“Pointless self mutilation?”

What’s the point of your post, again? What’s the point of getting out of bed? Getting dressed? Going to work? Masturbating?

Dunno if it’s based off of this ( http://farm1.static.flickr.com/123/369326692_9f538a2d10.jpg ) or just a coincidence, but cool nonetheless!

That’s a pretty brilliant tattoo. Definitely not generic.

Strophe @12: I think they said “art geeks” not because of the tattoo, but because he knows more about Dali than that he had a crazy mustache and painted melted clocks. And a sci-fi nerd, because I imagine that’s one of the pre-requisites to having a Star Wars tattoo.

The art geeks

and sci-fi nerds

Because, y’know, who’s ever heard of Yoda, lightsabers, and The Force besides “sci-fi nerds”?

I don’t see this as too much of a stretch, that is, if you’re tatooine.

WANT!!!!! This is definitely a tattoo I would love to plagiarize, had I the funds and a way to fit it into my current tattoo color scheme.

Yay for Bellinghamsters’ as they call themselves.

If you ever pass through and are of the beer drinking persuasion Boundary Bay makes a wicked scotch ale and Orchard street brewery’s stock ale is awesome.

B’ham is on the puget sound, close to the canadian border, close to skiing at Mt. Baker and with the exception of the job market it is a great place to live.

For lowbrowness “The Beaver” is a great bar as is the ranch room.
