Kwyndig posted:Actually palm and sole tattoos wearing off have less to do with constant use and more to do with the body's adaptations to the underlying skin because of humanity's constant use of them over their evolution. The skin of your palms isn't anchored the same way as the skin on say your arms or legs is, and your palm has no hair follicles, no tanning response, and a few other structural differences from regular skin. The soles of your feet are similar. Speaking as someone who just got a tattoo (not on his palms or fingers) this is really useful information, thank you.

Yeah, shaving wouldn't affect it at all. Shaving can exfoliate the top skin layer, but that layer doesn't actually even contain the tattoo ink. Exfoliating off that layer actually makes your tattoo look brighter so if anything, regular shaving would make it look better, not worse.

Exfoliating off that layer actually makes your tattoo look brighter so if anything, regular shaving would make it look better, not worse. Yep, your tattoo ink sits just below the layer of your skin that houses melanocytes, the special cells that create melanin, your body's pigment. Which is also why white ink doesn't work on black skin, because their higher melanin content just washes it out instead of providing high contrast like you'd normally expect. Edit: Technically, the ink is housed in a kind of scar tissue at that layer, which is why it even stays in place at all. Your skin kind of forms a shell of proteins around it (since it is a foreign body) that are somewhat transparent. Like I mentioned earlier, palm/sole skin differs structurally in that it can break that shell down over time and this moves the ink. Your body is otherwise really bad at expelling foreign matter it can't dissolve once it gets past the first few layers of skin. Kwyndig has a new favorite as of 03:40 on Jan 23, 2017 |

I am a member of a Facebook group that's mostly about makeup but people go off topic a lot. And today's off topic post was about tattoos. I saved ~80 tattoos to share, too bad imgur only allows 50 in an album. Here's the album of my "top" 50 terrible tattoos so far

WAaaaaaaaitaminute. Is that a selfie, or a mirror, or is it designed to only be readable as a selfie, or in a mirror, or.... how the gently caress?

I dig Goodbye Kitty as a concept, if not execution. I'd have probably rolled with Farewell Cat though.

hyperhazard posted:I honestly can't tell if this is an ambigram or not. Yup, they said it's family one way and forever the other. I have a goon friend who I insisted join that group to make fun of posts with me and she said that "family [is] forever" is a Mormon thing and we got wondering if any of the many "family forever" tattoos in that thread knew. Then we got talking if any of them know how bad their tattoos are and if they can recognize when tattoos are just plain old better. The thread's since doubled in length and is now over 1k comments, so obviously I've saved some more.   I don't think she knows what the word "vagina" means, but what if she's actually using it 100% accurately?

I checked out the Facebook page for a tattoo shop down the street from me and was pleasantly surprised that the tattoos weren't horrible (I guess the lines are wonky). Now I just gotta be on the lookout for the guy in my neighborhood with this tattoo:
