I’m a day early, I know, but Mike Tweeted a photo of the outline of his new tattoo. And he said you should give someone a hug because he’s sure you know someone who needs one. You do. It’s me. Because of this.
As we’ve discussed, I’m not really into tattoos. Yes, that’s weird. There are some I like and even a few I think are hot but since 100% of no one gives a crap what I think about Mike’s tattoo, I can tell you that I hate it. When it’s shaded/colored I will hate it even more.
The artwork of it is quite nice, and even has an Alphonse Mucha thing going with the girls’ hair. But it’s the first Mikey Monday that does not get the “Pants Loves” category.
This is what I get for falling for the Capitals. Sidney would never, ever, ever do this to me.
UPDATE: Thanks Lindsay for sending us back to Twitter for the final:
Okay, maybe I don’t hate it more. Maybe Mike’s standing that way so you’re not even looking at his arm (right?!). Fidget and I will agree to disagree on this one, but I’ve stopped crying. We still have the glasses. Instead I’ll just wonder why the ceiling in his closet is so low and what he hangs on those two fancy hangers in the corner.
What's Up, Ya Sieve? 
There’s a girl in there? Please can you put an arrow on it to show me? Pretty please?
He’s prolly at home in Calgary, so you know what you should do, right?
In South Park style: Blame Canada! (and Mike’s Fidget/Sad Panda thing he’s got going on…)
It gets worse!!!! Mike JUST Tweeted the final product. Uuuuggghh. I like tattoos but the glasses and half sleeve together are too much. One person genre at a time, Mike, please! Either nerd OR hipster. Not at the same time.
The only good news is Mike is coming home to Calgary TODAY! Meaning Operation Stalking Fidget 2011 begins STAT!
We expect photos. Lots of! And bless Mike for trying to start a new trend: The Nipster!
Or the Hiperd?
No?
Right, it doesn’t have quite the same feel to it.
While Pants loathes this whole Mikey tattoo fiasco, I’m sort a digging it. I like the juxtaposition (10pt word) of the nerdiness of the glasses and the BAMF-ness of the full sleeve.
Admittedly, I’m a fan of tattoos, as long as they’re well done. And that tattoo is VERY well done. Mikey just got a lot sexier to me, damnnn.
Not happy.
I love tattoos, I’m a huge fan of them.
But this…
I need a hug too.
I love tattoos and hockey players so this is like nirvana to me.
Oh, I’m so glad I’m not the only one that is in the “not lovin’ Mikey’s tattoo” camp. And it got even worse when you pointed out the girl.
Sad panda. Un-tattooed sad panda.
I had a feeling you would post this and I was going to send you the link of the final result. It’s a yes-no for me. I like it yet at the same time, I’m like not sure. But loveeeeeee the galsses 🙂 🙂
I can’t decide how I feel about tattoos. I think I kind of like them, as long as they aren’t stupid. And that’s the problem. Most of them are sooooo stupid. So I can’t decide about Mike’s tattoo here because I’d need to see the whole thing and hear his explanation about what the hell it’s supposed to mean. I kind of respect when guys get the whole sleeve done. Like if you’re going to get a tattoo, you might as well get a huge one that says “I am totally serious about tattoos.”
No comment on the tattoo, yet. I haven’t quite figured out my thoughts.
Those photos weren’t from his apartment…perhaps the hotel room of the dude that flew out to do the ink? Mikey’s pad is MUCH nicer (in was profiled in a NoVA designer magazine last year).
And those glasses, I don’t even notice anything else when he’s rockin’ those glasses. *WEAK KNEES*
