Mike, who plays guitar for The Seventh Gate and Call The Paramedics says of his Nazi unicorn tattoo by Painless J at Marlowe Ink in Fairfax, Virginia, “only the whites get angry, hah… funny how that works?”
Continue reading for his other, equally questionable tattoos.
The piece above (also by Painless J) is brilliant I think… The piece below? Not so sure… last time I posted gender bending shit eating on BME it didn’t go so well.
Both of these transsexual pieces (with apologies to any transsexuals reading this) were done by Eric Doyle of Jinx Proof Tattoo in Washington DC. I’m sure he’s thrilled to be credited, haha…
Edit/Update: Thanks to cuntcumber for reminding me I needed to include Mike’s knee tattoo as well:

oh crap, holy fuck..this guy is twisted…good job!!
SeanyBwoy on March 18th, 2008 at 7:50 pmDamn those are some mighty fine crazy tattoo!
Dylan on March 18th, 2008 at 7:54 pmThe trouble is… the art is cool but the concept isn’t. Make sense? The unicorn is really pretty but the meaning behind it is ugly.
Vicky on March 18th, 2008 at 7:55 pmThat is simultaneously both the best unicorn tattoo and the best white power tattoo ever put to epidermis. Mike, I salute you!
Marshall on March 18th, 2008 at 7:55 pmkudos on the nutsack stretch over the whole package.
bc on March 18th, 2008 at 7:56 pmHahahahahaha on Vicky.
Shannon on March 18th, 2008 at 7:57 pmThose are amazing. The last two aren’t my thing, but I would proudly wear the first two (well, proudly wear the first in the right company).
cuntcumber on March 18th, 2008 at 8:05 pm(p.s. and not in a white-power way, vicky)
cuntcumber on March 18th, 2008 at 8:05 pmI do rather enjoy the man eating his own leg.
meg on March 18th, 2008 at 8:37 pmmike you’ve upgraded from youtube! hahah see you friday
kujoton on March 18th, 2008 at 8:38 pmHey, Marlowe Ink! I’ve gotten pierced there but never tattooed there.
Meredith on March 18th, 2008 at 8:43 pmnot so sure of the meaning of the unicorn…is it because neo-nazis are sort of against gays or am I missing the point completely!?
albert on March 18th, 2008 at 8:54 pmpoor confused godzilla lol
Warren Hiller on March 18th, 2008 at 8:56 pmfucking awesome. this made me so happy.
JohnBlake on March 18th, 2008 at 9:05 pmAlbert: My first glance at it (via a thumbnail on my Opera speed dial) I thought it was a gay pride tattoo. It wasn’t till I saw it full size that I was like “…oh.”
Vicky on March 18th, 2008 at 9:11 pm“only the whites get angry, hah… funny how that works?”
fuus on March 18th, 2008 at 9:16 pmHa. Ha. Ha. Yeah. Pretty fucking hilarious, mate. Aren’t you just a comedy genius. Ain’t nothing funnier than racism.
Wow. Its funny how the joke goes right over the liberal asses heads…
cere on March 18th, 2008 at 9:19 pmI can’t stop laughing that people actually think that’s a real white power tattoo. Makes the joke even better.
Shannon on March 18th, 2008 at 9:24 pmThe fact that they’re missing the point would be funny, but only if it weren’t so sad.
cuntcumber on March 18th, 2008 at 9:28 pmi still don’t get the unicorn tattoo, maybe I am just a little slow. anyone care to explain it too me?
didj on March 18th, 2008 at 9:29 pmw-w-w-w-wonk
max on March 18th, 2008 at 9:31 pmTHE UNICORN TATTOO IS MEANT TO PISS OFF WHITE SUPREMACISTS. It is not a white power tattoo. It is ironic.
cuntcumber on March 18th, 2008 at 9:45 pmhahah, that’s my boyfriend.
it’s just a joke, guys. it’s funny. there’s not much to get.
(also, he IS a comedy genius.)
lauren_elizabeth on March 18th, 2008 at 9:47 pmI think the fact that it’s on his ass says something about what he means by it…
lexy on March 18th, 2008 at 9:47 pmWOAH WOAH WOAH.
Shannon — did you really not include this tattoo of Mike’s?!?!?!?!
cuntcumber on March 18th, 2008 at 9:48 pmhttp://iampix.bmezine.com/q/b/mfko23/mcoxrpbs.jpg
I had a semi running joke for a while about going into a white supremest tattoo shop and asking to have some unicorn flash done. It’s interesting and really amusing to me that someone else thought of the idea!!!
