Ye Olde Tattoo Parlor

They call dogs man’s best friend for a reason. For 16 years, Mike Toma and his dog Puppy were constantly by each other’s side.

“I never went anywhere without him. He was my best friend,” said Mike.

Last July, Puppy passed away, and it impacted Mike like he could never imagine.

“I’m a 34-year-old tattoo guy from Detroit, and this has just been the most horrible experience for me.”

Mike got Puppy as a puppy from a reputable breeder. And for the next 15+ years, they were inseparable. They did everything from camping trips to parties… even time at work.

Last year, Mike and Puppy started a campaign to overturn a longstanding pit bull ban in Hazel Park, Michigan. It was a ban that Mike said he was unaware of when he got his beloved dog. They managed to get the ban overturned, but it didn’t go into effect until a few months after Puppy died.

In April, Mike decided to honor Puppy by keeping him by his side forever. More accurately, close to his heart. He called on a childhood friend, tattoo artist Christopher Kime, to create an anatomically-correct human heart tattoo, mixing Puppy’s ashes with the ink. Inside the heart is Puppy’s paw print.




It’s not the first time Mike has used this idea to honor someone close to him. He did the same thing when his younger brother passed away in his sleep five years ago.

“We had used his ashes in that tattoo and that’s where I got the idea to do it for Puppy,” says Mike. “Since both Puppy and my brother meant so much to me I thought that it was fitting.”

While Mike is still grieving over his loss, he finds comfort in another canine companion — one of Puppy’s offsprings (he's such a responsible owner!) , named Diesel, who was born a few years ago. He also adopted Gemma in December, saving her from the euthanasia list at a Detroit animal shelter.

Mike loves his two Pit Bulls, but says there are no more dog tattoos in his future.

“Don’t be sorry for me. Be happy for me that I got 16 years of nothing but pure joy and love out of it,” Mike says. “He lived a very very good life. He was spoiled rotten and he deserved every bit of it.”

Editorial Cartoon



This little gem dates from 1987.  We haven't yet found anything like this that has a Rottweiler, Doberman, or German Shepherd depicted.  If you do find something, please share it!

The Growing List Against B.S.L.

College educated vegan rescue princesses are not the only ones who oppose B.S.L. 

Dogfighters also oppose B.S.L. as does Miley Cyrus

Just so you know, the Skinheads
are also showing their support in opposing B.S.L.

The pit bull advocacy calls this "winning".











There are also cases of skin-heads using pit bulls as weapons in hate crimes. 


According to the Anti-Defamation League, the image of the pit bull has been adopted as a symbol by Neo-Nazis.

"The pit bull has long been used as a skinhead symbol, presumably because of its reputation as a "fighting" dog. Many racist skinheads and other white supremacists own or even raise pit bulls. White supremacists use one specific pit bull graphic so often that it has become a white supremacist symbol itself. One racist skinhead group, the Keystone State Skinheads (at one time known as Keystone United) even adopted it as part of their logo." 

Isn't that ironic that the Anti-Defamation League writes, presumably because of its reputation as a "fighting dog"?  The pit bull advocates need to get on the ADL's case about perpetuating the horrible image of these dogs, how dare they defame the name!  How dare they suggest that they link ownership to this group, what will become of the "Majority" project!

The Wrecking Ball






The year ends with a BANG for the pit bull advocacy.
  Look who speaks up for the poor maligned pibbles....








The famous twerk tweeted that those poor pit bulls are killed because people are "racist".  I think that argument shows she is just a silly twerk jerk.  She may be actually insane.  She's in luck, because some one behind a FAKE EMOTIONAL SUPPORT SCAM tweeted back a FREEBEE (it would cost us mere mortals a little cash) so she can be declared unofficially nuts so she too can take her dogs, including her pit bull with her everywhere she goes.    Take a look...what would you check...fear of flying (Not YOU!), anxiety (PULEEEZE!), how about....PERSONALITY DISORDERS!  Kid, you are the poster child for that! 
Poor dog, indeed.

Pit bulls and Miley go together like Peas and Carrots, we couldn't think of a type of dog more worthy of her endorsement and support.  Good luck Pibbles.  We are rooting to regulate you so you don't have to deal so much with the clowns, but alas...


More ways the world is being wrecked by Miley and Pibbles.

















