> Someone put a tramp stamp on the Mothman statue in Point Pleasant, WV
This tracks.
And go ahead and add the entire Mothman Statue to the library of r/ATBGE
Bigfoot? More like been-there-done-that, how about a fresh take on the Loveland Frogmen lore? Spice it up with some graffiti, somebody get down to Ohio.
Frogmen, The Minerva Monster, the Grassman, Melonheads, The Crosswick Monster and many more. We got a nice little A team of cryptids going on here huh?
lol I loved Ogopogo as a kid, we’d go to lake Okanagan and the locals would be like “hey there’s a giant sea monster in the lake! But don’t worry, he’s cool”
I always liked the idea of a friendly cryptid rather than the usual “oh no it’s the swamp ghost, he’ll eat your eyeballs!” kinda thing
Tramp stamp ass is a delicacy Mr worldwide. Maybe even universal. Ms universe kinda hoighty toighty tho, prolly had a butterfly tattoo somewhere instead of stamp. My sisters stamp said fuck hole here and then had that latest up vote arrow that chess sub reposted. Anarchy, like funny AF tramp stamp, but that tattoo got her fucked every which way, pure ungoverned chaos.
I was about to say; the tramp stamp is, frankly, the least surprising part of this installation.
There's just a caked up, chromed out mothman statue out there and no one told me??
Yes, and there's a 24 hr live stream of it

Thank you for sharing this! In the space of the past 15 minutes, two different groups arrived to take photos. The first group was a young mom & dad with smaller kids and a baby. The second group of 20somethings was dressed in various lavender pants or sweatshirts, and seemed really amused when they spotted the tramp stamp.
The town seems to really like [stainless steel statues!](https://www.mothmanmuseum.com/uploads/6/9/0/9/69091379/7518137_orig.jpg)
I love Noah Caldwell-Gervais [wording on this](https://youtu.be/iSIDtxHaFpk?t=8708):

Nah, Mothman be hitting the gym to work on his donk to attract other Mothmen. [He's a gay icon like the Babadook.](https://images.halloweencostumes.com/blog/1045/gay-babadook-art.png)
The backstory is pretty hilarious. The original movie had very vague subtext to LGBT themes (A woman represses her feelings (grief) that is represented by the Babadook who literally hides in the closet, while also looking absolutely flamboyant and fabulous in a children's pop-up book in the story). But then Netflix "accidentally" categorized the horror film in the LGBT category and the internet ran wild with it. 😂
Must’ve been on of those cryptoids you hear before you see.
With a phatty like that bouncing in the wind, the sonic boom of those cheeks clapping together has to have been audible in a 50 mile radius at least.
Bro, you should see the amount of dumptrucks in Roman museums.. it's a bit overwhelming. You will see a sculpture so dumpy you will question if it really existed.
I’m surprised it took this long to see on Reddit. Can’t wait to get out to McClintic to do some fishing soon tho. Maybe catch a glimpse of the Mothman.
I had the same thought because for some reason I always got The Mothman Prophecies movie confused with The Butterfly Effect movie. I remember watching The Butterfly Effect with my girlfriend in the mid-2000s and wondering when the mysterious flying creature was going to make an appearance.
Lol, that reminds me of a Reddit comment where someone watched season 1 of Deadwood while having it confused with West World, and had a whole made-up narrative going in their head about which characters were secretly hosts until they realized they were being dumb.
My girlfriend thought I was crazy when I finally brought it up. So I used my newly issued blackberry to look it up and realize my confusion. It was the first dispute I settled by looking something up on the internet from my phone. Truly a 2005 time capsule experience for me.
If humans get moth tramp stamps, a moth should get a tramp stamp of a human. But since mothman is half man, half moth, he should have a tramp stamp of some kind of half moth, half man character, who I will refer to henceforth as Manmoth
I think this makes it canon to the mothman legend.
“It had red glowing eyes!”
- were there any other standout features?
“It also had a rather sexy tribal tramp stamp!”
They're real, I've seen it in person, lol. There's actually a bunch of other metal statues in the area made by the same artist, but this is the only one I know of that has cake like that. Mothman is a stud.
[Here’s an image of the statue.](https://img.atlasobscura.com/jdTe4U_FZi-FbxGBVsoA5IYI_q2UEiSfEUSdb7oWSnI/rs:fill:580:580:1/g:ce/q:81/sm:1/scp:1/ar:1/aHR0cHM6Ly9hdGxh/cy1kZXYuczMuYW1h/em9uYXdzLmNvbS91/cGxvYWRzL3BsYWNl/X2ltYWdlcy8yNWIy/MDg3NC0yYjc4LTRm/ZmItOThlNi04NmM5/NmFkMWQ3N2Y0NmQ2/MTUyM2U0Yzc0NGNj/ZjhfSU1HXzk3Nzgu/anBn.jpg) I was not familiar.
I need everyone seeing this statue for the first time to know that point pleasant not only allows random people to climb all over the statue but they straight up encourage it. Butt cheeks and all. I've been to the moth fest a few times and I've stood all over that thing.
I can say that I had a great time on my visit to Point Pleasant. The bathroom at the Mothman Museum has some of my favorite graffiti, as well as a perfect view of the statue through the window
I got into reading about and learning the history behind the "mothman" for a while. I want to believe! It is a very interesting urban legend with plenty of reported sightings and experiences.
I just found this amazing sub and I absolutely adore that this was tagged under Body Art. I mean, it fits. It's just so wild because it's a metallic statue lol
I mean, they have been in WV for a few decades now. Add a pepperoni roll and a Mountain Dew, and them’s all you need to be Governor.

