YouTube's Best Tats

Brett_Erlich

Viral Video Film School is a recurring segment on the weekly television show infoMania. In each episode of VVFS, Professor Brett Erlich teaches you valuable skills in the discipline of Viral Video making. So sit down, take notes, and try not to piss him off.

    • A friend of mine has a tramp stamp that says "Get Up Offa That Thang" in really flowery calligraphy. I ask to see it every time we hang out and get a nice little chuckle out of it.

    • Mattel says Tattoo Barbie allows kids to express themselves, but is it in a good way? Lets not forget about her buddy Pregnant Barbi. Did Mattel Toys go to far?

      what's even more disturbing is the artful arrangement of scattered clothes, strewn in a fit of passionate carelessness across the floor.

      Apparently Barbie likes to be on top? Or is that just BECAUSE she has the tramp stamp? Because everyone knows that Veterinarian Barbie is totally a bottom. However, there WAS a cowgirl barbie at one point...

      This guy is telling the truth. I have a tattoo and I regret it. The word pubes I wonder what she does in her free time. And dragon or blue blob? Looks like a piece of shit. I have a tattoo of a cougar becasue when I was 23 i hooked up with a cougar in palm springs. She was staying at this really cool place and I asked her where she got it and she said cityconcierge.com and then i messed up her who house and peaced out.

    • Some people's tats are seriously fucking retarded. To name a few: tribal tats, nautical starts, spider webs, flames, and pretty much everyone of the tats in this video. I agree with you birdieball but i must ask, is there any forethought AT ALL with some people getting these lame tats?

      So, Abstractics, what tribe are you from? Oh and even IF you do own the millions of other people who have the same tat as you don't so unfortunately you're lumped in with that group.

      Ihatethemall, i haven't got a clue as to why people get LAME ink done. You're one of the last of a dying breed of people who get ink done that's meaningful to them. Most of the rest of the population don't really have a rhyme or reason for it.

      have one on my back took 14 hours and another on my thigh from back in tha day and a new one starting Monday at 1:00pm. they all mean something and they'll be there forever (intentionally thank you). most folks who don't have ink don't understand it and probably never will but that's their choice. those of us who do, and for reasons other than fashion victim status, have our reasons and they are totally our own.

      there's no expectation of the ink-free understanding and even less care for their acceptance.

      personally, I wanted to get a tat when I was about 5 due to the ones my great granddad, granddad and dad all had from their time traveling the planet with the navy and the stories behind each one make them unique.

      a well done tattoo is a piece of art and will be a lasting memory while a bad tat is something you pay a whole lot of money to get rid of eventually.

      if you aren't certain it's something you want for ever why get it?

      mine are mine for life and I'm gonna enjoy my skin while I'm in it.

      who knows, maybe it's a cultural phenomenon that only applies to some of us who "need" to decorate ourselves. maybe we feel incomplete in some way.

      ...or maybe we're just not chickens.:)

    • given my minor tattoo phobia, this video really skeeved me out to a great degree. I don't understand how so many people can be so impulsively unintelligent.

      The forethought that this demonstrates is staggering.

      Keep up the good work! VVFS forever!

      I've heard of those corset piercings. My very outspoken, crude, intelligent, bio-major friend never hesitates to tell me of all of the splendid complications of every imaginable body-puncture.
