There aren't very many bad math tattoos.




This one is called "Feared of Math". Those look like dates,not math, and the poster didn't include any other information. I'm just gonna take it as "Numbers make angels cry".


Ooo. Fanily is forever!

Found under "infinity tattoo". That's supposed to be an infinity symbol.

Another one:


Is this a reference that I just don't get? The "fanily" thing. There are a lot of similar tattoos, all with the same misshaped "m".

I don't think stupid infinity tattoos are going anywhere. I was wondering if the "n" in "fanily" was a reference to something in pop-culture that I don't know about.

A long time ago when the goon tattoo thread was still in GBS I posted in there asking if the big shop in my college town was any good and some kind goon pointed out everyones favorite portrait tattoo and instructed me not to go there. Someone just recommened the artist responsible, Dennis Foust, to a friend of mine on facebook looking to get tattooed. While explaining why not to go to this guy I discovered that the portrait got touched up recently by someone who isn't terrible.

I think it's pretty obvious that the sentiment they're going for is "family is forever". Though I can't explain the M beyond a general inability to write cursive.

The tattooer is not a douche bag or a Nazi, or a Nazi sympathizer because he tattoos some Nazi poo poo in the same way it doesn't make him a Native American for doing a Native American design/tattoo.

Because, as we all know, tattoo artists are bound by law to do business with anyone and do anything they want, even if it conflicts with the artist's beliefs or morals. I've known people who have had to go to multiple artists to get something done because the thing they wanted had either been co-opted by white supremacists (like the Valknut) or the artist thought it was a Nazi symbol (a Hindu friend who wanted a religious piece done that incorporated a swastika). In a profession where your portfolio is walking around on someone else's skin, a lot of artists just don't want their name or their shop being associated with that.

I know it's not universal, but the few artists I've seen who were OK with doing a piece like that were just as OK with the implication as they were with the money.

"I admitted that I'm going to receive criticism for this so that means that your criticisms are invalid! ;-*" already shows to me that the artist is a massive douchebag so that choice quote is already wrong on one count.

I wouldn't expect the average American to know about Teds right offhand, they'd think you're a shaving nerd. (Ed: If you hang with Brits or a rockabilly crowd though...)

The subject matter is loving awful, however it was clearly done by a skilled artist. Same as you can appreciate the skill that went into the tattoo and pass over the symbolism, I can think the tattoo itself is lovely, no matter how much skill went into doing it.

One of my tattoo artists explained a while back that you never do anything white supremacy related. Once you tattoo it on one person, you'll have every racist moron within 400 miles coming to your shop because you are willing to tattoo that crap on them.
