Jan 16 2010I Wear My Sunglasses At Night All The Time: Guy Gets Sunglasses Tattooed On His Face

Matthew here went and got sunglasses tattooed on his face. That way he'll never misplace them! But I still wouldn't stare directly at the sun with them on. Oh who am I kidding -- of course I would. BUT ONLY BECAUSE I'M A MODERN GALILEO. So yeah -- put that in your pipe telescope and smoke watch a neighbor undress with it.
Hit the jump for a video of the tattooing in action and a link to Matthew's Flickr gallery documenting the whole shebang.

Thanks to Greggo, rox and Cpt. Awesome, who got sunglasses tattooed on the tops of their heads and still forget they're there!

What a knob. Should of had "I am a idiot" tattoo'ed across his face.
7. The Realisticker - January 16, 2010 2:56 PM
This is depressing.
8. S J West - January 16, 2010 3:02 PM
What a complete and utter knob. If he loved his glasses that much, then what is he gonna look like when he's wearing 2 pairs of glasses? He should have done it in grey at least as that way he could of pulled of his glasses shadow to really dumb people.... What a world class moron though

17. HungLikeAGeek - January 16, 2010 3:34 PM
Ok It would just be too easy to make fun of this poor kid, so I'm gonna move straight onto flaming the failed First Tard!
The only First your family will ever have, was that your mother was first whore in her neighborhood to get pregnant being triple teamed by Sheep, which is the only genetic way to give birth to a First Tard, its like the lamb born with the human face only backwards.
Now you know where first tards come from. Thankfully due to the rare circumstances that create them, they are rare.

he should've just sticked to the glasses ... he can still put them off ... dumbass
22. matinggames - January 16, 2010 4:17 PM
Fast forward 20 years when that will just look like skin disease. Where as now it looks like he blacked out drunk at a party and no one likes him. Maybe that's how this came about. Woke up, hungover, vomit all over his shirt. Went to wash up and saw that once again those guys from the rival Locust cover band in his town drew glasses on him again. "I'll show those F*ckers!" he said. You showed them man. You showed the world!
23. Trioxinator - January 16, 2010 4:21 PM
Now he should get his eyeballs tattooed to match.......

26. Hasabrain - January 16, 2010 5:09 PM
lol, I love how 90% of the comments he state he's 'stupid' or a 'moron' ... I don't think intelligence comes into it, surely it's completely subjective? If it's the way he wants to look and he's happy with the results then fuck it, he's probably better off than you lot doing the internet equivalent of shouting at the TV.
I guess that's the consequence of following a blog mostly viewed by teenage Americans :/
27. psylinx - January 16, 2010 5:13 PM
Okay, which is worse, tattoo'd eyeballs or this?
28. Abbott - January 16, 2010 5:13 PM
in his head he is screaming "NOTICE ME"
29. Blashyrkh - January 16, 2010 5:15 PM
nope, even us brits think this chap is a jack-bottom. we'll just see how subjective and expressive it is when he has to explain it to his prospective employers, inlaws, and pretty much everyone he's going to have to meet in his life. the novelty will wear off in about a week then he'll just feel like a self-concious fool.
30. DC - January 16, 2010 5:17 PM
what a huge faggot. really what are people who do dumb shit like this thinking?
31. Carlos - January 16, 2010 5:26 PM
Wow... Gay fag is gay. Gay fag with permanent glasses is supremely gay
32. CaptainMorgan - January 16, 2010 5:34 PM
When first contemplating this idea, he obviously never asked himself, "What would Jesus do?" If he did, he'd have sandals tatted on his feet.
His parents must be so proud.
33. kEVEERRROONNOOO - January 16, 2010 5:48 PM
Should have gone with a monocle tattoo MAN! Im telling ya monocles are coming back! Just saying.......
34. lala - January 16, 2010 5:52 PM
everyone's calling him an idiot/gay/retard, but he's pretty cool in my mind if he did this without regrets. plus, this tat is completely geek, which makes it 100% fucking alright with me.

