More Zombies

Please excuse me for posting about my own tattoos so much this week, but I can't help myself! I'll post some legitimately terrible tattoos soon, don't worry!<br /><br />You guys should all know by now that I am fascinated by flash tattoos and tattoos that come from the same drawing but look different. The tattoo I got on Friday was part of a Friday the 13th special, where you could get any flash zombie on a sheet for $40. I chose the classic coming-out-of-the-grave-zombie, and it turns out three of my friends went for the same thing. One of my friends and I got sxe zombies, my other two friends got the zombie as he was on the sheet. Here are all four zombies for comparison (done by three different artists, see if you can spot the two that were done by the same person). <br /><br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/zombies/chummy.jpg" width="500"><br /><br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/zombies/alicezombie.jpg" width="500"><br /><br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/zombies/joshzombie.jpg" width="500"><br /><br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/zombies/pcd.jpg" width="500">

Bad straightedge tattoos volume one: text

I have a confession to make. I secretly love bad straightedge tattoos (maybe because I am straightedge? probably because they are just goofy). I actually secretly love all bad tattoos, that's why I do this blog. But I have a special soft spot in my heart for three x's that are stick-and-poked into someone's ankle. Many people get them, many people regret them later, but they are still awesome. These abominations, however, are <i>not</i> so awesome. Behold: the bad straightedge tattoos, volume one.<br /><br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/sxe/dscn0429.jpg?t=1232038765" width="500"><br />Bad font, bad linework, bad coloring, bad placement, just a generally bad idea. <br /><br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/sxe/STRAIGHT-EDGE-tattoo-59839.jpg?t=1232038805" width="500"><br />Ditto! Only worse. <br /><br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/sxe/StraightEdgewatersplash.jpg?t=1232038835"><br />Why did he decide to put the text in a pool of water? I don't understand!<br /><br /><img src="http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/awfultattoos/sxe/StarshipTroopersstraightedgebacktat.jpg?t=1232038872" width="500"><br />And finally- starship troopers straight edge dude. I have to admit this is actually pretty awesome, because I too love science fiction and not drinking. I hope this guy had a sense of humor about what he was doing, because that instantly turns this questionable tattoo into a hilarious and rad one. <br /><br />If you have any regrettable edge tattoos (or any other kind of regrettable tattoo, for that matter) feel free to email me: alice@vivalavinyl.org.