Venomous Intellect on March 18th, 2008 at 9:57 pm#23 lol, its a bum knee hehe, I agree that the unicorn is meant to poke fun at white supremacists and if that is indeed the context I find it quite amusing, I am curious though what is the tattoo on his other shin that cucumber posted the link for, it says “feed me a stray _______” stray what? or should I not want to know the answer?
E-Rich on March 18th, 2008 at 10:06 pmit says “feed me a stray cat” which is a quote from american psycho.
FetusFajitas666 on March 18th, 2008 at 10:20 pmI see no evidence of anyone not “getting the joke”. I’m well aware the wearer isn’t a neo-nazi and finds this really funny. I just fucking hate that kind of humour. I sincerely hope mine and Cere’s paths don’t ever cross.
fuus on March 18th, 2008 at 10:21 pmIt’s “feed me a stray cat.”
Katze on March 18th, 2008 at 10:21 pmha ha Mike seems like a cool guy
kidd on March 18th, 2008 at 10:30 pmYay irony. Kill the nazi band and “white power” on the unicorn and you have the makings of a really pretty tattoo though, without the humorous meaning behind it.
kwaniesiam on March 18th, 2008 at 10:38 pmThey are certainly some touchy subject matter, and some of them are not HORRIBLE work.
demoiselle on March 18th, 2008 at 10:42 pmHowever, I must say; how juvenile.
I WANT TO MARRY THIS MAN.
Neon on March 18th, 2008 at 10:51 pmholy fuck modblog is hilarious today, between this and the shit people are saying about the zombie interview, i’m laughing so much i can’t do my homework. are you posting today shannon just to hear people say dumb shit?
mucus marcus on March 18th, 2008 at 10:51 pmdo the haters in here have nothing better to worry about than a gay racist unicorn?
Aaron on March 18th, 2008 at 10:59 pmNazi, white power assholes SO need to be made fun of relentlessly, because really, they deserve it. Great tattoo, some people REALLY need a sense of humor though…
Eyeball_Kid on March 18th, 2008 at 11:11 pmcheeky…
curiousgirl on March 18th, 2008 at 11:31 pm#24: Much like walking into Paul Booth’s or Bob Tyrell’s shops and requesting that they do a nice vibrant and colorful “My Little Pony” tattoo or “Care Bear’s” tattoo. lol
Warren Hiller on March 18th, 2008 at 11:35 pmalso…i believe it was the Dave Chappelle show that did a skit on Gay Racists, right?
Where the dude rolls up in a pink sheet and politely asks the african-american family to move and leave the area lol
Warren Hiller on March 18th, 2008 at 11:37 pmthe tattoo on his knee is hilarious lol.
jason on March 18th, 2008 at 11:44 pmWhat is the irony(or joke) in the Unicorn tattoo? I don’t get it.
Sorry if it lets out your stupendous inside joke.
Ben on March 19th, 2008 at 12:20 amis the shit-eating transsexual supposed to be a Hel look alike?
Looks a lot like the Norse Goddess, well, paintings of her…
Kenevin on March 19th, 2008 at 12:26 amCharlie-Manson-cuntboy invokes the lulz just for it’s strange and peculiar nature…I mean, they both appear to be on his calves so total “WTFlol.” reaction.
But I gotta love the one-upped Gorjira and extra-bad unicorn.
Am I the only one who thinks the rainbow needs to be extended?
Adrian on March 19th, 2008 at 12:36 amSometimes Hitler can be cute I guess…
looks like he’s planning to eradicate the juice.
IAM CupCake on March 19th, 2008 at 12:48 amhey my picture didn’t show up! lame. fail.
IAM CupCake on March 19th, 2008 at 12:49 amdas mah boifri3ndz
lauren_elizabeth on March 19th, 2008 at 2:58 amBest thing about the white power tat is that it is on his arse.
everythingandnothing on March 19th, 2008 at 3:30 amFEED ME A STRAY CAT!
ha…
Rob on March 19th, 2008 at 4:00 amLove the Nazi Unicorn tattoo. I imagine natural stupid Nazi folks loving it before someone explains the rainbows and the unicorn to them. Great!
