Freaky or Fabulous? Marc Jacob's SpongeBob Tattoo

April 16, 2008

There has been talk — not here — but around, that Marc Jacobs has been a bit overexposed as of late. We have witnessed the New Yorker evolve, as well as his clothes, and evolution is a good thing. However, his very public visit to rehab (again) last year and his new found beefcake physique is a side of MJ we've seen a lot of recently. He just did a shoot with French actress Elodie Bouchez for T:Style where the two wear his Spring collection and just kinda hang out and look fabulous. But I couldn't stop staring at his SpongeBob tattoo. And is that an M&M tattoo too? We know he has a serious crush on the spongy yellow cartoon but this strikes me as a bit, odd. I expect designers to be odd, though, so I'm saying it's fabulous. You?

Hmmm...not tattoos that I'd choose, but then again, I don't like most tattoos that I see on people. To each their own!

Definitely not "fabulous." But come on, it's Marc Jacobs. He can do whatever he wants it'll still be cool

Marc can do whatever he wants because he has a fun, quirky sensibility. These tattoos are not for everyone!

Loved that he carried a LV tote with Spongebob on it during his fashion week show! It shows he doesn't take himself too seriously and that he lives for himself and not for what others think of him! Work it MJ.

I think its fab. Tre fab even... The thing with tattoos is that it's YOUR personal choice, its YOUR body, so who really gives a damn what others think? And that my friends, is fabulous!!! =)

I just feel like calling Marc Jacobs tacky at any time, in any circumstance, is blasphemy. ;)

It's neither freaky or fab...it's more funny and I'm sure if I knew him personally it would totally fit his personality. That's a plus of being a fashion designer for a living you get to take "risk" that the whtie collar worker does not!
