WTF Tattoo or How I ended up scoring the best Christmas Ornament ever!
15They say when you get a tattoo to make sure you have no clear idea of what you want and randomly pick a shop without doing any research because tattoos are only temporary right?
Or was it make sure you really know what you are going to get done and research and pick an artist best for you?
I OBVIOUSLY got those confused. Cause this tattoo happened (see below) my lovely little reminder of, actually, I could not tell you. I only know that now, it is a constant source of speculation, funny stories, arguments and lastly, it makes the perfect Christmas ornament. (More on that later…)
Your mission today, should you choose to accept it, is to guess WTF my tattoo is. To play correctly and have the most fun with this gag, I need your guess as to what my tattoo ACTUALLY is, and what people ended up THINKING it is.
While you are at it, if you have any stories of tat ragret, or even better pics of said ragret, post away.
But seriously WTF is this?

That is clearly a goldfish cosplaying as a beta fish.
A constant reminder to make better life decisions
kinda looks like a mushroom from super mario bros that is in the process of being wiped off the face of the earth by Thanos…
or a hippie lorax holding some plant…depends on which way you look at it
@amehzinggrace That’s hilarious. I was looking up the images from mario before making my snarky remark above. I was thinking of the top of the onion plus mushroom.
Well, if you rotate the image 90° clockwise…
A rorschach test!
Turned to the side, it’s a hairy creature with tentacles doing a facepalm.
@narfcake Damn I was going to say a octopus with a head of hair.
@Targaryen Yeah I had thought of that too… Bet is actually of nothing and is just something artsy.
A permanent reminder not to get a tattoo while drunk.
@Barney
Every time I think of the two, I think of this.
It kind of looks like a flying superhero with a very flowy cape.
…or a campfire.
Ahh, I get it now, the tattoo guy was drunk when he did your Irk tattoo.
@Barney Haha, had a similar thought - A prehistoric giant flying Irk carrying off a brontosaurus to its inevitable gruesome doom.
rear 3/4 view of a whispy tailed dragon laying an egg
rotated 90 degrees clockwise. batman about to be eaten by a giant pigeon with fabulous hair.
My first thought was a troll holding something. For Christmas it is definitely one of the whos from Whoville.
It is a child leaning over to pick up a baby dragon and people think it is a claw coming up from the ground to attack a troll.
It’s a dragon with something (Japanese characters?) on its back. People think it’s Donald Duck with crazy hair.
It’s actually similar to the dragon facing right.
I just don’t know what’s going on with it’s back/tail.
It looks like a head of hair.
Maybe people think you got a cloud formation?
Something Prince related
Is it a cartoon skull burning in a small campfire?
It’s a surfer dude catching a wave but people think it’s a troll carrying a teddy bear.
I’m guessing it’s a phoenix. Sort of like this:
@dave Close. Stylized gamecock.
@dave I wish it was as nice as that… or even started out as nice as that
Is it a squirrel sitting on a branch with is tail facing you?
A fancy snail?
Woody Woodpecker?
Obviously one of those cool Tasmanian Devil tattoos.
People think it’s a tribute to the SoCal wild fires.
It’s the result of telling the tattoo artist to draw something that makes no fucking sense just to screw with people that look at it.
How about Giger’s alien playing fetch with a sharp jagged stick?
Okay, okay, I see you were being sneaky. The image is portrait when it should be landscape.
Here’s what I see when I look at it sideways. I colored it in.
I gave the person yellow hair, a blue body, and tan face. Please don’t judge my horrible photoshop skills. That program is so powerful that I can only figure out 1% of it.
Anyway, it looks like a sad person with an octopus body walking around while reading a newspaper.
@cengland0 Maybe I should have colored the face blue too. And the front of the blue area white (I didn’t know what that was before). Then you’d have smurfette.
Looks like an eagle feeding a baby in a nest…
Obviously most people think that it looks like an old record player with a horn type speaker thing!
BTW… what about the ornament?
It’s Molar Ram, but people think it’s a cuttlefish.
Or maybe a spider carrying a potted dwarf Truffula tree.
trick question: it’s a birthmark
@Moose
/giphy what a twist!
I think you should all know that seeing it in person does not give you an edge in figuring out what it is.
