Thursday, April 19, 2012 5:22:00 AM I don't really see what is so ironic. Is that tattoo supposed to be the story of her life? I think not. |

Thursday, April 19, 2012 12:14:20 AM Oh, I'm pretty sure this person knows what she's doing; I think that the fact she got this particular tattoo shows she has a great deal of insight and a sort of bittersweet humor. |

Wednesday, April 18, 2012 8:21:58 PM to define this as irony would be idiotic. for one it's a metaphor not a literal pen. Two, a tattoo gun is not a pen. Three, the tattoo was her decision(most likely) so even though she herself did not draw the tattoo the choice was hers to get it thus she'd still be holding the metaphorical pen. |

Wednesday, April 18, 2012 7:40:09 PM this is not in the slightest way ironic. adults hold yer pen/pencil when you learn to write. perfectly acceptable metaphor. there could have been a comma after life, but what the feck ever. |

Wednesday, April 18, 2012 6:57:44 PM Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd Ogen is clueless. The idea is that her philosophy of "don't let someone else hold the pen" is contradicted. Unless she's REALLY limber. |

Wednesday, April 18, 2012 6:10:34 PM Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd Nerb doesn't understand the word "irony." Does this look like a life story written on her back? No? Then it isn't ironic. |

Wednesday, April 18, 2012 5:09:57 PM The pen is not literal, which means this is not ironic in any way. |

Wednesday, April 18, 2012 4:53:59 PM Did I just spend a couple minutes trying to figure out where the spelling errors were just to find out that it was just an idiot with no understanding of irony? I mean, there could be punctuation, but that's not that big of a deal when it comes to tattoos. |

Wednesday, April 18, 2012 4:09:21 PM I get the irony, but you could argue that it's philosophical, not literal. Pretty good tattoo if you ask me |

Wednesday, April 18, 2012 3:32:12 PM What's ironic is how I was expecting a terrible and stupid tattoo when it turns out it is actually a pretty good one. |
