Category: Aww: Cute on Muni

There are some gifts you probably don’t want from another passenger on Muni, and then there’s this sweet little sketch that an artist gave to his subject on the bus. From @merx_c:

He caught me sketching him in the bus. He asked if he could have the sketch. How could I refuse? Too bad the bus turned the picture into a potato.

I think he’s being humble; the sketch actually quite resembles this young man. Putting your artistic abilities to practice on your Muni ride is a good thing. Check out these other masterpieces:

This tattoo incorporates so many great San Francisco elements. Can you spot them all? We tracked down Leslie Lopez, the owner of the tattoo and asked her to count the ways. She says:

“I was born and raised in San Francisco and I lived on the Muni. I took them everywhere. I was raised on Folsom Street, hence the street sign. I love the 49ers and the Muni’s the represent our home team.”

Leslie’s great tattoo was done by artist Irene Shiori (find her contact info in the link). Photo by Bay Area Inkspot on Instagram.

We love all the ways you display your local love permanently. Some favorite San Francisco tattoos we’ve found:

And my personal fav, tattoo honoring Muni driver grandfather
