  • holy shit

  • looks like depp not thompson!!! fucking poser

  • what was that song who was it by?

  • @bob1234tt tom waits

  • its pretty tight

  • this is just poopy poop...

  • that movie is fiction based on actual events, it's not a documentary. hmmmm, fiction based on actual events, sounds like Gonzo to me. Ever read Bukowski. Almost everything he wrote was about himself, yet almost everything he wrote was fiction...

  • That's so fucking gay, if your gonna get a Hunter Thompson tat, get one of him, not some fag dressed up as him. Laser that shit off and get the real deal dumbass.

  • blah blah blah....

  • Tom Waits kicks ass.

  • thought it was gonna be a hunter tat,not johnny depp. i guess what he wants to say with a hunter tat is "I do drugs,dont hire me."

  • blah blah blah....

  • oH,YOU JUST GO AN PISS OFF THEN,YA CRAZY BASTARD! kISSES!

  • @SgtBastard101 you whats so fuckin funny about people like you. is your guys attitude towards a certain tattoo. any fuckin tattoo thats shows on your body when your wearing clothes basically says that. if your so fucking worried about a job don't get fuckin tattooed period. or magicly grow a pair and get some tatts for yourself and not take life so seriously. this tattoo kicks ass by the way. i have a giant gonzo written across my arm. amongst my other 20 or 30 tattoos. GONZO for life bro.

  • Great tattoo....full stop.Hunter would of laughed his ass of at this bitchy war of words....by the way, I have a tattoo that was drawn by Ralph Steadman of Hunter S Thompson......arrhhhhh we won't go there! Starting to sound like a thesis....Rip Hunter!

  • I think it was pretty great awesome tattoo and Tom waits is always a plus and to all the other people below the alter ego of duke was him indeed but he didnt always tell the truth in his work and its really hard to find whats fact and fiction so just shut up Depp or not its still a HST tattoo

  • and a great one at that!

  • Fuckin awesome.

  • it is nice. and i understand its more so about "the meaning behind" the art. but it isnt a HST tattoo. and i have to agree its more of a Raul Duke tattoo. and plus, its a picture of Depp. which to me seems like a tribute to Depp and what a great job he did portraying the good Doctor. when i see this tattoo, i dont think of Hunter at all. i think of Fear and Loathing starring Johnny Depp. and it seems that is what most people think and are going to think.

  • right....but none of that really matters if it's not the opinion of the guy wearing it. You guys don't realize that a "HST" tattoo doesn't even have to have a picture of him in it at all. If it is based on his work, and incorporates elements that relate to him, then it's a tribute to him, and therefor is a "HST" tattoo....sorry if the terminology confuses you....but that happens a lot with people that aren't familiar with a certain industry or practice....

  • but the problem is HST and the depp film are two very very different things.

    this a a tribute to the film. and all those madly self loving teen drug fiends who relate/identify with a film, which in reality isn't a good representation of hunter as a person or a writer.

  • This is not a Hunter S. Thompson tribute, but a Johnny Depp tribute. As I see it

  • nope...if it was a Johnny Depp tribute, he would just be dressed as Johnny Depp, not as someone else....there are lots of great Johnny Depp pics out there that can be referenced for a Johnny Depp tribute....

  • the tattoo is anyway from a picture of depp

  • How does one "dress as Johnny Depp"? Either way, it isn't Hunter, but an actor playing a character from a book written by Hunter. It's incorrectly titled, I don't care how you slice it.

  • how lame at least make it hunter!

  • well...my Zappa tattoo is also an artists rendition...but not everyone knows enough about art to be able to appreciate something like that....

  • Sweet tattoo but that's not Hunter Thompson.

  • do you know how many people have a tattoo of Jesus that isn't really Jesus....

  • No I don't, but people know what Thompson looks like. Personally if I wanted to immortalize a literary legend on my skin, I'd go for the real person. It's kinda like when the Scottish made a statue of Mel Gibson instead of William Wallace. Good work though matey.

  • wow a tattoo of jonny depp....what a prick, does he even know who HST is?

  • do you know who he is any better just because you wouldn't have gotten this tattoo....nope....sorry to burst your bubble, but he wanted something more recognizable, and HST is pretty ugly....

    Most HST tattoos I've seen were from the movie....

  • I have a GONZO tattoo my friend and have been reading his books about 20years...real fans know.

  • and everyone just thinks you are into the muppets.....so I guess you're both retarded....haha

    I have a tattoo of Frank Zappa on the toilet, so you can't tell me anything about real fans....

  • Frank Zappa....wow...is it on your forehead to show people how much of a fan you are?

