HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

On iam:SlowPoke, done by Will Bodnar at Laughing Buddha in Seattle, Washington. I was starting to get tired of gag finger tattoos, but this is pretty funny and original.

    Air quotes are the most annoying things on the planet. That tattoo’s hilarious though.

  6. marysparks on February 21st, 2007 at 2:01 pm:

    Oh man, i totally dig that!

  7. possessed on February 21st, 2007 at 2:12 pm:

  10. SmallPotatoGato on February 21st, 2007 at 2:56 pm:

  11. lilish on February 21st, 2007 at 3:13 pm:

  12. cuntcumber on February 21st, 2007 at 3:19 pm:

    Now someone just needs to figure out how to tattoo an air guitar….

  13. Lotus on February 21st, 2007 at 3:23 pm:

    i love those

  14. lost raevyn on February 21st, 2007 at 3:23 pm:

    That is FANTASTIC!

    Though you know it’s probably going to take off like the finger-mustache tattoo…

  15. betty on February 21st, 2007 at 3:24 pm:

    This is amazing!

  16. Kate on February 21st, 2007 at 3:35 pm:

    Hahaha, that’s awesome.

  17. mpatshi on February 21st, 2007 at 3:45 pm:

    best idea ever!! I wish I’d come up with that first

  18. Yom on February 21st, 2007 at 3:51 pm:

    Could he somehow cross them over… like on his face to make a moustache?

  19. MarmeladeFlesh on February 21st, 2007 at 4:06 pm:

    GENIUS!

  20. Siohban on February 21st, 2007 at 4:30 pm:

    BRILLIANT! i actually laughed out loud, haha.

  21. Siobhan on February 21st, 2007 at 4:31 pm:

    ugh, apparently i can’t even spell my own name today, haha.

  22. Bryce on February 21st, 2007 at 4:43 pm:

    Haha, I’m jealous.

  23. b4k4n3k0 on February 21st, 2007 at 5:05 pm:

    I use air quotes with extreme sarcasm all the time. I wish I had thought of that!

  24. Emily on February 21st, 2007 at 5:17 pm:

    bEST FINGER TATTOOS EVER.

  25. carlovely on February 21st, 2007 at 5:21 pm:

    YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

  26. Lunar on February 21st, 2007 at 6:14 pm:

    OMG I was drinking beer and I almost exploded when I saw that. It’s fucking brillant :D

  27. kawaface on February 21st, 2007 at 6:18 pm:

    i think this and the sandwich knuckle tattoos are my very favorite finger tattoos:)

  28. Omicron91 on February 21st, 2007 at 6:19 pm:

    This beats the finger moustache by a LARGE margin!

  29. Sami on February 21st, 2007 at 6:35 pm:

    Oh how I love Luis and Will’s an awesome tattoo artist!!!

  30. Dizzy Chair Time on February 21st, 2007 at 7:06 pm:

    That’s the best! Way better than finger mustaches.

  31. Verena on February 21st, 2007 at 7:14 pm:

    the most creative tattoo ive seen ;)

    very nice

  32. rosie on February 21st, 2007 at 7:28 pm:

    I was going to get this (no lie).

    Shame the ones on his right hand (left in the picture) are upside down.

    [/pedant]

    Cool though.

  33. Magician on February 21st, 2007 at 7:50 pm:

    Silly Bugger :D

  34. massaar on February 21st, 2007 at 8:04 pm:

    hahahaha that’s so classic.

  35. colin on February 21st, 2007 at 8:12 pm:

    That’s pretty funny. I hope he cherish’s it’s uniqueness while it lasts. i give it a month before an army of followers copycat him just like all the mustache’s and tear’s out there.

  36. Katie on February 21st, 2007 at 8:14 pm:

    These are great! Love it!

  37. Anna on February 21st, 2007 at 8:24 pm:

    Haha, looks like claws. I like it!

  38. kleptesvirgo on February 21st, 2007 at 8:25 pm:

    Numbers 28 and 30 are right-on.
    This is my favorite finger tattoo yet.

  39. Whitney on February 21st, 2007 at 9:26 pm:

    Hahaha! Why does this man make me think of Garth Algar?

  40. SARAHPANIC on February 21st, 2007 at 9:37 pm:

    that’s something i would definitely get.

  41. HereKittyKitty on February 21st, 2007 at 10:52 pm:

    This would make air-quotes a lot more bearable =)

  42. ÈMþRꧧ on February 21st, 2007 at 11:19 pm:

    Cannot help smiling with him, great photo, nice quotes :)

  43. Lilee on February 22nd, 2007 at 12:27 am:

    Oh god, I love that!

  44. billiejane on February 22nd, 2007 at 1:18 am:

    I like them, but it really annoys me that the second set are upside down. it should look like 66 and 99… Oh well, still pretty nice.

  45. billiejane on February 22nd, 2007 at 1:20 am:

    oops first set (on his right hand as #32 said) are the upside-downers :)

  46. MajikMan on February 22nd, 2007 at 1:21 am:

    Fun idea, but one of them is upside down…..isn’t it?

  47. Rockerbaby on February 22nd, 2007 at 1:23 am:

    I chuckled when I saw it xD It made me happy.

  48. good choice on February 22nd, 2007 at 1:34 am:

    “good idea”

    it makes you look “intelligent”

    people will now take you “seriously”

  49. Catherine Fertel on February 22nd, 2007 at 2:15 am:

    rosie and MajikMan, yup, the left double quotation mark should resemble “66.”

  50. Shannon Larratt on February 22nd, 2007 at 2:28 am:

    Personally I think he made the right aesthetic decision with the quote shape…

  51. kamagurka on February 22nd, 2007 at 2:43 am:

    Oh God, most brilliant gag tat ever. I wish I could reconcile it with myself to just rip it off.

  52. Yarrbunny on February 22nd, 2007 at 2:43 am:

    Hahaha! that is brilliant!

    I think i know that guy…

  53. Raevyn on February 22nd, 2007 at 3:57 am:

    hahaha AMAZING.

  54. frshhh on February 22nd, 2007 at 4:15 am:

    sorry to be pedantic…

    but the “open quotes” are upside down.

  55. junkyardxdog on February 22nd, 2007 at 8:10 am:

    baHAHAHA
    He looks so happy with it too.

  56. Halo on February 22nd, 2007 at 8:37 am:

    Hee hee, this made me giggle. Say goodbye to finger moustaches, finger air quotes are the next big thing!

  57. av3ry on February 22nd, 2007 at 9:39 am:

    hahahah that is awesome.

  58. Kyrenna on February 22nd, 2007 at 9:58 am:

    I like his smile ten times better then those tats…heh.

  59. Pixie on February 22nd, 2007 at 11:00 am:

    I literally as Oh my god out loud when I saw this. Those are incredibly rad. I want them. Not to mention he looks so cute and happy.

  60. Pixie on February 22nd, 2007 at 11:01 am:

    I’d also like to point out, shouldn’t the ones on the left (his right hand) be the other way around…like, aren’t they upside down?

  61. alice on February 22nd, 2007 at 12:46 pm:

    this is just awesome and gave me a good laugh!!! great job, i guess they are fun to use them im public

  62. albeans on February 22nd, 2007 at 11:27 pm:

    *resists the urge for an outburst towards pedantic posters*

    This is a great idea, he’s super happy, and 90% of the population would have no clue (nor give a shyte) that on of them may be upside down!

    /annoyance

  63. Toser on February 22nd, 2007 at 11:44 pm:

    that’s so good.

  64. Miss C on February 23rd, 2007 at 12:53 am:
