Speaker 1 (00:00):
People are getting. I don't like the name of it.
I don't like what they're calling it. I think the
name that they've given it is dumb. What do they
call it?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Hold on? Hold on? Oh tatoodles exactly? I hate the name,
so tattoo and doodle toodles.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
It's taking your kid's artwork and getting tattoos made of that.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
That's awesome. I think that's cool. So was this a
big activity yesterday?
Speaker 1 (00:29):
The you know what, I would bet for Father's Day
there was a decent amount, had it. This was a
big tattoo weekend because going back to Friday, you had
all the Friday the thirteenth tattoos, which is a big
date to go get tattoos done.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
But I would bet as this kind of trend emerges, they.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Said that, and it doesn't have to be like, oh,
my kid just drew this for me and now I'm
going to take it in. But they were saying even
like even like I don't know if you said his
name is BJ or CJ the cancer guy, but the
like getting it later in life would be like going
back and finding like.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
A favorite piece of art that they had done.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yeah, Kristin, will you find me somebody that has their
kids and it doesn't have to be just for men.
They said that it is a huge growing trend for
dads to get their kids' artwork done on their bodies,
but women will do it also. But Kristin, will you
see if you can find me somebody who has their
kids' artwork tattoos? I like that a Ton eight six
(01:33):
six to Elliott eight six six two three five five
four six eight.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I think that's pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
So I was picturing like the whole family going to
the parlor yesterday to have this happen. But you're saying
this may be years of move from when they created
or made the artwork.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Yeah, so maybe it's not like what it like what
age the kids start doing like stupid little art projects
from pie?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Yeah, even before preschool, but like where you could tell
what it is.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
As a get into maybe kindergarten.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Okay, so like, yeah, let's say like kindergarten through third
grade right where it still has like that kid look
to it.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
They will go, oh, did I not give the number? Sorry?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Eight six six to Elliott eight six six two three
five five four six eight. Someone who has their kids' artwork? Uh,
tattooed on them. But where So it could be when
they're that age and you take a picture immediately and
take it in and go, I want to get this done.
I've been thinking about getting a tattoo they made a
picture of I.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Don't know what a kid's make a get age exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
And so you get that, or you go back a
little later in life, like I don't know how old
or how long you wait, but you go through and
you're like, oh, you know what, I've been wanting to
get a tattoo.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I don't know what to get. I want it to
be something meaningful.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
They'll tell you that the number one reason that people
get tattoos is to either honor someone or remember.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Someone that I believe, Yeah, that is number one.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Like now, for example, that's not everybody like for like
Colin honors his fraternity.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
The so I could see that even if it's later.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Let's say you have your kid late twenties and then
you're like thirty five, thirty six, and you're like.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
You know what, I kind of want to get a tattoo.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
You may go back and take a piece an old
piece of their art that they did and get that
put on you.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
I'm trying to imagine, like say, for instance, it's high
school graduation. Yes, and I pull, and my daughter has
drawn a lot and we still have quite a few
pieces hanging around the house.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
This is perfect for you. I feel like she'd mock me. No, no, no, no,
she was eighteen, No, already makes fun of me. Yes,
like she did.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Her card yesterday was one of those pie charts where
he shows like dad's activities. And I didn't like how
large and comparable the piece was for being a great
dad and then working. Yeah, like a piece is supposed
to be a little bit more obvious that one's bigger
than the other.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
By the way, I would have guessed the biggest piece
of the pie was watching wrestling.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
That's where I would.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Have gone, No, no, but you know what, like now, yeah,
maybe she would, But in eighteen, I bet she would
think it's cool.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I bet you would think it's cool.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
I'm picturing such a rudimentary drying.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
But that's what it is. That's yeah, that's almost that
almost makes it cooler.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Or are people getting stuff done as their kids get
a little bit older and maybe have no interest in
being tattoo artists, but are able to.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Design I go the other way.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
I would much rather have like bad stick figure dog
and the grass than like if my kid grew up
My kids aren't artistic, but then like then like sketching
something that's really like well done.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
But not you know, they it's good enough, so it
looks like you just had a bad tattoo artist, you know.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I mean, I guess that that would factor in. I
wasn't thinking that, but I don't want it to look good.
