Meh Tattoo, Name Change, and Surgical Enhancement Contest
24For the birthday celebration this year, we’re bringing back one of my favorite things to happen during Meh’s history.
If you get a Meh tattoo, we’ll send you a free IRK every time we offer them as long as you send us proof that you still have it and it’s still going strong.
Also, if you want to legally change your name to Meh or Irk, we’ll send you and IRK every time we offer them.
If you want to surgically enhance your body so that you have horns like a troll or eyes like Glen, we’ll probably just kick back and laugh at your decision making.
Bonus points if you pull it off today.

@ChadP - Might I have my free IRK please? I can’t believe this was a year ago! I don’t regret getting it at all and it is a fun story to tell friends. I got at least 10 of them to join Meh!
@raptorgorawr Perfect. You are all set.
@raptorgorawr that’s cool!
Well, it’s not surgical, but…
@cinoclav as the current goat, shouldn’t you be entitled to something other than blame?
@tinamarie1974 That would be nice, especially since I have the triple whammy going. Goat month, meh anniversary month, and meh birthday month!
@cinoclav @tinamarie1974 So he gets EXTRA BLAME!
@cinoclav @therealjrn oh yeah!!!
/giphy life sucks
Well, I’ve used worse excuses for ink. I’ll be back in a couple of hours.
Hell, I never got any kind of prize for my magic marker “Purple Barney” tattoo. And it took almost 3 weeks for the damn thing to wear off.
@Barney You definitely deserve an Irk for that!
@mehcuda67 Aww…
But no purple Meh love for Barney.
You madman.
@ChadP here’s my own proof that i haven’t reneged on our deal. you’ll always be № 1 in my heart, bb.
@TheMeerkat I got you taken care of.
@ChadP @TheMeerkat is this one of many pre-made post-it notes you made for each year and took pictures of, before you had the tattoo removed?
@ChadP @curtise i actually wrote out five years worth ahead of time, one for every day. i also wrote “happy birthday!” under all of them, so man i got lucky there.
@curtise @TheMeerkat I hope that’s true.
It might not be instant regret, but I think I’m legitimately down for a Meh tattoo. Hell — even the Mediocre Labs logo. Can I get confirmation that the name won’t change from IRK back to Fuko or something to immediately disqualify me?
@Fourhundred57 I would totally get the mediocre labs logo if that was allowed instead…but what do I know…I dont even get a calendar…
@Fourhundred57 Confirmed!
It’s a deal! Hey… since I already purchased an IRK successfully today, could I talk you into an extra for my 11-year-old daughter? I asked my wife, and she said my daughter was NOT allowed to get a tattoo herself… smh.
@Jasongb did not realize how ugly his foot really was… sorry community! Also, two of the tattoo artists were looking at doing this to each other once I explained it all!!
@ChadP… any chance you could confirm that I’m qualified? Beginning to worry that I haven’t done this right.
@Jasongb Very nice!
I have no tattoos and have never had any desire to get one. But, I’m oddly intrigued by the idea of getting a meh themed tattoo
@capguncowboy I was just discussing this with another person. Fortunately, I’m too old or I’d be out the door and doing this.
@Barney I’m supposed to fly to California on Wednesday for a week, so I’ve got a ton of things to get done or I would really consider doing it today.
@Barney @capguncowboy Well, now I’m worried. I’m 49 and I rushed out to get the logo on my foot… Inappropriate?
@Jasongb You’re fine. You are still a sweet young thing.
Here’s my incredibly serious, wildly artistic PERMANENT Meh Tattoo.
Please send me my various IRKs now.
I got one. I’m mailing you photographic proof. Definitely not edited. Go ahead and send my prize!
@capguncowboy Post pix, or it didn’t happen.
I’ll get my IRKs the old fashioned way, thank you very much. Far less mutilation. Some mutilation sure, but far less.
I texted @Tristan asking if I should leave work to get a tattoo because I will never snag an instant regret kit… the reply was “Absofuckinglitely!”… what a horrible influence she is!
@Kthnxbyenow welp, i guess you know what to do next!
I meant @trillian … jeez im a moron, I cant believe they pay me to sit in this cubicle.
I will get a Meh tattoo, but it’s not gonna happen today. Stuck in bed with a chronic pain flare up. Can’t even focus on any of the games. Oh well. Happy birthday to you, dear Meh. I hope to win shitloads of crappy prizes next year. Here’s the Meh cake I baked last year- the thought still counts, yeah?
@Pony
Re baking: Bravo!
@f00l @Pony I was hoping for another baking/cooking game this year, it was really fun to see what everyone did. And to make one myself.
@f00l @mossygreen Yeah, I think I could have rallied and actually gotten out of bed for another cake contest. Maybe next year.
@f00l @Pony If we remember, we can start agitating weeks in advance! [We won’t remember.]
@f00l @mossygreen Yes! Sounds like a plan.
Does it matter at all where I get it? Does it qualify if I get it on my foot?
@davidwr99 I second this question. Also, does it have to be the Meh word logo, or does something else Meh-related also count (like the Mediocre Labs icon or something, as someone mentioned below)?
@davidwr99 @spidersam639 I too share this question…
@davidwr99 I too have this question.
@davidwr99 Forgiveness not permission.
/giphy pro tip
@mikibell sure looks like a vinyl decal, but I’m no expert.
/image guilty
@mikibell yup, they will make you send in clear photographic proof and proof from the shop you got it done at.
@mikibell sucky photo, tried to get pic of screen at same time… Not easy!
@capguncowboy shhhhhhh I may or may not have made a few of them for future reference
@raptorgorawr hehehehe this chick would probably die from an allergic reaction to the ink or something crazy!!! You have more guts than I will ever have. (and you deserve every Irk you get??)
@mikibell I’m just glad I did it last year. I am pregnant so I can’t get one this year. I think by next year’s birthday I will need to get it touched up.
@mikibell This is so fake. Meh should send him a flaming bag of poop every year now.
@raptorgorawr Congratulations!!! I love babies… ask anyone! Is this your first?? Good luck and God bless!!!
@MeatyYoker HEYYYYYYYYYYY watch your pronouns!!! I am no HIM! (and my wrist is MUCH prettier/delicate than that terrible photo shows-- the meh is just over an inch long.)
@MeatyYoker @mikibell did you just assume its gender?
@JnKL @MeatyYoker I have to say, without meaning to be insensitive, I am terrible at the proper pronoun usage. I would gladly use the correct pronoun if there was a way to know the correct pronoun intuitively
@mikibell thank you! We are expecting twins and I have a 13yo! I feel like a first time mom it’s been so long!
@raptorgorawr omg twins and a teen…wow! That is amazing! (And challenging!) I love that my kids are teenagers, but I miss the snuggles.
Luckily, I have 7 month old great great nephew who lovvvves to fall asleep on me!
Meh tramp stamp? Meh butt cheek… meh in more risky places…??

