This is why I would never get a cat. One minute they’re swiping at your ankle from under the couch, and the next minute they’re sitting at the back porch with a severed head and an AK-47. I just can’t deal with the moodiness.

Copy & paste this:


I think it’s awesome. It’s always good to see a tattoo incorporating my love for re-animator and the justice system. At least I think that’s the re-animator head.
Now all the tat needs is an Lolcat caption.
sekhmet, is that you?
That’s what I was thinking too! The heart on the scale is very Egyptian mythology too.
but the scale confuses meeee
wasn’t it anubis/maat who weighed the hearts of the dead?
and this looks like sekhmet.
could be bast.
watever im a nerd
why the nipples, man? WHYYYY?
yes the kitty nipples are a little creepy lmao
I iz in yur juztice system makin yur lawz.
an beheadin’ ur dudes.
…for ceiling cat
Now THAT’s funny!
Zing of the day!
I think it’s cool… a bit odd content-wise, but I bet there’s a story. Plus the ink is pretty good, nice shading a color. At least is not some youtube phenomena… that I know of…
oops… make that shading AND color.
I hope you are paying jesi five million skillion dollars for setting you up with an opening line like that, because the result is pure poetry.
where’s my money, dude? im sending bast with her rifle to collect!
Well, it’s bound to happen to all of us at least once. I actually like this. It’s technically well done, and it obviously has meaning without the meaning being too obvious. I’d like to hear the story.
i think its Bast from Neil Gaimans the Sandman comics. If not, they probably lifted the cats face from it anyways…
Then again, Bast ist an Egyptian goddess and Lady Justice – to whom the symbolism in this tattoo refers – is of Roman origin. Also – at least in “Seasons of Mists” – Bast is dark furred. [/geekmode]
But you could be right about her being the template for this tattoo.
Anyway, a seriously weird mixture of symbols.
Eh, didn’t all those mythologies mix at some point or another anyway?
Roman and Greek yes; the Egyptian mythology is an altogether different story.
yeah doesnt really look like any rendition of bast that i remember from the comic… although the creepy, cat-nipple sentiment is the same [really, gaiman, must you make with the furries?].
Yeah, I was thinking Bast’s gone bad…
reminds me of Mars Attacks! when the aliens take the head off the dog & put it on the girl’s body. (unless i’m wrong and totally just made it up, i was like 8 when i saw this movie…)
still creepy.
That’s a weird tattoo.
I’m confused.
Is this supposed to be Bast, weighing the heart of a dead zombie junkie? Bast did not perform such tasks. And why the rifle? Is Bast on a cleansing spree again?
i like it!
I really wish there was some way to make this the Ugliest Tattoos slogan.
i know the movie that Weregoat is talking about it had the big marsians it was hilarious this is the link from imdb http://www.imdb.com/media/rm4186217472/tt0116996
that’s the one!
Someone’s been watching way too much Doctor Who.
omg! that’s what i thought!
lol!!!
How creepily Freudian.
I like it, not really sure why but I do. The execution, like the subject, is odd …but overall I am pleased by it.
I actually like this one for both it’s quirky aesthetics and the fact that it’s very well inked!
I fully agree. I find the use of the light blue for highlighting a bit off when compared to the other colours, but that may be the artist’s personal touch, along with the cool glow of the heart. The cat’s eyes seem a bit reptilian to me, which just adds to the cool “what?” factor, as opposed to WTF, which tends to have negative connotations.
Indeed, this one must have an equally-cool story and/or meaning behind it, which is a great departure from so many others. Excellent execution of the inkwork. I love this one!
Oh, and IN before some douchewad yells “man hands.”
i love your comments on cat mood swings! you really make me laugh – and make my day! love this site
How do they do it?
As ‘The Onion’ sez- Kittens think of nothing but murder all day long. Cats act on their ideas all day long, I see.
This is absolutely spectacularly amazing. I love this so much!
This is pretty epic.
i’m not certain but i think this might be a tattoo of an illustration by artist Patrick Woodroffe. I would look it up so i could say for sure but i know i won’t be able to find it on the internet… he was pretty prolific in the 70s. if it’s not, oops. everyone who liked this tattoo should look woodroffe up anyway. patrick woodroffe goes hard.
I just looked him up. WOW! Awesome stuff! I love this guy’s art. So weird and other-worldly, like Salvador Dali meets Frank Frazetta (who, alas, died a few days ago.)
“My cat is so cute! You should see him when he’s playing with a pair of my rolled-up socks!”
“Oh, yeah? Let me show you what MY cat can do….”
