Fantastisk: May 19, 2011; After a long night of hooking, trade didn't like the session, so he had gutted me and set me on fire, but, you know, I didn't die. I had crystallized, and now I'm a glamazon bitch ready for the runway.

My girlfriend and I have been looking at this for a while now, trying to figure out what the hell it is. Any guesses?

I think it's a demon fetus (upside down, left; you can see the horns, and the red thing might be a wing) and an angel fetus (right side up, right; it has angel wings and a yellow halo) in a yin-yang formation?

Here, have some Digimon thing and a taco:

It looks like a ying-yang made of fetuses with bald adult heads. It's kind of disturbing. There's something else going on in there too but god knows what.

It's an angel and a devil fetus in the yin yang position. I got the fetus thing quickly, but figuring out they were an angel and devil took a minute.

Edit: Also beaten.

I like the digivice but those tattoos really scream "lolrandom". It looks non-cohesive packing all those random elements together, like tattooed gibberish.

All this critique is making me thirsty, how bout some soda tattoos? Or pop for y'all yankees.

Seriously? I will never get tattooed simply for the fact that even if I thought it was a good idea/design I know I will 100% regret it within a few months.

Also, what is up with people getting tattoos of their children? :psyduck:

I totally understand getting a tattoo of your kids. What I don't understand is the ability to suppress the rage at some fucker you just gave money to who decided to permanently etch a hosed up facsimile of your precious baby's face onto you. Especially if it's a memorial tattoo.

People getting tattoos of their children is like the least mysterious thing I can think of, at least when it comes to tattoos. Artists with no skills at portraits willingly tattooing mongoloid versions of children onto their parents is another thing, altogether. I don't think I'd be able to resist the urge to leap out the window and abandon my shop if I ever permanently etched some terrible old-man-baby picture onto somebody.

After speaking to the artist's brother in law he apparently did this as a troll tattoo since the recipient hasn't looked for work in almost a year since moving to aussie land and has been couch surfing with the artist's sister/brother in law and has gotten tired of him being a freeloader.

I saw this in my mind like Forest just kept pokin' Dan in the arm saying, "Lt Dan...icecream...Lt Dan, ICE CREAM...LT. DAN, ICE CREAM!" while trying to show him his new icecream cone tattoo, because I thought I clicked on the image macros thread. Also, because I don't remember the ice cream line in Forest Gump. All I remember is Bubba's recitation of shrimp dishes.

Here, have an s&m, but no nudity, tasteless shrimp tattoo. It's not bad, but I figure it sort of counts as tasteless.
Just in case it's :nws:

for some, here's a link.

Oh, hey! Someone else had a similar, poorly executed, tattoo idea. Bad and tasteless. Linked for the same reason as above.

And here's a :nws:

This guy makes me sad, because he is incredible with paintings.
Unfortunately, he tattoos for a living, and while you can always see what it is, it's nearly always way, way off.

He got kicked off a local Ink Master-type show, not because of his stupid proportions, but because whatever he did, was good only at a first glance -
I guess to him car tires are a perfect square shape?
