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).

Okay, I am seriously having modblog withdrawal issues. I check it literally every 30 minutes, and have been so bored this weekend, especially today – I look forward to new posts, I’d rather trawl through every photo here than do my work haha

Moonchild: I don’t know why you would try to argue with me, I’m basically saying that yes we should reduce our meat consumption but I’m just realistic, there’s no way everyone will stop eating meat… And you can’t argue with the fact that we are biologically made to eat meat otherwise I will have to direct you to the definition of canine tooth (and also the fact that we can digest meat is a pretty good hint) 😉

I am sure it is against the posting etiquette but i haven’t read all the comments-
personally I am a vegetarian and always have been- as well my children are- but that is a ‘choice’ and if I wish to be respected in my choices I will pay the same honor to others.
I do think there is more to the debate about humans being carnivores or herbivores than what has been stated.
I am sure it could be widely debated either way-
still I tend to think we are omnivores and even that is cultural rather than biological perhaps.
our jaws- teeth (including canines)- length shape and texture of our intestines- our alkaline saliva- colons- stomach size, kidney, liver- lack of claws- they are all more inline with the biology of an herbivore.
I am not even sure i would agree that we can *digest* meat- heart disease is a scary thing to me.
Still we evolve and change and adapt and while I can hope for certain changes in lifestyle and environmental impacts to the planet- I don’t begrudge those who choose to eat meat. It isn’t my place as far as I can see.

Ok, here’s the thing about saying that eating an animal that had to be thinned that’s completely idiotic. Until humans decided to interfere and kill animals for food, pleasure or whatever other sick reason you see fit, animals had this thing called natural predators and nature kind of took it’s course and thinned the herds on it’s own. Now that we kill whatever we feel like, make animals go extinct etc that doesn’t happen anymore so we justify our actions by saying we are stepping in and being human and killing off over-populated animals. It’s ok if you eat meat, it’s your choice to senslessly kill an animal even though you can eat plenty of other things that are way healthier BUT being ignorant and not knowing what you are talking about isn’t really forgiveable. It’s still your choice to eat meat though I guess and personal attacks are boring so I guess I shouldn’t judge you eh? Considering we are on a website that promotes not judging people based on their choices…don’t you think we should all stop being complete and total dickheads? 🙂 We should all do our part to help save lives, the planet and ourselves since we know we have so many problems so don’t say a choice that helps save animals and the planet and cholesterol levels/weight problems is wrong. kthx 🙂
I’m vegetarian and proud to be. If you don’t think eating meat is bad for you, you should really do some research. Plus, you are killing animals for FLESH. Why not start eating humans? I’m sure you don’t see that as proper so why is it ok to eat one flesh yet not another. 😛

Also, our “canine” teeth are merely stumps compared to animals that actually are designed to eat meat. Go ahead and compare your stump to a lion and tell me they are the same tooth. Our intestines are designed the same way plant eating animals are, not meat eating animals AND we end up with all kinds of diseases and problems with our body from too much consumption of meat. You may say that we aren’t doing a whole lot by not eating meat but then again, at least we aren’t killing animals, polluting our bodies and basically fucking the world over either…that’s a pretty big accomplishment to me 😀
There are more and more people choosing to eat healthier and help out every day so we can all hope that one day we will realise how bad our actions really are. Being vegan or vegetarian doesn’t make you any less of a man, any less of a person or any of that…in fact the only thing that it does is piss off you meat eaters because when you talk to a vegan or vegetarian you realise how wrong eating meat is 🙁

Animals are animals and the very fact that this creature exists to mindlessly reproduce so that I, a thinking and sentient creature, can eat the now dead flesh of an animal that WOULD NOT EVEN EXIST IF WE DIDN’T WANT TO EAT IT.
Have any vegans considered this? Cows and pigs in the states they are born live and die now only exist because we bred all the dangerous characteristics out of wild stock so they’d be easier to kill.
Plus, when a combine goes throw grain it kills untold millions of rabbits, birds, snakes and other wild creatures. One dead cow can feed a whole family for a week.
Sure factory farms are bad, but just quitting the meat team because some meat is produced immorally is like not wearing clothes at all because some clothes are produced immorally.
Why do vegans deny all meat eating but insist that coffee and clothes be free trade? Why doesn’t peta admit that eating meat isn’t immoral, but that immorally producing meat is immoral.

No tension here. Just odd that whenever there is a reference to meat, that most (not all) vegetarians/vegans have to make the announcement “I don’t eat meat, but…” whether it has relevance to the modification/pic or whatever.
Why would you need to announce it?
When they put up the pic of the veggie sleeve, I felt NO need to comment “Well, I eat meat and you should consider doing it too. Lemme tell you why..”
Just as I feel it’s rude to have a personal religion trumpeted as superior (or sexual preference for that matter) I get tired of having the herbal bible thumped at me.
So I put my personal comment that yes, I do eat meat a couple times a week. And so?
I realize that the majority of vegetarians/vegans do NOT take a holier-than-thou stance. But the ones who do are going to turn people off from even taking the time to hear what they say.
And having teeth and stomach that aren’t inline to the right biology to eat meat is as relevant to me as the fact that my body wasn’t biologically/reproductively intended to have gay sex. I certainly hope people won’t look down on that as well. But each to their own.
Different strokes, guys.

Vance, I respect your views but I really DO think there’s a difference between eating a salmon and a human. Maybe not a whole lot. But some.

Earthlings is what made me into a vegetarian. But really guys, why are you all so uptight about a personal choice? You eat meat, I don’t. If you don’t try and force me to eat it, I won’t try and force you not to. It’s ironic (like that tattoo) that people who are supposedly so open-minded can’t just accept that not everyone thinks the same way.
Anyways, I think I’m the only one who can’t see a face 🙁 And I’m looking forward to seeing the progression. Keep us updated!

Lol, somewhat. It’s still meat though. I’m just saying like…this is a perfectly nice looking tattoo and instead of someone dissing on that they choose to disrespect his views and say that it’s wrong to be vegan etc. Lame. Just like if someone got on here and was commenting about how it’s wrong to be lesbian or w/e I would get pissed off and back you up as well…comment on the MOD not the persons views. If you got a tattoo that promoted same sex marriage I’m sure people would only fucking comment that being gay is wrong…shit like that pisses me off. 😐

And can someone please point out where it was said that being a vegan is WRONG? I didn’t see anyone say that once.