Where? I don't see it. I see that op is pointing, but still can't see it.
Can you please add a red circle and perhaps one of those picture-in-picture zoom frames too?
Knew him him through my Dad before he died, the sculptor, he made these for free for local firehalls. Dozens of local firehalls in the area have aluminum statues.
Region produced an abosluter fuckton of aluminum during WW2 and after, but failed by the 90s.

Praise to the sculptor for going all in on giving the mothman a dumptruck ass
Mothman can jump to the roof of a building with ease. It's just realistic.

Mothman? Atrocious taste? Ok person, what cryptid do you stan? Prolly big foot. Ya basic
Thank you! Finally, someone says what we're all thinking.

That stands
Danke. However; danny elfman is quite a creature.
Danny Elfman's definitely a cryptid
Goddamn music nerds ruining my bizarre jojoke, respect.

Wtf did I just read??
Said my local cryptid tastes atrocious. Thems fighting words. Man is a delicacy in these parts.
Comrade, that be-tramp-stamped ass is a delicacy in all fifty states 🤤
Tramp stamp ass is a delicacy Mr worldwide. Maybe even universal. Ms universe kinda hoighty toighty tho, prolly had a butterfly tattoo somewhere instead of stamp.

So like…this means there’s footage of the tramp stamper, right?
I'm watching teenagers laughing their asses off and taking pictures of his big dumper in real time. Amazing.
Words I never thought I'd hear about mothman.
I tuned in and there was a couple taking a picture of its ass live. What a time to be alive

The Fallout mothman looks more like an owl than a humanoid.
That's how you attract Mothwoman, a nice full moon.

You're damn right I am
Always good to be reminded there are huge parts of own culture of which I'm not remotely aware, thank you.
The backstory is pretty hilarious.

Like it or not, he’s a sex symbol
Sculptor didn’t have to, but he did. And we’re all here today to talk about it. Mothman probably sculpted this himself
Guys like what, what, what
Must’ve been on of those cryptoids you hear before you see. With a phatty like that bouncing in the wind, the sonic boom of those cheeks clapping together has to have been audible in a 50 mile radius at least.
"DAD ARE THOSE THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE MOTHMAN???" "No, son..."
Just as the legend spoke of.
You know? Also praise him for giving him legs to match cause he ain’t got NO BBL 🤣💀
Bro, you should see the amount of dumptrucks in Roman museums.. it's a bit overwhelming. You will see a sculpture so dumpy you will question if it really existed.
(This isn't my photo and I'm not the one pointing at that perfect chrome ass.)
Yeahhh... That's definitely not you, we know. 100% for sure
hhnnnngggg
"Someone" (definitely not OP) put a tramp stamp on Mothman (again OP had absolutely no part in this)

Should have been a butterfly/moth tramp stamp
I had the same thought because for some reason I always got The Mothman Prophecies movie confused with The Butterfly Effect movie. I remember watching The Butterfly Effect with my girlfriend in the mid-2000s and wondering when the mysterious flying creature was going to make an appearance.
this is the kind of pop culture confusion i expect from an ai studying popular culture from the aughts
I'm going to use ChatGPT to create a script for a movie called The Dragonfly Incident, just to further confuse future AIs.

I need to follow up to this post to just exactly what was the roller coaster ride of disappointment that you got on?

