Happy Memorial Saturday, America! What better way enjoy a long weekend than with, hmm, a tattoo of a platypus, nature’s most perfect killing machine? Hey, works for me. The lady above writes in:
So I went to the tattoo expo in Spokane, Washington, yesterday and my friend asked me when I was going to get a platypus on me. I’ve always wanted one. So he went up so this guy, and asked if he’d do a tattoo. Daniel, the artist, was super stoked to do it and drew it out that night. I went back today thinking for $100 I’d have a little wimpy platty drawn out…and instead he showed me this almost full page sketch! He’s an awesome guy and kicked butt at making an “old school” looking platypus. I’m in love with it. The end.
More shots after the jump? You bet your sweet duck-billed ass there are.
(Tattoo by Daniel from Hopeless Ink in Vancouver, Washington.)

actually, the plural of playtpus (as with the plural of octopus) is up for debate. platypi is a plural based on second declension latin nouns (-us singular, -i plural) but the -pus of platypus is actually from a greek word. from the greek, platypodes would be the most correct plural. as with octopi/octopodes/octopuses, platypuses is also accepted as a plural form. just putting that out there before a squabble about plurals.
nerd love!
