Imagine knowing someone before they got their entire face covered with tattoos. It would be a bit of a mind job.

Judging by the Nintendo machine in the background the picture has been flipped. He probably looks perfectly fine the other way round.

For reals, though, I'm not sure if this is worse than the Juggalo paint tattoos or not. Like, on the one hand, it's unspeakably awful and was a terrible idea he'll regret if he lives long enough, but on the other hand, he's a Juggalo and could have gotten the paint tattooed on and at least this way you don't know he's a Juggalo to look at him.

At what point do prison tattoos become part of the American folk art canon? I really hope that historians and art nerds 100 years from now don't look back on this poo poo with reverence.

fullroundaction posted:At what point do prison tattoos become part of the American folk art canon? They became folk art decades ago, dude. Actual jailhouse tattoos, though, not scratcher bullshit like in the thread. Russian prison tattoos are really interesting if you look at all the layers of symbolism and metaphor going on, and American prison tattoos have various meanings as well. There are some really, really impressive pieces out there if you dig a little bit. Here's an example of Russian prison tattoos, just to show what I'm talking about :  The spires of the church probably represent either how many sentences the guy has served or how many years he's incarcerated for. The spider probably means he's racist, the skulls probably represent two significant murders he commited, the Mary and Jesus on the left side means that he'll never betray his friends, etc., etc. Old school Russian prison tattoos are really neat; I get kind of excited. Sorry for the little bit of a derail!

To continue this derail, The Mark of Cain is a fantastic documentary on the subject. It can be viewed in full on YouTube. I would post the link but posting on my phone and all that...

Last night there was a story on a tabloid TV show about a 14 year old girl getting a home tattoo in a caravan (trailer). The tattooist was busted for doing it too. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-07-26/man-guilty-of-tattooing-girls/4846092 I'll stick the segment on YouTube later. Not too amusing really apart from the Dad hiding in the kitchen not wanting to look at it while they kept asking him to come out.

In any case, googling "Russian prison tattoo" they're all really amazingly well done unlike all the garbage in this thread. I mean, look at this! They are doing it with like a sharpened pen and shoe rubber! And morons with specialized needles and machines can't even draw a straight line?   E: yeah I was pretty much right about it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_tattoo#Russia_and_former_Soviet_republics

In fairness, if you put a bad tat on a dude over here you'll probably just have inked someone too dumb to even know it's bad. If you put a bad tat on a hardened Russian criminal you are so hosed it's not even funny.

I don't have a picture, but I have to share this amazing tattoo. My friend's uncle has a tattoo that's supposed to say "Born to Lose," but he's a crazy idiot so it actually says "Born too Loose."

I was thinking that the knot itself wasn't so bad until I looked a little bit (really not much) more closely at the linework and realized that whoever did it probably couldn't draw a straight line with a ruler.
