"Carbons? Purge? What are you talking about?!"

I saw a girl with the Milhouse's dad pictionary thing tattooed on her arm this morning. What do you even say to someone that got a lame tattoo of a mediocre joke from an animated sitcom from 10 years ago?

Not finished. It hasn't even been cleaned yet. You can see the yellow ink smeared into the blue and around the bottom. Most likely the picture was taken mid-session because customers love doing that poo poo even though its not done yet.

If it were still in progress that would be red as gently caress getting solid shading like that.

Nah, he has a couple and was excited for her to get it. Then he saw it and found out she chose her artist because he was a friend of her mom. Him and I also dont really like color in tattoos, but that's our poo poo, and not really the problem. It's certainly not the worst tattoo in the thread but the lines are no bueno and it's just enough off-center that it looks weird, especially in person. Also that perspective is pretty bad, especially the center of the flower.

He also thought it was weird to get a giant lotus for her first tattoo when she has no particular affinity for them.

I also hate the color choice, but that's just me about any big patches of yellow on white skin look like bruises imo.

That's why I suspect it of being art: it raises so many questions in the viewer's mind.

How can Chaplin possibly look so bored? Why the reference to the Church of the SubGenius? Who is the mystery victim wearing a clerical dogcollar, a clown nose, and purple-spotted knickers outside of his clothes? My frontrunner is Paul Newman, but given the style, I have my doubts.

Ah ok, I can understand being annoyed by someone getting a mediocre tattoo if you're an enthusiast and have tried to point them in the direction of better artists. At least it's easy to cover up (both with clothing and, evenutally, with a better tattoo) and isn't a pony finger-banging itself?

I love tattoos (and have a ton of them) and am always trying to get my friends to go to one of the many amazing artists that work in our city but the insistence on going to lovely or mediocre artists baffles me. People seem to have this weird denial or blind spot with tattoo artists where they can't acknowledge when someone is just not very talented. Sure not every bad tattooist is a kitchen wizard but why go to someone whose work is a solid C when you can go to someone who smashes out A+ pieces every day and is no more expensive or difficult to get to?

My big question is why is Charlie Chaplin angry with the nappy wearing clown priest, and why does he deserve to die? Also, in all The Little Tramp films that CC did, he is never packing heat. Why would he choose the day he wanders in on a masturbating woman to start?

The greatest tattoos leave the viewer walking away questioning the very nature of existence.

You know what? Just tattoo some numbers on me. Any numbers, I don't give a gently caress.











How about a tattoo of a date that hasn't happened yet?



Or we can do trite phrases and numbers?



Wobbly crosses and numbers?



Or just some lovely bats?



Maybe some #sacredgeometry



More words, less sense





This one's just a mess



And this one, "the client asked me to sign the tattoo for them"



Just bad, so ugly







I want these words, but then I also want a tattoo of a bruise, I know...



"love tight, gently caress life"

Those are clearly all dates:

My guess is that they are all a cabal of time travelers and they are detailing when they have been to on vacation.

Yeah, my sister wants just one tattoo (for now, at least), which is the birth date and death date of our father tattooed in an inconspicuous place, when he dies. My sister isn't stupid so she's not going to do it in a very visible place, somewhere she can cover it up really easily, which is the way I like those kinds of tattoos. They're a very personal, private and very permanent monument to someone you love.

Getting something like that in a very visible place just screams for attention, though, and I always wonder whether those people enjoy the first month or so of everyone asking them "what does it mean?" (which they want) after which they get sick of it and regret getting it. Then again, that's probably a significant portion of bad tattoos anyway.

It's even worse when you try to convince a memorial date/name customer to instead get an artistic image inspired by the person rather than just boring text. Nine times out of ten the answer to this is "I don't want to pay that much."

Well then you obviously don't care about it as much as you want people to think you do. :colbert:
