Can anyone match the tattoos to the L Mag editor/drinker? (Descriptions courtesy editor-in-chief Jonny Diamond.)

1.

A. Buffoonish Canadian drunk who makes up grammatical rules whenever challenged.







2.

B. Self-loathing Long Islander who's never afraid to use the first-person. Also a drunk.







3.

C. Skittery Maine native who dreams in autophagous clauses. [(Likes to; drink)].









4.

D. Red-cheeked Massachusetts wino predisposed to the ALL CAPS key.













5.

E. Maine-born art director fond of beer and icy stares.










I had to make the pictures small because skin is so ugly up close. They still look a little gross, though. Also, no bonus points for guessing what parts of the body these are on, but they're all G-rated. Feel free to make fun of us for being self-indulgent and hairy, but make sure to submit a guess as well.

Match the tattoo to the L Mag editor (totally unbiased descriptions courtesy our editor-in-chief Jonny Diamond):

We had to fire Mr. Frunk, he kept coming into the office sober.

Coincidentally, I'm compiling pictures of the sales staff's piercings for my Tumblr.

I know that single adapter one is the music guy because I saw it when he punched that dude. And you are supposed to remember tattoos because it helps catch people later.

One of these looks fake. (Hint: It also looks like an ice cream cake from Carvel)
