This one bothers me the most. The piercings are going to be directly under the waistband of her jeans. Ow ow ow ow. If they aren't catching on the moving, pushing,


Yeah those piercings probably lasted like five minutes. Possibly the actual worst place on the body to get dermals?

I kind of feel bad posting it, but when I saw this "semi-colon exploding into birds" tattoo on my feed I immediately thought of you guys

Why is the semicolon wrong?

SUPERMAN'S GAL PAL posted:

This is addressed earlier in the thread but the semicolon was popularized after a viral story a few years ago where the original tattoo owner shared it was her way of coming to terms with surviving a suicide attempt (semicolons indicate a pause in a sentence, but not a full stop). Some argue getting a tattoo representing someone else's personal experience because it mirrors your own is tasteless, some feel it's thoughtlessly overused. Then you have the overall issue of so many being poorly done, inexcusably so for what seems to be a simple design. Sadly she did commit suicide in the past few months, so a recent semicolon tattoo may come off tasteless for that reason.

Bombadilillo posted:

Its supposed to be where a sentence could have ended, but didn't.

But that's not what a semicolon does. Its not for a pause. Its to connect two related but seperate clauses.

Its a weird situation where the definition the tattoo havers are going with sort of fits if you squint hard enough. Its a bit dumb but gaining popularity among people who couldn't use it in a essay without getting circled in red ink. Mostly now its almost but not nearly as popular as an anchor or a dandy lion blowing into birds generic suburban 20s tattoo. Like the tramp stamp of the late 90s. Its a fad.

I could get a period and say. "that part of my life is over. I'm starting a new sentence." Which to me is just valid as "it means a sentence could have ended, but didn't" only it actually fits grammer.

Sorry for not answering the question earlier, Barudak. I posted that tattoo not too long after a thread conversation about semi-colon tattoos and their symbolism, so I thought you were asking why it was wrong as in why was it backwards, in which case the answer would have been 'it was taken in a mirror'

Like the above posters said, semi-colons are a modern tattoo trend/fad representing a fight with mental illness and having made it past a suicide attempt [e] or a serious contemplation of attempting suicide [/e]. The reasoning behind it is that suiciding would be the end to your sentence; a semi-colon, therefore, which continues a sentence but does not end it, represents moving past that potential full-stop instead. It's really not a great analogy though because like Bombadillo said a semi-colon function is linking two separate and related sentences, rather than indicating a pause followed by a continuation, which is more of a comma thing.

There's any number of different reasons, several mentioned by SGP and Bombadillo, why this is silly or misguided, but as another grammer [sic] nerd, tattooing a misunderstanding of a semi-colon's function stands out to me :downs:
