St. Patrick’s Day Tattoos

You knew I was going to have St. Patrick’s Day tattoos, right? After all, it’s me. I don’t miss an occasion to find themed tattoos. That would just be…silly. Not like…this:

Wow.

Just…wow.

There are all sorts of shamrocks you can choose for St. Patrick’s Day tattoos, or just to celebrate your Irish heritage, I imagine. Such as this one:

Ouch. That looks a tad painful.

This one is a little more petite…

That’s cute as all get-out. And small. As indicated by the dime.

That’s a commitment, folks. And I like it. It’s simple and understated. OK, it might not be terribly understated, since it’s smack-dab front and center on his chest, but you know what I mean. Now, this one, I’m not so sure…

I wonder if this person is getting all the luck they were hoping for, with this very condensed “luck of the Irish” tattoo. I don’t know if this qualifies as one of the St. Patrick’s Day tattoos, but it sure utilizes the necessary ingredients.

Of course, there is no shortage of leprechaun tattoos, which I presume are St. Patrick’s Day tattoos, kinda. Let’s do the math: If you have a leprechaun tattoo, then I would imagine you’re showing it off in a bar on St. Patrick’s Day. OK then.

You’d be surprised at the range of leprechaun tattoos. They go from cartoonish and “cute” (like the one above) to creepy and frightening. No, seriously.

Eek. I mean, the design is interesting and the work is good but…eek. It’s creepy. See his little knife? What. The.

This one isn’t quite as creepy, but still…I’m not getting a “Lucky Charms” vibe from it.

I thought leprechauns were funny, spritely little characters. Apparently I shouldn’t assume, because my perception leans more this way:

That’s more like it…a harmless, tipsy leprechaun. Of course, he only has four fingers, but, hey, stuff happens when you’re drinking what looks to be more than your body weight in beer.

Then there are those who went all out…like all out…in their celebration of St. Patrick.

Dan Stewart/Lucky Rabbit Tattoo

Yowza. That is utterly amazing. It has no green, which I find slightly amusing, since it’s St. Patrick and, I presume (but could be wrong) that this qualifies as one of the St. Patrick’s Day tattoos. But, hey. Who am I to judge? No one, that’s who.

But this…now this is something else. This St. Patrick’s Cathedral tattoo is quite good, in my opinion…of course, nowhere near as amazing as the real thing (which you must see at some point in your life!), but amazing nonetheless.

One question…is that a foot of someone running away from St. Patrick’s Cathedral? Shoot. I wish I had a full view of this St. Patrick’s Day tattoo.

Now, I have no idea where this following tattoo is located on the body but…given the text, I’m gonna “guess” that it might be in a spot that, well, you know…you might tell people to kiss. Again, that’s just a guess.

So, which of these St. Patrick’s Day tattoos is your favorite?
