Keeping with the theme of tribal-ish tattoos, I bring another chapter from "It Came From Facebook." At first, I wasn't sure about this one, but the more I look at it the more I laugh.

That tattoo is horribly done. Bad line work, the shading is very questionable and the dragon looks like it has chromosomal issues.

It kind of looks like the pictures we've seen of stolen tattoos. Like the original was far better, but the tattoo artist that copied it couldn't capture the awesome.

Edit: Dammit. I can't find that tumblr.

God, the image search has several different people that this could be from. All do sell flash, so maybe it was a mash-up of their flash or something, and then put in with crappy lines and questionable color.
Although, it looks closest to Valerie Vargas work. Or Amy Williams.

I looked that up too, but I don't think it's supposed to be a stylized princess mononoke. The asiany animal head hats on cartoony girls seems to be pretty popular lately.

No one ever asks if Bender would like to live in a tiny little house. Not that I would. A tiny little house that says "Bender" on it.
I think that's supposed to be a wolf, not a dragon. Look at it's ears - not only that, but the women in the tattoo is dressed in Native American garb, so it would make sense that she would be wearing a wolf pelt like that.

Both of them appear to have slightly lazy eyes, the perspective of her nose switches from a side view at the bridge to a frontal view at the tip, the lips don't match the perspective of the face and what the hell is up with that tumor she calls a chin bulged up over her lower lip?

Seems to me that this is the proper thread for that tattoo.

I opened my own tattoo studio just this week. My first walk in client asked for the infinity symbol with some arabic writing around it. They admitted not knowing how to read, write or pronounce arabic but 'liked the way it looked' even though all we had as reference is what they had seen on an internet translation. I had seen this poster before they'd walked in and cringed so hard.

I decided to go search for examples or possibly where the tattooist got the pieces for the wolf head thing again, since the more I look at it, the crappier the "artwork". But here's one that came up in the search that has nothing to do with that argument.

If I had to guess who that wolf head tattoo was ripped from I'd say Sagent Staygold since it looks an awful lot like a poor quality rendition of his work and he does a ton of Cowboy/Native American styled flash.

Good call! I still haven't found the references, but his lips are flatter than most of the other artists I've been going through and his noses have variety (instead of only drawing one kind of nose on all pictures.) By flat, I mean that there is less definition in how he draws the lips, which might cause a less skilled artist to not quite understand what they are seeing, making them draw lips like the ones in the wolf head tattoo.

That's a great first client though because there's no way to gently caress it up :haw:

Looking at her Facebook, the other ones seem to be about the same quality. It's a shame because she's otherwise very pretty.

/edit: ^^^^ really? drat, my money was on "poor literal translation".

I think he went for "I'll walk my [own] path" or something like that, but thought it up in English and then translated it (rather poorly) word-by-word, which would explain the choice of words, grammar and the weird connectors. I don't think the person who wrote that knows a whole lot of Japanese.

I know the guy who did that tattoo. He's an American, but has lived in Japan for over 10 years now and has a masters degree in Japanese language. Also he's a great tattooist.

Do you have any clue how hard it is to even draw a damned pinecone? Much less tattoo one. It's well stylized and colored.

I don't know why you'd want a pinecone on your body, but hey, maybe it means something to them.
