Bad Tat Tuesday! The Kid Edition!

-
No matter how hard they try, I have never seen a portrait of a kid transfer to a tat that looked worth a damn. I think it's a nice idea, especially if you have lost a child, but maybe a picture in your wallet is better.





Bonus points for the proximity to your nip!


The one on the right... Wow, just wow.


Probably the best of the bunch.


Turned a baby pic into some demon out of hell!




I can't help but think very old Chinese guy.


And we have a winner! That will live in my nightmares for weeks!

    People, buy a locket.

    My word ver is "tarbain". I think it is missing a "r" in there.

    I think they all got a tat of the same baby. Or maybe they all just got tats of Winston Churchill?

    Now I'll have nightmares for weeks that I got one of those super horrible tattoos right on my forehead.

    Note to self. No portrait tattoos. Never.

    They all look like variations of Chucky, the doll of horror movie fame. I don't know why photos don't make good tats but like you, I've never seen a good one and the ones of children are the worst.

    Couldn't these people have just gotten an anchor or a skull and put their kids name on it? That would seem a little more classy to me.

    Those babies are so scary and creepy. Who would want that on them for the rest of their lives? Yeesh!

    Huh, that second- to the- last one actually looks ALARMINGLY like the photo.

    So, accuracy is not necessarily a great thing.

    These people should've done what my brother did. Had his kids sketched on paper.

    Wait.

    Oh well, it's the thought that counts, right?

    I only know of 1 person who's tat came out exactly like the picture. Unfortunately, she divorced the guy and now he has to tote her face around on his bicep. A sketch may not be perfect but it CAN be thrown away.

    Jeez, If I had any of those, I think I'd just have to pour hot oil on it and burn the skin off. Melty scar = better than spawn of Satan on my arm.

    Well, sometimes kids ARE little demons.

    I'm just sayin.'

    Wow. That one on the right (in the picture of three) looks like some kind of mutant cross-breed between a child and a puma.

    Me-OW.

    Ick. The worst tats yet. Well done!

    One of the trends in the ghetto, when I was teaching there, was to have pictures of your murdered gang homies tattooed on you-- either their name or name and picture. What an extraordinarily bad idea.

    Portraits are usually a bad idea, although I have a friend who is a tattoo artist and he does amazing portraits - it's a rare gift. All of these kids look like Chuckie. This is the worst (and by that I mean best) bad tat Tues in a long time!

    Every single one is just plain creepy. I'm surprised the woman in the last picture actually looks happy.

    Found your blog through 2010-Year of Miracles. I have to say, I clicked on your blog simply because I love the name. Awesome.

Repost: Everyone uses the word, what's your problem

This is from 2009, but I wanted to re-post it because today is "Spread the word to end the word" day. Every time I hear somebody refer to Skyler as "retard" I die a little more inside. Our-kids is a group of over 1000 people who all are people who are in one way or another in the special needs community. Most of us are parents, but there are teachers, doctors, therapists, siblings, and some are the person with the diagnosis. It is a worldwide community, but most are from the United States. We benefit from having an international membership, because it can be quite interesting to hear about viewpoints or medical procedures that are going on in other countries. Over the years, I have had faceless names become close friends, engaged in discussions about body functions you wouldn’t mention to your doctor, and gained a valuable sounding board for advice and ideas. I have grown to care about a lot of these people, and their lives as much as some of my own friend

Goodbye old friend. Hootie: 1997-2009

I'll never forget the day I first saw him. We were driving home from Golden and Kathy said "Why don't you go this way?" We headed down a street I had never been on and found ourselves driving by a little strip mall. Then Kathy says "Turn in here a minute." Now my spidey senses are on alert, and sure enough, we wind up parking in front of a pet store. Kathy had been out in Golden a couple of days before and had found Hootie sitting in a cage looking so lonely. When we walked in, there was a sad little puppy up high in his own cage, with a sign that had 2 different prices crossed out and the third was pretty low. He had been taken and then returned to the pet store. I knew right then that we were heading home with another dog, I had been suckered! I still wasn't quite over the loss of our Golden Retriever, but I never do seem to get over the loss of a pet. Kathy knows that I need a replacement though, and seeing as we always have dogs in pairs, our
