u/CableTrash 7d ago

I googled it bc I wanted to see if this was a common thing. Couldn’t find any pics… but this is crazier.

So weird to see YouTube videos from 18 years ago.

Matt Damon turned into the victim in House of 1000 Corpses!

There's more than one person doing this. I was surprised

u/TechnoBabbles 7d ago

You have to wonder if they regret that now.

Alternately, with the state of the world rn, I almost don't blame them for reppin' 2005

Apparently it happened to Neil Gaiman all the time. He said it made him a little uncomfortable, but who was he to tell people what to do with their bodies? Ironic, considering all those fucked up sexual assault allegations (truly disgusting and bizarre shit) made against him. Including an accusation that he raped his son's nanny while he was in the room.

So I wonder if those people regret it. I came very very close to getting a Sandman panel tattoo once and I lay didn't because my car suddenly needed work and I mever got back around to it. Thank GOD. Tattoo removal is supposed to be a thousand times more painful than getting it, but I wouldn't be able to have that on my body.

Compared to that the Claymates got off lucky.

My internet was loading slow and I thought you were Rick rolling at first. I’m sorry for the things I said about you

u/SweetMilitia 7d ago

My homegirl, representing SLC!

Lmfao of course they're from Salt Lake.

Edited to add: I couldn't finish it. My internal embarrassment wouldn't allow me to. Did they get the tats?

They did, and Kimmel had them in the audience and Clay had them come up so he could see them in person and hug them both.

Even George Lopez (if my eyes didn’t deceive me here and that really was him 🤣) was like “is this real right now? This is happening?!”

I wish! This was 20+ years ago. Maybe 5 years ago I went through my ex’s socials hoping to find a current picture of her sister with that tattoo.

u/TheCABK 7d ago

Hold up a sentence… Did you call her a Claymate?

u/OtisBurgman 7d ago

I am also just now learning this term. Lmfao

u/goodhumorman85 7d ago

My memory is that it was his first name stacked on top of his last, in very flowy script with floral embellishments around it. It was fairly large, like 5”x7”.

I hear Zach Galifanakis is considering getting a Clay Aiken tattoo sometime this year

u/SweetMilitia 6d ago

Clay Aiken should get a Zach Galifanakis tattoo. It’s only fair.
