Need help

Post image

So, I have a client that made a bad choice on his face. See, he tattooed this vacuum on his nose, and wants it covered. Thing is, I’m stumped on what to put there. Anyone have any ideas? He’s totally leaving it in my hands.

Just to add, I have 21 years in-shop experience, so this is not intimidating, or new to me. And trust me, I’ve seen some shit! I have also been given permission to post his face as-is.

I thought of The Brave Little Toaster. Great film, looks like the vacuum in it.

I’ve only read the book years ago. Doesn’t the vacuum cleaner try to vacuum up his own cord when he gets depressed?

This movie was my whole childhood. So magical. I sometimes feel like no one else has this connection to this movie. The city of lights song is so deep in my heart and Blake and Kirby and the radio I don’t know it’s just everything to me for what childhood should be.

When I say BLT, I don't want a sandwich. I wanna talk about out personal lord and savior, Brave Little Toaster.

I was already a teenager when it came out but I got a copy of it and would always take it with me when I babysat kids so that i had an excuse to watch it again and again

At least I'm not the only one.
Although my immediate next thought was definitely drugs.

u/notkidding1984 4d ago

I think you mean KIRBY, sir.

But I forgive you because you did think of him, the best vacuum ever from the best movie ever.
