This Awesome Ricky And Morty Green-Screen Tattoo Is Geekdom Perfection

Tattoos last forever, so why not get one that goes viral? One fan of the TV show Rick & Morty decided to take his tat to the next level by getting a picture of the titular characters staring into a green-screen portal. Now, the internet is helping the tattoo live up to its full potential.


Here's what the tattoo looks like in real life:

Of course, the real magic begins when the tattoo-wearer busts a green-screen app out on his phone and projects footage onto his skin:


The tattoo was designed by tattoo artist Roy Lee Rowlett, who explained his process to Buzzfeed news:

I sat down with a friend, Brian Lejman, and we went over cool ideas that would be practical with the green screen effect. Rick and Morty just made sense. I plan on doing more of these in the future. You saturate an area of skin with green, or any other color depending on how good you are with the software. Then use video editing software or an app on your phone to overlay a video.



The tattoo has quickly gone viral, which surprised but delighted Rowlett:

Honestly, I figured people would like it but not to this extent. It was pretty overwhelming honestly. It's been email after email. It was good to see that most of the responses were positive. A few negative ones but that's OK. I understand it's not something everyone's going to be into. My favorite responses were the ones from people that thought the tattoo actually moved in real life. They were pretty funny.

Twitter wanted to run out and get a matching tat IMMEDIATELY.





The green-screen tattoo idea isn't brand new, but it's being used to its fullest potential with Rick & Morty!








Of course, tattoos' color tend to fade over time, which could cause some serious problems when attempting to use the tattoo's green-screen. Hopefully that won't be the case here—the Rick and Morty tattoo is a national treasure.

Trump Made A Petty Dig At Taylor Swift During The Eagles' White House Visit—Because Of Course

In a brief speech, Trump acknowledged the Eagles' 40–22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs was “a little surprising,” a remark that appeared to reference the Chiefs' consecutive Super Bowl victories in 2023 and 2024. He then shifted focus to Swift, getting in a petty swipe drawing attention to Swift's presence at the game to watch her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, play tight end for the losing team.
