Toxic Avenger Tattoos Are The Only Good Thing To Come From New Jersey
We’re giving a huge shout out to our favorite dump-dwelling crime-fighter, New Jersey’s first superhero, the Toxic Avenger.
I sure talk a lot of shit about my current living situation in the state of New Jersey. Not to rehash it, but this place sucks. However, there is one glimmer of hope, one point in which I can take pride in as a temporary New Jerseyan. And that’s the fact that the first superhero from New Jersey is one of the best ever created in a world that has way too many superheroes. I’m speaking, of course, about the Toxic Avenger. It’s high time we did an article praising Toxie and unleashed a nice collection of Toxic Avenger tattoos upon the eyes of our readership.
The film became a cult classic and is now referred to as the film that built the house of Troma, Kaufman’s b-movie studio that has been turning out a slew of other gross-out cult classics since. So popular was the film that it spawned three sequels and an animated children’s show, which makes no sense given the highly adult nature of the source material. The movie features exaggerated violence and gore coupled with endless jokes written to appeal to only those with the worst tastes.
These Toxic Avenger tattoos just make us hungry for more Troma tattoos. Keep your eyes peeled, as we may just have to circle back to round up tattoos of lesser known Troma films, such as Sgt. Kabukiman or Class of Nuke ‘Em High.