maybe we can shoot him into space with the canon in the above post?
41. Ballz - January 16, 2010 8:19 PM
That's fake. It's nothing more than a viral video courtesy of Ray-Ban.
42. Neil Curtis - January 16, 2010 8:30 PM
can someone please work out how much RAY BAN paid him for doing that? 50.000 us$? 100.000 us$? 1 mio?
43. JPX - January 16, 2010 8:53 PM
Nothing says "I'm an asshole" more that this guy." What's he going to do when he hits his 40s and suddenly realizes that its not quite so cute anymore to be covered in ugly-ass tattoos? HIs parents must be so proud.
44. His Parents - January 16, 2010 9:08 PM
We are so proud, so very proud!
45. Dishy Dishyington - January 16, 2010 9:15 PM
OK, that wasn't really his parents; it was me. It was I? I'm not really into the whole nominative accusative thing. It's just not me.
But that's not what I wanted to talk about. I wanted to ask GW how Jessica's wrist-tattoo from the other day worked out.
46. Kittie - January 16, 2010 9:42 PM
Did that really just happen?
Wow. It did.
This guy is gonna bang chicks, get married, get old, all with BLACK GLASSES on his face. Who let him do that?
47. LostmykeystotheDeathStar - January 16, 2010 11:18 PM
@26 well like your view on the video your opinion is subjective as well, just because you sympathize with this moron doesn't mean that your more intelligent. And this is an American blog so if you dont like it suscribe to TeaDrinkersWeekly. Org.
All stupid foreigners aside, that tattoo along with the others he had look terrible. Maybe if he thinks he looks too ridiculous he could just wear a ski mask everywhere, thats my backup plan if getting a storm trooper mask tattooed doesn't look good.
48. Alyssa - January 17, 2010 12:48 AM
They're not sunglasses! They're eyeglasses!
49. Madzay - January 17, 2010 2:16 AM
lol it just looks like someone played the ultimate prank on him and instead of just drawing shit on his face with a marker, they tattooed his face
50. Neil - January 17, 2010 3:15 AM
I would have just tattooed "NOB HEAD"
51. Neil - January 17, 2010 3:16 AM
I would have just tattooed "NOB-HEAD" on his forehead to cut out needless questions.

This is far worse, at least she doesn't look like Clark Kent.
55. Crfazy - January 17, 2010 5:37 AM
Thank god this is fake, i was honestly feeling quite depressed about humanity for a moment then. Don't get me wrong, wars and starvation are all bad - but tattoing SUNGLASSES onto a FACE? That's just crazymofo.
56. Tim - January 17, 2010 5:45 AM
Hahaha I have never seen such an expensive job.... I mean he just recked any chance he had of earning any money... they guy will basicly be jobless now and picking up his social cheque will be difficulty because they will see that he has created his own joblessness....
What a complete idiot!!
57. jenny window - January 17, 2010 7:01 AM
Big FAIL for the voices in the video that we assume are his friends. Fail a friend would let you do such a dumb ass thing!!

I love wearing my eyeglasses but at some point, I like to take them off!! What a moron!!! How many drugs did he take before completing this brilliant idea? EPIC FAIL!

60. Hasabrain - January 17, 2010 10:33 AM
@47 My opinion wasn't subjective, it was objective, go back to school (or finnish it first).
@29 + 56 So what do you think this guy does for a job? Insurance salesman? Priest? Get a clue. I love when people use the job line when referring to tattoo's; there are plenty of jobs and social circles that would show respect, rather than contempt for something like this. I don't even do a crazy job, I just work in a creative studio, but I could come to work tattoo'd head to toe with expletives wearing a top-hat if I like, not everyone's restricted to uniform based jobs. But I'm guessing you're both either too young to realise, or work at McDonalds. He could be in a band, work in a tattoo studio, be an artist, do ANY job from home, or MOST jobs that aren't customer facing; run a paintball company, kayak instructor, alternative model, dolphin trainer; almost bloody anything that doesn't involve a uniform or a suit :p
Hating on someone for the way they look, whether they choose to look like it or not, is a pretty sad and pathetic character trait ... unless they're fat, that's just unhealthy.
Also, as many have stated, this is from a viral anyway, so not real ... doesn't make the completely disproportionate hate any less depressing. I think you should all go back to beating on blacks and gays; they've been getting it easy for a few years now huh. GW may poke fun on occasion, but at least he has the courtesy of being funny rather than hateful. All I can imagine is you live in a strange little Nazi Gap world where everyone looks the same; I guess I've just been exposed to a bigger variety of people in my life, maybe I should't take my tolerance for granted (although I do live in London, not Hick-Town-USA)
@47 I wouldn't say this is an American blog ... the internet, as you may or may not know, is accessible even from outside the US. The blog's written by an American, but covers global topics about gadgetry and the unusual, there's a difference.

there is a video on youtube from neverhidefilms, and if you google that you can see it is a COMMERCIAL! bbooeeehhhhh! atleast take a real tattoo!