I wanted to look like.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
The charm of it.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Yes, yes, like I like that. I like that a lot.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
When you got the footprints that suit on your forearms, yes,
did the artists or even when you were talking to
people about wanting to get this done, no one brought
up to you, well, maybe you wait and get some
of their artwork done instead.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
No. The only thing that we talked about doing and
I ended up not doing it was once they were
old enough to be able to write their names and
kind of that kid scratch handwriting, was to get their
handwriting of their names underneath it.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
And then I was like, I don't need that.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
No, I know which I mean, that's kind of comparable
about what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Now, Why did you decide not to do it. It
just was like the feet or not well enough.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I don't even now the no no no, but like
the if I didn't have their footprints, yeah, And I
was like, oh, I want to get something for the kids.
I think now I like that idea. I would go
back and get something they that they drew, Like, that's
pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Not their own names.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
No, even if you didn't have the footprints, no, no,
because I bet some of these calls maybe the name written.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Now, Oh, I have no issue with somebody that does it.
I just wasn't going to do it with my kids.
I was like, and also, I know whose feet or whose?
I mean until I get dementia, but I know whose.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Feet are who's that's a weird thing to say. Well, no,
I do. But when I get dementia, I won't know
what any of this is. I'll be like, whose.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Dog is that?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Where am I going?
Speaker 6 (06:37):
In line?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
One? Hi Elliott the morning, Good morning, Ellie, I am
doing great? Thank you? Who is this too? Hey? Tim?
What's going on? Brother?
Speaker 7 (06:48):
I sent Diana picture just now of my arm. When
my kids were about four years old, each one of
them had just started to write their own name. I
took that sheet of paper to a tattoo artist. He
stinseled it, and I have each one of their names
tattoo on the south of my arm.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
See, I like that. I like that. That's cool. Now
let me ask you this.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Have have you ever thought about using any of their
artwork to get a tattoo?
Speaker 6 (07:16):
No?
Speaker 7 (07:16):
No, no, of their art work. I think when they
were in kindergarten they had.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
Like a class project.
Speaker 8 (07:21):
You could get a.
Speaker 7 (07:22):
Little the picture they drew printed on like a coffee mug,
nonsense like that.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (07:28):
I think we did that once or twice for the
first two, but not for mind youngest.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
But don't you, but don't you think the artwork idea?
I mean, listen, you got their handwriting, and I like that.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I chose against that, but don't you, But don't you.
Here we go, Hey, thank you sir.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Who is this? That's some Dirk? There you go, that's
exactly what I'm talking about.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
That was, he says, the first somewhat identifiable card. Yes,
for Father's Day.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
That's awesome.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
It is. It's stick figure. But but there's more. But
that's to the bodies.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Yeah. Well, he was obviously the dark it looks like
a potato. Well, dad's also a little chunk. Is that
is that a mustache? That's how I take And.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
That's supposed to be a tie or is that a
big spot on his chest?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Or like does he wear a dicky? I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
You have the body of a teddy bear.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
But that's obviously the daughter made the card holding.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
What did you just say, like the body of a
teddy bear where you have like the big like the
white spot.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Father. It's the father, that's awesome. The handholding is cool,
that's great.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
That's a toodoodle, which is the stupidest name, totoodle to
tootle the same thing.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
I hate the name. I love the idea. I love
the idea.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
But here's the other end of that spectrum. And I
wondered if this could happen too from Billy's you know
on Facebook, my kid will be designing my tattoo. She's
a digital design major in college with a focus on animation.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Okay, but she must be really good. There is something
cool about that. Also, I like the juvenile one better,
but that's just me. It's everybody's body is their own canvas.
That's why, like Colin was like I have to get
my fraternity letter.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
From m Kevin.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
My cousin did this, and the tattoo artist asked him
to not be tagged in any online photos.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Oh come on, why because they were like, ooh the
artworks fat because it looked like sloppy work. Oh, but
it's intentionally sloppy. It's intentionally sloppy. I like that. It's
supposed to look that way. I will say this. The
other thing they say that you should do. And who
was the guy who sent in the lovely tattoo of
(09:42):
him and his daughter that Diane thought was a teddy
bear dirt is they're saying a lot of people, and
I'm not crapping on dirt, a lot of them will
go with like very bright crayon looking colors as opposed
to just black. I don't mind, it's your body. Do
what you want. But I could see the idea of
(10:02):
making it look like a blue crayon or a pink
crayon or whatever.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I love it. Do not tag me the Uh that's rude.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
You said if your kid was a little bit older,
you'd worry that it would look like shoddy work. Yes, yeah,
and that's why you said you're focusing on the.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
That's because when you look at it when it's young,
you know, a kid do it?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Did it? I can't also describe it to use your words. Hi,
elliot in the morning. Hey, good morning, I am doing great.
