When my brother and I were little, my Barbies would often engage in warfare against his G.I. Joes. Sometimes there were casualties. A few Barbies came home from the battlefield missing their heads. Some G.I. Joes may or may not have been thrown off the balcony.
The Skipper Hostage Crisis of 1986 and subsequent covert operation culminating in Destro’s assassination are among the more vivid memories from my childhood. And yet, it never would have occurred to me to commemorate either with a tattoo.

Copy & paste this:
Are the popping bubbles to indicate the Wolverine is drunk with love for his new “special friend” or just hallucinating a ride on My Pretty Pony?
…I actually collect My Little Ponies. I just can’t figure out what sort of guy would want a tattoo of one.
I’m not sure why, but I find this tattoo to be completely awesome!
Hysterical tat, as was Jessica’s anecdote.
Awesome to look at, not sure how the guy would feel after having it for a couple of years.
Also, assassination by Barbie is a fitting end for Destro.
You have to be high to get this tattoo. There is NO logical process that leads to this other than doing mountains of crystal meth then staggering to the nearest tattoo parlour and without batting an eye saying “I want a pink My Little Pony. And Wolverine. Riding the Pony. Yeah!”
I know one thing, I have a new site to check every day, GeekyTattoos.com, FTW!
Have you seen the trailer for the live-action My Little Pony movie? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXoYK4b_q24. If one Hasbro toy can do it, why not another?
I am so glad to know I’m not the only one who used to mix Barbies and Joes this way…
My parents probably are too, now that I think of it. All those unnecessary years of therapy when I was as normal as the next kid!
Does the pony have metal claws too?
I would have made it a unicorn My Little Pony.
That would be because this tattoo is completely awesome.
Given the proportions, I believe it’s My Ginormous Pony and Wolverini.
maybe its some type of memorial for like someone who passed away ??? or maybe its a melange of homoerotic tension. thats all i got…
ooh, maybe Wolverine is going to kill it.
@surreal squirrel Oh Heavens, I hope so!
I’m pretty sure that wolverine thinks the whole situation is FAABULOUS. I mean notice the trail of sparkles.
This tattoo takes guts for a man to do! It has to be “Blossom” one of the calssics since its Purple mane and lavendar body. Love the sparklies… When Zelda came out, I wanted a tattoo of the triforce on my left hand just like Link! Wolverine has a sweet ride, and if he can get a ride into ponyland, he’ll never need to take drugs for a hallucination!
Its drawn well, but I still don’t understand it.
This tattoo is the awesomest thing I have ever seen – FOR REAL! I love it! It’s obvious that this person just loves MLP and X-Men and wanted to combine them. I don’t see anything wrong with that, and it’s drawn very well, too!
I would venture that this guy has two children: a boy, and a girl. At least I hope so.

The art is superb. Spot-on renditions of both Wolverine and the My Little Pony. But that doesn’t answer the question, WHY??
It also looks to me like the sparkles maybe are twinkling stars, like the night sky is the backdrop. Or maybe they’re magic.
Maybe someone took a wolverine action figure, hot-glued it onto a My little pony and made a bet with this person that THIS would be tattooed onto their body if they lost.
It’s one hell of a great conversation starter, though. Isn’t it? I would want to ask them wtf if I met them.
My name is Chris Yoakum. I did this tattoo, and so I am here to shamelessly self promote. The story behind this tattoo is that he and his sister used to play my little pony and he got it for her because she passed away. Ok she didn’t really, she just went to study in Australia for a summer, but the rest is true. The best part? Magneto on the other leg. Thanks for the kind words. Cheers.
That is… just about the most amazing thing ever.
@Chris Yoakum
AWESOME JOB CHRIS!!!
@Chris Yoakum
I kind of love the hell out of this tattoo, even though I can’t imagine having it permanently. Thanks for the backstory; that makes it kinda sweet.
We had the GI Joe Mounted Division, riding My Little Ponies into battle against the freakishly mutated giant Barbies.
Loving the brother-sister toy sharing experiences. Mine revolved around He-man characters and MPL. Usually the good guys riding the Ponies and utilizing their magic to attack the evil creatures of Skeletor and prehaps some subverted Ponies. The good guys always win.
I was going to say, who says it was on a guy? But that joke won’t exactly work now.
That is awesome! xD
I dont know why, but I want his tattoo now!
[...] were probably the only toys my brother and I had growing up that didn’t glorify warfare, promote gender stereotypes, or cause [...]
….I kinda want this airbrushed on a shirt now. Cant say that Logans ever looked manlier!!
[...] Well, this isn’t the worst Wolverine we’ve seen around here. But it certainly isn’t the best. [...]
My GI Joes always seemed to end up having sex with Barbies.
I would never allow GI Joe to have sex with MY Barbies…
That’s my territory, Joe.
Even the most girliest of tattoos can look awesome if Wolverine is included in it. Absolute great job, Chris Yoakum!
