WOTD: FINGERSTACHE




The finger mustache tattoo, otherwise known as the "fingerstache", is a tattoo of a stylized mustache on the index finger. The finger is then placed between the nose and the lips, making it appear that the wearer has a mustache. Its particular origin is unknown, however, the recent revival dates to the summer of 2003 in Columbus, Ohio, where a local tattoo artist began tattooing mustaches on friends' fingers as a joke.

I learned about the concept here. It is difficult to believe that this inane concept is actually a trend.

You should get a Fingerstache, Cullen.

It'll be a cool trick to whip it out in school.

The first time I did it, it would be cool.

Every other time after that it would be lame.
