Arkie Tattoos/thrifing fun

PART ONE:
Everytime I go out, it seems, I see another person with an Arkansas-themed tattoo. Now I don't know if this happens in other states (I'm sure it does, because I've seen at least 2 wayward Texas tats here in LR) but it seems to happen A LOT in Arkansas. I had no idea that state pride was such a hip statement, but most of my life, I was given grief for being from Arkansas (I was an Air Force brat) so it's quite lovely to see so many of my bretheran proudly displaying their Arkie pride.

THE POINT: I am collecting photos of Arkansas tattoos. Here are my first two.


I think this was the very first Arkie tattoo to which I was exposed. It's on the arm of Ben Nichols, who plays with Lucero.


This Little Rock Skyline tattoo is on the arm of my friend and coworker Cash. He hooks me up wtih PPR sometimes.


PART TWO:
As I mentioned in my previous post, Brittany and I went thrifting the other day. One of the best things about thrifting is the absolutely hideous gems of clothing, just waiting there to be mocked.

I constantly wonder why metallic vinyl outfits never became a fashion staple.


I'm pretty sure Kid and/or Play wore this shirt in one of the House Party movies.

  2. Hey I stumbled across your blog while searching for other people with Arkansas tattoos. I have one on my left ankle, it's just an outline of the state however.
