Frank Ocean Gets Matt Groening’s “Homo v.s. Hetero” Tattoo
When it comes to “happiness,” “societal approval,” and “herpes,” there is no difference between homosexual couples and straight relationships.
Frank Ocean just revealed his newest tattoo, taken from an illustration by Matt Groening.
The ink covers an old tattoo, and is of The Simpsons creator’s “Homo vs. Hetero” artwork from 1983. The illustration asks, “Which is better?” over two sets of bunny couples: one homosexual and one heterosexual.

Groening’s drawing implies that, for the good and the bad, “love is love.” When it comes to “happiness,” “societal approval,” and “herpes,” there is no difference between homosexual couples and straight relationships. The openly bisexual Ocean had chosen the “homo” bunnies for his ink.
Frank Ocean’s new “Life In Hell” infographic covers up an old design, which was inspired by the Studio Ghibli movie, Castle In The Sky.
