After I realized it was a viral marketing hoax it all started making sense... Total fake. If it was real they would have had a sterile environment for his head to lay on and they would have had to shave his face, eyebrows and sideburns.
Oh there are soooo many bad ones, but if your belly button is an integral component of your tattoo it's not gonna be pretty...
I've seen one of Jesus giving a ball-gagged Jesus the business from behind in a book of stupid tattoos. That one was epic. I don't want to link to it because it's definitely NSFW (There's also a reacharound involved. Jesus is very giving...)
I've always thought Christian rhetoric has some very heavy homosexual undertones... "do you love Jesus? Jesus loves you... get on your knees and pray..." And then you've got the priest / choir boy thing whom the church goes to great lengths to protect... priests have always creeped me out... and jesus was black/ middle eastern by all historic accounts but what ever... it all makes as much sense as a tattoo of a ball-gagged jesus getting the reach-around from jesus...
About 20 years ago I was involved in a bad Mountain bike accident . A friend of mine and myself were riding back down a mountain in Northern California . We were jumping these water bars side by side and I really launched off one and went down in front of my friend. He ended up running right over my stomach. It immediately started to swell up and turn purple from internal bleeding . We got back on our bikes and I made the most excruciatingly painful ride of my life, half blinded by tears back to the truck where I quickly passed out. Many hours later I woke up in the hospital and learned I underwent an exploratory surgery to fix some internal damage. Needless to say it left a scar about 9 inches . After a few years of never ending questions every time I had my shirt off I decided to get a tattoo to cover the scar up. It took about six months of thought to come up with a design that was meaningful to me that I could live a lifetime with. It is now 20 years later and I have never regretted the tattoo at all. The scar was so ugly and attracted so much attention in comparison to the tattoo. All I can say is my tattoo brought me happiness when I was unhappy with what I saw in the mirror .
It sure did. You really can not see the scar unless you are very,very close . I can tell ya Tattoos on a scar on your stomach = pain ! but very much worth it! I will try and post a picture soon.
