Man, I've been wanting to make a post in this thread for a while(well the old one technically). Yet another example of "It came from facebook", and these are all on the same chick. I met her at a roller derby convention in Vegas and she's just covered in awful tattoos that she's really proud of. Sorry that some of the pictures are a little blurry, they're all she has.

Like said, we met in Vegas, but she's from Kansas I believe, and we haven't talked since. She told me at length about them when we were drinking, but damned if I can remember now

I think he means that most tattoo shops don't have microwaves situated around what should otherwise be a sterilized, sanitary, and safe area in which food preparation never occurs. As far as tattoo parties, typically speaking it consists of a single artist bringing his or her equipment to a house full of people. The "host" gathers up everyone he knows that wants a tattoo, the tattooist offers small discounts since he isn't paying out to the parlor, and everyone gets tattooed in one night. "Tattoo party" is synonymous with poor work, which is good and bad. It's good because it tends to preclude people from participating in them, because artists who are bad in shops will be masterfully worse in homes (or worse, artists that have never worked in a shop). They don't know how to properly sterilize, lack mobile sterilization equipment (autoclaves are heavy and expensive), all sorts of bad ideas. Bad though because a good artist can work anywhere, and shouldn't be looked down on for working in a house with a properly prepared work area. I have an in-home studio with everything I need, and it's cleaner than many of the shops I've worked in. I am entirely equipped to work mobile, but since I know how to prepare, my customers are safe. You take a big gamble at a tattoo party, it's best to just never participate in one. Tattoo artists are quick to push tattoo parties because they leave with a usually large sum of cash at the end of the night, regardless of work quality. I've taken home upwards of $6,000 for a night's worth of work at a party.

WHEEZY DECK A HALL posted:This isn't something you should be proud of or bragging about FYI. I wasn't bragging. I was explaining the high demand of and willingness of people to attend tattoo parties, because someone asked what they were. And I certainly wasn't bragging about my working equipment, studio, or methodology. I've worked in a dozen parlors over 11 years in four cities. I'm proud of what I do, I'm good at it, and I know it well enough that your opinion about it means gently caress all.

I use to date a guy who made his money doing tattoo parties. He was a very skilled artist and was responsible enough to keep his tools well sterilized, but Jesus Christ, he use to go on and on about how doing the tattoo equivalent of sex toy parties was superior from working in a shop because "Those greedy managers take HALF the money you make and don't know a thing about real tattoo art! blah blah blah!", but now that I look back, I think he rode solo because he was too much of a  to deal with people in a real work environment.

I just assumed it was fresh since the website says it gives tattoo parties in people's homes. edit: never mind I'm dumb. It says at the shop. My mistake! I just saw "tattoo party" and automatically pictured some random person's living room full of drunk people. Which probably happens more often than it should.

Or you just felt like making a sweeping generalization about my taste because I don't see how those two, compared to most of the garbage in here, are really that poorly executed? Obviously they aren't the smartest people in the world, but the one guy is clearly passionate about his kid and the other likes dark iconography; neither of these things are unheard of in tattooing. Please answer the question at the very least: what is wrong with these tattoos?

Please answer the question at the very least: what is wrong with these tattoos? The Patriot looks like a deformed zombie of sorts. The kid's mouth is all messed up, the shading looks like he's got some poor disease, the lips are drawn in hard lines where as the lips should be done with a bit of shading and not just lines, also I doubt the kid is a member of the Conehead family, and his ears are different for the kind of portrait angle they were going for. Death does not sport a tiny hand, massive breasts, nor a gut.

The first thing I posted regarding the Patriot was "REFUND!" No idea where you're getting breasts and a gut from (the cloak seems to me to be billowing around a shapeless netherform), but as I said earlier, yeah the hand is awful. I had attributed the shape on the top of the kids head to the angle of the photo/curvature of the arm, same goes for the ear, but looking more closely it seems you're probably right. On closer inspection still, the mouth is indeed screwy. To the haters of this tattoo: you win this round!

I am really disappointed with my facebook. I have so, so, so many white trash idiots on there. There should be more lovely tats. Here's a friend of a friend who needs to check his photo privacy: Da Bears:  On an unrelated note, I am seriously enjoying the seasonal changes in Wheezy's avatar.

I find it so morbidly amusing that so many people have stared at the wedding photo of a dead lady because of such a lovely tattoo. I like to think that during her life she reflected on how she would be remembered after she died, and this is it. Thousands of anonymous goons laughing.

zarbicore posted:The thing that upsets me the most about this one is that it doesn't make sense. Why are there still dots behind Ms. Pacman? She's not at the starting position, so all the dots behind her should be eaten. Also, how hard is it to make every perfectly square dot look identical/symetrical? Looking back at some of the tattoos, I realize that a lot of them probably aren't the tattoo artist's fault, but rather people who brought in lovely drawings/sketches of what they wanted, and were like, "I want this as a tattoo, exactly how it's drawn, because my really creative boyfriend/girlfriend made it."

Did the artist at the "good shop" really just improvise what looks like a duck's head in front of a basketball? I can kind of understand loving up a compass (in that, uh, lines are hard?) but why suddenly decide that what he needs is Daffy looking to the upper right all the time? Am I the only one who sees a duck in the middle of that compass?