 


















Add caption





















Sorry Miley,  it's over population not "Haters", 
or due to "doggie racism". 
The anti-BSL crowd fights against those
                               mandatory spay and neuter policies.

























Dear Miley, should you happen to have an unfortunate event with your gripper, we will be here for you.  Cover your ass, just in case. 

Love, the "Haters"

It's the Owners

It's the owners, once more for groaners. 


If pit bulls only attack because of negligent ownership, it should be reason enough to regulate them.

Ye Olde Tattoo Parlor of Prejudice and Pitty


On the far edge of the Pit Nutter Circus, adjacent to the Hall of Burlesque and the Freak Show, you will find Ye Olde Tattoo Parlor of Prejudice and Pitty.  I'm getting a tattoo right across my forehead that reads




and if people look at me askance, pull their children in closer, I'm screaming PREJUDICE!!!  If that employer doesn't chose me, I'm calling an attorney, and there is going to be a lawsuit for DISCRIMINATION!

It is said of folks who elect to have ink injected into their skin,  that they have consciously taken the decision to tattoo their bodies and would like to proudly declare that they are what they are. "They are ordinary people like you and me, except that they have a strong sense of identity they have no intention of hiding." They are not scared of public opinion and would love to let others know what they believe in.   Perhaps they can't say it in words, so instead, they choose a Gothic Font and a scull and crossbones, and there it is written on flesh, everything they believe and who they are.  If you disagree with them, then keep it to yourself.    HATER.  I didn't realize that I did not have a "strong sense of identity", without ink.  Who knew!


                                  This man has a healthy sense of self.
                  
It's ART...well, somebody's art.  But for the tattooed, the choice, the colors, the placement, that is the art.  And damn it, they paid for it!   They chose the pain, the health risks.  They also chose the reactions, but despite having a strong sense of identity, they feel persecuted.  There needs to be awareness. 

My favorite inked folks are the ones who can't afford to pay their bills, often on public assistance,  but they can be found outside the parlor with a pack of cigarettes, waiting to be inked.  It's an artist's life.   It's a lovely scene that has replaced the drugstore soda fountain in nearly every town and city. 


                                          
                   This person has a strong sense of identity, and a slight case of folliculitis.

It's estimated that one if five have elected to have ink, 25 percent of the hip and young people under the age of 30.  It's a hallmark of the zeitgeist of the youth of the 21rst century. The most cited reasons for the elected pain and possible case of hepatitis or tetanus, were to


*Show the world you have passions and interests!   This man, for example,  enjoys the cruel and illegal sport of dogfighting.  He's man enough for the great big back tat and to wear such tight pants that he overflows, but it's apparent, that waxing is too painful.



*be a living memorial to a departed loved one.  This may be slightly more expensive than having a sticker put on your car's back window, but much less expensive than purchasing a plot in the cemetery and hiring a stone mason to carve names on a block of marble. 

        Nothing shows respect for the dead like a skull of a pit bull inscribed with a proper R.I.P.

*Represent a living person, which can lead to a constant reminder of that ex.  There are specialists who can alter that bad memory, or of course, there's the option for removal, WHEW!

*to tell the world that you love Jesus, the Buddha, Elvis, or Satan.  Jesus has a way of taking the scary out the other gang signs tattooed around the neck, and the tear on the face. 


                                              A dogfighting angel, how sweet!



        This gentleman with a strong sense of self expresses his love of Satan and pit bulls.
                                           The polka dotted bow tie is so dapper!



• Military tattoos representing patriotism. I don't know if the military allows for full face and neck tattoos  yet, or for those cool little bits of metal poking out of the face, or the ultimate statement that accompanies ink,  ear plugs. Those are really tribal.  One could claim that it's cultural, and get the civil liberties union involved.  It's only a matter of time until pit bulls and ear plugs are accepted and that the military becomes more enlightened about such things. After all, people who fight for our freedom of speech should be free to express themselves! 

• A dumb, drunken mistake.  They can be altered or removed! 

• Because a friend did it, and you want to be part of the tribe.

And a new reason, is to help restore the image of pit bulls.  It's not working.

Well, Neighbors Just Got a Pit Bull

From The Onion:  It's a satire news site, but for some of us, THIS is an unfortunate true story.

