Cancel the Turt Alert

We just blew 80% of the R&D budget tracking down this image, so we here at WAYWTH hope (corporately) that this is the image in question. Even if it’s not, it’s the one we’re going to discuss.

Although a white short-sleeved turtleneck sounds alarmingly like something a young Tom Hardy, finest reluctant model of his generation, might be styled in, it’s our belief here at HQ that this garment is in fact a plain white tee. An undershirt, if you will, that has been twisted by position and circumstance, and the grace of the fates. (Read: It’s scrunched up.)

Unfortunately for young Tom Hardy, the t-shirt’s sleeve has revealed the truth of his folly: arguably the shittiest of his many shit tattoos. Possibly his first tattoo, this feisty leprechaun — coincidentally, also the monicker awarded to the penis of the WAYWTH art director’s first lover — is the mascot/logo for the American university of Notre Dame.

This brings up so many related questions: Why Notre Dame? As reported, Tom Hardy, finest mama’s boy of his generation, honors his mother’s Irish heritage with this monstrosity — it is notre dame after all — but in that case, why not something ... actually Irish? Instead of something that categorically annoys and embarrasses Ireland? Who did this monstrosity upon Tom’s tender young arm meat, and why didn’t anyone in his life advise him against it? Why didn’t anyone say, no, Tom, anything but that, Tom? Also, what does the lettering above the leprechaun say? While he was getting the lettering covered up with some tribal design/sow’s ear, why didn’t the tattoo artist just throw in the leprechaun, as well?

While we can relate to your condition, @mispunt — Tom Hardy also puts us into a state of horny confusion, thirst with a dash of anger — we’re afraid that our answer for you has only produced more questions.
