I guess this means tattooing has officially jumped the shark.

Wow!

I don't even know where to begin. I think my brain just exploded.

I'm stunned as well. The hair on the one getting the tat.. He should have a trailer at home with at least one car up on blocks..

Well that certainly looks a lot less painful and probably a hell of a lot cheaper than the back tat I'm planning.

Not sure what's crazier -- that this products exists, or that the marketers are selling it under a brand name that looks like an a chav-ish txt message.

Ah well, gotta love the tatt outlines they provide: a stylized flag, naval anchor and star, fb helmet, cougar...and $ sign? :-p

Chav-ish?

For some reason the product name struck me as almost British in its textual bluntness and mangling.

Not to mention a death's head/skull-and-crossbones! So why'd that little wuss choose a dolphin?!?!!

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Is he getting a dolphin, or a killer whale/shark?

I'm a bit miffed they left out a USMC bulldawg design, unless those are on the sheet under the first.

Notice that the older kid is wearing his trucker cap backwards – and we all know what that means!

He likes to suck the penis!

(Reply) (Thread)

You mean he's not gonna go "Over The Top" and arm-wrestle him?

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

If you have to turn the cap around it isn't worth the bother..........

That's my son! Sniff! I'm so proud of him. (holding back the tears...)

Next year, he gets his first jailhouse tattoo gun, made from a tape recorder motor, Bic pen and sewing needle. And I'm getting him three different colors of India ink to help him express his creativity... unless he wants to create his own ink by burning plastic and using the tar for pigment.

Kids, they grow up so fast. SIgh. :(

Love the two little lesbians in the second picture. They're girls, right?

LOL... That's what I thought too! Peppermint Patty & Marcy even!

the hair is just wrong..

It's not the most ridiculous toy I've seen, but it's close. The Fisher-Price McDonalds outlet takes the cake for that. Have the little ones pretend to don uniforms and flip burgers, perhaps preparing them for real life.

Notice that the kid with his had backwards also has a flame tattoo ...

could we be reading too much into this? ;-)

I don't know ... I have a teenager who's been pushing me to take her to get a tatoo. (I'd promised if she waits until she's 18, I'll take her to someone who can do it right.) This might be the PERFECT gift to really jerk her chain!!! *smiles*

(Reply) (Thread)

I'm all in favor of it.

Nice thing is with a little modification you can use the star stencil to give yourself a nice pentagram in the center of your forehead like the guy I used to see around my Upper West Side neighborhood growing up.

It just dawned on me... I want a Spirograph tattoo kit now.

And by reference, now I'm thinking we need little surface-mount LEDs with a diffusing lens attached to a minimalist button cell holder that has an adhesive backing so people can do Lite-Brite on their skin! :) I know I've seen units like this for the navel, but they need to be smaller to do a pattern on your upper arm, say. ;)

when are they coming out with the Gr8 Gear SubNcisN Clamp N Blade set?

(Reply) (Thread)

I know! I mean, now that you can get Prince Albert wands in rainbow anodized colors, every kid is going to get once (provided he can keep it away from his sister, who keeps using it as a magic wand with her fairy princess doll).

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

speaking of, have you seen the prince's wands from steelwerks that come with plastic tubing where one end connects to the wand and t'other fits in the mouth?

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

right after the Gomco Clamp Circumcision fun kit.

Is there a celtic armband? It's not the same without a celtic armband.

Whawt's that, 'ol chap? Kiddie Tatts, you say?

Abomination!

Leviticus 19:28 - "Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the Lord."

Dear diary,

Yesterday afternoon, Johnny let me blindfold him and pick out a TaT2.

Instead, I wrote,
"Kevin {heart} Johnny"
" Forever "

When he took off the blindfold, he socked me so hard and ran into the bathroom to wash it off as fast as he could. I cried.

This morning he told me to come by this afternoon. I can hardly write this.

Bye,
Kev"

Hmmm. Might be worth putting on the neffs' christmas list. There's talk that my brother's family will be moving to Texas soon. Perhaps in lieu of a .22 and a camo vest, this'll do?
