LOL! I have that mug! I stole it from the diner (and a sugar shaker) because the coffee was putrid and the cherry pie awful! It was soooo busy in there! I LOVE you tattoo, and my mug too!
crap
2 – Harsh, but agreed.
It’d be nice to have the story behind it I guess..
Awesome! I just finished watching that show!
I want to know what compelled this person to get this tattooed on them..
@6. Dale Cooper compelled this person.
EPIC TATTOO
this makes me smile. I am getting a tattoo somewhat similar, but completely different subject matter. Similar in that it’ll be equally as humourous and off-the-wall.
which is why I’m assuming the wearer got it: cose ORIGINAL joke tattoos are the shit. (yeah, I’m talking to all you people with the played-out-as-hell finger tattoos haha).
ohhhh…. I love it now that I read the comments. I totally did not get the show reference at first.
I approve.
That is absolutely freaking awesome!
Minus the style (I abhor old/new-school stuff)…
ahah!!!
Epic win :3
dude this is amazing love <3
I disagree with some of the above, I love the style, It’s clean, nostalgic & charming
I only I know of twin peaks from watching vh1 and the “I love the…” series. This is great.
This rules. Bonus! Bonus! Bonus!
Descendents.
i LOVE ashley love’s work.
A totally worthwhile reference to have inked on you, Mr Cooper has to be the coolest agency man ever. In one of the best TV shows ever too.. Also, I like the “and hot!” nudged in on the right there!
Hurray-this tattoo is mad cool. Twin Peaks, in my opinion, was the best tv program ever, and Special Agent Dale Cooper, loved him so much we named our dog after him. I would be happy looking at this tattoo forever.
as soon as i saw the top of it before scrolling down i knew it was ashley love. damn i need to go to see her so she can finish my work. i miss her 🙁
I have no idea what it’s referencing to…But I still love it!!..
according to that link, that isn’t ashley love.
Lydia – I think it is? She works at Golden Spiral anyway, maybe her IAM name isn’t the same as her given name?
The amount of people who don’t get the reference is beginning to make me feel like a dinosaur(albeit a particularly young dinosaur).
I think it’s killer.
Hah I love that show.
Awesome tattoo!
RooRaaah, according to her iam page it says:
contrary to popular belief, I am not ashley love. we are friends, both work at the same shop, and have the same name, but I don’t do tattoos and we are not the same person.
Lydia – Oops, haha. I’ll edit the entry now 🙂
This is ashleys website- http://ohashleylove.com/ but i dont think its been updated.
that SENIOR droolcup to you, boyo!
while im not a fun of the “neo-traditional” style, i think this tat is great!
yet another TP tat idea taken!
btw, are you TP fans aware that David Lynch is doing a film with Werner Herzog?!?
is that not sheer awesomeness?
BEST TATTOO EVER.
i LOOOVE it!!! coffee lovers UNITE!! i just got one too. how fun!
“black as midnight on a moonless night”
i love this
thanks, everyone!!
special agent dale cooper is my hero and I love a damn fine cup of hot, black coffee.
I guess there wasn’t a fish in the percolator this time
Nice tattoo btw
ashley is a babe!