SPRINGFIELD, MA—Initial reports from your back porch confirmed Sunday that, yep, the couple next door just got a pit bull. Witnesses said one of its ears appears to have been bitten off and the animal has scars all over its muzzle, indications that, wouldn’t you know it, this is probably one of those rescue dogs that was thoroughly abused by its previous owner. There it goes, sources stated, just growling and barking away. And jumping. The pit bull can reportedly jump really high, clamp its jaws down on a dangling piece of knotted rope, and just hang there, snarling. According to sources, a low hedge is all that separates the animal from your backyard, which, sure enough, is where your three small children play all the time. Oh, here we go, the reports continued, your neighbor is apparently coming over to tell you there are a lot of misconceptions about these dogs. They’re only as bad as their owners, he says. Well, at least they only got one pit—oh, nope, there’s a second one coming out of the house. How about that, sources said. Two pit bulls, and they’re really starting to go at each other, aren’t they? Witnesses later confirmed that, Christ, they’re just going to leave the two dogs untethered in the backyard while they go out for the night.

The Wagging Tail of the Dog that Nearly Killed Father Christmas

A  (TRUE) Christmas Story by She Who Sees

Santa Claus has got allergies. He's allergic to dogs. ALL dogs. It's a well-kept secret once only spoken of in murmurs in the magical grottos where Elves tap tiny hammers at wooden toys, and write software programmes for PlayStation 4 games. But not anymore.... Santa's secret is OUT. He's a geezer with a wheezer, he is Santa the Panter.

So there he sat, the jolly gentleman in red, his beard snow-white and fluffy, his girth wide and welcoming, his voice booming with endearing conviction 'Ho Ho Ho', a happy queue of parents with their tiny excited charges before him, a sack of gifts at his boot-clad feet, when suddenly....
Pit Bull Mommy, Pit Bull Daddy, their sweet little girl, and her 'Service Dog Pit Bull' arrive.
A Concerned Staff Member who knew of poor Santa's canine dilemma (those Elves are such terrible gossips), steps up to whisper in Santa's tickly whiskers, "is it okay for this short-haired dog to come hither, Santa dear?" to which our seasonal friend cringed, wheezed, wiped his eyes, and pleaded 'no, please no, anything, ANYTHING, but not dogs; alas, I could die, right here, amidst the tinsel and the toys, I have to think of my 'elf'.
Oh-so-gently did the Concerned Staff Member reveal poor Santa's doggy dilemma to the Pit Bull Mommy and the Pit Bull Daddy, but did they understand? DID they worry that poor Santa, after HUNDREDS of years of service to the young and the innocent, might actually cock his toes and fall off his perch, right there, today, in front of them all; Santa himself, flopping around like a landed fish, legs akimbo, wheezing like a grampus on 60 smokes a day?
No. They didn't. They got mad. They got Pit Bull mad. They called Santa a 'Nancy'!!! And worse!!! So too was the concerned Staff member abused as the Pit Bull Parents forgot ALL about their sweet little daughter, and proceeded to RANT and to RAGE and to THREATEN and to BLUSTER. Everyone was so upset! The sweet little girl cried! The crowd watched, enthralled and repelled - who needs a Christmas Pantomime; it was right there, in front of them, for free!
The Pit Bull Parents were escorted from the building; they were NOT to be reasoned with. They demanded names; they demanded retribution; they swore like fish-wives. They wanted their damn moment with Santa as he flopped around in his grotto, dying from anaphylactic shock, turning purple in the face, hurling wrapped gifts asunder as he tried to draw breath through the miasma of Pit Bull dander - how DARE Santa threaten to die when THEY wanted to show everyone their Service Dog Pit Bull could be JUST like any other Service Dog, and was absolutely NOT a representative of a dog that not only killed more children than all other breeds combined, but was in truth only a threat to the life and welfare of fat old Santas with allergy problems!
And away to the media they went, hauling their harnessed Service Doggie and their weeping child behind them. An outrage! Beastly old Santa must hate Pit Bulls! He must be a racist Santa! And that Concerned Staff Member was a Pit Bull racist too! Man the guns! Circle the wagons! Put on an Oscar-winning performance! Louder! Don't bully my breed! Chihuahua's are more dangerous! Get educamated, Santa!
But a nasty derpish moment did await the Pit Bull Parents.... Oh dear. For the Concerned Staff Member was ACTUALLY a life-long Pit Bull OWNER, and she KNEW that poor Santa would have shuffled off his mortal coil in the presence of ANY dog, not just a Pit Bull. My goodness - for perhaps the first time in history, a Chihuahua WAS actually as dangerous to someone as a Pit Bull! And so the Concerned Staff Member came out in a huff of righteous seasonal indignation to set the record straight on a Facebook Pitter Page called Pup-cake the Service Dog, much to the chagrin of the slowly-deflating Pit Bull Parents and the myriad horde of frothing Pit Bull Nutters attendant at all such media events. Silence may not be an option for the advocates of Pit Bull victims and survivors, but even these zenith-point Nutters knew that perhaps silence was a better option, once one has been revealed to be a bit of a moon-calf. And of course, the admin of Pup-cake the Service Dog seem to believe in silence TOO - they don't want to hear ANYTHING that might cast a hint of a doubt on the feckless idea of a Pit Bull as a Service Dog, as they swiftly delete ALL posts that may call them to account for their Santa-endangering actions...
And so ends (or perhaps just begins) the bizarre and yet rather predictable tale of Pit Bull Parents who forgot their humanity, of a wonderful Santa who adored children but tried to draw the line at DYING for the sake of a child with a Pit Bull, a Concerned Staff Member of decency who loves Pit Bulls but didn't fancy performing CPR on Father Christmas, and a Service Dog Pit Bull who unwittingly nearly snuffed poor Santa before he had even had the chance to draw his Ventolin inhaler and suck lustily on it.