MissJanet on March 19th, 2008 at 4:25 amhahaha
pawnbroker on March 19th, 2008 at 5:03 ammade my day
Well if you really want to get into it and take it legit, what exactly is so wrong with someone having a different political affiliation or racial pride?
cere on March 19th, 2008 at 5:08 amThere’s nothing wrong with racial pride, it’s when you take it extreme and it turns into a philosophy that preaches hate instead of just pride. White pride is admirable, white power/supremacy is deplorable. But that’s just my opinion…lol
WikiFiend64 on March 19th, 2008 at 5:37 amhey… what’s gay about unicorns? i don’t get it. ;o)
patty on March 19th, 2008 at 6:18 amNazis and white supremacists need to be made fun of, not because they are easy targets (althought they are), but because it’s a way of marginalizing their views. The visual language of the tattoo is being used in an ironic, post-modern way to break down they hate-mongering and make it a subject for ridicule, instead of something to be taken seriously. I think riducule and dismissal is the only appropriate reaction to views like this that are actively damaging to society as a whole.
The amusement factor is a side benefit.
SM-G on March 19th, 2008 at 6:18 amoh and by the way… that’s a pretty nice ass.
patty on March 19th, 2008 at 6:19 amHaha, what marvelous tattoos :]
Caspar on March 19th, 2008 at 6:40 amI love when people use the term “post-modern,” especially when I’m damn sure they have no idea what it means.
That being said, I’ve got nothing against the first tattoo, but his comment about how “only white guys get offended” makes me wonder if he, indeed, has many non-Christian, non-white acquaintances. Try flashing that around a synagogue—are many people going to laugh before he has to go into his protracted “post-modern” explanation?
Katie on March 19th, 2008 at 7:02 amGodzilla penis scene, my head is screaming with laughter.
Elizabeth on March 19th, 2008 at 7:06 amHahahaha oh man some of those tattoos are EPIC
VOMIT on March 19th, 2008 at 8:03 amHaha these are awesome. I also like the way he covered his junk with his scrotum :P
Frester on March 19th, 2008 at 8:26 amhahahahaha
toothpaste on March 19th, 2008 at 8:27 amIt’s funny, but I myself wouldn’t want to have the text “white power” on my body - regardless of the context.
Bas on March 19th, 2008 at 9:09 amI can totally imagine a gang of neo-nazis bent over this guy and discussing whether they should beat him up or respect him. Needless to say, the guy has cojones.
Martin on March 19th, 2008 at 9:12 amAmazing! LOL!
Dennis on March 19th, 2008 at 10:26 am[...] Best White Power Tattoo Ever. [...]
anthro.pophago.us snippets of media, anthropology, design, culture and politics. on March 19th, 2008 at 10:40 amAwesome sack stretch. Perfectly executed.
Escapist on March 19th, 2008 at 12:28 pmFirst to pieces are so sick, haha!
hahahahahahahaha I love it!!!
meaghan on March 19th, 2008 at 2:53 pmI thought this was horrible until I got the joke. XD
Not anything I would have on myself, but major cool points to this guy!
I just hope more people get the funny side and don’t go around thinking he is a nazi.
TheLexPest on March 19th, 2008 at 2:53 pmGetting the joke aside, that is one buff unicorn.
R on March 19th, 2008 at 3:20 pmGay nazi tattoo (ROFL). but ok…. a couple of month ago, Isreal’s security found a jewish nazi gang (!!!!) and they were chrisching Hitler, not exactly realizing, that hey would have ended up tortured and very dead in his regime.
Stormchaser on March 19th, 2008 at 3:24 pmSo there is no real bottom of low intelligence level in that scene. Now the proud gay - nazi… he - as wall - wouldn’t had good times in “his” regime (ROFL), but below a minimal IQ…
If it’s ment only satiric…. yea good one. (would need to know the person behind)
Stormchaser on March 19th, 2008 at 3:25 pmI’m probably stupid but I totally don’t get the tattoo of the hermaphrodite covered in blood and feces. I find it beautiful in a repulsive kind of way, but I have no idea of what it’s supposed to mean. Anybody care to explain?
plonkette on March 19th, 2008 at 7:46 pmgood night , white pride!!!
clerks_pride on March 19th, 2008 at 11:19 pmplonkette - I don’t think there’s anything to get, it is what it is. :)
Leroy on March 20th, 2008 at 12:19 amI’m such a perve..my first thought?? Now that’s a gorgeous arse that I’d spank in a heartbeat!! Then I noticed the tattoo..I think I must need a good rodgering…lol
Glynnavyre on March 20th, 2008 at 12:40 amhaha! those tattoos are genius.
miss lulu on March 20th, 2008 at 3:34 amYou know who ELSE liked unicorns…
Allahkat on March 20th, 2008 at 6:28 amso the unicorn has something to do with gays? still kinda offensive
James on March 20th, 2008 at 9:23 amHats off the the guy for the best lulz of the dya. Boo to those BAWWWING bleeding hearts who are tough on lulz, and the causes of lulz.
