As regular readers will know, we’re usually fascinated by tattoos around here — whether they’re odes to famous works of art or a celebration of wonderful song lyrics. But we’ve got to tell you, this one has us stumped. Apparently some dude in Istanbul decided that it was a good idea to get a tattoo of Tom Hardy’s Bane character from The Dark Knight Rises based on some leaked photos from the set. Given the fact that the movie isn’t due out until next summer, and even when it is out, the guy might hate it, we hope that this is some kind of hoax. Also: Of all the characters in the film, why did he have to pick the one with the creepy headpiece? Every time we look at Bane, all we can think of is Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. That said, we’ve certainly seen people get even stranger ink in the name of pop culture. [@Tupacca via Badass Digest]