This is a fake video. It's Raybans viral marketing. It is even hosted by Never Hide on the youtube link, and Never Hide is Rayban's viral slogan.
71. MOM - January 17, 2010 8:44 PM
60. If you "has a brain" you would know it's proven not all FAT people are unhealthy. Actually more thinner people have issues with heart and other issues that people who are some what over weight don't have. There was huge study out and it was done very recently. You should look it up. For someone who hates people for being judge mental.. maybe you should take your own words to the matter.
use ur brain next time. ...
72. Natália - January 17, 2010 10:12 PM
Ok, everyone has the right to do what they please to their own face. The question here is WHY? He got worst! An it looks like a guy with a cheap hero costume... Lame...
73. Fuq - January 18, 2010 4:43 AM
You could basically see the "oh fuck maybe I shouldve just kept these things elsewhere on my body" look as he lifts his head up to look at it. Have fun never being a respectable man dipshit.
74. James - January 18, 2010 6:20 AM
OK. I'm not sure what the point of that was. I could understand if it looked good (which it doesn't), or was of something a little bit obscure, like a dragon for example - but sunglasses - seriously? Is it because it's too difficult or time consuming to pick up a real pair and put them on, and actually look better in the process. I think sometimes that tatoos should go under the same process as things like reconstructive surgery, whereby the individual is assessed for their mental well being beforehand, in order to determine if their need to deface themselves is rooted in some kind of childhood trauma. Way to go mate, you got you 15 minutes of fame - good look earning a living now your face is so messed up.
75. The Bush Whacker - January 18, 2010 6:26 AM
Fake or real, I don't care. Getting this done is just plain stupid. Just think about what it's gonna look like when he's an old man, when the skin on his face starts to sag. I would never get a tattoo done in a place where I could not discretely hide if I needed to.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
76. jjey - January 18, 2010 6:43 AM
what ever floats his boat, if he wants that tattoo then good for him, it doesnt affect me
77. Boodle - January 18, 2010 8:35 AM
Hmm... interesting tattoo, but how good is that really going to look years from now? Not to mention whether or not he's going to really like it or not later on down the road. It's sort of like where someone tattoos a Tweety Bird on them & then 30 years later groans every time they see it in the mirror.
But hey- his face, not mine.
78. James - January 18, 2010 9:17 AM
The tattoo artist is to blame here awell. No respectable tattoo artist would have done this - no matter the money. So I hope the guy with perma-glasses is also praying that the tattoo guy was using a dirty needle so that his pathetic life ends quicker!
79. Maverick - January 18, 2010 10:41 AM
what a ruh-tard.
80. Milkman - January 18, 2010 1:08 PM
At some point, "individuality" self mods like piercing, clothing, tattoos, haircut become retarded. He just passed this point... or perhaps passed it long ago.
81. Milkman - January 18, 2010 1:10 PM
Actually we should be glad he did this, it's given females visual cues to his retarded nature. Hopefully he won't reproduce
82. Forest Gump - January 18, 2010 5:39 PM
Good luck looking good when he's 70, old and tattoo'd i'd make fun of him I guess.
83. Mel - January 18, 2010 5:56 PM
Haha, I love how many of you are calling him a moron- he's probably laughing at you guys calling you the same thing, considering he's duped most of you into thinking he's got that tattoo. It's fake- even if you guys don't know about tattoos, all you have to do is look at who posted the video to put two and two together. Jesus, some of you guys need to think.

86. rockgut - January 19, 2010 5:18 PM
Some people said that this tattoo was fake, whether it was or not really doesn't matter. I'm not a huge fan of face tattoos to begin with, and especially when it's something like this I think it's kinda silly.
87. RighteousJoana - January 20, 2010 12:53 AM
This is pretty creative, but then again stupid in a sense where i would never want this guy to meet my parents, & he's effed for life.
It's a little hard to say if it's real or fake, when you get tattooed your skin swells, and your pores bleed. Plus your skin gets all red and irritated which is what it definitely looks like is going on.
88. RoboChop - January 20, 2010 1:28 PM
Someone may have posted this already but the chick he's with is an actor from some reality show called the It Factor. That makes this more strange to me. I don't know why.

1st, WTF is a 'knob'(#s 6 and 8)
2nd, #20, what this guy did WAS pretty stupid, but if you don't know basic English grammar, don't call someone else a dumbass!
#50-51, wtf is a NOB-HEAD? and are you 3?
Just sayin some people have no room to talk....
