Call me "pixeltits"


It does mean that, kind of, but the phrasing is clunky and using 米 for cooked rice feels wrong to me. It feels like the person was going for "pork fried rice" which should be 猪肉炒饭 but the more I think about it the less sense it makes, because 猪肉 is "pork meat" and 猪油 is pork fat/lard. "Pork meat fat" doesn't make any sense. If the 猪肉 is supposed to indicate that it's a pork dish (which is the correct way to do that), 油煎 on its own could mean fried in oil or fat, but then 油煎的米 is a super awkward way to say fried rice.

The whole "name of a Chinese dish tattooed on someone" thing suggests Chinese tattoo artist loving with a dumb foreigner, but the bad phrasing and awkward translation suggests a dumb foreigner got the tattoo as a joke making fun of people who get Chinese tattoos, and translated it badly.

I've probably thought about this tattoo more than the person who got it.

If you got a better way to incorporate acne scarring then be my guest.

Covering acne scars with a moon that looks like a pizza would be rather unfortunate considering ‘pizza face’ is a common bullying term for acne sufferers.

Hopefully the laser removal will help take off the scars as well!

The top one looks like one of those ink check things they have on newspaper pages. Maybe the person is a journalist/printed or something like that. I don’t see what’s tasteless with it...random tattoo design but not a tasteless one.

I was gonna write a long rear end post as well cause I also spent a long rear end time trying to figure out how they wrote this so weird but I’ll just say it’s stupid and also am I stupid or is that 4th character horribly written or is it just me not being able to read?

Registration marks.

Not gonna lie: I work in print and every now and then I get a wild notion that I need to just lean into it and get a CMYK/print tattoo, but there's a million different ways to go about it that would be more visually interesting than a color bar strip like that. That being said, I kinda thought it was an LGBQT-themed tatt.

Either way, I kinda like it.

I think it follows the color coding used for electrical resistors (https://www.instructables.com/id/Color-Code-and-Types-of-Resistors/). It's kind of cool, simple and colorful, though I bet the white would not last too much.

surfboards, side profile. Still bad, though. Water color tattoos never looked great to me, but I've thought of getting one of those red blotch paint tattoos that were trending a few years ago.

Those are crossed surfboards.

She originally was going to get arrows, but I guess the surfboards fit the theme better. It's really the color that I can't get over.

Yeah, the positioning is...weird. That artist's Instagram page is kind of a treasure trove. Terrible lettering plus rash, definitely a swastika in there, something is very wrong with the top clock numbering, Lisa Frank lion...and just so many watercolour bruise tattoos.

She also keeps calling trash polka "polka trash," which...might be accurate for her.
