So I was talking to the artist who did the “Beavis/Lisa/Butthead sandwhich” tattoo, and he was telling me he loves doing these sorts of tattoos, and had another piece that he spent two years trying to find someone willing to get it (as a point of trivia, I think it’s on a firefighter). Anyway, I give you this orgy of carnage and perversion, featuring among other things, Santa Claus being banged by an elf and the Grinch… Credit goes to Stephen Hummel from Ink Addiction Tattoos located in Daggett, Michigan.
BME/News and Modblog highlight only a small fraction of what
Woodland Critter Christmas comes to mind 😀
Motive aside (which I find quite juvenile), I don´t find the quality of this tattoo very high… :/
I believe my favourite detail is Frosty the Snowman holding Rudolph’s carcass.
Classic.
I agree with n0ir.. the arrangement is awful. It just has no sense of ‘flow’ if you see what I mean.
#2 Noir. it looks exactly like the old cartoons its taken from. so in that respect, its spot on and good work.
yawn. NEXT
I worry about people’s mindset..
i’m with #4. no rhyme or reason for things to be where they are. maybe some background will hold these together, eventually.
and what’s up with the base of the tree that the grinch is holding? it just abruptly cuts off…
i dunno if you could argue that it looks ‘exactly’ like the old cartoons- a wee bit more carnage i might say- but even still I agree I am not one for floating images wiht nothing bringing it together as one piece…even the old cartoons had a background.
really- I couldn’t tell what body part this was at first….and is it a work in progress or will it stay partially colored and partially blk and white?.. just curious..
daze – The tree base is truly weird, perhaps the weirdest thing in the tattoo.
I think it’s hilariously chaotic, which sort of works for the images shown.
SpeedoApe: What old cartoons? Is this some kind of american, cultural thing?
So the Beavis and Butthead artist has been outed, then? It is difficult to believe this guy is a professional tattoo artist! this one looks a bit better, on the technical side of things. But may I just say: what an utter waste of good canvas.
12 Noir yep. these are all old american Christmas cartoons. the Grinch, Rudolph, etc. they are really old stop motion animation is alot of them.
Speedo
Oh dear god….My Childhood holiday self has been killed.
Nowman is okay, the rest is shit imo.
This is just hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, my. I live 25 miles south of this shop, and I can’t believe there’s a tattoo artist in Daggett. Why am I not surprised that this is the kind of stuff coming out of a little horse crossing in Upper Michigan…
oh, how shocking.
I’m liking the drunk elves the best =)
Not really my cup of tea but…whatever makes you happy and all that!
Spit roasting Santa with a Christmas tree up the rectum. Classy.
SO evil, but I laughed my butt off anyway.
