May 16 2008I Know What I'm Getting!: This Wicked Tattoo

Let's face it folks, the Bowser riding a surfboard tattoo is pale in comparison to this wicked work of needle and ink. As you can see, it's a, uh, dolphin with its own tattoo smoking a bong and sitting on a tattered recliner. Oh, and it looks like he's staring at an owl and thinking "AKH" (which may or may not be some prison ink). Seriously, not even Spiderman guy can F with this. This thing is just pure ridiculous. Admittedly, I was high for the majority of my college career but never, ever, ever have I smoked with a dolphin before. Or a porpoise. Okay, that's not entirely true. I did smoke with a porpoise* -- to avoid going to class and to make Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 even funner.
*High-five for the pun!

Umm.. not a big fan of tats but this one looks espeically retarted.
I'd say the dolphin and the owner of that tat were smoking the same thing when he decided on what tat to get..

so instead of getting one of those hackneyed "tribal" arm tattoos he gets a tattoo of a dolphin smoking weed with one of those hackneyed "tribal" arm tattoos...

It's retarded but I did laugh at the smoke coming out of the blowhole. HAHA

P.S. And it's more retarded that the dolphin is holding a lighter, duhhhh how can a dolphin light a lighter? No thumbs. lol

I've never seen a dolphin with a tattoo. That in itself screams:
FAKE!!!!

You forgot to say that is a sad and old dolphin

Ah....
this does seem a little fake.
if it is though, I can only say one thing: LOSER.
ha. and in 5-10 years if this guy ever matures, he will see this as one of the stupidest mistakes of his life. I mean come on. get a manly tattoo. skulls, crosses, barb wire. not of a f***in' dolphin with a bong.
hate to see this try to get a job one day. one look and they will say, thanks for trying. even if he doesn't smoke it anymore, he still has the stigma.
I hope this guy flaunts the hell out of this tattoo when he is workin' the fryer at McDonald's or Burger King.
Jackass.

amazing tattoo. 99% of all tattoos are tacky disasters. This is a well stated comment on all of those. The man with this tattoo is now a legend.

ARGH! He totally stole my idea!
If only I wasnt such a lazy pot head and and crawled out of my moms basement, I could have beat him to the punch :-(

The guy's gotta be one of those furries from the internet.
You know, that new internet sub-culture. They have fursuits and gatherings and they dig holes and pick berries.
Just google the word furry you'll find more then you ever wanted to know.

I went to school (Savannah College of Art and Design) with the guy who came up with this theme...what the tattoo doesn't show is the dolphin is watching a TV featuring a loop of documentaries about pollution in our oceans and our polluted beaches..it was really good stuff...

that is the most retarded thing ive ever seen have fun explaining that...to...just any1...u love dolphins and weed and being lazy?

Every time I do a search on 'tattoo' this comes up, and I always have to come and defend this guy. I KNOW this guy, I worked with him at a record shop and he's just about the nicest, most chilled out, awesome guy. Yes, his tattoo is legendary. I've seen it in person and frakking rocks. It totally goes with his personality.

this tattoo is not retarded. Its actually pretty damn clever, you just dont get it.
Awesome seeing someone else who dont just follow the stream and get motives used over and over and over again in tatts. AWESOME tattoo

This guy truely is legendary. Anyone saying he is retarded is extremely judgemental and narrow minded. Its obviously a well thought out tattoo- heaps of little details; yeah it may not be your kinda thing but its a lot, lot better then any tramp stamp or patriotic stencil i've seen.
