I really like that this tattoo came down the pipe just as poet laureate Dan Savage decided on a definition for America’s favorite new dirty sexy sex word, Saddlebacking, in honor of the awful walrus-looking gay-hating purpose-driven pastor of the Saddleback Church, Rick Warren. That is all.
(Tattoo by Peter at Rainbow Tattoo in Nora, Sweden.)

BME/News and Modblog highlight only a small fraction of what
brilliant tattoo and commentary. 🙂
Way to be as close minded as insensitive as you perceive Rick Warren to be. Atta boy, Jordan Ginsberg! (Let us not forget that BME is a place for all, including those who might actually be dumb enough in your eyes to agree with this pastor.)
im pretty sure this has been posted before. ill try and find the link but im almost 100% sure ive seen it on here before
pretty much the same as the “death before cheese” tattoo.
except this isn’t as amusing.
I love this piece of Sailor Jerry flash.
D-rock — I fail to see how judging Warren on his words and actions (as well as ridiculous facial hair) is close-minded. Now if Jordan had made ASSUMPTIONS about him…
That said, I do agree that modblog isn’t necessarily the best place for non-modification-related semi-political commentary, but in the end it is a private venture and all that.
I typically agree too. I was just being topical. And I had just read Savage Love.
I just feel calling him awful and walrus-looking aren’t the kinds of things this site is supposed to be about. I especially don’t think it’s good to make fun of him based on his physical appearance when our abnormal physical appearances are what bring us together.
abnormal? i don’t agree with that
jonny – We put holes in places where holes are not. We put permanent pictures on our bodies. That’s pretty abnormal.
I like this tattoo.
alright so it was the death before cheese one i was thinking of. my bad
Gawd, I love Dan Savage.
personally, i’d rather bme weren’t a place for homophobic bigots, but that’s just me.
Poor Jordan… I know you just want to be loved by us, but why bring the walruses into it?! They are cute and awesome and (probably) have nothing against gay people!! :p
Really nice colours in the tattoo, but… even if its from flash…. couldn’t they just tidy up the lines on the banner a little bit? XD
Hah, saddlebacking.
My friend dated a chick in high school who did that.
Dan Savage always makes me laugh.
holy bejeesus
whats really weird is my aunt and mom were talking about “purpose driven life” last night O_O
oh god *shakes head sadly*
He does look like a walrus.
love Dan Savage.
