Every time I think I've seen the worst body art ever something even worse comes along.

I hope it's just body paint that'll wash off.

HOLY SHIT PIE, WTF?

For pie=3.

What can I say, I heart goatse, and, It's really the best "body art" ever!

posted by pieisexactlythree 23 February | 06:06

It is the joy of my world

Blimey pie, I haven't been classically goatse'd in years.

The shift from goateseing to rickrolling represents the increasing cutesification of the Internet. Discuss.

Going back on-topic, I seriously hope that's not a tattoo too. Maybe it's just a photoshop.

Don't do that again, pie. Seriously.

Looks like someone had one too many sherries at the Portland meetup and then decided to drunk-post.

Back on topic: what in the hell would possess you to get that tattooed on your body?

posted by TheDonF 23 February | 07:38

One too many sherries.

Heh!

That is one butt ugly belly button. No, seriously. i find it far more disturbing because of the navel deformity.

Questions!

1. what is rickrolling?
2. what happened at the PDX meetup?
3. who would ever do something that horrible to a cat's anus and then make a commemorative tattoo of it? That cat's facial expression makes it look like it was rode hard and put away wet.

Beer gut + budweiser boxer shorts + tattoo of cat using bellybutton to represent cat's asshole = chick magnet

Rickrolling is a goofy internet joke.

The prankster posts a link to a forum, breathlessly promotes it as, I don't know, free torrents, free porn, The! Best! Site! Evar!

When people click on the link, they are confronted with a video of Rick Astley doing his goofy groove.

And that's rickrolling.

Some really bad tattoos. There are some classics, and a bunch I'd never seen before like the hamburger under a palm tree. Note that some are NSFW.
I'd've linked to the really bad tattoo.com site, but it looks like it hasn't been updated in forever.
LT - from the Wiki... "It originated on 4chan and took its name from an earlier phenomenon known as "duckrolling", a prank in which someone would post a blind quote to a post allegedly relevant to a discussion that upon viewing would prove to be a non sequitur - specifically, an image of a duck on wheels."
In my experience, when the media finally gets ahold of something, it ususally means any cutting edge a meme may have had is now as blunt as a butter knife.

Pie... what? you drunk? stoned? crushing blow to the head? If you really wanted a break from MeCha, you could've just gone for a walk instead of trying to get banned.

I kinda like the nekkid Indian girl lovin' on the corn dog. And no bad tattoo thread containing goatse is complete without Bartse (maybe NSFW, may cause nightmares, click at own risk, etc.).

Dammit, ej, now I can't stop looking at all the terrible tattoos out there.
There's more stunningly bad belly button tats here. I'm wondering if this is some strange subconscious need to emulate the old sailor tattoos, in which they'd get ships propellers tattooed on each butt-cheek to allow them maintain their balance on the deck of a ship, or get a hinge on in the crook of their arm so their arms would move better. That phenomena was probably taken from aboriginal cultures that would get stylized tattoos of animals in order to channel the desired ability to the wearer. Not sure how a cat's butt really figures into this, but there's no accounting for stupidity, is there?
There's a whole bunch of historic examples of the meanings behind the old sailor tats here, at WikiAnswers, which is a neat read, if you're interested.

Ewwwww.....

Another (totally NSFW) belly button tattoo.

posted by essexjan 23 February | 13:21

Oh good god, this one's as bad, if not worse. And again NSFW.

posted by essexjan 23 February | 13:24

I bet he's tried to stretch his manhood to see if it'll go into his bellybutton.

posted by TheDonF 23 February | 15:37

Well, and really, who hasn't?!

posted by Specklet 23 February | 15:51

Gives picking at belly button lint a whole new context...

sorry

posted by Pips 23 February | 16:24

OMG. I have tears in my eyes from laughing at some of the tattoos on the site Zack_Replica linked to.

Well, and really, who hasn't?!

You, hopefully!

i like ones that just look like line drawings or purposeful scribbles.
i like this one a lot more than most but i don't really think i need to hear the drug trip buddy story that inspired it. Who else can find Orio's Belt of Backne?

Having recently seen the "anal starfish tattoo" (Just don't google it hmm-kay.), I'm pretty desensitised to all dodgy tattoos.

Orio's Belt of Backne.....heehee.
