One Man Took His Obsession with Harambe Too Far
If you thought the “Dicks out for Harambe” craze had ended in 2016, think again.

O’Connor was fascinated by the passing of the gorilla Harambe, who was killed in May of 2016 after a child fell into his enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo. However, O’Connor took this viral meme to the next level which quickly turned into a tattoo nightmare.