Andy on March 20th, 2008 at 12:13 pmMike, pardon me if I’m speaking too much for you. He’s just an asshole (not in a bad way), and he obviously got exactly what he wanted out of the tattoo: to piss people off for, basically, no reason.
omglolzroflmao on March 20th, 2008 at 2:57 pm[...] Jason’s unicorn shitting a rainbow tattoo is an excellent follow-up to the white-power unicorn. [...]
ModBlog - NAH HE DIDN’T! - Body modification and ritual blog sponsored by BMEzine.com on March 20th, 2008 at 5:09 pmI don’t get tat #2 at all. Whuz?
TrinityVA on March 20th, 2008 at 6:29 pmHas anyone noticed that the ‘t’ in the word ‘white’ in the first tattoo, looks a little like a funky pound sign ‘£’?
The Beni on March 20th, 2008 at 6:51 pmKatie:
Are you referring to the post-structuralist postmodern, or the neoconservative postmodern? They both ended up with much the same result, although the post-structuralist ideal worked out better than the neo-conservative. (Irony: the neo-con movement of the time wanted to return to classical ideals in painting, namely realism and figuration, but ended up creating a new movement, because they deprived the images of context.)
Post-modernism as we currently understand it mixes various themes/styles, usually decontextualizing the elements that are mixed, and are often tinged with irony.
I like to think that, since I’m working on a BFA right now, that I have a least a *little* idea of what some of the major art movements of the 20th century were/are… :P
SM-G on March 20th, 2008 at 8:55 pmat first i started to get confused because i asked myself, “why the hell would a hardcore racist put a unicorn of all things,” but then it clicked on several different levels and i giggled to contentment:)
one of lines- of- thought that crossed my mind was what if some jackass really thought this was hardcore and got a unicorn tattooed on him, then i thought about the power rangers and started laughing again.

extremehard on March 21st, 2008 at 10:01 amNazis sind die ewig gestrigen und dümmsten Wesen auf dieser Welt.
Und Vorsicht auch bei Satire, die kann oft auch falsch verstanden
werden. Ich kann in diesem Fall Satire nur akzeptieren wenn damit
klar gemacht wird wie dumm sie sind und wenn sie damit lächerlich
gemacht werden können.
All I have to offer is a nice big “WOW”
BettieCracker on March 21st, 2008 at 11:43 amThis reminded of Artie Lange’s Idea of a bumper sticker that is offensive to everyone. “I love niggers”. It is a phrase that is pretty sure to offend anyone from racists (because of the I love part)and non racists (because the n word is a disgusting word.)
Shean5150 on March 21st, 2008 at 2:18 pmwhat the fuck happened to his dick? is it a mod or am I just missing something?
Emile on March 21st, 2008 at 6:19 pmWhat is more immoral than war?
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
John Stuart Mill
Judging by your fear of reality, I am sure you don’t know who John Stuart Mill is. He was a writer and poet during the American Civil war. A war during which hundreds of thousands of Americans gave their lives to fight slavery, an institution I would argue is more immoral than war. But I bet your ugly ass wouldn’t grasp that based on that white power crap you have tatooed on it. I hope you die of hepatitis soon. (but not so soon that you don’t go through the requisite amount of suffering.)
Fuku freaks on March 22nd, 2008 at 12:32 amBy the way, there is no valid interpretation for meaningless stupidity. I should back off however, you are the one stuck with that on your skin for the rest of your life.
Fuku freaks on March 22nd, 2008 at 12:36 amAm I the only one to think that a white power tattoo CAN’T be “cool”? I am quite shocked at that posting, not to mention the number of mindless comments on how funky the whole thing is.
vegenero on March 22nd, 2008 at 5:51 amBist dus chwul oder wat?
Du mit deinen Regenbogenfarben oder hasse Weichspüler getrunken, bestimmt noch dazu extra flauschig!

Chris on March 22nd, 2008 at 11:10 amman, all i can say is that rocks. and i would totally stay up with this guy till four in the morning arguing over the toaster oven while plastered on night train and smoking fancy cigars with wagner playing in the background. yep, that’s how those tattoos make me feel. *grin*
junkyardxdog on March 23rd, 2008 at 1:55 ami love this. i’m super intolerant against intolerance [hypocrite much? i know], and i think this is the best way to “stick it to ‘em”, as it were.
graelston on March 25th, 2008 at 6:28 pmThis is nothing, you should have seen Mike the time he lost a bet over a game of pool and ended up getting analy fisted on the same table he lost the bet on.
