I never really understood Ghostbusters as an allegory for World War II, but maybe I just wasn’t paying enough attention.
Just kidding, of COURSE I was paying attention! It’s Ghostbusters for god’s sake! No one has paid closer attention to that movie than I have, and I can tell you right now that it wasn’t an allegory for World War II. It was an allegory for the Slovenian peasant revolt of 1515. Duh.

Copy & paste this:
why is the hitler ghost wearing a boob-tube version of the uniform?
it looks weird the way it just cuts off under the crossing red stripe.
otherwise: well executed, but odd.
To each their own???
Ghostbusters IV: Sta-Puft’s Revenge
Mr. Sta-Puft is rockin out one mean ghetto blaster.. I wonder what jams he has pumpin out of there?

It has to be Ray Parker Jr.’s tune right? However, I can’t help picturing him sexing it up for the ladies to “When Doves Cry.”
I used to work with a girl who looked like a cross between the Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man and Violet Beauregard after she chewed the gum. I’m pretty sure she wasn’t a Nazi, though.
And the Nazi ghost reminds me of the Pringles Man for some reason.
He reminds me more of Sergeant Schultz, of “I know nothingk” fame.
Maybe it’s the facial expression.
My immediate impression was John Goodman, due to the shape of his head.
or Johnny Gleason
Jackie Gleason sorry
Ah, man, now I want pringles.
Was there actually such a revolt in 1515? I know about the one from 1573… Or is this connected to the Hvar Rebellion in Dalmatia?
he probably doesnt know were slovenia is anyway
aaahhhh…Hitler is so cute!!! I love it!!!
Maybe I’ve seen Little Nicky too many times, but, from the facial expression, it looks like Hitler’s ghost is about to get his daily pineapple.
Maybe the devil will let him pcik the small one this time. poor Hitler T.T
My vote is that it’s John Goodman dressed as a Nazi. Any takers?
Looks like we responded right around the same time. =)
I ain’t afraid of no Roseanne.
Trying to figure this one — maybe the tatted has been told that he can’t play music at volume and his oppressors are represented by the Hitler ghost?
Dorky.
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
There’s no objective sense to be made of this tattoo, it’s like image salad.
I know the artist and the client that got this….
the client is a jewish ginger…
his words… not ours…
his idea… not the artist…
and it was all fun and games!
Being a Ghostbusters fan on the having-a-logo-tattooed level, I really tried to understand what thís is all about. A better option would be the two parts separated, because it doesn’t make much sense. A “no Hitler ghost” paired with Stay Puft on the rampage with a ghetto blaster? Maybe Hitler is stunned by the fact that he didn’t ask Gozer to join the WWII on his side…
[...] I’m going to have to add a tag for tattoos that are, as far as I can tell, two or more completely unrelated ideas tacked together, just so I have a place to put things like a Falcor/2Pac mashup. What should [...]
Has no one noticed that Mr. Stay Puffed is dressed as Donald Duck?
Well, no, actually. He’s pretty much dressed as, err, the Stay-puft Man.
