Not to derail, but I have to know more details about this story. I thought Platypus venom wasn't enough to kill humans, just make them hurt like hell for a LONG time.

Probably because most people who make a huge deal of wolves in their self expression identity themselves in bullshit "lone wolf" or "alpha male" terms which makes for an annoying loving personality.

One of my best friends favorite animal is the wolf. I think he has like a wolf art poster? Its just a thing he likes to have around. Guys with wolf tattoos for better or worse get lumped in with people who identify themselves either AS wolves, in bullshit wolf hierarchical terms, or who think they're native American or something. Because tattoos are generally expected to go beyond "I like this thing" into "this thing is a major part of myself and something I feel strongly enough about to put it permanently/publicly on display." Again, that is not always the case, but that could be why. People cling to wolves for a lot of stupid loving symbolic meanings.

Goddamnit I hate feet people should really stop bringing attention to them.

The thing about the anchor tattoo on the foot is bugging me in a total way. See, nautical foot tattoos are a long standing sailor tradition. But what they tattoo on their feet tend to be things that float or fly. It's for superstitious reasons...see, if your feet can float in the water, then if you fall overboard/crash, you won't sink and drown. This person is putting a tattoo on their foot of something that is deliberately meant to sink to the bottom of the ocean. If they were a sailor, it'd be totally bad mojo.

That's from a show called "America's Worst Tattoos"
There's some pretty funny things on there.
Apparently the story behind "Party Dog" is a group of guys knew someone who had a dog named "Party Dog" and they thought it was awesome so they were all going to get matching tattoos. This guy did himself first and when everyone else saw it, they decided it wasn't such a good idea anymore.

The best part is, he got a cover-up artist to fix it by getting...ANOTHER PARTY DOG. At least this one doesn't look like poo poo. I couldn't find a better picture.

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 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 tattoo of a bare-breasted lobster-maid. Or a whatever-lobster-is-in-Ye-Olde-English-maid.

Is there a followup? That's as gently caress, and if it worked I've honestly got to salute the guy that just had his flesh ripped off at 1000 rpm, stupid or not.

I don't think we're on the same page as to what constitutes "tasteless". Things you personally don't like aren't immediately tasteless, and a lot of these tattoos aren't tasteless. For example, I'm not sure how the technically decent tree on that girl's side is anything near "tasteless". A scratchy Tasmanian Devil is tasteless. A warped Bart Simpson is tasteless.

Aggg why would you give your tattoo a bad boob job? The face, breasts, stomach, wings, and hands all look like they were drawn with different people with varying levels of artistic skill. The right hand is so competently done it's almost like it was inked by a different artist.

Actually, I've got it on good authority that that they are correct. Not sure why the satanic goat has a candle on his head, but I'm sure it's for a solid purpose. Hey, photoshop thread idea, put candles on goat's heads!



E: Oh, satanic goat has a candle because he's satanic.

Does she have hair long enough to cover it? I'd lose my job over that poo poo, and I don't even deal with patients (billing). I was in the elevator with the CEO this morning and about crapped my pants when he asked to see my tattoos, which are smallish and coverable and tasteful. I know behind-the-ear is the hot new tattoo place or something (although it does mostly seem to be on young-ish women with no visible tattoos anywhere else), but, man. That wouldn't be my first choice if I had to really interact with the public. Especially patients, who are usually completely insane. I'm anxious about getting my feet done, and the only people who would see them (at work) are other biller/coders.
Y'all neck/hand/face tat people are hard as poo poo is what I'm saying.

At least the tattoo was done by a Maori artist. Also I doubt that's an actual ta moko with clan identifiers, etc. Getting a tattoo done in a ta moko-influenced style by a Maori artist at least keeps the money in the Maori community. Interview with the tattoo artist where he talks about adapting traditional styles for non-Maori clients, etc.

Serious question. I recently saw an incredible exhibition of Egyptian papyri, and have been seriously thinking of getting a tattoo, possibly even a large motif, based on them. The mythology is fascinating, and the art is just so incredibly elegant. However, I am of Eastern European heritage and white as snow. Is there any way that it wouldn't be tacky and tasteless/possibly offensive as hell?
