Everyone who wasn't raised under a rock should know the little piggy story, which the Gone to Market tattoo is inspired by. It is an incredibly clever concept that makes light of a rather tragic situation (I don't know what happened, but losing a toe can't be good).
By the looks of this, however, it looks like this little pig is as permanently gone as the Gone to Market tattoo is permanently inked. I think this brave soul should just get on with it and tattoo the rest of his toes as well, don't you think?
