This really is a very well-done tattoo and it's easily concealed, which, if it were anywhere other than on the back of his head, would mean I'd be posting it in the Awesome Tattoos thread.

If it was somewhere sensible like his back or chest, this tattoo would be loving awesome.

Huh? It would make no sense if it were placed anywhere else, because it's an optical illusion tattoo that makes his head look like a crazy monkey head.

I get that, but what I mean is it's quality artwork, but in a stupid place.

I just couldn't see shaving a particular patch on the back of my head regularly. Maybe he only brings it out for special occasions?

Let's be fair though, gently caress the Peelers isn't exactly a rare sentiment in Belfast either.

Still, even having lost family in the Troubles, inking yourself with "gently caress The Pope" seems a bit drastic :stare:

If you're old enough to get a tattoo, you have 0% change of getting to gently caress the pope anyway.

As far as band/song tattoos go, this is an all right concept it just looks so boring. Also wonky but not blindingly terrible. Mediocre for sure and it could have been done in such a more lively/interesting style and that is what disappoints me most about it.

Are you sure that's not just blue pen? Because that looks like blue pen. If your friend just got it, it's weird that there's no swelling or redness or sheen or anything. And you can see on some the linework where there's a heavy center line surrounded by a fainter outer, just like you'd get if you sketched something on skin with a pen.

Unfortunately, it is definitely tattooed on. 'Just got this' was a poor choice of phrase- I think it's about a month old at this point, and the picture is from last night, but it's the first time I'd seen it. I didn't ask exactly when he got it because I was too busy baffling at the outline, but it's all healed now. It came out of this place (I'll remove my link if that's not kosher).
http://www.brassanchortattoo.com/

e: according to him, it's also supposed to have shading, but something something blah blah blah had to wait an hour then got invited to the bar by the artist where he proceeded to watch him have a couple beers and a handful of shots- why would you let someone tattoo you after that? :confused:

I have been working out! My modem is broken and my phone eats half the posts I try to make, including all the posts I've tried to make here. I'll try this one more time.

Ugh, that's the worst looking Ziltoid I've ever seen. The forehead and snout are both non-existent.


For reference, this is what he's supposed to look like.

That's actually his shoulder. He's wearing a terrible sleeveless denim vest. More common among rednecks I guess.

edit to bring you some of my favourites from the same shop. I can't remember if I've posted derpy Wonder Woman and Superman before, but they're worth a repost.




And the best for last:

This one was posted without any description, and there isn't a single other picture from the same time period so I'm guessing it's not a cover-up. I don't even know.

Looking at the dates on the photos, that one appear to be a "before" shot. Technicolor blue cross above it appears to be the cover up (you can see one or two of the original lines if you look closely).

The cover up is still drat awful, and they still appear to be an awful shop. I can just imagine what they're not putting in their portfolio.
