"Traditional Japanese Good Luck Charm"

By Shannon • Jun 22nd, 2007 • Category: ModBlog

Seems a little frightening — I will have to remind myself not to run away from luck? Sarvas had this vulva-creature done by Anthony P. at 11th St. Electric Gallery in SLC, Utah.

    That’s very interesting. I’m not sure what to think. I always feel lucky when I’m around one but maybe not if it’s wearing a cloak. It looks rather “Grim”. *Forehead Slap* Sorry

    I don’t think it’s a moustache, it looks to me like it’s font but I can’t make out what it says.

    (in ghost voice)
    “ooOOooOoOoBBBooOoO!”

    thats what i hear in my head when i look at that tattoo. also, in my mind, the fingers animate and just kind of move around like worms.

    Am I the only one who thinks it’s a cute Vulva Creature?

  14. Ciepher on June 22nd, 2007 at 11:18 pm:

    I don’t know about vulva creatures, but I have heard that in Japan it was considered lucky for men in high risk professions (firemen, soldiers, etc.) to carry some pornography around with them.

    Raven, I do too ;)

  16. possessed on June 22nd, 2007 at 11:57 pm:

    I really, really don’t like like vulva tattoos. But hey, each to his own. I think it would kind of squick me out if my partner had one though :-s

  19. gillian gamine on June 23rd, 2007 at 3:51 am:

    18, i had something in mind to say, but your horrible/wonderful pun made me forget entirely what it was!

  20. Reout on June 23rd, 2007 at 4:59 am:

    I must say I don’t like armpit tattoes of any kind.
    But the vulva creature IS kinda cute. I like his hands

  21. TooExtreme4Me on June 23rd, 2007 at 5:17 am:

    I agree with #13, when i first saw it, i though “Have i been around this sight so long that i’m seeing things?” Glad to hear that i’m not, and it’s very creative.