@ChadP also totally just used my fountain pen with my good ink to do that. It kind of bled. Lol
I’m seriously considering this but I can’t get it done today. When’s the deadline? And would it cover future bags even if the name changes to something else?
I got a price quote from my tattoo guy so I’m partway there.
@peaceetc It was confirmed above by @Cythwulf that name changes will not affect your prizes.
@Cythwulf @mfladd Thanks, I missed seeing that. I’m really good at missing things right in front of my face.
I’ll take my chances with captcha’s
/image no way no way no way
Not a Meh tattoo, but it’s literally useless… Does that count? Maybe every other IRK?
Totally for real.
@salaosantiago It was bold also getting the Ultimate Photo Mixer tattoo
Temp tats ok?
@f00l No. Not even a little bit ok.
@f00l of course if you are really, really good at photoshop…
i have part of a meh tattoo, the “dot” at the end…! (actually, it’s where i was stabbed by a fine point pen)
So… any follow up on a deadline? My tattoo guy can’t do it until next week. I tried another tattoo place but she’s booked up until the 31st. I live in a very small town so I’m lucky to have even those two options.
@peaceetc
would make one think there is a window but it isn’t specified…
Does the tatoo have to be permanent? What about one made with Henna
@stryper2000 I believe the intent is for lifelong regret rather than a mere week or so of shame and humiliation.
@stryper2000 “As long as it is still going strong” So presumably if you get the henna today you can get an irk today
Well, Party City was still open and they still had a lot of stuff - whole store 90% off.
(Meh buyers - if you want a line on dirt cheap party, costume and Halloween supplies, I can hook you up.)
Unfortunately, they did not, however have the two most important items on my shopping list, the first two on this list I’ll now post, since it’s the best part of the story now that I couldn’t pull off the costume:
Found everything else on the list; yellow & black face paint and a couple of options for the stripes - either a Cat-In-The-Hat hat or red and white striped tights… (wasn’t really looking forward to purchasing those)
No googly eyes, no gross teeth; no Glenn.
Ah, well, the road to Meh is paved with good intentions, as they say.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What’s the time limit to get this done. I’m totally down for a meh tattoo, or maybe the mediocre labs logo. But I have no money to do so right now…or time. Hmmmm
Any size requirements? Or time frame? I get paid on the 15 and am down for this
I’ve had an idea, and now I’m praying that my local Party City (like <1 mile from home), which a week or so ago had homeless folks standing on street corners holding signs for their going out of business sale, is still open and has what I need…
(I really just posted that run-on sentence as a place-holder so I can find this thread again if I can pull off what I have in mind.)
If things go well, I’ll have something to post around 5:30 eastern.
If not…
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah I’m interested but have no tattoo place anywhere nearby. Does it have to be the meh logo, or can it just say meh (I’m thinking without the . And not a bold font). My daughter (not a member, it has benefited from my purchases) says she would get one too, just for the “free stuff”.

@sammydog01 ohh thanks but I’d rather pay for a professional job. Maybe a little less risky, and probably far better looking.
If the Mediocre Labs flask logo counts I’m in.
Halfway tempted with just the “meh.” logo.
@chadp what kind of latitude do we have on this?
@hanzov69 Meh tattoos get Meh prizes.
