 Bad tribal or Yog Sothoth? E: and my boss just got the linework done on a horrible scratchy fairy tattoo, and was surprised when I guessed she had it done by a friend in his house. "But he has an autoclave!"- her defense. Croisquessein has a new favorite as of 01:49 on Jun 10, 2013 |

Is there something that precludes it from being both? But if I had to choose one, bad tribal because Yog Sothoth is a way awesome tattoo idea and that is a way terrible tattoo.

The owner of a local tattoo studio just excitedly posted a FB update saying, "Spike Television out of California called today and we are in the running to get a total re-model for the studio and be part of a television series. Just never know who's going to call next. GO RED!!!!!!"* I thought about posting to explain that this is not a good thing, but decided she should know that by now. The show in question is "Tattoo Rescue", I'm guessing. I haven't had any work done by them, but I don't think they are terrible. Whoever was proudly putting out the crappy tattoos I remember seeing several years back is gone I guess, since I'm not seeing them (the bad tattoos) online. I know, I know:  *"Red" is the name of the shop. Anyway, I should post something since I didn't find the crappy tattoos I remember seeing when I looked through them in the past. These are completely unrelated to Red Tattoo Parlor:

Has a single portrait tattoo ever looked like the person it's supposed to? Or are we (as a species) still at a 100% failure rate for drawing faces on skin?

Is this the tattoo you were looking for?  I was going to add some awful portraits to be more tasteless on-topic, but I just can't do it.

I think all portrait tattoos are pretty tasteless, even the ones that are flawlessly executed. Having a picture of someone elses face on your skin just seems goofy to me, even if it's beautifully photorealistic.

Portraits are difficult but not impossible. The problem is there are a lot of lovely artists and portraits are popular.

Yesterday a friend of mine asked me out of the blue what the Chinese characters for a few words were. As we live in China and she can't speak or read any real Chinese, this isn't really too uncommon. I sort of half-assedly sent her a few characters, but some words she wanted like "Loyalty" have a bunch with different meanings and connotations, and therefore a bunch of different characters... something I wasn't really thinking about when I replied to her text. I find out today she got them tattooed pretty huge down her back, and two of the characters aren't really what she would want in the context she's using them for. I wish she had told me why she wanted them. I'm the reason for the bad and tasteless tattoos. It's me. So, if you ever ask someone how to write "X" in moon runes, please tell them it's for a tattoo so they give more than a cursory glance at your text and hastily reply.

If it's done well, I don't think a memorial portrait of a family member or friend would be tasteless. But getting Woody Allen on your body is just creepy and weird.

That Macho Man tattoo is the best kind of tasteless. Re: portrait tattoos, Mick Squires does really good portraits that aren't necessarily photo-realistic. It's just a shame that the type of people who want portrait tattoos the most are normally the type of people who don't understand why some tattoo artists have 6 month waiting lists and why a good half-sleeve portrait is going to cost you upwards of $1500-$2000.
