Kudos to him for having fun with his disability.

I agree. What an excellent way to make the best of a bad situation.

[–]vFordring 1 point2 points ago

I think I would do the same.

Why would he chop his arm off so it would like a dolphin?

[–]allineedis42 3 points4 points ago

To get to the other side!

Nice original conte....ah wtf?

I don't think this is wtf, I think its a lovely thing to do.

[–]the_showerhead 20 points21 points ago*

Ok, I have to ask then, every post I've seen today has had one of the top comments saying "This doesn't belong in wtf." Now some of these I certainly agree with.

But this is a man's arm stump which he tattooed to look like a dolphin. If this doesn't belong here, then wtf does belong here? This isn't r/gore, it's r/wtf.

Instead of hiding it in shame, this person has exploited it in a way that shows others his bravery. If that's wtf then there are a lot of very shallow people on this planet.

[–]BobIV 1 point2 points ago

I think this comment is worthy of /r/wtf

[–]Yzzie_Khaos174 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Haha.

[–]DrumRobC[S] -4 points-3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

absolutely, but wtf was my very first reaction though. Maybe this could be in r/humanporn?

[–]kihadat 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No...it's not even WTF. It's just "nice tattoo."

[–]MilkTaoist 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No, this is the right subreddit. Sidebar just says "things that make you say WTF," so if your first reaction was WTF this unquestionably qualifies.

But people can speak with their upvotes and downvotes to say whether or not they think it belongs here.

[–]Yzzie_Khaos174 0 points1 point ago

That may be going a little far. I just thought it was admirable thing to do to make the best out of a bad situation.

This morning, I noticed my apples had already gone bad and thought "WTF!", but I'm not going to post a picture of rotten apples.

I don't know what to say, I'm stumped!

[–]taifoid 7 points8 points ago

I can't really say that tattoo serves much porpoise.

[–]allineedis42 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I keep fishing for a new pun. There is an ocean of opportunity here. I think this thread has turned into a redolphin' door of mediocrity.

Take your pick.

Shut your blowhole, and bottle nose those puns!

[–]L_Desdinova 4 points5 points ago

I'm usually not overly impressed with tats, but I find this amazing! One would have to be pretty damn stable mentally to be able to do this. Not sure I would be.

[–]pinkzebraprint 4 points5 points ago

THAT is lemonade

[–]allineedis42 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No, that's a dolphin. I can see how you got the two confused, though.

[–]taifoid 3 points4 points ago

When life hands you a lemon... turn it into a dolphin!

Says the dolphin. I have my eyes on you.

Nice to see people who aren't ho-hum, woe is me about it, and make the best of an accident.

I like the shark one that's floating around as a repost, as well.

I think it would have made a better Squidward.

I find it difficult to upvote almost everything from WTF. Then I realize that what is supposed to be here, and upvote things that make me regret I clicked on them.

Yeah, his name is Heine Braeck from Fredrikstad, Norway.

"... has been without an right arm since he lost it during a freak accident when he was 13."

That is neat as hell. I don't give a flying dolphin if it belongs on r/wtf or not. All I know is that I'm glad it ended up here so I can look at it.

[–]ForgettableUsername 0 points1 point ago

What are we looking at, here? Is this a stump or am I somehow looking at balls?

Not sure how this picture was taken off my Facebook, or if I know you in real life. But that is me. I'm an war veteran who was held captive by 3 taliban insurgents, and they proceeded to cut off my arm just below the shoulder. I got that tattoo the same day I got back from Iraq (About 4 years ago).

Last time this was posted there was a pun chain that went on.

My post was: Manatee shirt would not fit well on this.

Considering how common it is, we are probably going to see exclamation points many times in our lifetimes.
