Now that you’ve properly acclimated yourself, (taken by MPS’ own Sarah Spain at Wrigley Field yesterday), I would ask you: “What about said tat makes it even slightly less reprehensible than the chain and backwards hat that are accompanying it?”

And your answer would be … MEH? Exactly. That’s because, as far as I can tell, this is simply a tattoo of Wrigley Field gone horribly, horribly wrong. Note that the “CUBS WIN!” on the LED screen is complete, as is the sign that stands out front of Wrigley. Those parts are actually pretty cool (if you like tats anyway).

He started getting the tattoo done after a day game, obviously, and when he came-to, he realized he’d been jabbed with a needle 4,542 times already and that his back was in horrifying pain.