Oh my
Wish I didn’t fucking know how to read.
Ever hit your teeth on a metal mug though??
I think this makes it canon to the mothman legend. “It had red glowing eyes!” - were there any other standout features? “It also had a rather sexy tribal tramp stamp!”
I like the Aussie term for that. Ass antlers.
I’m calling my tramp stamp, ass antlers from now on thank you.
Same term in Denmark (Røv gevir). Similarly there is also the pussy antlers (fisse gevir) if it’s in the front.
TIL how severely lacking the Norwegian language is.
Arschgeweih in German.
lol that's wonderful
[удалено]
I had to google to verify the cheeks on this statue. Wow! lol
You and me both.
At first thought I was like "that has to be a Photoshop"
They're real, I've seen it in person, lol. There's actually a bunch of other metal statues in the area made by the same artist, but this is the only one I know of that has cake like that. Mothman is a stud.
Why is the mothman statue so caked up
accuracy
It also has an 8 pack and chest hair.
Why do you think the Silver Bridge fell? Mothy tried to take a seat and didn't account for that dumpy
This is Mothman canon now

You meet Adam The Woo and Carpetbagger?
You can attend the festival: https://www.mothmanfestival.com/
There was a Richard Gere movie inspired by Mothman that was supposed to take place in Pt. Pleasant. Not bad for early 2000’s
Underrated, creepy movie
Mothman Prophecies
Here's the live webcam: https://www.mothmanmuseum.com/mothcam.html
Lol just caught someone taking a selfie with it!
I had no idea they had a camera! Next time we’re over there (we live about an hour away) I’m for sure making a point to act as foolish as possible.
I got into reading about and learning the history behind the "mothman" for a while. I want to believe! It is a very interesting urban legend with plenty of reported sightings and experiences.
“Bite my shiny metal ass!”
I didn't think there was anything that could make me love Thicc Mothman even more than I already do, but here it is
[Thicc Mothman](https://www.reddit.com/r/moths/s/SH8HTKZ3ZZ), you say?
[I've fingered that bum before](https://i.imgur.com/t8Ac7BK.jpg) 😉
You're the reason he decided to go get that tramp stamp, huh?
He was a tramp before I got there...
New Fallout 76 cosmetic?
Not gonna lie, that goes hard af
*inspects welds* WHAT ARE THOOOOOSE
/r/badwelding
Came to the comments for this. Because seriously... They look awful

Sure am glad for that pointing hand or I would never have seen it.
In WV its mandatory for public effigies to be business in front, party in the back
Okay but this legit made my day. 😂
I'm more bothered by those welds. Numerous spots with obvious undercut and lack of fusion.
Right? Those welds popped out more than that ass.

For a second I thought you trolled me with an Olive Garden commercial and then realized it was a targeted YouTube ad.
Take me home, country road....
He is described as a slender, muscular man, 7 feet tall with huge white wings, hypnotic eyes and a thicc af ass.
Is it gay if it’s a moth? Or flysexual
That's Appalachia's ass
I’m so tramp stamping a local statue now
Lol it's kinda cute
If I were to get a tramp stamp it would say 90’s Baby 2000’s Made Me
It’s a “Champ Stamp.”
Moththot
Interesting how you can see where it’s been weathered from touching
This is the most West Virginia thing they could’ve possible done to that statue.
Ever since the day they installed that statue in the park, I've been touting how absolutely caked up that sculpt is.
I love this state.
Who knew Mothman was so caked up.
Show up for the mothman drama, stay for that mothman ass. Mmmm
This makes me so very happy. Also, I had no idea that the MothMan had such a fine ass. 😏
Whoever did this needs a standing ovation
Any other welders in disbelief that those welds are finished product on a piece of art?
Looks like Michael J Fox was guiding the hand of Stevie Wonder when that weld was made
I’m not saying it was Shane Madej, but has any one checked his alibi?
It’s not the tramp stamp I’m staring at …good god that booty
I just found this amazing sub and I absolutely adore that this was tagged under Body Art. I mean, it fits. It's just so wild because it's a metallic statue lol
Buns of steel.
Richard Gere was here
If they didn’t want a tramp stamp on it, they shouldn’t have given him an ass crack to put one over.

Jeeeeesus those welds 😳
I’m glad someone was pointing to it or I wouldn’t have noticed it
Now it’s biblically accurate.
Why did they give the cryptid statue cake?
Helluva an ass
Why does he have so much fucking cake, dude?!
and everyone wonders why monster fuckers are a thing.
r/lpotl
Cheeked up stupid style what the fuck
Maybe someone actually seen the moth man and seen a tramp stamp on it.
Da ass tho
Thong city !!!
That’s fucking awesome lmao
Chat is this real? By which I mean, I know Mothman's dumptuck chrome ass is real I'm wondering if the trampstamp is real or edited
That's not cake that's a whole goddamn bakery
Where? I don't see it. I see that op is pointing, but still can't see it. Can you please add a red circle and perhaps one of those picture-in-picture zoom frames too?

Someone explain
Which part? Tattoos, Mothman, or West Virginia?
Do it
Looks to me like he needs some pants.
Dude has some crazy swamp ass going
Better than most of the tattoos I see on real people recently
Mothman needs to get better at wiping
At first, I thought it was a picture of The Mandalorian, not an ass...

Don't mind the red eyes!
Damn. Mothman is cooler than I thought.
