how does intricate scarring like that look twenty or thirty years down the line? For that matter, how do tattoos done in the bright, crisp intricate modern style look over the following decades, you always see these stunningly beautiful tats when they're fairly fresh, does that last?

Bold will hold. I'd like to see what a five year old Kat von D tattoo looks like.

Forums user dpack_1 does some really cool scarification at his shop, there's pics in the YLLS piercing thread. I'd like to know what it ends up looking like years down the line. I get bad hypertrophic scarring and have a bunch of nasty lumpy ones, some go silver and flat but others stay very raised. I wonder how scarification works out on people like me.

But drat, it's really hard to gently caress up some music notes floating around - nobody cares if they don't really mean anything, yet somehow this person managed. What are the two random lines coming off the bottom/top supposed to be?

And more importantly, whatever your stance is on forearm tattoos, having three all going different directions seems universally stupid.

From what I understand it's not recommended because it tend to stay nasty and lumpy. The keloid growth can cause something like this :nms:

I remember when my mother asked me to write a phrase in Latin for her so she could get it tattooed onto her. Now, even though I took three semesters of Latin, all I got were Cs so I didn't really trust myself enough to tell someone that a certain phrase was completely correct. Fortunately, we got it right (it was something boring like "forte sum"), but I still panicked that my mother was in a tattoo shop in Vegas and possibly getting something woefully incorrect permanently inked onto her body.

Also, we all laugh at (or feel sorry for) people getting tattoos with misspelled words on them all the time, but I always wonder what the reactions are when they find out that they got something horribly wrong.

Denial.

I would imagine most people would either say "I don't care / it doesn't matter how it's spelled" or "It's meant to be spelled like that".

The type of people who get the type of bad, misspelled tattoos that end up in this thread probably aren't sticklers for spelling and grammar anyway.

Apparently this tattoo is from 1970, just as a random example of aging:



All tattoos blur with age and sun exposure, some just last better than others. Also, no one in the 70s or 80s wore sunscreen, so there's that.

quote:

So, I recently noticed (5 months after I got my tattoo) that there is a conspicuos comma at the end of the phrase "Always with you." My friends dared me to let imgur finish the tattoo for me.

Here's my unfinished tattoo (notice the comma). If this post makes front page by March 1st at 8pm EST, I will complete my tattoo with the first word of the top 10 comments and provide photo evidence of the updated tattoo. Your move imgur.

Anyone thinking about brands or scarring I would reccomend against it. I don't hate that I got branded but would never get another.
Knowing I can handle that level of pain is the only positive aspect to me. This all went down after marathon running and really pushing myself athletically for years. If your not into pushing your body to ridiculous levels this sort of thing will never occurr to you.

For clarification I wouldn't reccomend them because they suck in every way. 10 times more after care required than a tattoo and they often look like poo poo. Just wasn't worth it to me.

To offer a little context, it scarred horribly for him because the cuts were too deep. It pulled on his skin so much so that it became uncomfortable for him to bend. He's since gotten the keloids removed.

People are always going on about how there is only way that a tattoo can ever be oriented on anybody's arms, which I think is pretty stupid and spergy, but this is a set of 3 tattoos oriented in 3 different directions, and it's so jarring, especially with the letters of STRENGTH each pointing in a different direction.

Oh man, I am so glad I'm getting my tattoo removed. It's only about 15 years old, but it wasn't that well done and it was starting to fade. I didn't like it anymore, so it's slowly but surely getting removed. Third treatment next week! :)

I did also temporarily talk my niece out of getting a Chinese character tattoo after having my boyfriend give her the literal translations of what she wanted. Hopefully she'll change her mind about them altogether.

My (stupid) ex got a (stupid) tattoo that was meant to say 'In Death, I Live'. He ended up with 'In Death I Lid' which I found absolutely hysterical. He tried to get it covered up/corrected but you could still see the D through the V. Train wreck.

It came from Facebook. She's got her name set to a certain clown-obsessed psychologist.



The hidden comments are split about 1/3 complimenting her tattoo, 2/3 calling her sexy without mentioning her tattoo. I hope those people realize it's poo poo but I don't have much hope.

Oh look, these beautiful things are on her too.

I used to work with a woman who showed me a picture of her daughter's tattoo that included the word "happyness" and when I pointed out that it was misspelled, my coworker told me it wasn't on purpose but her daughter liked it because it was "more unique" that way. The daughter was like 17 and in high school with her entire forearm covered in whatever the quote was and a bunch of roses. It was ok-ish except for the spelling, but that's a lot of public ink for a teenager.
