You could end up with a steaming pile of poo on your back. Since they all look like s*** it's not too big of a stretch, but it is funny.

Supposed to be moths to a flame, I suppose? Whoever did the artwork sucked.

thats awesome

i think that would reason #5,428,213 not to cheat on a tatooist.

that's just stupid. my tattoo is concealed 85% of the time and doesn't look like ass, unfortunately most people get retarded tattoos that look like shit

It looks like a cartoon dudes face. The shadow in the lower back looks like the mustache.

Try a steaming pile of crap with flies buzzing around it.

And I'd guess that the artist didn't put his best pen forward, considering that he did this in revenge because the sloot in question cheated on him with his best friend.

I'm sure somewhere in the Narnia Chronicles (7 of them, not exactly a trilogy) there was a steaming pile of fly attracting poo.

That's why I pay alot of money to get tattooed by reputable artists- they have something to lose if they screw up.

^this^

My tat looks good, it's sentimental, and is covered by any type of shirt

Bwahahahahahaha!

Sean did NOT post this on facebook last week with the caption "finally did it."

HOLY MOLE-Y.

Can't get an MRI with a tattoo.

I know that this isnt the point of the thread, but want to point out that I'm a radiologist, and can say that's not true. Rarely people can have a skin burn from heating of metal in the ink while in the magnet. I've seen a few impressive pictures in lectures, but have never seen a burn IRL. They can also cause artifact that makes a scan non diagnostic. That's usually a patient with a tat right over the area of interest... often shoulders.
Even if you have heating, if you really need the MRI, a cool pack can be put on it. just let the tech know if you feel any discomfort.

My apologies for the off topic post. Carry on.

How dare you provide actual, truthful knowledge based on real personal experience on an OB thread!!

What I don't get is they actually show you the tattoo beforehand; so how do these chumps let it happen? Tattoo version of Darwinism...

this thread is cracking me up

I don't have any problem with those who go around calling it "Art" or "individuality" or saying it has meaning.

You won't catch a tattoo on me, but everyone else is free to label themselves as they see fit. Idiots.

A friend of mine has a book called "No Regrets" and is a compilation of tatoo fails...it's pretty vulgar though.

I love the "Trust Noone" tat. ...clearly she shouldn't have trusted herself, or that tattoo drawer.

About to get my first tattoo. My dad, brother, sister, and cousins are all getting our family crest (we're Scottish). As long as the tattoo has meaning and doesn't look like crap I don't know why people look down on them...

This is the outdoor board, I'd be surprised if half of us don't have ink of some sort.

over 20 years as a Marine ...no tats plenty of opportunity

My brother and his idiot wife invited me to a tattoo party one of their friends was having so I highlighted a few red flags:

quote:

A friend of mine has a friend who is a tattoo artist and she's throwing a tattoo party at her house this Saturday from 7:30pm - 1am and I thought I'd let you know if you're interested. From the work of the guy's that I've seen, he's really good and can freehand. He has lots of colors too, he's only charging $20-$30 for a small tattoo, and it's buy one get one free. (He's down on his luck, his wife died or somesuch.) If you'd like to come, let me know so I can let my friend know. Also if you have any idea what you're wanting and how big/where you want it that would be helpful information for me to pass along.

I declined the offer, but here is what they ended up with:

She got this on her right forearm, it’s a lily for her “Nana”, who died about 7 years ago, but she still talks about her incessantly. In fact she already has a tramp stamp tattoo that says “Darlin Angel” in a heart with angel wings, that’s what her Nana used to call her. Now, Nana’s favorite flowers were white tiger lilies, some obviously a purple lily was the wisest choice for a tribute :



The flower wasn't terrible I guess, but it still pales in comparison to others I've seen.

One her left shoulder we see the crescent moon that is supposed to be cradling the names of the three kids. I especially love the beautiful font they chose for the text. FYI, all of the lines are supposed to be stars, also, why is the moon so pissed off? And why don’t I see any cradling going on? Granted, only one of the kids is actually hers, my brother has twins from a previous babymomma. I blurred out the kids names to protect the innocent but he used just crappy block, uppercase letters for the text:



And my favorite, my brother showed my mom a sketch of what he wanted. It was supposed to be all three kids holding hands and
walking down the road or somesuch. My mom recalls commenting that it looked pretty basic but my brother replied that this guy was a pro and would make his sketch look just "awesome".

Now keep in mind that the two older kids are twins and should be roughly the same size. To me this looks more like a family of three (thus omitting the twins as “step kids”), but this is on my brother’s arm so who the hell knows:



My step mom thinks this looks like a creepy nativity scene.

And this my friends is why you don’t drink and ink. To recap, they were to be charged $20-$30 with by one, get one free. So they should have spent no more than $60 for three tattoos. I think they got ripped off. I also wonder which prison the tattoo “artist” was in when he learned his craft?

I’m really starting to wonder about my brother, because you can’t fix stupid, but evidently you can obtain it.

I'm not sure what the first sentence has to do with the second. If we like the Outdoors and frequent the OB then we're rednecks who make poor decisions?

I realize for some people (military) that you may have relationships/experiences that were cauterized under fire in battle. I'm okay with tattoos like that I suppose.

What is right or wrong is up to you, and its your money. But I will judge you for it. My belief is that at least 90% of tattoos are expensive, and permanent, mistakes.

Edit: I'm also not saying that you should give 2 s***s whether I judge you for it. Just trying to point out that if I do, many others do too. Like, employers (or potential employers). Frankly, I believe that visible tattoos potentially render you incapable of obtaining certain jobs.

The picture in the OP is real, but, the story is a hoax........meaning someone actually got that tat on purpose

I always wonder if the tattoo-er is a dumbass, or intentionally checks out of playing spellchecker. They'd have to be careful about not laughing in the face of their customer. "Are you sure this is how you want it to read?"

One shop said they specifically won't do fingers because of the risk of it looking really crappy - crappy as in the ink would wear badly, not accounting for the tat itself. Other than that, I guess if there's skin there, ink it up. See also the dude in the Yahoo story a couple of days ago who tattooed his eyeballs.

They sketch it/copy it onto a template of sorts and slap it on you in a washable ink so you can see what it looks like where's it's gonna be. I watched one tattoo-er work with the tattoo-ee trying to get tattoo-ee's tribal arm band (snicker) just right. Unless you went cut rate and got a dumb-on/living stupid buy-one-get-one free deal at a tattoo party, you saw what it was going to look like before it was permanent. At which point you deserve to have The Mysterious Stranger/Tim Burton version of the a Nativity scene on you 'til the end of time.

12 years ago, artists from at least two different shops were getting about $65/hour for one-off work.

I think your bro's friend's friend should seriously look into the financial windfalls of Tupperware.

My brother, sister, and BIL, have tattoos. Nothing against them, but I am in Seans's camp.

Tattoos are the worst idea ever. I can't think of many (if any) things I thought were cool ten years ago that I still am in love with. I can only reason that in ten more years I will be far different from today. whatever I decide to permanently print on my body today will be a mistake someday. haha, but that doesn't stop millions of people each year.

there aren't many dumb things that you can do that will follow you your whole life like tattoos. and the other things that follow you aren't immediately obvious - baby out of wedlock, STDs, DWI, ext.

If you're in the tattoo market or are cosidering it, have a little foresight and consider that one day in the not-so-distant future you will be older, have different tastes, and have different priorities.

I think mine probably do too, but that only adds to my conviction.
