Was it HoL that also has footnotes that sometimes span multiple pages, which did make it a pain to read?

That sounds more like Infinite Jest, which is readable because the footnotes are interesting and often hillarious.

For actual people who know what anchors mean, an anchor is about being steady and solid.

I've pondered getting a simple anchor on my forearm because that was my grandfather's tattoo and he was pretty cool, but I probably won't.

That's cool though? As long as you don't throw text at it an anchor can be a cool tattoo. It's just all these idiots that misinterpret things and get watercolor anchors with scrolls that say unsinkable or whatever in terrible kerning that are poo poo.

Oh I'm not planning to not get it because it would be a bad tattoo. After thinking about it a bit I started leaning towards not wanting an anchor on my forearm, and the "this is the same tattoo Papa had" is a bit too literal and sentimental for my tastes.

Who knows. It might happen if I decide to do a(nother) impulse walk-in some day. It's not on the "rejected" list of ideas.

I'll give you the R maybe looking a little like an A (but not really) but that O is very clearly an O and looks nothing like D at all. While that font looks dumb it's perfectly readable.

Looks like a D on the TIMG version with a quick glance. The curl on the top left could be the upper looping minim on a cursive capital D.

Personally, I love spaghetti/noodles

My search for spaghetti tattoos led me down this bizarre path thanks to google's weird algorithm.

I'm sure that someone in the other tattoo thread could be convinced to get a reaper standing on a pile of spaghetti and meatballs, holding a noodle noose in one hand with the scythe poised to sever it, and the text "boil, measure, cut."

I literally didn't consider that anyone would play with one of those things in front of other people.

But to end a dumb derail, here is a dumb tattoo:


It is the beginning of a.........I don't remember. It was a cut-n-ink scarification piece that I started on when I was like 19. The girl who was doing the cutting thought her roommate was out of town for the night but nope so we had to stop and it never got finished. Drugs are a hell of a drug, be careful out there kids.

It's a picture of someone sticking their big naked butt out from behind a curtain.

It is weird how faded that guy's pieces are, even ones with what look like vibrant colors. How important is the quality/cost of ink for that?



At least he helped this guy out a little. I can't imagine it looks very good at natural head position, though...

That is a terrible place for a smeary red tattoo.

The kerning on the second one suggests an incorrect apostrophe, but there is no apostrophe.

The first one looks to me as if it was taken from some other source - perhaps a 2000-era webcomic.

You can't trace the design well from a curved surface anyway but it would keep someone from claiming it was their past work.

Heh I bet that's how these scratchers make the knockoffs of good tattoos and have them turn out horribly - they probably just go to instagram and hit "print."

One of our fresh blue belt students just got this one done. Then he left our gym and started his own jiu-jitsu school.


For those of you that don't grapple "6-month white belt" and "fresh blue belt" is approximately "first year at community college."

Pretty sure that comic was a passive-aggressive response to the fan response to the previous comic where a weird-looking bird creature announces itself as a prostitute that Ray hired, prompting the fandom at the time to make all sorts of posts about "OH GOD WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING"

So Chris Onstad gave them a thing indeed.

That's always been my take. Back when the comics had a commenting forum, there was a veritable chorus of posters wondering what the hell that chicken thing was supposed to be, kill it with fire, etc. I don't think it's a coincidence that 3 days later, the writer gave the readers an actual body horror genitalmonster.