Thank you? Who is this?
Speaker 1 (10:41):
This is that?
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Yes, what can I do for you?
Speaker 6 (10:45):
So?
Speaker 8 (10:45):
My daughter and she was twenty at the time, so
let me just preface that. But two years ago did
a joodle.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Of a duck with an eyepatch and a peg leg
as a pirate duck.
Speaker 8 (10:56):
And it is now on my ankle.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Now can I ask you this? Does it look like
kids drawing? Or like was she trying to do like
legit work?
Speaker 8 (11:05):
It looks like a kid's drawing. It was just a click,
something that fell out of her brain.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
See that's cool.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
I like that. I like that. That's cool. That's cool. Hey,
send that to Diane. Send that to Diane. Thank you, ma'am. Beautiful.
I want more pastel colors, but that's fine.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Yea.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Look, wow, somebody loves getting kids.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
In on them.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
The other one is this one.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Oh oh boy, that kid that's a little demonic.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Yeah, my god. Maybe they have crazy hair like that
and big eye.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
And by the way, Dirk haz replied to Diane's criticism
of yourself, I worked at a bank. It was okay,
it's a tie.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
I said that first.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
So you said it looked like he had a dicky
or he was I never said dicky. You said that transgressions.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
I said it looked like he looked like spot And
Dirk says them mustache was supposed to be my beer?
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Who's wrong place? Wrong place? From Lauren.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
My dad's friend got a tattoo of a silly smiley
face with tiger stripes that his son drew when he
was eight.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
But he got it when his son was in his thirties.
That's cool. That's cool. I bet I bet the dad
wishes he had it longer. Was it a special event
like what.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
In the wedding?
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Why does he get it? Yeah, wedding would be maybe
I guess a gould Yeah that could be. That could
be Line four.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
Hi Ellie in the morning, Elliott, he how you doing
this morning?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
I am doing great? Thank you? How are you?
Speaker 8 (12:35):
I am doing fantastic. So this is going to be
a bumber, but it's not a bummer, con fined, but
I've had cancer three times, three different ones bomb related.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Okay, No, I'm.
Speaker 8 (12:45):
Good, dude, It's all good. So I had breast cancer
first in twenty seventeen. So my son was fifteen at
the time and drew a punisher sque type skull and
he put f cancer except he did f asterix t key,
and then she came and cancer at the bottom. I
threw it on ig for three guys to see. So anyways,
(13:08):
it's kind of cool. He did it on his own.
I didn't ask him to do it, and I haven't
got it yet. It's gonna go on my four arm.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
But you are going to get that as a tattoo. Yeah.
I think that's great. I think that's awesome.
Speaker 8 (13:18):
Oh yeah, absolutely, yep.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
When are you Yeah? Two questions Number one, when are
you getting it done?
Speaker 8 (13:26):
I've got a schedule for the net. Probably it's about
three weeks from now.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Oh wow, so you're going quick. How old is your kid.
Speaker 7 (13:35):
Now?
Speaker 8 (13:35):
He's twenty four?
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Are you going to bring your kid with you to
get the tattoo? Probably?
Speaker 8 (13:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
So there are some tattoo parlors and you'd have to
ask this ahead of time where they'll let the kid help.
And I don't mean, do a bunch of the work,
but like make one little squiggle on the on the arm.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
That's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
I wouldn't trust either of my kids even today with
a tattoo gun, but in some cases they're letting them
do it.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
That's pretty cool. I like that. Good for you when
you get it done in a couple of weeks, send
me a picture, I will I do. Thank you. My friend.
What's that?
Speaker 4 (14:12):
So this is the original doodle and there is the
child next to the tattoo on the arm.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
See, you're gonna tell me that's not cool.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
No color. A lot of people are just black and white,
not doing the color, which you are saying you think
is key to it.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I don't think it's key, but I think it kind
of shows off more of the This is a kid's
piece of work. I mean I could look at that
one and go, clearly a kid drew that.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
But I like the idea of a little bit of color.
