I take it the little piggy went to market, got kidnapped by terrorists and decapitated?
That little piggy is SO not halal!
I really like this. I bet the smile and look of respect at his sense of humor makes up for the double takes and shocked looks he is used to getting. I had a friend who had nine toes in middle school through early college and I’d heard from him for years that he had only 9 toes. The first time I saw them in the flesh was still a bit disconcerting.
maybe this is the friend!
“…I had a friend who had nine toes in middle school through early college …”
How many did he have after that?
Maybhe he was no longer a friend after that, just an acquaintance with nine toes?
Or the missing one just grew in? You know, like a wisdom tooth. Or he lost another one?
maybe he died. my condolences if i’ve solved it.
I knew a man with a wooden leg named Smith.
Why was his wooden leg named Smith?
What was the name of his other leg?
Smith too ??
No, Smith two.
Clearly, they never had a grammar class together during that time.
he only had nine toes middle school through early college? did he get one reattached in college?
How do you see a missing toe in the flesh?
This isn’t ugly, it’s awesome!
Totally agree. This guy is my Hero Of The Day! Nothing ugly here!
The only problem I see is that it should reference staying home, since that toe is “this little piggie stayed home”. Other than that I thought it was pretty clever.
It does. It says “gone to market” IOW – did not stay home-
I actually respect this and do not see the fail or ugliness of it at all.

It is actually incorrect. The big toe “went to the market”, and the next one “stayed home”. Horrible tattoo and a fail…
But a “stayed home” sign wouldn’t have been as funny, and I’m sure he knows the correct order. Survey says, “You fail!”. Tattoo wins!
I dunno, dude. That piggy was supposed to stay home, but you can’t very well get a tattoo about that when the little bastard goes missing. It makes me think the guy saw pictures of the other “this little piggy” foot tattoos and thought he’d get in on the action, except his didn’t quite work out that way with the sign he chose.
I don’t think it’s a bad tattoo, but I agree with Duh that it’s a fail. If he wanted to be cute about it, he could have done something like make it look like a note left, such as “Sick of staying home. Went for a walk.”
The man can’t help that his toes got the order messed up! The big toe said, “Hey, bro, I’m the one who’s supposed to stay home! You get outta here and go to market!” And no one argues with the big boss when they tell you something.
…but “Sick of staying home. Went for a walk.” would require more thought. And probably more gazing at his foot. For non-feet people, that’s kinda mean.
While yes it may be the second toe, the joke is that the piggy went to the market as in “BACON!”
St… Stayed home? Wow, that actually makes some sense. And here’s me wondering how a pig could play baseball for all these years.
right, gone is the past participle of the verb to go and the past tense is went. if you are going to tattoo something on yourself…
That’s kind of the joke.
Saying the nursery rhyme in correct order is so mainstream…
I believe I said that.
Look at my name, now look at yours. Look at this pizza. Now back at my name. Thanks for feeding me.
Oh! Hate feeding the trolls, but that was freakin funny… Grrrrrr.
Maybe that’s why he never came back? He got lost cause he doesnt usually go.
I thought I was the only one who noticed. Thank God I wasn’t.
I would have left it untattooed then run around with a bottle of tomato sauce and be all like “me fuckin’ toe, yaaaaaaaaaaaa” and freak fools out
HAhahahahha….I like it.
be way funnier if you had a little strap-on prosthetic piggy
Good thing it wasn’t the “Stayed Home” one. That would be awkward.
It’s very well done, though. Made me smile when I first saw it!
it IS the “stayed home” piggy!
This little piggy went to market,
This little piggy stayed at home,
This little piggy had roast beef,
This little piggy had none.
And this little piggy went…
“Wee wee wee” all the way home…
You’ve missed the joke.
Maybe this time he went to market and the big piggy stayed home?
I laughed.
That’s actually the piggy that stayed home.
Ha! That’s actually creative.
hahahahahaha! And just like my daddy, he’s never coming home! rofl!
…
I’m not even going to ask about that one.
