Now, I've seen tattoos similar to this one before but never been able to ask the person, why? I think Nate's explanation is a great one:
Well it had been something I'd been considering getting for quite some
time. Kind of stands for a perversion of the whole "happy, American/Disney dream"...You know...2.5 kids, house with a white picket
fence, trophy wife, a nice 9-5 job, basic materialism.. (which is what
Disney represents to me) etc. Sometimes behind that big shit eating
grin something morbid is going on. Moreover I just thought it would be
kind of weird and surreal. I plan on sleeving it out with the magic
kingdom in flames behind Mickey and tubes running from Mickey's torso to
an ice cube containing the frozen head of Walt Disney.
I cannot wait to see the rest of this when it's completed!

You're right. Looking at it I thought it was crass, but the explanation was awesome and really insightful. He should tattoo the explanation on his arm too! You totally have to track this guy so we can see progress on the sleeve...