So it looks like.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Crank crayons from your friend Dirk Diane. Oh, color doesn't
hold the best and fades.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
That's why I stuck to black.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I get that. I get that list. I've got color
held well for me.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Hi yelle at the morning.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
Hey, good morning, guys. I just sent Tyler and Diana
a picture of a drawing that my son did when
he was ten years old. And when I brought it in,
not only does she let him put the stencil on
my leg, but she also let him color in the
shoes and he took a tattoo on and everything, and
(15:23):
he was he was scared at first. He's like, what
if I messed up like that? That wouldn't make it
that much cooler? Like messed up?
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Look at it. It looks like trash anyway.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
The it's like him playing soccer, right or is that
you playing soccer?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah, it's both.
Speaker 6 (15:36):
Yeah, it's him. It's him just standing there with a
soccer ball.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
The I do like the idea of letting the kid
put the stencil on also, that's pretty cool, right, And.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
And he's nineteen years old, and it's my favorite tattoo
I have. I have five different tattoos of him, not
of him, but you.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Know about him, right.
Speaker 6 (15:58):
I've got his a handprin he got his handprint when
he was a week old, and then when he was ten,
we went back in and had him put his ten
year old hand over top of that handprint and they
traced around it.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
By the way, I'll say this, Tyler just pulled it up.
The soccer tattoo is freaking awesome.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
Yeah. I mean the girl who did it, she was
on ink Master. Her name is Jesse Nichols, and she
got every little scribble and everything that he did. I mean,
it was perfect.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
It.
Speaker 6 (16:31):
It looks exact.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
And don't take this the wrong way because I love it.
But like you could tell, especially in the shorts, like
the coloring sucks, right, yeah, but it's but that's what
makes it look awesome.
Speaker 6 (16:46):
Right right, that's that's what That's exactly what I wanted.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Yeah, exactly what I want. Its good for you, good
for take care of that. So the color holds all right,
very good, Thank you, my friend. Thank you. See what
I mean, that's sweet.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
That's what you envisioned reading about these tattoodles.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Yeah. No, it's the stupidest name it is. Hey, what
are you doing this weekend? I'm going to get my tattootle.
Oh is that like those dolls that are selling out?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Oh that's la boo boo.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
No, No, this is a tattoo. Well, they just say
you're getting a tattooed dude.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
I think there were in like the eighties or nineties.
Weren't there tattootle dolls? I don't remember that didn't that
wasn't that a brand name? There were dolls called tattootles,
I think so like there was. You could get a
furbie or a tickle me elmos R or a garbage
pail kid, or you can get a tattootle.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I don't even know what.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
That is, Like early mid nineties, I don't remember these.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Yeah, there's some more. That's cool.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
She's find that one an aggressive ponytail.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
On the tattootle. I've never even heard of them. Let
me grab line one. Hi Ellie in the morning. Yeah, Hi,
who's this?
Speaker 6 (17:59):
This is from Richmond.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
I every time I go to get a tattoo, I
let my kids draw something for me to get tattooed
on me. So I've gotten so many of these things,
and they started off awful, just got awful, but now
they're actually really good. And my son hates them so
much that he tells me not to get a tattoo.
So I started leaving blank spaces that are like outlined,
that are the spot where I'll never get a tattoo
(18:22):
for him.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Good for you. So wait, how many kids? How many
kids drawn tattoos do you have?
Speaker 5 (18:33):
I lost count at about thirty. Oh wow, yeah I have.
Well I also have just a ridiculous amount of tattoos.
But yeah, so yeah, just started. When they started drawing,
I would just want to leave, to go to get
a tattoo and give him a piece of papers on
them to draw something, and I'd get the tattoo I wanted,
and then I'd get their tattoos they drew for me.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Love it, love it very good?
Speaker 6 (18:52):
All right?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah, what is he up to? No, but that's what
he just he loves tattoo covered. Yeah, there's nothing wrong
with that. I love it. I think it's so cool.
I do. I really really like them.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
And the ones that people are sending in again, they
look bad like kids drew them. But that's what it's
supposed to be.
