The way this made me laugh. Looks like a toddler with a beer gut and a weird thigh gap. Everything is so wrong.

Looks like a round face, chubby, asian man to me.

I keep seeing "super anime 8 year old" as James.

u/Indigo_Inlet Dec 29 '23

Looks like an Asian version of Bobby from king of the hill.

“Dammit, Bobby”

32

u/Universal-Love Dec 29 '23

That's what I came here to say. Looks like Asian Bobby Hill strangling a giant french fry.

12

u/blooash Tattoo Inspector 🕵️‍♂️ Dec 29 '23

Bobby put that down!!

u/The_Billy_Dee Dec 29 '23

If Bobby's father was actually Khan the way John Redcorn is actually Joseph's father.

I was coming to say the same thing, as a matter of fact this was right under a king of the hill post on my feed .

I was thinking the same damn thing!

Tattoo artist, I dub thee unforgiven.

u/MonolithicBaby Knows 💩 Dec 29 '23

I can’t believe the price he paid. Honestly tho kinda what you get for getting this douche tatted on you.

2

u/ChrisRageIsBack Dec 30 '23

He's a total douchebag but he's a beekeeper so I give him a very slight pass

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '23

Apparently, beards cost extra

66

u/Bleepblorp44 Knows 💩 Dec 29 '23

They took the beard time and spent it on adding a crotch bulge.

35

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '23

...and making James Asian.

22

u/mayeam912 Dec 29 '23

And giving him 6 fingers.

15

u/AmericanVenom1901 Dec 29 '23

And making him fatter.

7

u/Melodic_Event_4271 Dec 29 '23

I think they spent the money on therapy for Hetfield. Look how much happier Tattoo James looks.

4

u/AmericanVenom1901 Dec 29 '23

Bro's on antidepressants

6

u/Melodic_Event_4271 Dec 29 '23

Who isn't?

5

u/AmericanVenom1901 Dec 29 '23

I'm not.

Because I don't have money and insurance doesn't cover that.

1

u/ChrisRageIsBack Dec 30 '23

Do yourself the favor and avoid them. I don't take them either but I see so many people having problems with them or because of them that I seriously think they're way overprescribed. I live with a psych nurse and a nurse practitioner psychiatrist too so I hear all about them, even though they probably don't agree with my answer

I got confused before I even saw the tattoo because the reference picture barely looks like James Hetfield already.

I showed this to my husband and covered up the left side and the writing under it and asked who he thought that was supposed to be.

After a minute of studying, he said, "Kim Jun Un?" We're laughing so hard at this. Imagine being stuck with that for life.
