Art imitating life? Or … .?
Hope you were not expecting any deep thinking on his part……he can’t even keep his pants on around young children………………..hopefully he is not in the same room as the child without supervision.
His pants are on just fine, ugly blue but on, his short trousers have slipped down so that his pants can be seen but I suspect that is a fashion statement.
I thought that it was fun that the tattoo artist was holding the customers original sketch beside the finished work.
He just has ‘forgotten’ how to pull his pants up. Must be the drugs………almost a sure bet.
Jeez, guys, that’s a lot of stereotypes and assumptions for one pic.
The guy has tattoos and loves his kid. Anything else is your prejudice showing.
Oh, it is life imitating art! Yes it is permanent.
Permanent no, 80 to 90 years from now there will be barely a trace of it.
He sure must.
Nick, I gotta agree with you. I don’t even think this pic qualifies as a wtf at all. Maybe I just spent more time with “bohemian” types, counter-culture, some bikers, some hippies, Burning Man types (of which I’m proudly one). The guy isn’t exposed, for chrissakes…..and he’s showing how proud he is of his kid. (Much better’n getting your current squeeze’s name tatted on.) I bet this kid’ll be a lot happier than if she was being raised by some tight-ass fundie.
I can’t leave this one alone….sorry….to add to my previous post…The girl looks happy and confident and well-fed, for you non-educator types, that picture she drew is very indicative of a happy, well-adjusted, non-abused kid. Just sayin’…..
I have to agree with owl, here. Being a Burner myself, and having many friends who are both tattoo artists and tattoo enthusiasts, I see this picture and think that it’s a very sweet gesture from a father to his daughter.
Agree. There’s also room for a drawing by the next kid. May be kids numbers three anf four get to use Daddy’s back? May be he should stop at four (at latest)?
I would have been sticking the picture on the fridge, not my belly. I would wait until she has real talent before using my daughter’s drawing as the inspiration for a tattoo.
Just maybe the little girl copied the tattoos that this guy already had….Hey Ma look at the stupid tattoos this guy got.
I don’t think there’s much wrong with a dad who loves and is proud of his kid and is willing to sacrifice greatly to show it.
Nick, you said, “Seriously? Dude, that shit is permanent.”
One can only hope that the love he obviously feels for his li’l girl now lasts as long.
Yeah, his pants are baggy. She’s obviously not hurt by it.
Yeah, he’s got tats other places. Her’s is the main focus.
Yeah, he’s probably not a deep thinker. She might just have a daddy who watches toons with her because he WANTS to.
Yeah, he could have waited until she was older, so that she could do a “better” picture. But by then she might not draw anymore.
The WTF on this one applies more to the peanut gallery and their posts, than to the picture.
My $0.02. Don’t fucking spend it all trying to buy your stairway.
-J
She will grow up. He won’t..
Well at least he is taking an interest in his daughter. then again, it could be worse: have you seen the tattoos of either Steve-O from Jackass or Mark “Chopper” Read?
As a father myself, I think this is awesome.
And for everyone that said pants, those are shorts he’s wearing.
Shorts are short pants, they are still pants. Hot pants are shorts, too.
But, he’s kind of a cool dad for doing that. I wouldn’t do it, myself, whatever floats his boat.
Granted being proud of your child by having their name inked on your body seems to be the current trend. I don’t really have a problem with this but only insecure wimps feel the need to advertise their toughness with skull decorated accessories.
I do give him credit for a high pain tolerance or some super pain killers when the ink was done.
There are obviously several people here who don’t follow current tattoo trends among the younger parental set. This is actually becoming a common practice – there have been several soldiers who happen to have small children who have drawn them in uniform (the usual childish drawing styles) who have had them inked on their bodies later.
It has nothing to do with intelligence – it has everything to do with remembering them as the young and innocent children they are. You don’t see the reactions when mothers have their babies footprints turned into an armband…why would you bag on a loving and committed Dad? I wish there were more men in this world this involved in their child’s life and development. Maybe then more kids wouldn’t grow up with abandonment complexes and would grow up whole.
Just because it’s a different choice then you would have made doesn’t mean it doesn’t have merit on it’s own grounds.
I agree totally…
The look on the little girls face say’s”I got my daddy wrapped around my little finger!”
Proud papa. I salute him.
For someone missing a right leg, he’s got pretty good balance. That’s got to offset the tattoo somewhat.
I think you guys got this all wrong. Its not an issue of the tattoos being permanent or the father-daughter bond. The real issue here is the poor quality of that kid’s art. The sun she drew next to the one drawn by a real artist couldn’t even pass for an impressionists interpretation. The hearts she drew…? Bleck! Is that some type of cubistic thing? And what is that terribly represented creature standing under? A leaf dripping something? Is that some kind of an artist’s existential statement. Maybe this art would fly amongst you “burning man” types but I’d say this girls piece is far from gallery material. The dad obviously isn’t doing his part to discourage her from this pipe dream.
Also, the second you claim “burning man” in your post you completely invalidate any semblance usefulness in your post.
I read this, and was pissed, and decided to chill for awhile so I didn’t say anything that would get me banned from Scipio. Now that I’ve thought about it for awhile, I don’t give a fuck if I get banned.
You are a fucking cunt. A piece of human excrement. I hope you don’t have any kids. You should be neutered with a rusty shovel. You come on here and judge a five year old like her drawing is supposed to compete in some gallery where cunts like you stand around sniffing their own flatulence out of brandy glasses and passing judgment.
And Burning Man is a hell of a lot of fun – a free-spirited festival to connect with people and see the good in the world. There have been several pics on this blog that can attest to that. The day I need your approval for ANYTHING is the end of the world. My post was meaningful and showed some tolerance and consideration. Yours is mean-spirited, demeaning, and downright hateful. And you call mine useless. Go fuck yourself.
Its great that you think I was serious. I don’t know the first thing about art. But I do know hippies and hipsters. Man are they ever useless! Hahahaha.
I also don’t know much about Brandy Sniffing. How do you get the flatulence into to glass? Or is it premixed with the brandy?
It was an episode of South Park about hoity toity Prius owners and their self-congratulatory smugness farting into wine snifters and savoring their own flatulence.
hahaha
you totally missed the point
which is possibly part of the point – watiching that happen.
oh, the humanity
that gives us so many wtf moments
Geez; I thought it was kind of cool myself. I have no desire to get a tatoo, but I may consider getting a tat of one of my daughter’s drawings.
The guy shows that he is part of a lower-income, lower-educated subculture by his tats and low-slung shorts. It’s not right or wrong; it just is. Most of my friends from childhood look like that.
Am I the only one who noticed that the tattoo doesn’t exactly match the drawing?
Maybe it’s a work in progress?
As someone else has pointed out, the sun on the left is not her work. I suspect that the heart on the left is also not her work, and the flower at the bottom looks like a scribbled-out false start. Everything else matches.
The cool thing about this post is the number of thoughtful — or wild — comments it engendered. (That’s “made,” not anything to do with gender.)
Nick, brilliant Friday WTF. One of the best ever. If for no other reason than a bunch of folks did something more than whine about the quality of Nick’s gifts. (shameless pump.)
As a non-tattooed person, I don’t have a comment. But as a dad, I know that, whatever the dad’s putative thought processes, that’s one daughter who will never, ever, forget that dad. (Assuming he’s the dad; don’t mess with my head!)