Oh these Pit Bull Parents! Never a dull moment! Merry Christmas, one and all! Merry bloomin' Christmas!!!



Despite statements from the manager,  according to the spotlight agenda driven parents of...here goes...Abcde, they are gloating that this "Bad Santa" and the elf has been fired.  Got to love their concern for other people with health conditions! 

Here's the spin from Pup-cake's kitchen!



FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 


Orange County Grinch disguised as Santa attempts to ruin Christmas 
Little girl with autism is turned away from Santa because of pit bull service dog 


Mission Viejo, California, US November 30, 2014  


A little girl with autism waited patiently in line today to meet Santa; not to ask Santa for anything but to ask Santa what he wanted himself for Christmas.

Autism is accompanied by many sensory issues, included self-harm behaviors and feeling overwhelmed at times by lights, sounds, especially when waiting; Pup-cake the service dog’s job is to intervene in those moments.

A family should be celebrating tonight the accomplishment of a child who waited over thirty minutes (Waiting for thirty minutes is not an accomplishment!) today at The Shops in Mission Viejo to meet Santa. To her dismay, Santa was afraid of her service dog, a sweet pit bull with as patient a disposition as Abcde, only to be turned away due to what we can only assume is the influence of BSL (breed specific legislation). (ASSUME is right, because BSL is not legal in this state, yet.  According to the testimony of the manager, ASSES are exactly what you made of yourself, and you are responsible for upsetting your child.) After the Santos family offered to remove the dog from the area, the building, Santa still refused to see the child; sending her away heartbroken leaving a family to comfort a child instead of celebrating her accomplishments.

The family is dealing with the law-breaking Santa imposter (is he anything like the imposter service dog and your imposter outrage?) and his Elf assistant, and has contacted Simon Property Group, and the management at The Shops at Mission Viejo; their goal is primarily and always to educate and inform those ignorant of the American Disabilities (allergies, anyone?) Act to ensure there are no more victims. They will also be reaching out to Noerr Programs Corporation.

Tonight, in the hopes of reigniting the holiday spirit in a crushed child, I ask one favor. 

#savePupcakesChristmas#savePupcakesChristmas

Please get out your best Elf costumes, your Santa hats, your beards, your jingle bells and reindeers and bring on the holiday cheer!  Let’s rally together and show Abcde that the REAL Santa, in fact, LOVES her and her dog. Then she can consume these videos in her time in her own home.

Please share your videos using #savePupcakesChristmas and share to your social media. Instagram, Twitter, Facebook – we’ll find them!  Yes, Abcde, there really is a Santa Claus… and he LOVES Pup-cake.  (WE NEED SOME MORE ATTENTION, WE NEED TO STIR UP OUTRAGE WHERE THERE IS NONE!) 

#savePupcakesChristmas
How many of you will need your own emotional support Tiger to deal with the PTSD this creature will inspire?


This is only the second act.  What they may be fishing for, is their own reality series.  Stay tuned into the real Pit Nutter Circus, starring Pup-cake the fake service dog, Abcde, and some assorted attention hungry grifters.
