Correction on the Dell tattoo

Okay, so a while back I posted here about really bad logo tattoos. One in particular stood out, a Dell tattoo:

To me, Dell is a kind of lame, nothing-brand-- not one that I thought anybody would be stoked about enough to get it branded on them for life. So I made fun of the dude with the Dell tattoo. He emailed me today:

"i am emailing you. about your post about tattoos, 1 special one tho, the dell tattoo, see that tattoo is actually my tattoo, see my name is Todd Dell, in my life i always got the DUDE YOUR GETTING A DELL. and stuff like that i always laughed it off, so my friend was like dude you should get the LOGO tattoo on you i was like sure, thus knowing i could get away with it, no im not a nerd, i dont even own a dell computer, im actually a mma fighter lol."

So, I take it back. Sorry, Dell guy. You have a sense of humor about your name and you got a tattoo to prove it. You are officially awesome.

Hoot Salad


Drake Vilareal sent in his owl, done by Chris Lowe of Naked Art Tattoos. Its one of many owls we've featured related to knowledge and wisdom. Ironically, owls are actually stupid creatures. The image of the wise owl is nothing but a myth! I blame AA Milne.

Another reader submission, from Sean Sultan. He writes...

"Aloha my name is Sean Sultan. This Owl tattoo is on my right calf. The Owl comes from a restaurant my grandparents owned called The Crystal Owl. My grandma collected owls her whole life along with my mom. When my mom passed away I got this memorial piece as a tribute to her and my grandmas life. The name Komiss underneath it is my moms maiden name. The artist who did it is Tommy Tingle and he did it at Chrome Lotus Tattoo in Lahaina, Maui."

Thanks!