People are getting. I don't like the name of it.
I don't like what they're calling it. I think the
name that they've given it is dumb. What do they
call it?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Hold on? Hold on? Oh tatoodles exactly? I hate the name,
so tattoo and doodle toodles.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
It's taking your kid's artwork and getting tattoos made of that.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
That's awesome. I think that's cool. So was this a
big activity yesterday?
Speaker 1 (00:29):
The you know what, I would bet for Father's Day
there was a decent amount, had it. This was a
big tattoo weekend because going back to Friday, you had
all the Friday the thirteenth tattoos, which is a big
date to go get tattoos done.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
But I would bet as this kind of trend emerges, they.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Said that, and it doesn't have to be like, oh,
my kid just drew this for me and now I'm
going to take it in. But they were saying even
like even like I don't know if you said his
name is BJ or CJ the cancer guy, but the
like getting it later in life would be like going
back and finding like.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
A favorite piece of art that they had done.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yeah, Kristin, will you find me somebody that has their
kids and it doesn't have to be just for men.
They said that it is a huge growing trend for
dads to get their kids' artwork done on their bodies,
but women will do it also. But Kristin, will you
see if you can find me somebody who has their
kids' artwork tattoos? I like that a Ton eight six
(01:33):
six to Elliott eight six six two three five five
four six eight.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I think that's pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
So I was picturing like the whole family going to
the parlor yesterday to have this happen. But you're saying
this may be years of move from when they created
or made the artwork.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Yeah, so maybe it's not like what it like what
age the kids start doing like stupid little art projects
from pie?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Yeah, even before preschool, but like where you could tell
what it is.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
As a get into maybe kindergarten.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Okay, so like, yeah, let's say like kindergarten through third
grade right where it still has like that kid look
to it.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
They will go, oh, did I not give the number? Sorry?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Eight six six to Elliott eight six six two three
five five four six eight. Someone who has their kids' artwork? Uh,
tattooed on them. But where So it could be when
they're that age and you take a picture immediately and
take it in and go, I want to get this done.
I've been thinking about getting a tattoo they made a
picture of I.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Don't know what a kid's make a get age exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
And so you get that, or you go back a
little later in life, like I don't know how old
or how long you wait, but you go through and
you're like, oh, you know what, I've been wanting to
get a tattoo.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I don't know what to get. I want it to
be something meaningful.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
They'll tell you that the number one reason that people
get tattoos is to either honor someone or remember.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Someone that I believe, Yeah, that is number one.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Like now, for example, that's not everybody like for like
Colin honors his fraternity.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
The so I could see that even if it's later.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Let's say you have your kid late twenties and then
you're like thirty five, thirty six, and you're like.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
You know what, I kind of want to get a tattoo.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
You may go back and take a piece an old
piece of their art that they did and get that
put on you.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
I'm trying to imagine, like say, for instance, it's high
school graduation. Yes, and I pull, and my daughter has
drawn a lot and we still have quite a few
pieces hanging around the house.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
This is perfect for you. I feel like she'd mock me. No, no, no, no,
she was eighteen, No, already makes fun of me. Yes,
like she did.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Her card yesterday was one of those pie charts where
he shows like dad's activities. And I didn't like how
large and comparable the piece was for being a great
dad and then working. Yeah, like a piece is supposed
to be a little bit more obvious that one's bigger
than the other.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
By the way, I would have guessed the biggest piece
of the pie was watching wrestling.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
That's where I would.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Have gone, No, no, but you know what, like now, yeah,
maybe she would, But in eighteen, I bet she would
think it's cool.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I bet you would think it's cool.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
I'm picturing such a rudimentary drying.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
But that's what it is. That's yeah, that's almost that
almost makes it cooler.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Or are people getting stuff done as their kids get
a little bit older and maybe have no interest in
being tattoo artists, but are able to.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Design I go the other way.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
I would much rather have like bad stick figure dog
and the grass than like if my kid grew up
My kids aren't artistic, but then like then like sketching
something that's really like well done.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
But not you know, they it's good enough, so it
looks like you just had a bad tattoo artist, you know.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I mean, I guess that that would factor in. I
wasn't thinking that, but I don't want it to look good.
