As much as it’s going to make the butcher’s job easier thanks to the tattoo by Keegan Lam (Halifax, Nova Scotia), I think he’s going to have to put some more meat on his bones if he wants to find himself on the post-apocalyptic menu.

cool ink, one furry furry chap though!
So, uh… Who wants dibs on the rump?
I saw this and was like ‘ his hair grows in funny’ .. and then i thought to myself ‘ ..you ass they had to shave it for the tattoo’ .. but I do like the idea =)
oh man, i love this so so so much. especially around the neck.
Hrmz, I don’t like this at all tbh. I find it looks like one of them paper cut out dolls way too much. Maybe when I see him again with his hair grown on properly I might change my mind though. Since especially that last pic turned me off 😉
i really like this.
Hehe, that’s great ^_^
Does anyone else spot a third nipple on the first pic? or could be a weird mole…anyways..nice tattie!
“It puts the lotion on it’s skin!”
#9, That’s what I thought of too!
#3-Better than me! I thought, “Why do his body hair grow in so funny?” and didn’t come up with answer. Then I read the comments and thought, “you ass…of COURSE they shaved it for the tattoo, the tattoo is obviously fresh…duh!” I like the tattoo though! My brain is apparentely pretty slow in the mornings.
his fuzzy patches are hilarious
LOVE
Curiosity: is this intended to be a sort of vegan/vegetarian artistic statement?
I would so eat that. And I totally mean that in the figurative sense.
I noticed the hair too. =D But I got it right away. Why not just shave it all off?
Not into the hairiness but the ink is very cleverly done. I like it.
Just a little tidbit:

amazing!
pauly shore look-alike
Kinda reminds me of tailor chalk marks.
Awfully cool though.
I went to Junior High with that kid!
I’m really entertained by this tattoo.
ahhh, i LOVE this!!! reminds me of the y-incision autopsy tattoos and scarifications you’ve posted before. i’m a huge fan.
The actual story on this guy is he’s a chef, and apparently has always promised his closest friends that when he dies they can eat him. I don’t know how serious he is, but there you go. Also it’s not done yet, next session is his arms and legs too, and we’re labelling all the sections in french as well.
hahaha ps I left the hair cuz it looks funny. Like a coco-bra of hair
This is nice and interesting work. Proves that we are all meat puppets;P
The way it’s lined around the neck, shoulders & arms… it makes me want to sew a shirt for him lol
I really didn´t think this looked good until I read #26 explanation. Now, with some kind of reason and background story, I think the tattoo is hilariously. Just proves my point that body modifications (as well as art) always needs reason to be great, not just aesthetics.
That guy is incredibly hot. The tat is awesome, too.
I work with this guy, he’s the sous-chef at the place I dishwash at. He has label for every cut now and a salt and pepper shaker on his fingers
