Spongeflop Nopants is that you?
 
I sadly don't have photograph of this, this is an unironic real life encounter. This was back when I got my first tattoo, chick across the room from me was getting a tattoo of Ariel from the little mermaid but as a lego character, full colour.
 
I'm not a practitioner myself, but aren't those some Jewish/Hebrew characters? Like, Alef (א), Lamed (ל), Gimel (ב), etc.?

Isn't TPUSA kinda white supremacist?
No, and Charlie Kirk was frequently criticized by far right guys for being too pro-Israel and generally milquetoast.

Did you take those trannies calling him Hitler on Twitter seriously? Those guys will call you a Nazi for saying women don't have penises.

There's another classic trashy tattoo magnet: Tweety Bird.

I also found this one that had a bizarre screed attached to it:
tweety22.webp
Tweety Bird, whose gender was intentionally ambiguous in the original Looney Tunes cartoons, is one of the first and only examples of a non-binary character in mainstream media that I really relate to. I even have them tattooed on my arm with the word ‘LADETTE’ (see below).

I love how Tweety’s persona has continued to develop outside of the cartoon narrative in memes, one of my favourite being the one above, although I can’t find the original creator to credit them. Does anyone know?

In the cartoon, Tweety survives constant harassment and attacks from Sylvester the cat, all while being a physically small and sometimes unassuming creature, although a crafty and clever side is suggested. Proof that it takes more than hyperable physiques to survive the energy vampires of this world. Looney Tunes played with the ambiguity and fluidity of gender with many of their characters and it was never targeted at a specific gender audience which I think is unusual for a lot of children’s mainstream entertainment.

Vital Capacities: Tweety Bird (Archive)

This is curious on a couple of levels. For one, Tweety has always been officially male, with his original naked design having a male name (Orson) and consistently referred to as a he in every cartoon. The only people that say otherwise are the intellectually lazy people that assume that every cartoon with eyelashes is a girl, and the insufferable queer theorists that declare characters trans for no reason and throw a tantrum when you disagree.

For two, why try to LARP as chavette by getting a gangsta Tweety tattoo, only to talk about it like the out of touch intellectual imaginable? Why not just get "I AM AN INSUFFERABLE HIPSTER" tattooed on your arm instead?

Laura Lulika is a they/them munchie "artist".

Laura is a Leeds based artist working and living through queer crip sick and neurodivergent strategies of survival. Using video, sound, writing and performance, their practice explores care, labour, sickness, dirt and performativity in the everyday: Their work is driven by the rhythms, movement, and rituals within daily activity. Laura often collaborates with others including their partner and carer, Hang Linton, looking at accessibility from various perspectives and striving to work in interdependent formats which reflect the care needs of everyone involved.

Active in local irl community, as well as url support groups, Laura mods an online chat room called Softer Space and previously was an initiating member of Sickness Affinity Group.

Laura is the parent of a toddler and has extensive experience organising and facilitating workshops and open making sessions with children of different ages, as well as with adults.

As you could guess from her being a 'queer artist', she's a straight woman. She used to be part of a musical act with her manservant husband life partner and primary carer Alex 'Hang' Linton (Archive). They called themselves Baby Punk + Dr. Babuyoka, and did a performance where he dressed up as an unga-bunga witch doctor and she went around drinking out of bedpans and simulating (I hope) pissing out of a catheter.

It was an act in something called a Dirty Debut (Archive), an art show that had a special theme of piss fetishes that season, because what else would you expect from Germans?
The stage is open for unfinished, skit-like, and also dirty performances: set to pre-defined themes, four times a year Dirty Debüt presents artists who are flying under the radar of most Berlin venues and audiences. Regardless of whether performance, theater, body art or mixed mediums of dance and contemporary art – independence and individuality call the shots. A feedback session with experts and the audience over dinner caps off the evening. The theme for May is simple: urine.

The first edition will include:

Noam BrusilovskyParuresis
Laura Genevieve Jones + Alex LintonBaby Punk ft. Dr. Babuyoka
Janne Nora Kummer + Fee Römer + Marilena Büld #20 Shades of Yellow
Emmilou RößlingLiquid Marble

Then in 2018, she claimed that she lost her voice and regained her voice by watching the Real Housewives. She uses this as an excuse to make a shitty meme video and putting it an installation with bedpans (I'm sensing a theme here) full of wine.