I wanted to look like.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
The charm of it.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Yes, yes, like I like that. I like that a lot.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
When you got the footprints that suit on your forearms, yes,
did the artists or even when you were talking to
people about wanting to get this done, no one brought
up to you, well, maybe you wait and get some
of their artwork done instead.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
No. The only thing that we talked about doing and
I ended up not doing it was once they were
old enough to be able to write their names and
kind of that kid scratch handwriting, was to get their
handwriting of their names underneath it.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
And then I was like, I don't need that.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
No, I know which I mean, that's kind of comparable
about what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Now, Why did you decide not to do it. It
just was like the feet or not well enough.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I don't even now the no no no, but like
the if I didn't have their footprints, yeah, And I
was like, oh, I want to get something for the kids.
I think now I like that idea. I would go
back and get something they that they drew, Like, that's
pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Not their own names.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
No, even if you didn't have the footprints, no, no,
because I bet some of these calls maybe the name written.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Now, Oh, I have no issue with somebody that does it.
I just wasn't going to do it with my kids.
I was like, and also, I know whose feet or whose?
I mean until I get dementia, but I know whose.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Feet are who's that's a weird thing to say. Well, no,
I do. But when I get dementia, I won't know
what any of this is. I'll be like, whose.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Dog is that?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Where am I going?
Speaker 6 (06:37):
In line?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
One? Hi Elliott the morning, Good morning, Ellie, I am
doing great? Thank you? Who is this too? Hey? Tim?
What's going on? Brother?
Speaker 7 (06:48):
I sent Diana picture just now of my arm. When
my kids were about four years old, each one of
them had just started to write their own name. I
took that sheet of paper to a tattoo artist. He
stinseled it, and I have each one of their names
tattoo on the south of my arm.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
See, I like that. I like that. That's cool. Now
let me ask you this.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Have have you ever thought about using any of their
artwork to get a tattoo?
Speaker 6 (07:16):
No?
Speaker 7 (07:16):
No, no, of their art work. I think when they
were in kindergarten they had.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
Like a class project.
Speaker 8 (07:21):
You could get a.
Speaker 7 (07:22):
Little the picture they drew printed on like a coffee mug,
nonsense like that.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (07:28):
I think we did that once or twice for the
first two, but not for mind youngest.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
But don't you, but don't you think the artwork idea?
I mean, listen, you got their handwriting, and I like that.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I chose against that, but don't you, But don't you.
Here we go, Hey, thank you sir.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Who is this? That's some Dirk? There you go, that's
exactly what I'm talking about.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
That was, he says, the first somewhat identifiable card. Yes,
for Father's Day.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
That's awesome.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
It is. It's stick figure. But but there's more. But
that's to the bodies.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Yeah. Well, he was obviously the dark it looks like
a potato. Well, dad's also a little chunk. Is that
is that a mustache? That's how I take And.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
That's supposed to be a tie or is that a
big spot on his chest?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Or like does he wear a dicky? I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
You have the body of a teddy bear.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
But that's obviously the daughter made the card holding.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
What did you just say, like the body of a
teddy bear where you have like the big like the
white spot.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Father. It's the father, that's awesome. The handholding is cool,
that's great.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
That's a toodoodle, which is the stupidest name, totoodle to
tootle the same thing.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
I hate the name. I love the idea. I love
the idea.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
But here's the other end of that spectrum. And I
wondered if this could happen too from Billy's you know
on Facebook, my kid will be designing my tattoo. She's
a digital design major in college with a focus on animation.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Okay, but she must be really good. There is something
cool about that. Also, I like the juvenile one better,
but that's just me. It's everybody's body is their own canvas.
That's why, like Colin was like I have to get
my fraternity letter.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
From m Kevin.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
My cousin did this, and the tattoo artist asked him
to not be tagged in any online photos.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Oh come on, why because they were like, ooh the
artworks fat because it looked like sloppy work. Oh, but
it's intentionally sloppy. It's intentionally sloppy. I like that. It's
supposed to look that way. I will say this. The
other thing they say that you should do. And who
was the guy who sent in the lovely tattoo of
(09:42):
him and his daughter that Diane thought was a teddy
bear dirt is they're saying a lot of people, and
I'm not crapping on dirt, a lot of them will
go with like very bright crayon looking colors as opposed
to just black. I don't mind, it's your body. Do
what you want. But I could see the idea of
(10:02):
making it look like a blue crayon or a pink
crayon or whatever.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I love it. Do not tag me the Uh that's rude.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
You said if your kid was a little bit older,
you'd worry that it would look like shoddy work. Yes, yeah,
and that's why you said you're focusing on the.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
That's because when you look at it when it's young,
you know, a kid do it?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Did it? I can't also describe it to use your words. Hi,
elliot in the morning. Hey, good morning, I am doing great.
