This gem was submitted by a reader. It's actually not that bad... technically it's good, and I get the funny "cowboy up" twist on phrasing. The floating hat is a little weird, but I've seen a million worse tattoos. It did get me into searching for some cowboy tattoos though, and look what I found!

Same artist or inspiration? I kind of like it...
However, there are some truly terrible cowboy tattoos out there, which I am happy to share with you.

I love his tiny feet! They're so dainty!

This poor cowboy only has one foot.

And this is from the anime series Cowboy Bebop, so it's a different kind of cowboy... but it's so terrible I had to share.
