Is this supposed to look like something, or just look terrible?

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!

For some reason, these "lovely flash/copyrighted-character designs + inscription to loved one" designs always do me in. I'm sure they have some kind of meaning to the people getting them, but if it's worth getting a tattoo in honor of someone, isn't it worth trying a little bit on the design? "Oh, my dad loved Looney Tunes! That crappy stock Bugs Bunny will do just fine; it's not like I miss him that much."

The proportions, the lady's neck and the kid biting her blouse are great. Also the prominent location on the dude's body.

I'm not sure which option is more alarming: that someone misspelled the name of the person this tattoo is memorializing, or that she(?) was really named "Isable."

What really completes this is the guy drinking a Heineken in the background.

What the hell is even going on here? Tribal? Tribal made of blades? Skin ripping away to reveal... something?

I know the correct answer is "wait 'til it gets colored, brah, it'll be awesome," but :wtc:

To be fair, I kind of feel like an immaculately-done Limp Bizkit backpiece would be worse, just because of how much more it presumably would have cost.

This one would be instantly redeemed if you covered up that dragon's sketchy-rear end smoke orb(?) with a basketball. You can't tell me that dude isn't going in hard for a monster dunk.

It's a touching tribute to the family ferret, who is kept in a barbed-wire cage for reasons we don't talk about.

I really like the concept of the hammer-and-spade/cross memorial tattoo -- it's a ton classier than the stereotypical "Tweety Bird with MEEMAW written under it" job -- but man, that shading is unpleasant.

On a vaguely related subject, I decided to go check GIS to see if anyone had one of those "skin tearing away" tattoos that was any drat good.

The results: not unless you're into unnervingly realistic muscle tone, I guess? But there were some treasures:

This just makes me imagine a scenario where this used to be a Twin Towers tattoo, but the dude ripped it off of his skin to use it as a visual aid for someone who FORGOT.

"Hm, what font should I go with for the caption on my brutal wound tattoo? Let's go tasteful all-lowercase sans serif. I wouldn't want to be gaudy while proclaiming myself to be an animal over my bloody claw marks."

Then we get into things bursting out of people's skin:

The terrifying NECK SKELETON!

The even worse SIDE EYEBALL-SKELETON WITH A HAT!

The unnervingly fat-roll-bearing SHOULDER DEER!

The surprisingly careful TOO-MANY-SPIKED SHOULDER DRAGON!

The terrible wrath of VINYL SATAN!

The... subdermal... microphone?

Imagine how scrunched up that eagle has to be. Majesty. (I want to say tattoos like this have been posted before, but still, majesty.)

"Hey, guys. What's goin' on?"

I can't tell whether this football is smashing into the shoulder or being birthed from it, and I don't really want to know.

Pretty sure those are supposed to be the person's ribs not a hat.

poo poo, I think you're right. I totally saw it as a tophat with a red center ribbon, but... yeah.

That star

It's so... afterthought-y. Like the artist spent all their give-a-gently caress on doing a pretty decent portrait tattoo, got told about the star, and just threw it on because WHATEVER WHO CARES I'M AN HOUR LATE FOR LUNCH. If it's for Blackstar, shouldn't it at least be filled in?

These mermaids want you to shut up.

I legit thought that this mermaid had a butt-wing at first glance. Now I want to see someone get a tattoo of a mermaid with butt-mounted fairy wings.

... Why does the baby just stop? Did someone forget to draw the rest of the baby? Are mermaid babies born as floating heads/torsos that grow their fish half upon puberty? So many questions.