Thank you? Who is this?
Speaker 1 (10:41):
This is that?
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Yes, what can I do for you?
Speaker 6 (10:45):
So?
Speaker 8 (10:45):
My daughter and she was twenty at the time, so
let me just preface that. But two years ago did
a joodle.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Of a duck with an eyepatch and a peg leg
as a pirate duck.
Speaker 8 (10:56):
And it is now on my ankle.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Now can I ask you this? Does it look like
kids drawing? Or like was she trying to do like
legit work?
Speaker 8 (11:05):
It looks like a kid's drawing. It was just a click,
something that fell out of her brain.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
See that's cool.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
I like that. I like that. That's cool. That's cool. Hey,
send that to Diane. Send that to Diane. Thank you, ma'am. Beautiful.
I want more pastel colors, but that's fine.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Yea.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Look, wow, somebody loves getting kids.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
In on them.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
The other one is this one.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Oh oh boy, that kid that's a little demonic.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Yeah, my god. Maybe they have crazy hair like that
and big eye.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
And by the way, Dirk haz replied to Diane's criticism
of yourself, I worked at a bank. It was okay,
it's a tie.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
I said that first.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
So you said it looked like he had a dicky
or he was I never said dicky. You said that transgressions.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
I said it looked like he looked like spot And
Dirk says them mustache was supposed to be my beer?
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Who's wrong place? Wrong place? From Lauren.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
My dad's friend got a tattoo of a silly smiley
face with tiger stripes that his son drew when he
was eight.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
But he got it when his son was in his thirties.
That's cool. That's cool. I bet I bet the dad
wishes he had it longer. Was it a special event
like what.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
In the wedding?
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Why does he get it? Yeah, wedding would be maybe
I guess a gould Yeah that could be. That could
be Line four.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
Hi Ellie in the morning, Elliott, he how you doing
this morning?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
I am doing great? Thank you? How are you?
Speaker 8 (12:35):
I am doing fantastic. So this is going to be
a bumber, but it's not a bummer, con fined, but
I've had cancer three times, three different ones bomb related.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Okay, No, I'm.
Speaker 8 (12:45):
Good, dude, It's all good. So I had breast cancer
first in twenty seventeen. So my son was fifteen at
the time and drew a punisher sque type skull and
he put f cancer except he did f asterix t key,
and then she came and cancer at the bottom. I
threw it on ig for three guys to see. So anyways,
(13:08):
it's kind of cool. He did it on his own.
I didn't ask him to do it, and I haven't
got it yet. It's gonna go on my four arm.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
But you are going to get that as a tattoo. Yeah.
I think that's great. I think that's awesome.
Speaker 8 (13:18):
Oh yeah, absolutely, yep.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
When are you Yeah? Two questions Number one, when are
you getting it done?
Speaker 8 (13:26):
I've got a schedule for the net. Probably it's about
three weeks from now.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Oh wow, so you're going quick. How old is your kid.
Speaker 7 (13:35):
Now?
Speaker 8 (13:35):
He's twenty four?
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Are you going to bring your kid with you to
get the tattoo? Probably?
Speaker 8 (13:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
So there are some tattoo parlors and you'd have to
ask this ahead of time where they'll let the kid help.
And I don't mean, do a bunch of the work,
but like make one little squiggle on the on the arm.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
That's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
I wouldn't trust either of my kids even today with
a tattoo gun, but in some cases they're letting them
do it.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
That's pretty cool. I like that. Good for you when
you get it done in a couple of weeks, send
me a picture, I will I do. Thank you. My friend.
What's that?
Speaker 4 (14:12):
So this is the original doodle and there is the
child next to the tattoo on the arm.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
See, you're gonna tell me that's not cool.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
No color. A lot of people are just black and white,
not doing the color, which you are saying you think
is key to it.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I don't think it's key, but I think it kind
of shows off more of the This is a kid's
piece of work. I mean I could look at that
one and go, clearly a kid drew that.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
But I like the idea of a little bit of color.
