Tatoo artists in the US have been doing pigs since it became popular in the 70's.

Soooo many jokes. So little time.

They're pigs. They're not good for much else.
Posted by: Elon@Rice | June 27, 2008 at 11:07 AM
Butt...will it be safe to eat tattooed bacon?
Posted by: Siouxie | June 27, 2008 at 11:08 AM
Okay, I have a small tattoo of my son's name in white on my wrist, and that freakin' HURT! It's one thing to choose a tattoo, another thing entirely to inflict that on an animal. That story ticks me smooth off.
And elon? They're good for breakfast. Yum.

Bacon at that guys house is got to be pretty disturbing.
Posted by: Steve (The 24 Guy) | June 27, 2008 at 11:12 AM
Not so much yum in my culture, Bali. That was kind of what I was hinting at.
Posted by: Elon@Rice | June 27, 2008 at 11:17 AM
This little piggy went to market.
This little piggy stayed home.
This little piggy had roast beef.
This little piggy had none.
And this little piggy went wee, wee, wee
all the way home, 'cause the tattoo hurt like he||!

There's something way too creepy and anthropomorphic about those pigs.
Posted by: Cat R | June 27, 2008 at 11:24 AM
If they were real pigs they'd have a tramp-stamp above their butts.
Posted by: Layzeeboy | June 27, 2008 at 11:30 AM
Oh yeah Elon. Sorry.
More for me!
Posted by: baligurl | June 27, 2008 at 11:31 AM
That pig with a swine tat...
I bet she's easy.
Posted by: Erb's point | June 27, 2008 at 11:33 AM
Layzee,
You beat me to the punchline
Posted by: Erb's point | June 27, 2008 at 11:34 AM
HEY bali!! don't hog all the bacon!
Posted by: Siouxie | June 27, 2008 at 11:36 AM
why go to china? i see tattoo'd pigs at the neighborhood bar every saturday.
(i believe pigs have some tough hide. may not have hurt near as much as with a human's tender flesh and, we do brand cattle and horsies)

Definition #3 on dictionary.com for swine (noun)
a coarse, gross, or brutishly sensual person
(Of course I will now refer to myself as brutishly sensual)
Posted by: Erb's point | June 27, 2008 at 11:53 AM
I feel better already
Posted by: Brutish | June 27, 2008 at 11:54 AM
I'll share, Siouxie. In fact, I'm having pork chops for lunch, come on down!
Posted by: baligurl | June 27, 2008 at 11:57 AM
Poor piggies. They didn't ask for such abuse of having tacky tatoos! Look at that sweet face on that first piggy. It looks like it's smiling.
Posted by: Margaritaville | June 27, 2008 at 12:00 PM
Soon all the punk pigs will be getting this tattoo.
Posted by: JayP | June 27, 2008 at 12:03 PM
Interesting that one of the tats seems to be of Mr. Clean and his intestines, with Mr. Wim Delv0yes' signature done in the manner of Walt D!sney's. (Check out the W and D vs. this).
Another tat is of the Little Merm@id and Seb@stian, again with the Walt D. stylized signature.

What's next? Thongs? Speedos? Breast implants?
Posted by: Ednausean | June 27, 2008 at 12:06 PM
Whoa, Ed, implants are gonna be pricey.
Posted by: baligurl | June 27, 2008 at 12:11 PM
Think any of them have "Men-on-the-wing" tatoos?
Posted by: Kibby F5™ | June 27, 2008 at 12:14 PM
PETA nothin' compared to an angry Mom'.

Homer??
Posted by: Siouxie | June 27, 2008 at 12:41 PM
'Odysseus then you are, o great contender,
of whom the glittering god with the golden wand
spoke to me ever, and foretold
the black swift ship would carry you from Troy.
Put up your weapon in the sheath. We two
shall mingle and make love upon our bed.
So mutual trust may come of play and love.'
Posted by: Homer (the Greek One) | June 27, 2008 at 02:22 PM
not tonight dear Homer, I have a headache.
Posted by: circe | June 27, 2008 at 02:44 PM
I suggest you go wander about for a little while to get your mind off it, H.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | June 27, 2008 at 02:54 PM
Homer's dilemma.
Posted by: Cat R | June 27, 2008 at 02:55 PM
Now I feel so lonely...rejected again.
Posted by: Homer (the Alaska One) | June 27, 2008 at 03:18 PM
Anybody up for some snap the whip action?
Posted by: Homer (the Winslow One) | June 27, 2008 at 03:26 PM
This guy's such a ham!
Posted by: frodolives | June 27, 2008 at 03:31 PM
Those are the cleanest pigs I've ever seen... If it gets them special treatment, who are we to stop him?
Posted by: eilbeback | June 27, 2008 at 04:30 PM
What the hell is the big deal?? Any time I go to a bike night you see a group of people hanging around their Hogs, and tattoos are everywhere.
Posted by: MartiniShark | June 27, 2008 at 08:15 PM
"Wim Delvoye" anagrams to "O my, we viled"... jus' sayin'
