How NOT to remember someone…

Creepiest Tattoo of 2011?

When I first saw this unfortunate permanent skin marking, I thought about Napoleon Dynamite’s famous movie quote, [To Trisha] “It took me like three hours to finish the shading on your upper lip.” (Both were done as tribute, but ended up being REALLY unflattering.)

Napoleon Dynamite parades his drawing skills to impress Trisha.

THE HUGE DIFFERENCE, being, of course, Napoleon Dynamite was a fictional (I think) movie, and his bad drawing was on paper (not indelible ink on flesh).

I’m sure there’s a lesson for all of us here. Art talent matters, because it can leave such a lasting impression.

Donate some fitting adjectives in the comments section, k?

  2. Low-IQ? Dental-hygienically challenged? Sunken-eyed? Schnozalicious?

    What a terrible thing to do to that lovely girl’s image.