Preservetube
An autobiographical work which deals with voice-loss due to chronic illness. After losing their voice for over a year due to a combination of health issues, the artist received vocal therapy however, they found that watching The Real Housewives while housebound is what really helped them regain their voice and agency. The work celebrates The Real Housewives franchises as a rare example in popular culture where women's voices are prioritised, while at the same time questioning the privilege these women hold and therefore the healthcare they have access to in comparison to many of the viewers. It draws on GIF reaction culture and the thriving online crip community and features questions the artist was asked by their vocal therapist.

She was obviously delighted when Covid rolled around and made munching more popular: laura11.webp
Inflammations (Pandemic Edition) copes with chronic pain and the way it affects bodies as they engage in work and pleasure. The video performance made by a mixed team of artists identifying as disabled, able-bodied, deaf, neurodiverse and trans problematises the boundaries between wellbeing and sickness, medical authority and felt experience. While recognising chronic pain as a form of disability it further speculates about fatigue as a possible persistent condition affecting many of us in the (post-)pandemic reality.< The video attempts to take accessibility into consideration. It is performed in spoken English and German Sign Language. Difference or disability invisible on the outside is approached through language and its ability to stab, stiffen and inflame, as well as, to relieve, care and cure. Word games, repetitions and instructions function as spells for breaking the cycle of suffering and invisibility.

Body Builder (Archive)
Laura Lulika’s new work, Body Builder, was co-commissioned by Film London Artists’ Moving Image Network, which includes moving image, music, spoken word, performance and collage. Over the course of the residency, Lulika explored hyperability, mascot bodies, the false binary of healthy/unhealthy, and the absurdity of footballer’s fake foul dives. Lulika has created an interactive collage, combining Frankenstein mascots, pub settings and automobile bodies all with their own tales to investigate.

Laura constantly talks about being being "working class", putting superficial references to chav culture and having exhibitions flat out called“Don’t Worry I’m Sick and Poor” (Archive).
Based in Leeds, UK, Laura Lulika is an artist whose experiences of being a disabled queer neurodivergent and working-class parent shapes their creative practice. When released from periods of being bed/house-bound, Lulika can usually be found sat on their stoop or gardening in their front yard, developing their medicinal garden, often surrounded by several curious neighbourhood kids.

Tracing wiggly lines from ancient to contemporary storytelling methods is the main thread of interest that runs through all of Lulika’s experiments. Speculative narratives grow from the absurd or everyday, allowing the work to expand on lived experiences of medical mysticism, sick deities and rural counterculture.

Using whatever materials they can get their hands on, scrap, natural or digital, Lulika enjoys making from what is readily available with a conscious consideration for the environmental need for degrowth, as well as limiting material toxins for personal access reasons.

But it doesn't quite gel with her background:
laura0.webp
"YONABOUT what are you on about? // Laura Genevieve Jones: Originally born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and having grown up in America and England, Laura now lives and works in Berlin, Germany. Inspired by her dance and performance background, she works with video and space, exploring habitual movement and every day patterns and sensations: the extraordinary within the ordinary. Although she doesn't choreograph in a traditional sense, her work highlights choreography and patterns which occur constantly, spontaneously and subconsciously. She invites an alternative perspective on seemingly banal situations and objects, promoting a haptic and sometimes erotic response in the viewer. Her work has been shown in Berlin, Madrid and London."

Born in South Africa, traveled between America and England as a kid, spent 6 years getting degrees in dance and video? There's no way she wasn't getting supported by the bank of Mom and Dad.

And now, the British Taxpayer:

If you are British, there is a non-zero chance that you have funded this woman's galleries of "gif reaction culture".

I guess I got a little off-topic, but I couldn't resist the chance to say lmao, get a look at this loser.

She will never have as much soul or artistic taste as a cholo getting a gangster cartoon tattoo.

No, it's not the catboy ranch lmao.

If anything a lot of the Nazbol types hated Kirk for being too pro-jew. TPUSA is basically just the the youth outreach arm of the mainstream non-boomer Republican voterbase.

Honestly? That last one isn't too bad. At least it's fairly clean and actually looks like the guy it's supposed to be.

Aw, that could be cute if she worked at Legoland or something.
 
When it comes to certain tattoos, I've noticed that certain cliques seem to have a monopoly on certain cartoon characters.

Disney in general: white trash/Disney adults
Tinkerbell: white trash women
Looney tunes: niggers, ratchets, urban
Tweety: ghetto women
Betty Boop: Latinas, especially the trashier variety.

Everything else seems to be fair game for everyone.
