One thing you must admit about Dean...

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

... his fans sure are dedicated!

[LuminousX]

1. It isn't about the man, it is about the movement

[John_H]

18. Actually, and perhaps unintentionally, the tat proves you're right on.

[incapsulated]

2. Please tell me...

That's a stick-on! :scared:

 

[jonnyblitz]

3. I posted that picture awhile back from the punxfordean.com site

I have 8 tats and think that tat is stupid. NEVER tattoo somebody's name on your body.

[Hep]

4. That doesn't apply here

This movement is something that this person will be able to look back on fondly, regardless of how it turns out. It's not like a boyfriend.

[incapsulated]

5. A boyfriend would at least make some sense

But a political candidate??

:silly:

[Hep]

8. If you don't get it

you don't get it. I can't explain it to you, so to each his own, right?

[jonnyblitz]

i never thought of that.

good point! :hi:

[Hep]

11. Thanks!

I should point out that I wouldn't choose that tat, but hey! I've seen worse!

[JVS]

6. Sweet!

[windansea]

7. does he have Dukakis

on the other arm??

[Hep]

10. Hyuck!

12. I hope that Carter or Clinton

will turn out to be the more accurate comparison.

I didn't vote for Reagan but Carter, Clinton, and Reagan all got into the White House as governors.

9. Ouch. Ouch Ouch. Ouch!

[Lobo_13]

13. I almost got a tat of

Bill and Opus for President.

Then my girlfriend said she'd dump me. So I didn't do it.

[Hep]

14. Oh man!

Can I steal the idea?

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

15. Hep, check it out - you and I agree!

If I were to get a tatoo, I would get Bill & Opus too!

[Hep]

17. This AND neocon backlash against Bush?

A late christmas present!

Cheers!

[Lobo_13]

16. knock yourself out.

both of you.

19. it's airbrushed on

you can tell when a tat is first done because there's redness and swelling. The plastic implies that it's a new tat, but no tatooist would ever cover a new tat with plastic. A tattoo is an open wound... plastic covering is just about the worst thing you could cover it with.

Airbrushed body painting can last awhile as long as it's protected. I once had been airbrushed with tiger stripes for a show and covering with plastic helps to preserve the paint. I had to SaranWrap most of my body before putting clothes on to preserve the paint until the show.

[wtmusic]

20. tiger stripes! grrrrrr!

any pictures?

[TorchTheWitch]

22. yep

I have a few but they're after jumping in the bathtub full of milk so the paint's all smeared. And they're... ah... not something I could post on here or link to. *ahem* ;)

Excellent job it was though. Looked very realistic, but it took almost 5 hours!

[Buffler]

25. Ding Ding Ding!!!

As someone with tattoos, you are dead on right. Often a fresh tat will be covered with a paper towel for about an hour. But saran wrap? NEVER!

And the total lack of swelling and readness is a dead giveaway that it is not a real tattoo.

[TorchTheWitch]

26. yep, paper towell

until any bleeding stops and to keep evil germies away until you can slather on the Neosporin. Then there's the scabbing... don't pick... resist the urge to pick... resist... resist! Don't want to mess it up by picking the crusties off! MUST... RE... SIST! ;)

The birds are pretty lousy aren't they? Typical cheapo stencil from the "Be A Tattooist And Make Lots of Money" kit. Too bad whoever got this design done didn't go to a better artist. Ah well, airbrushing doesn't last anyway.

[DoveTurnedHawk]

21. Umm...What the Hell IS That? An Arm? A Leg?

Which way is the torso?

:crazy:

DTH

[TorchTheWitch]

24. looks like the design

is on the inside of the forearm.

[wyldwolf]

23. Yes, I'll admit that!