So it looks like.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Crank crayons from your friend Dirk Diane. Oh, color doesn't
hold the best and fades.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
That's why I stuck to black.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I get that. I get that list. I've got color
held well for me.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Hi yelle at the morning.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
Hey, good morning, guys. I just sent Tyler and Diana
a picture of a drawing that my son did when
he was ten years old. And when I brought it in,
not only does she let him put the stencil on
my leg, but she also let him color in the
shoes and he took a tattoo on and everything, and
(15:23):
he was he was scared at first. He's like, what
if I messed up like that? That wouldn't make it
that much cooler? Like messed up?
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Look at it. It looks like trash anyway.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
The it's like him playing soccer, right or is that
you playing soccer?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah, it's both.
Speaker 6 (15:36):
Yeah, it's him. It's him just standing there with a
soccer ball.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
The I do like the idea of letting the kid
put the stencil on also, that's pretty cool, right, And.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
And he's nineteen years old, and it's my favorite tattoo
I have. I have five different tattoos of him, not
of him, but you.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Know about him, right.
Speaker 6 (15:58):
I've got his a handprin he got his handprint when
he was a week old, and then when he was ten,
we went back in and had him put his ten
year old hand over top of that handprint and they
traced around it.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
By the way, I'll say this, Tyler just pulled it up.
The soccer tattoo is freaking awesome.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
Yeah. I mean the girl who did it, she was
on ink Master. Her name is Jesse Nichols, and she
got every little scribble and everything that he did. I mean,
it was perfect.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
It.
Speaker 6 (16:31):
It looks exact.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
And don't take this the wrong way because I love it.
But like you could tell, especially in the shorts, like
the coloring sucks, right, yeah, but it's but that's what
makes it look awesome.
Speaker 6 (16:46):
Right right, that's that's what That's exactly what I wanted.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Yeah, exactly what I want. Its good for you, good
for take care of that. So the color holds all right,
very good, Thank you, my friend. Thank you. See what
I mean, that's sweet.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
That's what you envisioned reading about these tattoodles.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Yeah. No, it's the stupidest name it is. Hey, what
are you doing this weekend? I'm going to get my tattootle.
Oh is that like those dolls that are selling out?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Oh that's la boo boo.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
No, No, this is a tattoo. Well, they just say
you're getting a tattooed dude.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
I think there were in like the eighties or nineties.
Weren't there tattootle dolls? I don't remember that didn't that
wasn't that a brand name? There were dolls called tattootles,
I think so like there was. You could get a
furbie or a tickle me elmos R or a garbage
pail kid, or you can get a tattootle.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I don't even know what.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
That is, Like early mid nineties, I don't remember these.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Yeah, there's some more. That's cool.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
She's find that one an aggressive ponytail.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
On the tattootle. I've never even heard of them. Let
me grab line one. Hi Ellie in the morning. Yeah, Hi,
who's this?
Speaker 6 (17:59):
This is from Richmond.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
I every time I go to get a tattoo, I
let my kids draw something for me to get tattooed
on me. So I've gotten so many of these things,
and they started off awful, just got awful, but now
they're actually really good. And my son hates them so
much that he tells me not to get a tattoo.
So I started leaving blank spaces that are like outlined,
that are the spot where I'll never get a tattoo
(18:22):
for him.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Good for you. So wait, how many kids? How many
kids drawn tattoos do you have?
Speaker 5 (18:33):
I lost count at about thirty. Oh wow, yeah I have.
Well I also have just a ridiculous amount of tattoos.
But yeah, so yeah, just started. When they started drawing,
I would just want to leave, to go to get
a tattoo and give him a piece of papers on
them to draw something, and I'd get the tattoo I wanted,
and then I'd get their tattoos they drew for me.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Love it, love it very good?
Speaker 6 (18:52):
All right?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah, what is he up to? No, but that's what
he just he loves tattoo covered. Yeah, there's nothing wrong
with that. I love it. I think it's so cool.
I do. I really really like them.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
And the ones that people are sending in again, they
look bad like kids drew them. But that's what it's
supposed to be.
