Weezy may be heading to Rikers Island for a year after his sentencing today, but that's not stopping Birdman from having one heck of a year. In late January, the Cash Money Records founder announced plans to launch Bronald Oil, an independent oil and gas company dedicated to explore and prospect petroleum and natural gas in U.S. Gulf Coast states, Oklahoma, and Central America. Shortly after the announcement, he celebrated by getting an oil well tattooed on the side of his head. The energy venture briefly mesmerized pockets of the blogosphere until Bloomberg questioned Bronald's legitimacy and called the hip hop mogul out. Now a video has surfaced from the rapper/entrepreneur's February birthday bash in the Big Easy. You'll notice that he's covered up the oil pumpjack tattoo with a red star.

A tear drop, a crucifix, a tribute to a fallen friend; to most, these would all be considered acceptable things to tattoo your body. They symbolize something about you. They inform the world of what you are about. Come to think of it, plenty of inmates across the country probably rock all three of those tats in unison. Here's how: First, they did a hatchet job on their buddy after losing to him in an intense game of Dice (enter tear drop), then while incarcerated they find Jesus -- he goes by inmate #48796-054 and he has taught their asshole a valuable lesson (hello crucifix); and finally since they're now a Tim Tebow-loving Christian, they regret killing their friend and want to pay him homage with a bible verse (John 15:12 or even Ecclesiastes 4:9 would be fitting).

Sadly, unlike the felon in our example, not everyone makes quality decisions when it comes to defacing their skin. But if tats are permanent (for the most part), then why do so many ignorant fucks forget to think before they ink? Like the insufferable badass that I run into at the gym each day, is he naive enough to think that tribal sun on his underdeveloped shoulder impresses anyone? Or for every girl who on their 18th birthday thought a tramp stamp would really set them apart. Um, well, I guess it does. So thanks for that, ladies.

I will never completely knock tattoos. I actually have one and I think a lot of them can look sick but there are those that leave people looking like complete and utter fools. And, anyone who knows me knows that I find absolute pleasure in the misfortunes of others, so let's look at some highly regrettable tattoo decisions.  Keep Reading »
