wife wants a tattoo

Post Reply New Topic

She asked me if it would be okay if she got a tattoo of her favorite cartoon character, Betty Boop along with a heart with our daughter's name in it.

I said it would be okay (not that she needs my permission but she was more like asking for advise) so I made this:

Betty Boop rocks.

that's my name!

Cute!..though I shy away from getting cartoon characters and such..other than those I design myself...(but that's just me)

I always feel bad when I see a tattoo of a cartoon character that is done badly

How big and what part of the body?

not sure where she wants it. Hopefully on the ankle or thereabouts.

Probably gonna go for 2" or so.

My only advice is for her to go to the best artist she can find. When I lived in Maine, there were said to be no exceptional tattoo artists in the state. Collectors went to conventions or travelled to MA or NH. Except that one summer when Sailor Jerry was in Bar Harbor.

Yes you do not want to hear the tattoist say three quarters of the way through the proceedure say "Oh shucks!! it is not going to fit"

Betty Boop rocks!

Or, you do not want to hear the tattoist say three quarters of the way through the procedure say "Actually, I failed art at highschool" or "does it really matter if your Betty Boops is headless?"

i got one 2 weeks ago, its gone a lighter color where i let it scab, i believe this is not good

im sorry but you've reminded me of that 70's show


(Leo’s living room again. Eric is leaning against Leo’s TV with his pants down.
Leo is behind him tattooing something. Hyde and Fez are holding Eric’s hands.)

Eric: (very drunk) How cool am I? Tattooing my girlfriend’s name. How’s that for
dangerous?

Leo: I think Debbie is really going to like this.

Eric: (nodding.) Wait, Debbie? No, Donna!

Leo: Right. No problem…. I can fix it.

Eric: Wait, fix what?

Leo: Relax, Debbie will never notice.

Eric: It’s Donna! (He tries to turn around to see.)

Leo: See, now you moved, man! It’s okay; I can make that into a flower.

Fez: You know what you should get? Boobs. Big boobs on your butt.

Hyde: That’s classy.

Leo: Hey, I can turn the B’s into boobs.

Eric: Wait, what B’s?!

Leo: Like in your girlfriend Debbie?

Eric: It’s DONNA!

Leo: Oh, right. Oh, I can fix that.


and the episode ends with
Donna: No, it’s a picture of Snoopy’s friend, Woodstock. You have a little
yellow bird on your ass!

I have seen some really terrible Woodstock Tattoos.