  • no....it's on my leg....why would I get a tattoo on my forehead?...

    that's a horrible idea....

  • zappa on the crapper, that is a pretty sweet tatoo. I hope for you sake it looks better than this a-holes crappy rendition of HST...it doesn't look like Hunter or J. Depp...

  • Then they weren't Hunter Thompson tattoos. They were Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas tattoos or Raoul Duke tattoos. This isn't a Hunter Thompson tattoo. Get over that fact. All these people posting here aren't wrong by saying that, no matter how childish you act in response.

  • my responses are logical, not childish....

  • No, not if you'll continue to act like you're the smart one and everyone else is an idiot. You simply can't come to grips with the fact that the piece isn't of HST. Your arguements of "logic" have failed over and over and you refuse to see why.

  • nope....it is a tatoo of Hunter S Thompson....that's who Jonny Depp was playing in the movie. This would be a lot easier if you guys knew anything about art...

  • nope....it is a tatoo of Hunter S Thompson....that's who Jonny Depp was playing in the movie. This would be a lot easier if you guys knew anything about art...

  • Wow, now I know nothing of art. I guess all these years as a tattoo artist, illustrator and cartoonist have been a figment of my imagination. You're the only one here who thinks this nonsense, and now you're insulting everyone's ability to understand art, when art has zero to do with the point, that being that you're a complete idiot.

  • i have to say....this is really fun....keep it up....i can type dumb answers all day...

  • For the record, Depp is not playing Hunter S. Thompson but Raul Duke, a character created by Hunter and later used as an alter ego. The tattoo is, clearly, a picture of Dedd. He may be "dressed up" different, but if anything it's a tribute the movie Fear and Loathing, not a tribute to Hunter S. Thompson.

  • duke is thompson

  • how lame at least get the HUNTER photo not the depp tat?!

  • "do you know who he is any better just because you wouldn't have gotten this tattoo....nope....sorry to burst your bubble, but he wanted something more recognizable, and HST is pretty ugly...."

    That says it all.. This dude dont give a fuck about anything, and is a prick. You obviously dont give a FUCK about the true meaning of Gonzo.

  • Yeah, but we aren't talking about journalism, we are talking about tattoos....

  • hes gonna regret getting that

  • yeah....I mean, who would want to go through life with an awesome tattoo....

  • yea its a good drawing. but its like getting val klmer instead jim morrison. or micheal pitt instead of kurt cobain

  • haha....there are a million people with Jesus tattooed on them, and no one even know what he really looked like, but everyone still recognizes it....this tattoo is more about the meaning of it, and about good art....it's not about the picture used for reference....(and I'm sure people have gotten Val as Jim)

  • wow, sweet tattoo of johnny depp as hunter s. thompson.

  • Yeah... his body, his choice...

    Bold moves... nice work.

  • It's a well drawn but ultimately laughable tattoo. It is Johnny Depp. You want a tattoo of the Doc, get one of the Doc. A photo, or even a Ralph Steadman illustration.

  • or....do it just the way it was done, and realize that's it's an awesome piece of art either way....yep....sounds good to me....

  • Earlier to likened people's issue to comparing a Jack Sparrow tattoo to a Johnny Depp tattoo and which is which. If we're going to get all anal here, this would be a RAOUL DUKE tattoo. You want people to stop saying stuff? Then educated yourself and stop acting like a snob.

  • agreed.

  • that guy came into the shop i work at in clio, mi.! glad i got to see the work!

  • that's awesome!.....how did it look?....we haven't seen it healed....

  • it looked pretty damn good to me.

  • ok....is a tattoo of Jack Sparrow from the movie a tattoo of Johnny Depp, or the character he's playing....

    Don't you have anything better to do....haha....i guess not...

  • uhh.. thats a tattoo of johnny depp

  • no that's a tattoo of Johnny Depp playing Hunter S Thompson....but you should know that. Yeah, they decided to go with a more recognizable image....so get over it....

  • yes i realize he played HST, pal... i wonder if the dude you tattood did, give him the real thing man..check your premesis

  • oh...and I don't do tattoos, I shoot videos. But you'd know that if you did the tiniest bit of homework, likereading the description...

  • i didnt realize that i needed to research your work// you must be important... to begin with, i was just stating the obvious.

  • who cares if he is he more is recognizable than HST.

    Its like pouring me some Jose Cuervo and telling me its Patron.

  • they both get ya drunk, right.....

  • I love these videos! Thanks nicufluf for posting them!

  • nice.

  • Man...I cant wait until I get some video action!!!
