This tattoo was on a very sweet woman in Hunt Valley, MD. She said that she got a Pooh+Tigger waffle iron for Christmas and took the box and herself immediately into the tattoo shop and got the tattoo of Pooh right from the image on the box.
I have a Winnie The Pooh tattoo, too, and while she tried to argue that mine had better coloring, I swore her into the ground that she had the superior Pooh tattoo. It is in fact the best that I have ever seen.

(And no disrespect to her at all on any level, you know, but please note her shoes towards the bottom of the frame: These are, like, third or fourth generation argyle ALife slip-on copies... Everyone knows the story, right? ...ALife came out with argyle slip-ons in 2000, and Vans sued them in 2001, stating that the ALife's argyle infringed on the classic and copy written Vans Checkerboard pattern, which is unreal because Vans had a copy write on just that exact size of two color square checkerboard that they use, whereas ALife was using a five color argyle pattern that was based on a much much larger diamond shape. Alife had to deal with the lawsuit for two years before Vans finally dropped it, only to release verbatim exact copies of ALife's argyle slip-ons a year after that... and then Payless Shoes copied them and at this point argyle slip-on shoes are literally available in every single cheap/bootleg/discount shoe selling establishment in the westernized world. Litterally... Go Vans! ...and again, no disrespect to the woman in the photo, I only raise the point to check in on how far this shoe style has gone since Vans was so incorrectly and flagrantly claiming that ALife violated in the first place... Again, GO VANS!)
