Feel The Bern With A Bernie Tattoo

Yep! You can have your very own Bernie tattoo
And it's free! At Aartistic Inc, a Vermont tattoo shop.

Up here where I live in Vermont, Bernie Sanders is a popular guy.

As people go to the ballot boxes today in neighboring New Hampshire in the nation's first primary this election season, people here in the Green Mountain State hope the predictions are right and that he will trounce Hillary Clinton.  

We'll see. (you can never trust the public opinion polls. Especially in unpredictable New Hampshire, the graveyard of pollsters.)

Some people here in Vermont are so enthusiastic about Bernie they're getting Bernie tattoos. Really.

A Vermont tattoo shop, Aartistic Inc. is giving out free Bernie tattoos. They depict a little drawing of his wild hair and his trademark glasses in a cute little cartoon design.

Aartistic owner Tyre Duvernay told Mashable via email: "He has served this state well and has always conveyed the feelings of Vermonters in Washington. Which is why he's my choice to support in this way."

As much as people like Bernie, there's always the risk of eventual buyers' remorse with any tattoo.

I'm sure people will still enjoy having the tattoo even if Sanders does not ultimately become the Democratic nominee or president.

So far, I'm not aware of anyone getting a Bernie tattoo on their face, but I'm sure that day will come.

Back in 2012, a guy had a large Mitt Romney campaign logo tattooed onto the side of his face. The guy has since had two laser treatments and will need more to get the now fading Romney tattoo off his face.

No word yet from the Sanders campaign on whether he approves of all these Bernie tattoos.

Jerk With Pinnochio Tattoo In Worst Possible Place Banned From Airline Flight

Tom Washington and part of his, um,
interesting Pinocchio tattoo.  

It seems like everybody has tattoos these days

Some of the tattoos are really awesome and creative. Others, not so much.

Then there's Tom Washington, 22, a British guy who was kicked off a Jet2.com flight and banned frm the airline for life for showing his, um, creative tattoo to other passengers aboard a recent flight.

That tattoo of Pinocchio , as the Grimsley Telegraph in England delicately puts it, is "located in his pubic area."

You'll never guess what the tattoo of Pinocchio's nose is on Washington.

Let's really not go there.

It didn't help that Washington is the life of the party, of sorts. Not a party I'd necessarily want to go to, but a party guy nonetheless.

He and about 20 of his friends boarded the flight dressed as female Jet2.com flight attendants.

Here's how Washington described the scene as the May 1 flight got ready to take off.

"I got up up but because my jacket was too tight, it exposed my chest which I had covered with a bra." 

How considerate!

He goes on about the next moment, when the flight crew typical gives the pre-flight safety speech:

"I then proceeded to 'help' the cabin staff with the talk using a sex toy. There were some old men on the plane as well and they were a laugh. The lads mentioned I had a tattoo of Pinocchio which I showed them and that was the point when the manager took my passport."

Yeah, the flight crew was probably afraid of what Washington would do next. God forbid if somebody on the plane started talking and not telling the truth.

I wonder (not obsessively!) if Washington has a sexual fetish with that tattoo. Can you hear him with some gal or guy, depending on his sexual orientation: "Oh, baby, lie to me, just don't tell me the truth, I'll lie to you, too. Oh yes, more lies, yes, yes, YES!!!"

I also hope I'm never anywhere near Washington when the Eurythmics song "Would I Lie To You" starts playing.

This guy should also stay away from politicans, too. Especially American ones.

And of course, we'd likely hear this sentence uttered by somebody meeting this guy: "Are you lying to me or are you just happy to see me?"

Guy Tattoos His Kids Doodles On His Arm; Much Cooler Than You'd Expect

Kids' artwork, and Keith Anderson's arm.

Looking for ideas for a tattoo?

If you've got a kid who likes to draw, maybe look to the tike as inspiration.

That's what Keith Anderson of Peterborough, Ontario, Canada did, says Buzzfeed. 

His son draws a picture, and then dad goes and has the exact image of the kid's artwork done on his right arm.

Photographer Chance Faulkner stumbled upon this guy and took some photos. Pretty sweet!

"I have had three different artists tattoo these drawings over the years....Recently my son was there with me and he did some of the tattooing himself. He loves it," said Anderson.

Anderson said he'll keep getting tattoos based on his son's artwork until the kid doesn't want to do it anymore.  

Another example of the kids drawing, and Anderson's arm. 

If he runs out of room on one arm, he'll either ask the kid to start drawing smaller or go on to the other arm. Or something.

Anderson said nobody had heard of using a child's doodles for tattoos, so he decided to go for it.

Personally, I like the bond this must help create between father and son. Way to go Keith Anderson!
