Classy, thy name is tooth-art
This body modification trend* is in direct competition with face-tattoos, really-big-muscles and objectivism for the #1 position in my “Trying Super Hard to Seem Badass But Instead Making Meredith Giggle Uncontrollably”** list.
Behold! Tooth Tattoos:

(the laughing + teeth theme reminded me of the dental hyenist of my long lost animal-abecedarium project.)
*probably not a trend at all.
**with one exception, the amy winehouse tooth is legitimately frightening:



i, for one, find myself most intrigued/disturbed/tickled by the irony of the david letterman one.
catlady - this is why I <3 you.
i really don’t know how on earth you found something like this.
all i know is that i’d like to get the amy winehouse one before my next dental appointment.
in two weeks.
I like how the only tooth tattoo that is in color is the rooster. As if someone said, “Black and white really won’t give this proud rooster tooth justice”.
wtf.
“Black and white really won’t give this proud rooster tooth justice”. is my new favorite sentence in the history of sentences, thankyou my little brother.
des - I’m right there wtf-ing with you, m’dear.
So what are the two in the back for? The ones with nothing on them? Or do they have TEETH TATTOOED ON THEIR TEETH?!?!
I just blew my own mind.
mace: my longest lasting, and yet possibly least funny, joke ever is that I have a tattoo of my FACE ON my face.
in the library a couple weeks ago the kids were talking about tattoos (since one of them had drawn a checker/chessboard on his *entire left hand and wrist* with a sharpie and was saying he was probably going to get it done permanently); i had to suggest, per your hilarious joke, that the coolest tattoo ever would be “a tattoo of your face ON YOUR FACE.” they loved this. and thus thank you for scoring me major points, miles.
OMG, this just inspired me to have the following genius idea: EXTRACTED WISDOM TOOTH SCRIMSHAW! Who’s going to carve my pearly whites? I have them in a small plastic treasure chest.
