When Doughty saw the New York version of Baby Yoda, he decided to draw it in the traditional tattoo style, with heavier lines and more color saturation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t think anybody would go crazy for it. I thought it was cool, my friend thought it was cool, so we did it,&#8221; Doughty said. They shared it with the meme&#8217;s creator, who reposted it, and the tattoo has since gotten hundreds of thousands of likes on Instagram on various pages.\u00a0His friends love the Baby Yoda tattoo, although his fianc\u00e9e &#8220;finds it funny but thinks it&#8217;s stupid.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She thinks it&#8217;s ridiculous because she&#8217;s not a Star Wars fan,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Her little sister loves it, but they both think it&#8217;s ridiculous because I&#8217;m not a Yankees fan.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Marchese hoped getting the tattoo and going viral would boost Doughty&#8217;s business, and the artist says several more people have asked about getting it. Doughty also made a feminine design based on the Cardi B version of the Baby Yoda meme, and he says he&#8217;d potentially give another Baby Yoda tattoo with the details switched up, like adding a Knicks jersey or a Mets cap instead.<\/p>\n\n<p>It&#8217;s Marchese&#8217;s first Star Wars tattoo, and definitely his first meme tattoo, but he has plenty of others. He even got a pegasus tattooed on his back on an episode of &#8220;Ink Master.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was over at my mom&#8217;s the other day and I normally don&#8217;t tell her when I get tattoos because she always freaks out,&#8221; Marchese said. &#8220;And she was like &#8216;I know about your tattoo. Let me see it. Oh, it&#8217;s famous, I see it all over the internet.'&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baby Yoda isn&#8217;t just the latest meme craze.