Not in the least
it kinda looks just like you. Mixed with Zach Galifianakis
“Tonight, Tonight” -Hot Chelle Rae
@mollama how do you not have an icon?
@mollama @tinamarie1974 They were never a vmp?
:rimshot
It’s Thing 1 (Dr. Seuss) swallowing an octopus, but everybody thinks it’s a flaming spider.
It looks like a person sitting on the ground, legs outward, with their back against a tree. Maybe on of the trees from the Lorax? The tree could also be an eagle bent over to pick up the person.
What a unfortunate thing to have on your leg, but I’m glad it at least creates some interesting conversations
@capguncowboy it is horrible for sure - but yes it has provide many the conversation starters and also as I will reveal tomorrow my most cherished Christmas Ornament ever
People think that it’s a campfire, but it’s really a Troll doll
People think it’s the offspring of cthulhu and smurfette but it’s really to kayakers being consumed by a wave.
looks like a mollusk of some sort to me
and i would think people think it is something cute hiding
It’s a conch snail.
Some gremlin looking character with a dog
Ever since the picture was posted of the dragon, that’s all I can see… Except the wings look upside down.
My first thought was a weird campfire. Then I thought of Thing 1 and 2.
Ever think of getting a cover up?
@RiotDemon there will be a cover up done soon- it will be a tattoo of what everyone always thinks it is - which I will be revealing shortly
head of person with a ton of hair, beard with mustache?
I’m going to go outside the box here. I think it’s a rooster or chicken, if it’s seen from your perspective (upside down in the photo). I bet people think it’s a troll… or dragon… or dragon-troll thing? So mysterious!!
Obviously, it’s Cthulhu when he still had his mullet.
Two snails mehting.
Flying squirrel with a very serious tailwind.
I’m also getting a Dr. Seuss vibe, but not sure why…
a really mangled golden snitch?
A really jacked up lion. Or a campfire with a partial puma coming out of it… maybe it’s a griffin?
That tattoo is actually not of anything in particular. It’s whole design was just to make people guess what it is when it isn’t SUPPOSED to be anything in particular.
People think it is a lion, cosplaying fish, Donald Duck with weird hair, squirrels, snails melting, various types of fowl, Smurfette, etc.
I applaud you for getting a tattoo done just for the sake of a poll. That shows true dedication.
@jst1ofknd Ah. Normally, a tattoo has some special significance to the owner, but this one was designed to be special to anyone who views it as it can be whatever they want it to be.
Reminds me of an eagle who landed in her nest & is feeding her brood…
@tohar1 Way to copy my answer!
@raccoon81 Sorry! I just perused some of the answers, and didn’t see yours…My answer to the tat just jumped out at me. I’m glad that I’m in good company!!
Santa’s sleigh?
A squid eating an acorn with a large head of hair on a windy day.
Ok Ok enough suspense… I know that it is eating away at everyone!!! Time for the big reveal…
My tattoo is ACTUALLY a dragon, albeit a horribly done dragon. Shout out to @enville @speediedelivery and @Medz for the dragon guesses!!
Ever since I went into a tattoo parlor
in Southern Illinois to cover it up and the guy said “why would you want to cover up your Squirrel on a Stick?” it has been known as such. I have never seen a dragon in it since then hee hee. Big props to @cengland0 and @mehcuda67 for the right guess!
It was such a popular family joke that it manifested itself into the best Christmas Ornament ever from my nephew.
Plans are in the works to get an actual squirrel on a stick cover up … stay tuned
@cardiganb You should leave it it’s a great conversation starter and i have to say it is quite unique but I wouldn’t have guessed the dragon
@cardiganb “Squirrel on a Stick” sounds like a tasty treat at the State Fair of Texas.
@cardiganb I only get points for the dragon wings because everything else I was wrong on.
@cardiganb @medz that’s the dragon I saw too.
nope.
@cardiganb I only saw the head and claw correctly. I imagined the baby dragon in the sideways angle.
I think if you tip it to the side it looks like Thing playing a xylophone or reading a book
Maybe a skull with a mullet hairstyle and a snake tongue?
I thought maybe the Oregon Duck took his hat off to reveal flowing hair underneath.
That, my peeps, is a stylized, drunken artist’s interpretation of the vintage Mr. Horsepower logo from the 1940s Clay Smith Engineering hot rod performance parts company.
