Extreme tattoos: Thanksgiving immortalized
Ah, the holiday season. Today begins a six-week festive overload, complete with family feuds, excessive food consumption and mall parking lot fender-benders. Truly, ’tis a season to remember all 365 days of the year. And there’s no better way to memorialize something than to permanently etch it onto your flesh. So, in honor of Thanksgiving and all its glory, I bring you a series of tattooed Tofurkey-Day mementos.
I’m not sure that the subjects of these photos are particularly thankful for what must have been a serious lapse in rational thought – but I hope you give thanks that, at the very least, these tattoos don’t belong to you.
First and foremost, secular holiday enthusiasts associate Thanksgiving with food. In particular:
Dead Animals. This isn’t a turkey. But it is funny.
Select harvest vegetables.
Pie.
And drinking a lot of booze (but hopefully not with this dude)
Don’t forget to remember your family
(Points if you can combine family and harvest vegetables into one tattoo)
And, of course, some might prefer to reflect on what Thanksgiving is really about. Perhaps this one, “Evil Death” sums it up:

If I were to ever get a tattoo, I’m pretty sure it would be of food. Perhaps a slice of pie? The design would be tasteful (pun intended) of course!

I do have a friend with a very cute tattoo of a muffin – she’s a baker – so I am not categorically opposed to food tattoos. But corn on the cob? Really?

First of all… did I give you written or expressed permission to use the picture of my hand tattoos? Let alone completely disrespect me by the comment of being thankful that they are not on the reader???? Seriously?? And add a big Fuck you with a Cherry on top. Remove my photo immediately!
kinda of a dumb blog. of all the millions of really horrible tattoos out there, almsot all the ones she picked for this were actually really good. (not even to mention none of them had anything to do with thanksgiving).the questioning of why someone would have his grandpas name with corn?maybe hes a corn farmer?or why you would have portraits of your kids?maybe he likes his kids more than a dragon?the mom tatoo obviously shows those were her moms favorite things and she wants people to remember her and her intrests. the cake and pie were cute as can be and the girl is a baker.again, this blog didnt make much sense.
