18 of the most excellent tattoos for pop culture diehards
Tattoos are pretty much forever, so when you get one, it better be good. And by good, we mean pop culture-referencing.
While there's a tendency to get a tattoo meaning something significant -- like your mother's name, or Chinese characters *shudder* meaning "luck" -- we're in admiration of those who've used their bodies to pay tribute to their favourite modern day icons.
There's an inherent risk that a pop culture tattoo will stop being relevant at some point, so we're giving two thumbs up to these brave souls, who felt the fear and did it anyway.
Oh, and they're all from Australia too. The land of #yolo.
1. There's this magic moment from The Simpsons.
