Went to this ice cream shop. This lady talked about all her tattoos. They all looked awful like a toddler did them. She said that she proudly stated that all her tattoos were done by her ex.

Girl I know has a slice of drippy cheese pizza on her arm. Can't even really give a reason for it.

Poorly drawn Cliff Richard seen on a woman’s shoulder in Blackpool (of course).

Not "THE" dumbest, but my older half-sister got a breakup tattoo that said "you're loss" a couple of years ago... I don't understand how neither she nor her tattooist took 5 seconds to look up the spelling. And getting a breakup tattoo in the first place is dumb enough.

My brother got Loser down one of his sideburns. Everybody uses it against him every once in a while.

Alright, folks lock the thread, we have a winner. Lol

God, there's a huge part of me that hopes this isn't real, but I've also been on the 'net long enough to know better.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

That's just sad.

The Trump stamp.

Can we get an interview from her in 4 years?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 days ago

We can! So long as they let women speak for themselves in four years.

I once shared a hospital room with two old geezers after surgery, and one of them had a visit from their grandson. The dude had Nazi tattoos all over his face, swastikas, SS lighting bolts, 88's, the iron cross, the whole collection.

When the Nazi loser left, the old guy complained to us others in the room: "Lovely kid that... Such a shame he cannot get a job. I cannot understand why! Such a decent boy, has a forklift drivers license and everything!"

So yeah, in total that might have been the densest occurrence of idiocy I have ever witnessed.

I don't think I would have been able to hold my tongue in that situation lol. I 100% would have blurted out something about his tattoos

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Understandable. It's hard for me to shut up too sometimes when I feel like being witty, but even doped up I realised well enough that I'd be stuck there for days with a pissed off Nazi sympathizer if the gramps took it badly.

I have heard that gangs and cults sometimes use facial tattoos to ostracize their members from society at large and prevent them from forming an external support network.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

And some people do it to themselves, on purpose.

See: girl with trump face tattoo at the top of this thread.

A guy at my work got promoted to manager and celebrated by tattooing the company logo onto his chest. Pretty much everyone had to hold back laughing when he showed it off.

In my late teens, maybe 20 I worked in a restaurant and got invited to a party after work in a very rough part of town. So rough that the taxi driver wouldn't let us get out until we found the exact address (this would have been mid nineties so well before GPS nav was popular).

Anyway we get there. Folks are nice. Maybe ten in total plus the 4 of us from work. They're rough around the edges but generally salt of the earth characters which I love so it's all going well. Get chatting to one lad and he shows me his new tattoo on his forearm that his friend had done for him.

It was a palm tree on a tiny desert island with a dude sitting against the tree smoking a massive joint.

Now this monstrosity was one colour, all outlines, looked like it was done with a compass from your school pencil case and my 11 year old would have done a better job. It's very difficult to describe just how shite it was.

Felt really sorry for the lad. He was definitely going to regret it if he didn't already. Never forgot that tattoo though.

Tbf tattoos from friends have much greater value than just direct art.

I have some poorly drawn tattoos from my friends and they're still some of my favorites!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago

Yeah I can see that 100%. Makes total sense.

Sightly similar but obviously different we always do handmade birthday cards instead of store bought.

Reminds me of a dude I met at college. Had the shittiest arm tattoos known to man. I’m talking 5th grade blurry doodles. His response was, “I was trying to get with a hot girl at a party giving out tattoos”.

I think it's the one Conor Mcgregor has on his chest I can't tell if it's meant to be a monkey a bear a dog or something else.

For the cash that guy has its one terrible tattoo.

I worked in Indiana, and actually got to see that dude with the Romney campaign logo on his face.

I have a distant relative with a traffic light tattooed in the middle of his forehead, just a black rectangle with red, yellow, and green circles.

And on either side he has some graffiti style writing that I'm pretty sure says "con man"

I became aware of him because we share a fairly uncommon last name, and one day police came to my house grasping at straws looking for this guy because he had been breaking into cars, so the basically went to the first person with the same last name they could find to see if we knew where he was.

It was the first time I'd heard of him, we're not at all close with the extended family. Eventually I looked him up and found his social media with those stupid tattoos.

Have a cousin with a Budweiser logo on her lower back ala "tramp stamp".

Honestly, I think it's cringe to have any logo or IP on your body.
