I think it's supposed to be the hole for the clock key.

The hosed up numbers on that tattoo are so distracting. Also, it looks like a tumor.

It is meant to be a dew drop on the petal of the rose. There is another below and between the III and IIII. It is a "realistic rose : 101" of the tattoo world that any good artist drops after getting better at realism cos it just looks shite. Always.

I think the idea is that it's supposed to make his face look like a Lego man head/top-of-head-nubbin? I'm guessing based on the yellow work on his face, which must have hurt like a bitch and (if I recall correctly) fades out really fast. Good work!

What?! There is no yellow there. Its just a lovely photo where the levels are hosed.

It is simply a poo poo tattoo of a hairline with an extra line thrown in because meth.

I appreciate that this guy has chosen to get a list of his friends' names tattooed on himself, rather than choosing some arbitrary symbol/letter/number combination and convincing the entire reluctant group to get matching tattoos.

What makes you think that not everyone on that list has a similar tattoo with one name changed?

Doubly awesome is the fact that behind the penis bulldog it appears to be a map of England alone, but has the Union Jack on it. It could just be shittily drawn, but Scotland's definitely not there, and Wales if it is is kinda smushed and deformed, and no sign of northern ireland naturally.

The Union Flag is also wrong, the thicker part of the diagonal bars goes round in a clockwise fashion:

It is uneven though.

It isnt. Womens breasts arent symmetrical and a lot of artists consider that and so the designs look a little 'off' in a photo, but in person, when the woman in question isnt holding herself, would look just fine.

Right, and I'm sure you'll also say every set of wings is a complete ripoff of the first person that ever had them done. I'll meet you halfway and say 'inspired by', but the one originally posted is different enough that I'd say it can't really be called a ripoff. Side question, what happens to large sleeves if the person tans? How physically deep in the skin even is the change of skin color? Do certain inks/colors basically have UV blocking properties that would make any change of color blotchy rather than uniform?

Ink is under your skin. Not on top of it. It doesnt have any UV protective properties.

Infact a lot of the inks break down and turn blotchy as gently caress with UV exposure so tattoos should really be kept out of direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time.

Elayne Angel's wing tattoo is actually a registered trademark. http://www.needlesandsins.com/2013/02/tattoos-trademark.html

She can register it as much as she wants. She cant enforce it and so if it ever went to court it would be thrown out in an instant as she has made zero attempt to protect her trademark.

That and a judge cant tell someone to get lazer removal or a tattoo cover up so cant even fine a copycat as they would still be permanently in breach.

All that legalise poo poo is just some attention seeking.

This reads like a loving white board in an episode of House.

No, no they wouldnt.

You dont need "anal leakage" appearing in Papyrus on your arm at any point in your life. You want a diagnosis you go to a doctor, not a tattooist.

Also, EMT's are told to ignore any tattoos indicating medical conditions, they only look for them bracelet things for diabetics or other conditions.

Not finished. It hasn't even been cleaned yet. You can see the yellow ink smeared into the blue and around the bottom. Most likely the picture was taken mid-session because customers love doing that poo poo even though its not done yet.

If it were still in progress that would be red as gently caress getting solid shading like that.

Im thinking it is either intentional to highlight Worst. Tattoo. Ever. Or the guy tapped out.

You see your hands fingers a lot too. It not mysterious.

Not saying this is you, but every upside down tattoo there's some goon who can't handle that someone would get a tattoo for themselves to look at and not others.

I personally get all my printed t-shirts custom done upside down so that i can read them when i look down at my torso.

This same idea extends to literally anywhere on your body. If you can't parse something that is tattooed on your body just because when you look down at it you see it as upside down then you're are probably so retarded that you shouldn't be allowed to sign the consent form to get the drat thing.

Serious question: How do you draw a tattoo this perfectly round? Trace a circle on their skin and hope your arm doesn't wobble while following the line?



Errr... you do know how a tattoo is performed right?

That design would have either been done on a computer, or by hand, with a compass to draw the perfect circle and matching vertebrae. It then would have been ran through a thermalfax copier to apply the design to some carbon paper, and then that would have been transferred onto the client's skin. Voila, you have a perfect circle to follow with your tattoo machine.

Perfect geometric shapes aren't a new thing in the tattoo world.

Super fine lined shite however, is relatively new, and people are flocking to it like flies on poo poo in an attempt to be unique and different. The fallout in a years time will be palpable.

See HERE for an article on what i'm going on about.

Or just look at this:



And if you think that one is just an amateur copy of another this pretty much shows it is the same tattoo just months apart:



Take note of all the fine lines in the hair and beard, the detail in the forehead, between of the nose ridge, in the cheeks... all faded to gently caress all.

That is hyper realisim in tattoos my friends, and it's gonna be loving hilarious when people start realising how poo poo it really is.

I found this piece from three years ago about the zombie face tattoo with uncropped photos: http://news.bme.com/2012/09/11/fraud-in-tattooing/.

Did you find that in the post I made about it?

It is the same tattoo on the same person. It had a touch up which is why some of the lighter parts were made darker and the eyes are completely different. But i 'think' it was still a touch up done by the original artist. It's just the fact that hyper realism in tattoos just does not last.

The fault lies squarely at the foot of the tattooer knowing it's going to look like poo poo in 6 months but doing it anyway.

Out of curiosity, at the risk of a derail, does this sort of behavior get phased out of the industry? Do artists eventually steer people away from that poo poo or something? Seems incredibly selfish to tattoo with those mores.

It doesn't get phased out, it gets worse. Pictures float around the internet and a bunch of uneducated idiots come into studios insisting that's what they want.

Good artists will turn them away.

Desperate or greedy 'artists' will straight up copy that poo poo and do what the client wants to make a buck.

There are far, FAR more of the latter kind of people.

I actually like both the lips and the hummingbird. They're not bad and pretty creative ideas.


The problem is the artist has an elementary school level understanding of perspective. The cross is thick as gently caress and juts out to the left, but the hammer's teeth juts out to the right. And the spade and the handle of the hammer are both completely flat with no rounding or perspective at all. The text is kinda awkward too and not well centered.

I'm not even an artist and it really jumps out at me. Where is the vanishing point? There are several :haw:

Its a horrible tattoo and belongs in this thread.

You are assuming they are an artist at all. I wouldn't be surprised if that's just a bunch of images or other peoples tattoos mashed together in Photoshop and made into a stencil.

Just hook it into your arteries with a little turbine and it'll stay powered for as long as you're eating double cheese burgers!

(i'm kidding, LED's use next to no power, the battery should last for 100,000 hours or some bollocks like that, so it's around 10 years before it quits lighting up, at which point you just replace it with whatever new tech is out then)
