
Even with organic foods…you just don’t know what type of tainted rains fall from the skies. Really. It’s falling thru polluted atmosphere.
You just try to get along best you can and live another day.

Wonder about more important things, Heron … 😉
As far as I’m concerned, veganism’s about doing what you can. Unfortunately, it’s true: nobody’s/nothing’s 100% vegan. At some point, some creature somewhere will suffer in some way for something. (Got that?) However, by making responsible choices (with clothing, food, etc.), humans can reduce much unnecessary suffering; and in my opinion, that’s better than nothing.
Also, I haven’t read the rule book, but I’m pretty sure it’s completely uneffective to go on messageboards, ranting with a “holier than thou” attitude about your beliefs — and I’m directing that, in this particular case, to the overzealous omnivores. I never understood why people, when completely unprovoked (see: this forum), get so defensive about their decision to eat meat. RELAX. You’re not being picked on. There’s a very huge difference between being recommended a book/video and being called a murderer. (Side note: MoonChild, check out Earthlings.)
Anyway, I’m not seeing these steak-faces …

ilovecake, I will wonder about what I wish, that you very much, these were merely minor questions I had…and please, leave the condescension at the door. I have had plenty of experience around the propaganda of both camps, and I just don’t see that being the typical vegan is really doing that much for the planet, on the whole.people-want to do something for the real good of the planet, leave civilization.
