I have a friend that has had a magnet in his finger for almost a decade. You can't really see it. He wins tons of free beer at bars betting people he can pick their lighter up with the tip of his finger.

If it's that strong a magnet, doesn't he constantly erase his credit cards?

Not to be a buzzkill but I want to second this, not because it bothers me (yet) but I don't want this to turn in to an off-shoot AUG thread. That thread can get loving... AUG sometimes (or last I checked)...

Maybe just link it with a "dude getting scarification" or "Hellraiser wanna-be" or something?

I actually agree with some of the body mod stuff.

Healed things are a bit more palatable but even as a practitioner of the stuff, it can get pretty drat gory and those that take photos posing with the process being done, or immediately after, are clearly looking for the shock value of it more than anything.

Sorry I don't have any poo poo tattoo content to make this post anything more than an agreement that we can not post heavy body procedures here. By all means go throw them in the piercing megathread, folk there are more used to that kinda stuff.

You know that really annoying rapper with all the stupid tattoos? His are real, but you can "do it for the 'gram" if you want!

It's a lady getting tattooed on her forehead. No blood. :)

Let's make it go viral! I'm kidding. I'm very, very not convinced hers isn't real, and if it is...well. Good luck, I guess.

But that same tattoo artist also works in the style of everyone's favorite guessing game: What Is That Supposed to Say?
First up -

"Live" and "Life"

Then we have -

I'm actually not sure with the top one. It's something along the lines of "Cashden" or "Kaiden" or "Kashden"...maybe. The other one is "Rubin" but I think the guy's name is "Ruben" with an 'e' so I have no idea

And a refreshing twist on an old classic to round things out!


Also, I've never seen a machine like that one in the .gif. Is that a new thing or am I just really unobservant? It could be both, of course.

Ambigrams is the technical term for that bullshit.

I assume the dead mother liked crosswords, which is a sweet thought, but maybe having a human do the tattoo instead of a drunken badger would have worked out better.

A story illustrated in 4 parts.

Got an email from someone that said they have had 7 tattoos in the past 2 weeks from a "studio" and she thinks the first 2 came out fine, but there are some that "need to be finished".

Here is the excerpt for why she cant go back to the "artist":

- "I can't go back to this other guy because I have proof he is a cocaine addict which explains everything to me as there were so many problems when I went back after the first one. No organisation, chaotic, He was very rude, insulting me and offending me during the last session. He picked up medicinal cannabis while we were outside having a fag between tattoos. I'm not against cannabis at all, I smoke it myself in the evenings but it's not professional to pick up drugs in front of a client lol I don't care how laid back I am I'm still a paying client! The 3 days were a nightmare, he ran out of gloves, Vaseline, and kitchen roll 2 of the days. He threw away inks while he was tattooing me moaning about the heat ruining them and they are worth thousands so he was in a bad mood on all 3 days. He was so agitated he took it out on one of my tattoos and because that one got infected I was sent to the hospital and the doctor said the guy has sliced into my leg and that the tattoo will scar and always be raised. I take the pain of tattoos well, they don't bother me and all my tattoos are in colour (or supposed to be) but when he did that one I was at the pint of tapping out because I thought I was going to pass out. He was digging into my leg and it was bleeding badly.
All in all I am gutted. I really need these tattoos finished." -

On to the tattoos in question:

I feel so sorry for the woman, I mean she is part to blame for continuing to go back after just an hour of work from the guy, but she's elderly, clearly being duped and manipulated and well, her body is just ruined.

These are unfixable, they cannot be "finished" or saved in any way. They are so large that covering them in any meaningful way would be days of work. They are so badly done that I doubt laser removal is really an option especially the colour stuff, even if it were that'd be immensely painful to remove and require dozens of sessions.

Just... urgh...

How on earth do I reply to that email and gently say "you have let someone completely ruin your body for life, please report them to the authorities as i doubt they are licensed, they have fraudulently conned you, you witnessed drugs on a 'professional' environment and good luck wearing clothes that cover every inch of those atrocities for the foreseeable future - we cannot fix that or help in any way"

It's this.

People dont see it as art, they remember the days of just walking into a studio full of flash in catalogues and on the walls that they would pick from and get tattooed. They just assume it's like tracing something on paper but done with a machine, so hand over these 'references' that they have found on the internet and believe the 'tattoo guy' just puts that on them and there is no difference in quality, they think people that charge £100's per hour are just elitist pricks trying to scam the general public rather than seeing that the 'artist' charging £20 and a case of beer is the one doing the scamming.

Even if i reply to this woman saying we 'could' cover it all, but each piece is gonna take a good couple days to cover at nearly £500 a day and so costing her upwards of £4000 in total she's gonna think we are trying to take advantage of her and possibly leave a poo poo review saying as such. There is no winning with people that have that mind set.
