Filled With Whipped Cream

By Jordan Ginsberg • Dec 29th, 2008 • Category: ModBlog


God, this is just cruel. What kind of sick Island of Doctor Moreau shit is this, anyway? I’m all for freedom of expression and all, but making light of and ignoring the serious issues affecting miniature giraffes in this decadent, modern society? Not amused. Not amused at all.

(Ha ha, just kidding. This awesome “jaraffe” is by Caleb at Studio City Tattoo in Studio City, California.)

    I exclaimed “JARAFFE” when Phil showed me the image today! That won’t surprise a lot of you though..

    I love me some puns.

    Was anyone else’s first instinct “Drowned Giraffe”? Maybe I’m weird.

    I’m telling you, the Jaraffes of today. In my day, we had no air. That Jaraffe is cheating. He can lift his head up and take a breath whenever he wants. If he was truly a Jaraffe, he would learn to breathe under water. He is, to put it simply, a wannabe Jaraffe.

    Because of the originality of the tattoo, not because it being executed extremely well.
    Which in my opinion it is, simplicity is an art on itself.

    But, won’t he drown? :(

  13. RooRaaah Crumbs on December 30th, 2008 at 10:08 am:

    frogster - What if you rolled the jar down a hill?

    Or shook it like a snowglobe then turned it upside down..

    Finally. I’m glad someone properly depicted the habitat for such a creature.

  15. T on December 31st, 2008 at 1:17 am:

    I understand the pun but all I see is a giraffe drowning. :(
