Look, some guy who works somewhere that has a black filing cabinet and a really depressing snap-together gray workspace got a tattoo of that Shintaro Kago cover we ran on the 4-ACO-DMT Issue. That’s pretty great, and it just goes to show you that even if you’ve resigned yourself to wearing that horrible modern bank teller blue button-down shirt and pleated black slacks as you plop down into your corner of misery to crunch numbers, submit reports, and snack on Funyuns from the vending machine (which always seems to be half-empty with Balance bars and Baked Lays, godfuckingdamnit) while mouth-breathing your own farts, you can still totally be your own person and express yourself.

Too bad the quality is fucking shit. In a few years that will all merge together and look like a unicorn threw up on his arm.

Someone replicating an image from somewhere on their arm is self-expression? How little you have to do to express your individualilty these days - pluck an image from somewhere and have it grafted onto your skin. Being an individual has been distilled down to a handful of stylistic trends (tattoos, non-prescription glasses, dodgy tashes)and borrowed lexicon, which is propogated by movements who were once ‘out there’ but have now been subsumed by the general media. Who the fack doesn’t have a tattoo these days?

being yourself by tatooing someone else’s artwork on your arm? On top of that, artwork that appeared on a cover of a lifestyle magazine…..what a dumbass.

He has also taken away the option of short sleeves on casual Friday. You have to pick your battles in the corporate world.

No way I’d ever get a magazine cover on my arm but the tattoo itself is quite impressive.
