It's The Rainbows That Kill Me

Posted by Dan Savage on Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 9:15 AM

Centaurs are popping up everywhere...

That's half of Patrick Swayze—the top half—as seen in an SNL skit in which he played a Chippendales' dancer—or a wannabe Chippendales' dancer (I believe he was auditioning to be a Chippendale's dancer)—but he's been turned into a dickless centaur with a thing for rainbows. It's featured in the Telegraph's collection of "The Best, Worst, and Most Ridiculous Tattoos Ever."

There is just too much wrong with that tattoo to even start to list....

Tacky is a good place to start though

Wrong in just so many ways.

Funny, that was one of the first things I noticed (though it's a pretty busy tattoo) - the man part is Swayze, but the horse part is a MARE!?

Girl horse + boy human = odd centaur?

No, thanks. I won't be running out to get one.

This reminds me of www.cornify.com, which lets you put unicorns and rainbows on anything web-y. It alters images & webpages a la Lindy West.

I can only assume that this tattoo ended up in the "Best" category?

Oh my goodness. I just got out of bed and you had me spitting out coffee laughing. I didn't even read the headline. That has got to be the toughest tattoo ever. It does make me sad to think that Patrick Swayze is going to probably die of cancer though.

I would have gotten one with Chris Farley instead of Swayze.

This tattoo predates the Old Spice commercials. Maybe Old Spice was "inspired" by this majestic piece of art?

I just can't bring myself to believe that's anything but marker pen. Nobody could tat such hideousness on their body. Noooooooooo!

That. Is. Awesome.

I can't imagine ever being drunk enough, stoned enough, coked up enough, or consume enough meth to tattoo something that hideous on my body.

I mean sure, Patrick Swayze circa 1990 was pretty hot. And, okay, I occasionally have lurid dreams about centaurs (although they are usually MALE centaurs). And yes I do have a rainbow bumper sticker on my car.

But that is nevertheless seriously fucked up.

This makes me happy that I waited a year for each of my tattoos to make sure I really wanted them. I mean, I have a crush on Patrick Swayze as much as the next straight girl, but...no. Never.
