Meet the woman with her dead Twilight cat tattooed on her back

Written by Vince Mancini / 01.04.13

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: there’s a woman in Wales with her dead cats tattooed on her back. The cats’ names are Tinky, Woody, Mr Brush, Mr Spock and Bella. While we don’t know with 100 percent certainty that Bella the cat is named after Bella the abstinent vampire lover from Twilight, I’m going to go out on a limb and file this one under “ladies who name their cats after Twilight characters do the darnedest things.” It’s a nice follow-up to the one who had to fight off Renesmee the cat with her husband’s c-pap machine.

Trust me: You’re going to want to see this tattoo.

Fran Bailey, 23, had the puss pictures permanently inked on her skin so can always remember them. Fran said: “I love my cats and I love my tattoo. A lot of people who have lost pets can relate to it.”
Fran took in the cats from animal shelters and cared for her poorly cats at her home in Newtown, in Powys, Mid Wales.
She said: “When I went to the rescue centre I asked for the most ill and unloved cats they had so that they would have somewhere to go.
“That meant the ones I had were ones with feline AIDS so they all died. On average I lost one every two months.”

Well yeah, if you’re adopting AIDS cats, you’re going to need at least six to last you the whole year, everyone knows that. Okay, enough foreplay, let’s see this tattoo with the incredible backstory:

Sick tat, brah (morning links)

Written by Vince Mancini / 08.13.12

Right, because it’s the placement of the tattoo that’s gay. Also, I wouldn’t call this “gay.” All the gay guys I know have much better taste than this. [Lamebook]

Guy gets Rufio tattoo to cover Edward Cullen tattoo

Written by Vince Mancini / 04.17.12

[I put them side by side, but you can see the gif version at Geekologie]

Getting a tattoo of a celebrity or pop culture character is one of the best ideas a person could have, and I’d urge anyone within the sound of my voice to go get one, if you’ve been considering it even a little. You won’t regret it. Though, over the weekend I was in Fresno, and I saw a girl with an angel wing back tattoo that had guns inside the wings, which seemed pretty cool too (true story). Anyway, the tat in the banner picture (it’s a before and after) comes to us by way of our friends at Geekologie, so we’ll let them tell the story:

Per reader Kylie:

OK, so this guy I used to know recently made a deal with his friend that they would choose each other’s tattoos and they would each get theirs while being blindfolded. He took his blindfold off to see this — Edward, from Twilight! Yikes! So later he had it covered up with RUFIOOOO!

RU-FI-YOOOOOO! We miss you, Rufio. I only pray that this isn’t the last time I get to use my “DANTE BASCO” tag.

And I hope that guy wasn’t surprised when he woke up the first time. A true fan would know Edward Cullen’s face by feel alone.

Twilight-Tat-Peter-Facinelli

(full-size version)

Wow.  I don’t know how much farther down Stephenie Meyer’s retarded rabbit hole I want to go, I’m already terrified of what I’ve found.  What’s this, you ask?  Why, it’s a tattoo of Peter Facinelli’s signature, of course.  On the calf (I think?) of a fan identified only as “Megan.”  You see, though Facinelli will always be Mike Dexter in Can’t Hardly Wait to you and me (Aman-duhhhh!), he also plays “Dr. Carlisle Cullen” in Twilight, part of Stephenie Meyer’s ridiculous name brigade that eventually reaches its zenith with the baby “Renesmee.”

Look, I can understand being a huge Twilight fan (okay, I can’t, but just go with it for the sake of argument), but this guy’s not even a major character.  See, I like The Big Lebowski. But if I were to get a Big Lebowski tattoo, it probably wouldn’t be a portrait of Philip Seymour Hoffman as Brandt. You see, because that would be retarded.  But time out, does your mind have its pants down yet?  Because it’s about to get blown.  Megan here?  She’s not the only one.

Twilight-tattoo2

Yep, those are teeth-marks that say “Dr. Cullen.”  On Twihard Trina Gonzalez’ neck.  Holy sh*t, I would love to be a fly on the wall as Trina explains this tattoo to her grandkids in 30 years.  And by “grandkids,” I of course mean “30 cats.”
