There are oodles of ways to show your political pride. You can wear a button, a T-shirt, or a hat. You can layer another bumper sticker on your car, stick a placard in your window, or throw an embroidered pillow on your couch. But that kind of flair is ever so temporary. True believers brand their partisan allegiances into their flesh for all eternity.

Below, a look at some of the more daring, bewildering, and, well, yuge tattoos people got this presidential election cycle.
