Or Maybe I Should Just Get My Boyfriend's Name Tattooed on Me in Word Art

So recently, for no reason other than the fact that I was bored, I decided to browse the Microsoft clip art installed on my computer and choose which image I would use if I were being forced to get a clip art tattoo.  As you may have guessed, this turned out to be a very challenging task, because clip art is unbelievably cheesy. With that in mind, if you are ever forced at gunpoint to get Microsoft clip art tattooed on your body, here are some guidelines you may want to keep in mind.

First off, avoid searching for stars, hearts, and shamrocks. These were the things I looked for first, because I imagined there would be plenty of choices available; plus, how tacky could a simple shape get?

Answer: very.  I combed through many results, and rejected them all on various counts.  Some were too '90s;

others, too tacky;

still others, too computer-y;

and some were all three.

However, I had some luck when I searched for a couple of other generic tattoo shapes, like snakes and anchors. Although I would not personally want any of those things as a tattoo, there were definitely some simplistic illustrations available that might work for someone else.

Sure, some color wood be nice, but you could do a lot worse (see "iLuvU" above).

If you're religiously inclined, I think you'll be disappointed with what Microsoft Office has to offer, unless maybe this is the kind of thing you want permanently on your body:

Or, for the Jews:

Also, bad news for Toa.  The search term "tribal" brings up a pretty pathetic design that I'm ranking NSFG--Not Suitable for Gladiators.

I'm still undecided on what I would get for myself, but to conclude this post I'd like to make some Clip Art Tattoo suggestions for a few of my fave celebs.  For Miley Cyrus, I recommend something nice and youthful to offset scandal and remind people she's a kid:

And since Diddy is currently trying to break into the acting biz, I think a little symbol of his new passion would be very tasteful and appropriate.

And finally, for Tyra Banks--who must get tired of reminding us all how amazing she is--I recommend the following:

She's lucky--not many people have the forehead real estate to pull that off.

What about those LAME ASS stick figures? screen beans? Those could be a sweet tattoo.

Also I think whoever invented word art should get something tattooed on him IN word art.

later suckas I'm going to canada

Just remember you're an aunt now and don't want to put the idea that tattoos might be encouraged in your family. Hope you really aren't considering getting one.

Then Tyra can be the FIRST PERSON EVER WHEN SHE STARTED MODELING AT 15 to get a blue ribbon tattoo!

or whatever nonsense she says.

Clearly the best way to increase traffic on a blog is to write about Miley Cyrus, Athletic Trainers and fonts. Who knew these were the pressing topics of the decade?

If there were a way to combine all three into one blog post, I think it would melt the Internet.
