Ted Cruz Tattooed Badass Rock Star [Artist Id'd / fR Mentioned]

UPDATE: The images appear to be the work of a Los Angeles artist Leonard Sabo, who posted an attempt at the design back on March 9. I’ve reached out to Sabo for comment, and will update when I hear back. His political and artistic views are, uh, interesting, to put it mildly, most offensive of which is that he seems to think Cruz could actually be president some day.

"Actually, kinda cool looking,” wrote one Free Republic commenter. “Maybe we can all get tats and stuff and form a ‘gang’. Call it the Patriot Gang or something. Put some drive-by fear into the liberals.”

Maybe!

“The Ted Cruz posters make me want to go get a giant eagle tattoo,” tweeted another Cruz supporter.

Heh.

So the guy trolls FR looking for a story. Can’t really blame him. I mean how many times can you write about how cool Obama looks in his mom jeans?

youngest son and his bud...got tattoos of our family motto on their right back shoulders.

My eldest son and I got identical tattoos of our Scottish family clan badge on our right shoulders over ten years ago. My younger sons have told me that they're going to follow suit as soon as they turn 18.

I never thought at the time that I was starting a family tradition, but it's kinda cool.

Despite having his head photoshopped onto the type of body that Cruz supporters live in mortal terror of on a daily basis, the reactions online to the makeover from some on the right have been rather positive.

I agree. And I don’t think that poster will have the effect they wanted.

Yup it IS cool! That's why I am going to get one. Probably my oldest son as well. Family tradition.

Sadly we are lowland Scot...Stole horses for the MacDonald clan is what I have been told. Supposedly we were granted the land that is now Edinburgh but I wouldn't try to make a claim, LOL.

My Scot ancestors were from the lowland border counties. They were well known reivers (cattle rustlers), and on the King's list of 'unruly' clans.

Aye...

I think I made my msg to ;All - so if the shoe doesn’t fit then don’t try to put it on.

It’s just that a lot of times when I mention liking or supporting somebody .. there are a few who take great pleasure in calling me names; etc.

So .. actually, the note was to “them”.
