Origins
The origin of the fingerstache is believed to have been created by Ella Wildie, however, the recent revival dates to the summer of 2003 in Columbus, Ohio, where a local tattoo artist began tattooing moustaches as a joke. Photos and stories about the tattoos spread to the internet, becoming a minor phenomenon after landing on the forums of popular comedy website Something Awful.
This prompted many to procure similar tattoos, eventually culminating in social networking communities such as Fingerstache.com. Oftentimes the fingerstache is paired with a top hat tattoo and a rabbit tattoo on the other hand.

Sings his great theory of natural origins and of wise conduct; Plato

Where the hinges let it move, were living things,

Blue bit of polished glass, glued there by time:
The origins of art.”
—Howard Moss (b. 1922)
