Is this the ultimate “Cryptozoology” fan and the world’s only known sighting of a cryptotat!? Who is this dude?

Unlike the elusive cryptids around us, this phantom with the Cryptozoology love tattoo was photographed by the quick-eyed R. Stevens at a comic show in Toronto this past weekend.

Xeni Jardin at Boing Boing showed it to me first late last night, and I contacted R. Stevens for permission to post it here. Xeni’s going to do her own blog on this today at Boing Boing, but I have to honor this here too. Is it perhaps the only cryptotat known?

Visit R. Stevens’ original post on this here.

R. Stevens wrote: “I did not get this guy’s name, but really hope that someone on the internet can enlighten me! Coast to Coast AM listeners and Loren Coleman fans unite!”

Cool.

Are there other sightings of cryptozoology tattoos out there?

Update: Here is Xeni’s just posted blog on the tattoo.

Second update:

John Maynard writes, “I happen to know the identity of the fella with the cryptozoology tattoo. His name is Spencer Butts. He used to front a band here in Toronto called The Secret Handsnake. He’s also been an MC for the Wavelength Music Series. Here is his myspace.”

Thank you John.

For another cryptotat, look to the next blog.
