thecluckmeme posted:HOL is pretty cool because, from my experience with it, it was very hard to follow. Footnotes that took up three or four pages that were just a story being told by a dude. To put it into perspective, the book's main pages are the rambling investigations of a mad man who is obsessed with a movie made about a house that doesn't make any architectural sense. The footnotes are written by the main character, who found this book in his creepy neighbor's apartment after he passed away. Everything is all topsy turvy to represent a bunch of different pieces of paper that aren't just all put together neatly, it's like a binder of poo poo loosely connected together. So a more inscrutable Pale Fire?

Heath posted:Cut off a cat's balls and gently caress up its hormones for life? Responsible pet ownership Wait, I think I have a reasonable counter to this. There's always a risk when you put someone/thing under anesthesia and the trade off just seems more justified for controlling fertility than giving you pet a sick tat.

That's most of what this guy had up on his facebook gallery. The other 75% of images was, I kid you not, little thumbnail ads like this.  I guess I can't blame him for it though. What other angle is there to compete on when your next closest shop is producing this

Scar tissue I think? Considering how the marks are behind the dandelion head and trailing off it with the seeds but the skin around the lettering is fine, I think it's a coverup/incorporation of the marks as opposed to causing them. Also fits the inspirational message.

Happy Landfill posted:Jesus, you weren't kidding about that. Of the small percentage of people that have a legitimate reaction to the ink/metals in the ink, more of them have a problem with the mercury in reds than other metals. It's possible for your basic black tat to turn into a grotesque, pus-filled monstrosity just from your body reacting to the ink; it's just not as likely as red.

ro5s posted:Does their body eventually get used to the ink and stop reacting, or do they have to get it removed somehow? No idea. You remove it by cutting it out, and there's supposedly a case of one guy ending up having to have his leg amputated from it. Spot test your tattoo inks, folks.

Fun fact: Georgia O'Keeffe actually really hated that people saw a bunch of yonic symbolism in her paintings. They were just supposed to be explorations of shape and color gradation.

 Memories from hanging out with guys who were a little to into swords and anime resurfacing... Godai is the classical system of five elements in Japan. It's from Buddism, and there's some book about swordsmanship that uses it so it shows up in white dude bushido sometimes. Not sure if it uses the kanji for wind or the one for air, and I don't know why the fifth element, ether/spirit, is omitted all together. Let's see what a GIS brings up...  Mystery solved.

KiteAuraan posted:One constant I've seen with any tattoo that implements kanji, or for that matter Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs or Chinese in any form is that they're all basically just run through Google Translate by someone with no understanding of the language in question. You can throw Latin and Greek on there, too. Especially biblical stuff because they think it'll look more profound, and I guess Latin/Greek bibles are not actually super common things with the same chapter and verse system as English ones. This has inspired me to look up bad Molon Labe tattoos, so enjoy:     The iconic Greek rat-tail helmet.

Byzantine posted:The Spartans didn't write anything down, so their enemies couldn't learn their secrets. Unfortunately, that means our only sources for them are their enemies. All this. Also Athens, the enemy doing pretty much all the writing, had a weird hate/love relationship with Sparta where they alternately admired their stoic, super-jock ways, but other times ragged on them for being dumb brutes who thought with their spears.

Scratch Monkey posted:People also usually fail to grasp that there was no monolithic Greek identity as there is today. These were essentially different groups of people who spoke more or less the same language and had similar religious beliefs but spent most of their time on conflict with each other. Yeah, but that's pretty much any place pre-nationalism.

I had the sole of my foot done and ended up not finishing it because every time the needle hit the tendon the muscle would spasm. Muscle cramps on top of the usual pain really sucked. Here's some sole tattoos to make this post worth your time. I think I got all real ones. People are way to credulous about drawn on poo poo and henna.

nerve posted:Water color is so loving BAD! Like as a style? I think watercolor tattoos are kind of fascinating because technically and stylistically they're pretty drat cutting edge, but the actual content of them is largely the kind of photoshop kitsch you usually see accompanying inspirational quotes on Facebook. It's like playing Firework on a Stradivarius. Prime example:

gamera009 posted:There is nothing technically cutting edge about being sloppy, and cutting out all of the actual technique that makes a tattoo last longer than a few months. Technically as in technology. While other styles benefit from what you can do with the newer inks, watercolor tattoos wouldn't exist without it. And dropping outlines has gone from lazy to deliberate stylistic choice at this point, even if it's a dumb one in the long run. You can stomp your feet and huff that they're stupid and won't last and yadda yadda, but my point still stands that watercolor tattoos embody what's new and changing in the art of tattoo. They are entirely dependent on the best technology in color and application, as well as a deliberate change in technique from traditional methods. That's cutting edge, even if it's not necessarily good or guaranteed to stick around for a long time.

poo poo poetry is a low bar, but come on. Like a soldier standing On two feet I won't Surrender nor will I retreat. What does it matter if metaphorical soldier is on two feet? Well it wouldn't rhyme without it, and that's important so lets break up the verse so the rhymes are randomly scattered through it.

Thin Privilege posted:Nothing can top Lady Gaga's horrifying and terrible Bowie tattoo If Gaga got a good tattoo of Bowie it wouldn't look right with all her other lovely tattoos. Bad celebrity tattoos are one of the great mysteries. All I can figure is that they aren't willing to research a good artist or wait on an opening in their schedule, and so they just go with so-and-so from their circle's cousin who can be at their hotel room in an hour with an ounce to get them through the process.

DumbparameciuM posted:White Lions are known to have a really high rate of genetic defects due to massive inbreeding: True, but that's a tiger. Actually reading up on it, a lot of the problems with white tigers and lions are traits of albinism, not inbreeding. Not that the inbreeding isn't a problem too, but they're just genetically kind of hosed up even before they started compounding it with all the cousin-loving. there wolf has a new favorite as of 23:00 on Mar 9, 2017 |
