Thom Yorke tattoo perfect except for the giant pink nipple

As hot as Emma Mae might look, tattoos can be a dicey thing. This is particularly true when one commits to having the likeness of an actual living person inked on to one’s flesh.

When done correctly, tattoo portraits are wonderful works of art, a lasting testimony to the skills of the person wielding the needle. When done poorly—as in this infamous “tribute” to a fallen relative—they become viral Internet giggle getters.

Kudos to the person responsible for executing the above portrait of Thom Yorke. It looks exactly like the Radiohead singer, to the point where you’ll initially wonder if you’re staring at a rendering of SCTV’s Jackie Rogers Jr.

And a big thumbs down to the flaming idjit who decided that the best place for this tattoo was his chest, presumably because that gave him the opportunity to make sure that Yorke’s left eye wouldn’t look like an eye at all, but instead a giant pink nipple.

The only way this could have been more disturbing would be if he’d got the tattoo on his ass cheek, with his anus pulling nipple duty.
This guy’s next tattoo is reportedly going to be in his pubic region. It’s going to be of Adrien Brody, with his dink playing the part of Brody’s nose.