Good idea… just walk away slowly.
i think he’s got his piggies confused. the piggy he lost was SUPPOSED to stay home. what did he do to make that piggy wanna run away? lack of roast beef?
maybe his piggies decided to be different maybe his first little piggy went on a drunken binge and bought lots of whores, so the little piggy that stayed home had to go to the market to get antibiotics for the piggy std’s he got.
Yeah! Who said his piggies had to follow the crowd? Not that that is always a good thing, but you never know…
Maybe the piggies had a chore cycle, and so different piggies would go to market on different days, while the others would alternately stay home, eat (or not eat) roast beef, and cry “Wee, etc.”
WIN!
Owl, you are my new favorite commenter
Oink oink… something sure bit a chunk out of that pigpen.
Actually, according to wikipedia:
This little piggy went to market.
This little piggy stayed at home.
This little piggy had roast beef,
This little piggy had none.
And this little piggy went “Wee! Wee! Wee!” all the way home.
So I the way I learned it, it starts with the big toe… which means that the one that’s missing actually is the one that stayed home…
Psh… he’s got it all wrong.
You had to WIKI the ‘this little piggy’ rhyme? YOU sir are the Fail.
Erm, not all of the visitor’s here grew up in American nursery-culture. ^^
Before reading the comments I didn’t even know it relates to a nursery-rhyme. I thought (and perhaps that’s the reason why the guy got it ‘wrong’) that he lost this piggy at a market (i.e. accident etc.)
You don´t need to be raised in american nursery culture to know that rhyme…i am from germany and i know this rhyme but it could be that the german and the american nursery culture are related…
OMG – you all are killing me! ROFLMBFWAO!
All those years of brainwashing children’s books showing the “little pig went to market” holding a shopping basket has masked the truth of little piggies going to market. When little piggies go to market, they come home on styrofoam trays with saran wrap over them.
GREAT! Someone who finally understands the rhyme!
Well, that’s just because people illustrate nursery rhyme books. You learn when you’re older. The point isn’t to traumatize, it’s to play with a baby.
Then where do the other lines come from?
I think this is clever, not ‘ugly’. Maybe he’ll work with the tattoo a bit more, seems a litttleee bland (like ballpoint pen bland), but otherwise I like it!
I DIDN’T EVEN NOTICE HE HAD 4 TOES!!
I got distracted by the hair…
Me too!!!
I actually like this. I don’t think it’s ugly though. The toes freaked me out at first but the tat is pretty good.
I think it’s great that he’s thinking out of the box and allowing some role play amongst the piggies. Perhaps the marketing piggie got bored and asked the stay at home piggie to carry some of the load.
I see a bunch of you are new here. There have been a few other “piggy” tattoos featured here on feet that are missing toes. So far, all those had the rhyme order correct.
This was very creative. Now people look at his foot and laugh instead of being creeped out. Who cares if it’s actually the “went to market” toe, you got it, didn’t ya? enuf said.
I agree, the point of the joke is that the toe’s gone, and the order of the rhyme doesn’t matter. But I agree it’d have been funnier if it looked like a note saying “Went to Market!” instead of a wooden post sign. Odd choice.
“Let this be a warning to all the little piggies out there!!! STAY HOME and you will remain safe!!!”
signed,
A grieving mother pig
Awesome tat.
Scary toes.
that will haunt my dreams
‘gone to the market’ is funnier anyway
as tatoos making fun of one’s lack of something go, this is a hekova lot less scary than the arm amputee with the giant toenail
plz add a T to tattoo and a C to heckova
I’d kinda like to see that one in person just to get a better perspective of it. If I had a choice between seeing that and the shark one, though, I’d pick the shark because that one is fücking AWESOME!
foot binding or accident?
If you view this one first….
http://ugliesttattoos.failblog.org/2009/12/16/…to-find-someone-with-better-taste-in-fonts/
I like it. He’s making light of an obviously unfortunate situation.
Very clever! Like others have said, the fact that this guy has a sense of humor about his missing toe is awesome. And yes, I’m sure he’s aware of the correct order of the rhyme. It’s still a great concept.
