A Children’s Treasury of Offensive Tattoos


Mike has been featured on ModBlog before on account of being in possession of some of the most patently offensive (and awesome?) tattoos in the land. Well, he’s added some more to the collection, so I thought, Hey, it’s been at least a few seconds since someone posted to the last wondrous flamewar, what the hell. The one up top is by Painless J at Marlowe Ink in Fairfax, Virginia. Says Mike of the piece: “Don’t take this the wrong way, I really do love and respect them.” No doubt!

Painless J did the honors on this one as well, to which Mike adds: “I’ve gotten my redwings so many times I should be able to fly by now.” Hey, that was my twelfth-grade yearbook quote! Biter.

And now, perhaps the most indefensibly tasteless tattoo I have ever seen, after the jump.

This was committed by Mikey Cheese, who was presumably admitted into witness protection immediately afterward, at Hot Rod Tattoo in Galloway, New Jersey. I’m going to go take a long, hot shower.

    So this is obviously someone who’s never seen a real tampon. Hint: if it’s furry, throw it out, don’t use it.

    Maybe I’m the only one who gets the tattoo?? The saying “dental floss” refers to orally satisfying a woman while on her cycle. So, if I “get it”, that’s not a hairy tampon, that is a vagina. Poorly drawn, but.. that’s what I get from it.

    And no excuse for the rape/children tattoo. None.

    this guy probably has the best collection of lol tattoos i’ve ever seen. it probably says something about me that i looked through these and the last post of his tattoos and the only one that shocked me was the bloody tampon. talk about cannibalism, transexuals and even child rape but i’m grossed out by a tampon. go figure.

    Maybe it’s just me, but the dental floss one, yeah I didn’t know what that was until I read the explanation, it looks more like a bloody anchovy on a string, I have yet in my 35 years as a female to see a furry tampon…and I hope I never will.
    As far as the content is concerned, to each their own.

    If that is suppose to be a vagina then the artist has no visiual concept of female anatomy.

    Hey oppositronic – my DAD flipped at my skull tattoo, so don’t worry, the ‘good ol’ days’ are still here :p

    These tattoos are too stupid and poorly done to be offensive. The tampon one although… questionable… could have been cool if it was well executed and didn’t look like a sledge-hammered mouse with a string for a tail. The rape one… actually reminds me of someone I knew, and he was an alright guy, just with a really effed up sense of humour, so I kinda laughed…. O_o

    Thanks to DB for introducing that to me.

    Not but, I think people are being strangely a little harsh. It isn’t funny, yet at the same time the wearer might have a skewed humor and that’s fine. Last time I thought if I wanted to say or do something that is perfectly legal I could speak my mind about it, so he can too. Does it mean he rapes children? I hope not, but does it mean he has a right to get a tattoo that seems inappropriate to someone else? Of course.
