Self-proclaimed gonzo journalist Hunter S Thompson left behind him a legendary existence “too strange to live, too rare to die”, chronicled to chaotic perfection in the novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and its subsequent film adaptation.
Just as Thompson was a renegade in his own genre, tattoo artists were also pioneers in revolutionizing Thompsons work in the field of subcutaneous art.
Starting with Raoul Duke’s iconic grin, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, batland behind him and the Vegas strip reflected in his sunglasses, the Fear and Loathing tattoo turns into a cacophony of beloved images and references that only true die-hard fans will recognize and embrace. The rest of the world may be scratching their heads in confusion, which is exactly what Hunter S Thompson wanted.
Living on the edge is not for the faint of heart, and even less so for those who lack the panache to make it look good. Thompson is the godfather of neo-literary misfits, and his Fear and Loathing is a testament to all gonzos, from all walks of life, to let their freak flags fly. fly. Wherever you choose to get your Fear and Loathing tattoo, wear it with pride and a slightly maniacal smile – because you deserve to live a long and strange life, in the company of people who happily jumped into the passenger seat and drove along.
