When E-Rock revealed that Carlin also told him to 'kick them in the nuts,' De Rosa said something along the lines of, "No, I know that's his go-to phrase. It's not like I thought he was giving me this sagely advice personally." Bull shit, Joe De Rosa.
Joe Derosa is a huge fan of George Carlin. He called into his friend's college radio show and they talked for about 7 minutes. George Carlin told Joe Derosa to "Keep Kicking Them In The Nuts". So that was his inspiration for the roman font faced KKTITN. It looked k k k ish so he tried to fix it. He tried to "fix" it by outlining it and adding something that might be a microphone instead of highlights that the artist wanted. The resulting tattoo is more of what Joe DeRosa wanted than what the tattoo artists wanted.
I don't get anything about this (aside from the meaning, which had to be explained, as I, too, can see it reading KITTEN on first glance).
If you're going to get straight lines, get straight lines. I can't speak for the outline around the letters, as it's clearly healing. But it doesn't look straight. The lines on the lettering are wonky. The K's are not identical (they are right next to each other!), and that N is an abortion. Was there even a stencil? Was this free-handed by some kitchen-wizard?
That is really horrible. It might look a bit better once it heals, but I wouldn't count on it. That is going to be hard to cover up too since it is thick black lines.
In leather class in middle school we had to pick something to make. I picked a pocket comb sheath. I stamped a snake on one side and I don't remember on the other. The stamping was just a collection of dark dots in the shape of a snake. When it was finished it looked literally like a flat rectangular turd. That's what Joe's tat reminds me of.
Tats are cheat codes for sex. Doesn't matter how good they are. You get them for the same reason girls get implants. Because it makes you more interesting for a week or two.
Derosa is terrible. Why do they keep promoting him? every time he is on the show he is ridiculously unfunny. Unless he is a punching bag, they need to throw more punches at his stupid fucking mouth.

That's the "piece of art" they were guffawing over? You get what you barter for, I suppose.

Hah right....that's terrible I guess the guy who did it really needed the endless plugs
7 richardc-uk 2013-07-18
Someone should keep kicking Joe Derosa in the nuts. Forever.

Wtf??? That is supposed to be a fuckin mic? Looks like a cigarette. Laser that piece of shit off.

Not sure why the outline was added.
And, why the cross-hatching on the left side?
There is NOTHING good about this.

The kerning is all wrong too. Look how far the first K is from the second, and compare it to how far the first T is from the I.
1 rjl_ 2013-07-18
You know, I assumed so... but, of course, I had to look again. Ugh.
Jesus, Joe...

No, it won't look any better. Not possible. All other nonsense aside, those letters... Oof.
