Well, turns out there are quite a few people who are passionate enough about Arby's to get a tattoo inspired by the sandwich chain. According to Fox News, over 100 Arby's fans flocked to Port City Tattoo this weekend for their free ink. For nine and a half hours, people came in and out of the tattoo parlor, choosing from the list of Arby's-inspired images.
Fox reports that there were some obvious favorites from the approved list of images: a cartoon wolf with bulging eyes eating a sandwich, a club-sandwich eating panther, and a dagger with the words, "We have the meats." Oh boy!
If you're experiencing Arby's-tattoo envy, you can still access the tattoo designs here—just take them in your local tattoo parlor and get your own #SandwichForLife (but it won't be for free). Check out some of the Arby's tatts for yourself:

If you're happy and you know it, you clap your hands. If you love sandwiches and you want everyone else to know it, you get a sandwich tattoo. This is the way the world works, according to Arby's. The fast-food chain has tasked its biggest fans with permanently inking their bodies in the name of a free tattoo. That's right—you won't even get free food for your vote of confidence; you'll get a free, colorful image needled onto your person forever.
Maybe that's because of what happened with Domino's in Russia. In similar daredevilish fashion, the pizza joint offered people free pizza for life if they got a tattoo of the Domino's logo—then they retracted the deal when too many people did what they asked. So now you're left with Arby's second fiddle offer.
Still interested? Wow, mkay then: You should head to Port City Tattoo in Long Beach, CA, this Saturday, September 22, for the ink. The shop has a collection of more than a dozen sandwich- and Arby's-themed designs by tattoo artist Miguel ‘Uzi’ Montgomery. You can get one for free there the entire day. Can't make it there, and still interested in inking yourself with meat and bread? Mhmm, mhmm, wow: You can download images of the tattoos on Arby's site to bring into your local tattoo shop—where you will have to pay to get the design on your body.
The only way to end this is by saying: Please think long and hard about the decisions you make and how your grandmother would react to them. That's all.