I like it. I mean, dude’s foot is never going to be particularly attractive, but he’s turned it into something funny and clever.
that’s not a tattoo. it’s obviously from a shop on a paper towel but there’s no blood, no smeared ink, no swelling and his foot is hairy as a hobbits. not to mention you can tell it’s pen.
What paper towel?
Not all tattoos swell up and not all bleed a lot. This one has some redness, but that extends across the top of the foot, like he took his shoe off for the picture. It looks like he had the work done about a week before and came in for the “after” picture. The paper towel is laid down for cleanliness measures. If you look underneath the paper towel and his foot, you can see the covered arm/foot rest that’s used when getting some tattoos on arms, feet, ankles, tops of legs, etc.
I didn’t think any tattoos bled any unless there was something wrong.
Then you obviously do not have any yourself and/or have never seen a fresh tattoo. Plenty of bleeding after a tattoo.
This looks like the guy who got his thumb bit off and replaced it with his toe
Another clear WIN!
How does the guy lose that toe and none of the others?
Industrial accident would be my guess, you can see where the skin has formed over the stump.
He stubbed his toe on a blue waffle.
Good thing lunch was about 3 hours ago otherwise I would have blown chunks all over my keyboard!
strange accidents can happen – for example, I have dropped a log and fractured my 2nd toe instead of my big toe.
One of my friends had to have their second toe cut off due to a lawnmowing accident.
I love it.
Can switching to Geico really save you 15% or more on car insurance? Did the little piggy cry “wee wee wee” all the way home?
Maxwell!
Love it, love it, love it!
Hang on, who the fuck feeds roast beef to a pig?
ha!
“All our pigs are beef fed for that double meaty goodness!”
Pigs are Omnivores… they eat anything. and by that, I mean “Anything.” — Mathew Grey Gubler, Dr. Reid, Criminal Minds (apologies in advance for spelling errors)
in my warped-but-hilarious Father’s version of the Three Little Pigs, the TLP were hanging out in the brick house watching football and eating ham & macaroni and cheese while the big bad wolf was blowing and blowing.
They also didn’t say “Not by the hair on my chinny-chin-chin.” They said “Nuh-uh!”
I grew up awesome.
I would have liked to see a little piggy ransom note instead.
It definitely would have been more creative!
First: I had to look twice at this one “Holy crap, one’s missing!”
Second: Jesus, look at all the anal comments… Appreciate the joke already.
This isn’t a fail, nor is it ugly. This is a total win!!!!
WhaAT! ROFL
Uhh, the phrase “gone to market” means slaughtered and sold…. that’s why it’s not “gone to THE market”.
Personally don’t care what others say, I saw that one and immediately thought, “That, dear sir, is a win.”
I did, too. Make the best of what’s around, say I.
Sent this link to a diabetic friend who had big toe amputated this week. Needed to make him laugh.
WORKED
Win!
I grew up hearing ” This little piggy had corned beef and cabbage”, not roast beef. I guess in my house we had a tighter budget.
Personally, I love this, this person has a good outlook on what can’t have been a fun thing to happen to him. In my book this is a gaint WIN.
Isn’t that the ‘This little piggy stayed at home’ toe?
Did you not read the other comments?
The M, dude… put the pizza down and back away slowly…. you already fed these guys once…
i love it!! great way to make light of a crap situation
I would if i only had 4 toes.At least it doesn’t say wee wee wee all the way home.
Major props to this guy. That tattoo, while simple, is epic. Definitely not an “ugly” tat.
this site usually puts art that i dont consider ugly. this took courage. the process of loosing a limb is similar to loosing someone. even if its just a toe. that took guts, wit, self appreciation and respect. this is awesome
I thought the big to was the one who went to the market? and ther next one stayed home, and then one ate roast beef, and one ate none, and the last lil piggy went weeeeeeeeeeee all the way home!!!!!!!!!!! If your gona do a tat like this I would think you would get it right.
At least this is on their foot so they can cover it up!
