I wouldn't get one myself, but I do admire the bravery and irony it takes to get a tattoo of a leg on your leg.

"Hang on – who did that!? Were you in a moving car when you were getting it done or something? It's really bad, I hope you didn't pay for that, honestly mate I would go and get that covered up by Steve Byrne or Liam Sparkes or something, either that or get your money back. Was it for a dare?"

"It's a David Shrigley drawing"

"Oh wow! That's great! Where can I get one?? It's just so, like, ironic?"

These make a change from the usual naff tribal and Chinese inscription tats. I like them.
However, it does amaze me that people will get any old shit tattooed onto their bodies!

As Ozzy Osbourne said 'These days it's more alternative to not have tattoos'.

This is not art. It's not even tattoo.

It's just plain stupid.

Why bother? You can get a free tattoo like that in any jail while being bent over the lower bunk.

I like Shrigley, he just does his thing. And while I personally wouldn't get one of his tats I agree with B, way better than a lot of cliche stuff you see around. Chinese writing, tribal signs etc.

This is very, very, very stupid. To let someone scar you and he can't even draw properly, sheesh. There really is one born every minute, (and here's eight minutes worth...)

Where has all the humour gone from some of these comments? They're just a bit of fun, and Shrigley isn't the only illustrator to make a living out of a drawing style like this.

I just want to shut the other xavier up. see when i see people with my name on forums saying stupid things, i get very scared other people will think its me. this is probably unreasonable and i should probably get over it.

It probably is art. It's DEFINITELY a tatoo, on account of the ink on the skin and such.

I think it's fucking great and i like to think if me and dave shrigley were ever in the military together he could do our regiment tatoos.

Hah!
