Butts are actually where the heart shape comes from. (Hearts don't look anything like a "heart shape" but butts sure do, and butts were an early sign for fertility / mating / romance.)

I love how there is a much neater and more subtle stencil under that free-handed piece of jank.

Kanisha. Though it definitely looks like kanFsh'a. On the face, no less. ed:I don't think it's a stencil it's covering, but rather covering up a previous (faded/removed) tattoo, but I can't make that one out. Ends in a "g" or "y" I think.

A friend of mine who is a writer has 'the pen is mightier than the sword' as a tattoo. Of course I make fun of her and say 'penis mightier'.

Led me to this:  In case your mind went where mine did, it's supposed to be hoof prints. "It's in memory of my 27 year old arab mare and 17 year old thoroughbred gelding I lost 3 years ago."

I know this is going to lighten up when healed and is a pretty decent portrait overall. But for now this is a drat convincing black face tattoo:

Thank you guys so much for the wonderful posts. Just when I think Im starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel in terms of lovely local guys, Toronto and the GTA prove to be a never ending source of bad tattoos: This woman(?) boldly chose to get a moon overlayed with globs of jizz on her back.

Sure they look good 24 hours after getting done, in black and white, in 500x500px, but give it 6 months and watch them become an unfocused blurry blob.

hyperhazard posted:Serious question: How do you draw a tattoo this perfectly round? Trace a circle on their skin and hope your arm doesn't wobble while following the line? Errr... you do know how a tattoo is performed right? That design would have either been done on a computer, or by hand, with a compass to draw the perfect circle and matching vertebrae. It then would have been ran through a thermalfax copier to apply the design to some carbon paper, and then that would have been transferred onto the client's skin. Voila, you have a perfect circle to follow with your tattoo machine. Perfect geometric shapes aren't a new thing in the tattoo world. Super fine lined shite however, is relatively new, and people are flocking to it like flies on poo poo in an attempt to be unique and different. The fallout in a years time will be palpable. See HERE for an article on what i'm going on about. Or just look at this:  And if you think that one is just an amateur copy of another this pretty much shows it is the same tattoo just months apart:  Take note of all the fine lines in the hair and beard, the detail in the forehead, between of the nose ridge, in the cheeks... all faded to gently caress all. That is hyper realisim in tattoos my friends, and it's gonna be loving hilarious when people start realising how poo poo it really is.

It also looks like some additional work was done to it. The 2 lines under the right eye (left as you look at it) do not connect in the original, but do in the "later" picture. I don't know a ton about tattoos, so why do some areas darken while others lighten up?

I don't know, some of those lines line up but others seem to different to be the same tattoo, specifically the shape of the nose hole on the upper left side. The mouth is slightly off too but I can't tell if he's just twisting his arm different.

There are some strands with more of a gap between them in that fresh piece and in the other one they are a lot closer together. I'm not saying it's not possible they're the same, but I'm not 100% believing that they are. If it did in fact fade that poorly it was probably done lovely to being with. I've seen plenty of tattoos done in a similar style hold up pretty well.

For me it's the eyes that are the giveaway that they're not the same. They're completely different shapes. That said, I'm pretty sure the last time this came up someone had a link that DID prove it was the same tattoo somehow. Like a full body shot of the guy in both pictures or something ... but I can't find it. I also may just be remembering wrong. e: I remember, it was the mole on the dude's arm (in the hair on the left) that was cited as evidence ... which is pretty compelling. fullroundaction has a new favorite as of 03:36 on Apr 24, 2015 |
