someone got a tattoo of a joke drawing I did

posted almost 3 years ago by SEIBEI

So a long time ago, I drew a “taco dinosaur” as a joke, saying it would be my lazy way out on making a shirt about tacos:

And today someone left a comment on my blog:

I shit you not my friends, but i googled taco tattoo, found this picture, and got it tattooed yesterday.
Epic Win.
Pic Here:

dude, all I can say is holy fucking shit. It’s kinda weird that it’s not one of my actual designs now – I’m half tempted to release it as a limited edition shirt for like a month just in honor of the first dude to get something of mine tattooed on him. If nothing else, I emailed him and was like HOLY SHIT DUDE IS THAT FOR REAL? WORD UP WANT A COUPLE OF FREE SHIRTS?

    oh my, I’d seriously consider getting that as a tattoo.
    You could start a stalker tatto club, and I would join

    well, until this business eventually turns me into a jaded asshole, I think tattoos are going to equal loads of free shit from me, if that’s any extra incentive.

    hmmm then this potential tattoo is starting to sound like a magnificent idea.

    I talked to him recently, and he said everyone’s been telling him it would look better filled, so he’s going to have his tattoo artist draw on a pistol and a bandolier and fill it in.

    In honor of this first tattoo, I’m releasing a limited-edition shirt based on this joke drawing. soon.

    Gandalf = LOTR
    Dumbledore = Harry Potter

    Holy shit, someone just linked me to this-
    Had to sign up and defend my epic hairyness and pussyness outline.
    Firstly, the flash on the ole' camera phone exentuated the hair to a high degree to what i actually have. Granted, I am defineatly not bald, but i think its a bit of trick photography and light reflections. Also my arm looks fat due to the photo being taken straight after it being done (was quite swollen. Also i enjoy delicious cake).

    Second; the reason i didnt get it filled in was pretty simple: I paid $150 for that outline, and there was no way i was going to pay an additional 500 bucks to get her filled in by that place (500 was the quote). So currently looking around to get it filled on the somewhat cheap...

    I’ve been told many-a-time that i should "mexican it up" some (Possibly by a gun holster, 6shooter, or an antonio banderas style zorro mask to go over the eyes), but i feel somewhat rude modifying Mr Seibei’s original design (if he wants to make up some barbie style additives to put on top, i wont say no).

    The story is also legit, googled taco tattoo and that was one of the first results. May or may not have been intoxicated when i found it.\

    Anyways, Adios from sunny Brisbane, Australia, Need to get some sleep before partaking in my mediocre government job tomorrow.

    Looking foward to those rape stories man hahaha!!
    Stay classy san diego.
    thats if you live in san diego.

    Cheers-

    Ps. my mate just come back from thailand on holiday, and he saw this awesome shirt which i think you should create in your own image.
    Its a motorcycle doing a wheelie, smoke piling out the back with the statement written above "I Love Burritos."
    Or even a ManBearPig shirt.
    Make those and i’ll buy 10.
    Im super cerial.

    FYI David, we’re putting an old dinosaur back up onto our current site from our original website from 2002. You need to know so 1) you dont think we 'copied you' and 2) you might see why there was a similarity in the first place. we just draw monsters/dinosaurs similarly? Who knows.

    Anyway, here’s a link to said original website:
    Old Website.

    Depending on where you click on him Mothra will come out followed by Mr. T.

    If you have any comments or questions please email/call/Volcan Mind-Meld me. Thanks.

    I still need to make a shirt of this - Dylan, don’t worry dude, my main issue is figuring out what colors to do it in. I’m trying to come up with taco-esque colors, but I already have a taco-themed shirt that’s red and black on gold, so I need to stay away from those colors. Am also debating whether to "mexican" it up with holsters and stuff.

    Gabe - okay. For some reason it took me a few minutes to realize you were talking about the dinosaur right there on the front page. Word.
