Finger Food

At first glance I thought this tattoo said “EAT THE RICE”, which reminded me of a time I was walking past a Chinese restaurant in Toronto, and the sign outside simply said “EAT MORE RICE, NOW!!” I didn’t listen, of course..

Anyway, I’m not exactly sure what it’s referring to, but I prefer to think it’s because rich people are grain fed from birth and tend to be plumper.

  3. I figured it was a reference to the Motorhead song… which may also be based on the above mentioned slogan… either way, neat.

  15. I’d also say it refers to the standard punk slogan repertoire, I like it though, it’s really neat, but the first second I also thought it says “eat the rice”, but then I read it again, and got a big fat smile on my face, because it reminds my of a sampler I got with German Punk Bands, which is called eat the rich and I always listened to it when I was about 13-14yrs old hehehehe good old times hahaha

  21. Yeah, it’s an aerosmith song. Maybe the new guitar hero has something to do with it…Could’ve swore it said “EAT THE RICE”

  23. No one I know really eats the rice when we get it at a restaurant [and you always get literal buckets of it,] so I, too, thought it was a tattoo on some angry chinese/thai/japanese cook. haha.

  27. After looking for 2 minutes, I’ve finally realized that it DOES NOT say “rice”.

    Maybe it’s because i’m asian, therefore, it’s like the golden rule.
