Geekologie I Watch Stuff The Superficial

Best Coverup EVER: Guy Gets Edward Cullen 'Twilight' Tattoo On Bet, Gets Covered With Badass 'Hook' Rufio

April 12, 2012 / amazing, awesome, coverup, dammit now i'm gonna have to put hook on and watch it out of the corner of my eye for the rest of the afternoon, from twinkly vampire to total badass, geekologie reader, good save, hook, peter pan, smart thinking, tattoo, twilight, yes yes and more yes

HAHA -- not so immortal after all, are you, Edward?! Per Geekologie Reader Kylie:

OK, so this guy I used to know recently made a deal with his friend that they would choose each other's tattoos and they would each get theirs while being blindfolded. He took his blindfold off to see this -- Edward, from Twilight! Yikes! So later he had it covered up with RUFIOOOO!

OH HELL YES. I asked my little lady to turn the pictures into an animated gif, but the angles make it look like there's a colored part in Edward that doesn't appear in Rufio. Like I said, that's just the angle. Great, now I kind of want a Rufio tattoo. "BANGARAAAAAANG!" *crowing* Okay now I f***ing have to have one.

Thanks to Kylie, who obviously knows a good coverup when she sees one (help me bury a body? Also -- what did the other guy get?). And to cocoa for making me the gif so I could spend the last ten minutes watching videos of Hook on Youtube. You know, for research.

    Possibly The Awesomest Shirt Ever Created
    November 24, 2009
    'OG Vampires' is arguably the awesomest shirt ever created. And it comes to us from the very skilled hand of Geekologie artist-in-residence Jesse Starr. Jesse just started his own t-shirt company (Zombie Tee Shirt Company) and this is one of his original designs. $20 makes y... / Continue →

    they're both stupid either way

  • BrianRommel

    FAKE!!!! This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell it's a fake because the shadows are all wrong. This is exactly like that scene in "Never Back Down" where Max get's a Barney the Dinosaur Tattoo then gets it changed to a t rex.

  • Mangina

    I miss daisy :-(

  • Sorry for the buzz kill, but this is NOT a cover up.  These tattoos are side by side on my left calf/shin.  They were done by Josh Kellogg @ Bite The Bullet Tat Co in Decatur, IL.  Check them out on Facebook.

  • Woop i was right. Looks good mate. never cover up the edward tattoo. i hate the films never read the books. But i have a 'cock-bird' on my arm. its all about the laughs. =D

  • Side by side. Bottom right of Rufio is bottom left of Edward. Knew this dude in college, he just posted a pic on his facebook of both of them side by side since this story is getting attention.

  • Shaun9lives

    Fake.

  • Amputation would have been a more honorable solution.

  • osteenq

    I'd rather get shot than have either of those idiots on my arm.

  • I'm thinking one guy got cullen and the other rufio. Both Suck...

  • azz0r

    Thats not the same tattoo. Or arm.

  • Ramuran

    There's a missing freckle on the limb with the Rufio tat... 
    I agree with the people calling bs on this one... there's too many dark portions in the Edward tat that simply couldn't have been covered up by the Rufio one as-is... Either they just have a similar pose on similarly photographed body parts, or the guy had large portions of the Edward tat laser-removed before covering it up.

  • artilleryboy

    I wouldn't want any. He shouldn't have gotten a tattoo like that in the first place even if he lost a bet

  • stillsleepy

    Humbug.

    The Edward tat is on a fat chick's not-too-recently shaven calf, and Rufio is on some weird hirsute dude.  The leg shapes themselves don't even match up, like they were taken at different angles yet the eyes still line up.  Indelibly bogus.

  • can you tattoo the red of rufio's hair over that guy's black hair? I call bullshit

  • How do you tell if a tattoo artist is good? They can turn Edward into freaking ROOOOFFIIIIOOOOOO.

  • @inconspicuous:disqus I see your point, i know for a fact the black that is edwards t-shirt can't be got rid of without laser to that extent. The eyes are similar. but if you study certain bits they can't be change. you can't lighten a black part of a tattoo to be flesh colour. 
    The shading on the left of the bridge of Edwards nose is black. 
    most of that is gone in the Rufio tattoo???

    I know that from working in a studio for a while. (shame would of been good)

    To troll, or not to troll...

    Aw hell, why not. 

    "Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

    Someone needs to make a shirt that simply says, "The eyes are similar. but if you study certain bits they can't be change."

  • Gary_Arizona

     it looks like the shading was covered in white

  • I wouldn't want either.
