10 Bartenders With The Worst Tattoos
By Jim Goad
1. Chaz, 37 years old
Tattoo: “I’m with stupid.”
Excuse: “I was drunk—a lot drunker than my friends who took me to the tattoo parlor.”
2. Kevin, 24 years old
Tattoo: “Douche”
Excuse: “See, I thought whoever saw it would know that I was saying
they were the douche. But now when people look at it, they think I’m calling myself a douche, which isn’t the case.”
3. Candida, 32 years old
Tattoo: “MOM”
Excuse: “Because I love my mom. And my kids.”
4. L’Tisha, 29 years old
Tattoo: “KKK”
Excuse: “I was sure that everyone would know that it signified ‘Kanye, Kanye, Kanye.’ Boy, was I wrong.”
5. Evanton, 23 years old
Tattoo: “I’M AWSOME”
Excuse: “Yeah, I know I misspelled it. Still, I see no reason there should be an ‘E’ there anyway. It’s what’s known as a ‘silent E.’ Just pretend like you don’t hear it.”
6. Kurt, 29 years old
Tattoo: Swastika
Excuse: “I was at this tattoo parlor in Idaho, and I thought it looked cool. At the time, I didn’t know that Hitler had killed all those people.”
7. Bubbles, 37 years old
Tattoo: “Milk”
Excuse: “I don’t care what anyone says. I think it’s tasteful.”
8. Adirondalina, 28 years old
Tattoo: Che Guevara
Excuse: “C’mon—like you don’t think he’s hot.”
9. Brentley, 26 years old
Tattoo: “CUNT PUNCHER”
Excuse: “It’s not an anti-woman thing. If anything, it proves that I like to please women.”
10. Trixni, 31 years old
Tattoo: “HIV+”
Excuse: “I was trying to say that I support and pray for people with HIV, but obviously something got lost in translation.”
*** DISCLAIMER: ***
The models depicted this piece are real—well, in the sense that they’re models—but they aren’t real bartenders. The tattoos aren’t real, either. Neither are their comments. I made them all up!
