Backstreet Boys vs. NYSNC – we’re reigniting the boy band battle that was waged in the late ’90s and early ’00s. There were many boy bands of that time period but none at the level of these two. We all had that one favourite member from each boy band – ours were Nick and JC. Tattoos are used as a way to express our true love for things (movies, music, family) both past and present. Just like The Beatles fandom still exists, there are still die-hard BSB and NSYNC fans out there – none more so than the people with the tattoos we’re about to show you. Since few women…

Stuck in lock down and unable to get tattooed, we’ve been spending a small fortune adding to our CD and DVD collection (we’re old, we know), and collecting tattoo images for future posts here on LWG. Aside from re-watching Dead Meat’s ‘Kill Count’ series, we’ve been enjoying listening to Brian Quinn host The R&H Beer Radio Program. We often find ourselves listening to the same 80s and 90s music, whether it be from our own collection or on the classics radio station, so it’s refreshing to listen to something new. There’s a great mix of songs we know, artists we know but are unfamiliar with most of their work, and…

Talk about perfect timing – it was announced this week that both the Invader Zim AND Rocko’s Modern Life movies will be added to the Netflix lineup this (Northern Hemisphere) Summer and today we are covering Invader Zim fan tattoos. Furthermore, Invader Zim is the first show in Nickelodeon Month to not be about 90s nostalgia; we’re moving into a new millennium in Nickelodeon programming. The first season of Invader Zim ran from 2001 to 2002 but, much like Hey Arnold’s final season, season 2 of Invader Zim took almost four years to air in its entirety. The dark comedy faced similar issues to that of Ren + Stimpy, and…

A pair of dysfunctional 40-year-olds who still live at home with their newly blended families – Step Brothers has become a cult comedy classic since its 2008 release. Somehow Dale and Brennan (played by John C. Reilly and Will Ferrell) just never grew up which makes for such a quotable film filled with many ridiculous moments, from the sleepwalking, to the bunk beds incident, and that front yard fight. If you’re a fan of both Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly then a Step Brothers tattoo is a must. Grab a plate of microwave nachos and a big, tall glass of Powerade, and sit down to enjoy this selection of…

Lotus Biscoff are a cinnamon cookie created in 1932 in a local bakery in the town of Lembeke, Belgium. Lotus Bakeries, the namesake for the company, is still family owned to this day. Originally just a cookie, the brand has expanded their product line to include a cookie butter and ice cream. Both the cookies and the spread (both smooth and crunchy varieties) are vegan friendly. Biscoff spread was initially a recipe created for a television show competition. The woman behind the new creation worked with Lotus to develop the perfect cookie butter recipe. We aim to learn something new everyday – today it was that Lotus Biscoff ice cream…

The Wolf Man is a 1941 American horror film and is now considered to be a classic Universal picture. The film was a success and was followed by a further four sequels. Unlike many other monster films (or even Disney) The Wolf Man wasn’t inspired by, nor was it an adaptation of, an existing literary piece. Like vampires, if someone were to be attacked by a werewolf and survive, they themselves would then turn into a werewolf. In the decades since the film’s release, depictions of werewolves have all been loosely based on the Wolf Man character. If you’re looking for an artist to depict the original Wolf Man in…

Legendary cartoonist, Jim Davis grew up on a farm with 25 cats. Do you think that inspired his work in any way? Davis’ most well-known cartoon strip was originally titled Jon in 1976 but was changed to Garfield when the strip went into nationwide syndication in 1978. Garfield has since been printed daily since June 19, 1978. Garfield is known for being a manipulative cat that loves coffee and food (lasagne in particular), but hates Mondays and diets. When he’s not constantly insulting his owner, Jon Arbuckle, hes’ kicking Odie the beagle off the table, or mailing Nermal the cat to Abu Dhabi. In the past 40-plus years, Garfield has…
