Right, the Texas tattoo would be my first priority, too ๐Ÿ˜…

Are they registered at the local meth house?

Congrats on the baby

I'm always resistant to throwing trashy around. It just feels really shitty to judge that on one picture. Some tats, it really can be the angle or lighting that makes a difference.

But, sometimes, you run across a pic like this where there's so many problems I just can't think of a better word for the tattoos.

Bad placements, bad techniques, bad designs, bad everything. Like, if you're gonna do face ink, make sure they're well executed.

There is a certain degree of intentionality to some people's choices of bad tattoos, where it's a form of self expression to have badly done or otherwise bad ink. But this doesn't look like that, it just looks like someone thought these were good and doesn't know better.

Lest we forget to specifically mention out "bad content" when there's a meth pipe on his neck

That looks like a lighter and a spoon.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago (4 children)

What does that make it, crack or heroin? I don't know much about this topic.

Probably on meth when he had them done. He just warning people to stay away from him.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

Yeah, that's true. I tend not to think about that as inherently bad. The same thing on a thigh under shorts might be dubious, but not the same way when it's on the neck, if you get the distinction I'm using

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Is that a meth pipe, or a lighter heating up a spoon? I think we need to track down the original artist here to confirm.

Edit: there's quite an interesting debate in the comments about this already ๐Ÿ˜…

There's an entire hand covering her face, there's no way to make it "clearer". Might as well let an ai guess what she looks like.

Why not ask them to take another picture? Is this the only one in existence? Did they agree to the wedding invite?

[โ€“] [email protected] 28 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Not sure if this is so much better

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I mean, remove a couple of the other tattoos and it's basically presentable.

[โ€“] [email protected] 36 points 5 days ago (5 children)

So, changing everything about them and it becomes an OK picture.

How can you make yourself more unemployable than having a visible face/neck/head tattoo?

It's a badly drawn crack pipe...

[โ€“] [email protected] -1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Not everyone prioritizes "employability" as much as you

Edit: I just realized what community I'm in- nvm. I should probably just block this community

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

But how is he gonna pay for his drugs without a job???

[โ€“] [email protected] -1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Being traditionally employed is far from the only way to afford things/ get drugs

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (7 children)

You can still do fun stuff like prostitution, selling your parents stuff or mugging people. Yay!

You can't even hide it

All the tattoos look like he did them himself in front of a mirror

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

A mirror in a funhouse

[โ€“] [email protected] 22 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

I shouldn't know this but I think it's a meth pipe.

Meth would also explain the other tattoos.

[โ€“] [email protected] 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Or a spoon to heat up heroin perhaps?

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Definitely possible but he'd have less energy to get shitty tattoos

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Good point :D

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (5 children)

Why do I think he is absolutely stunning? Even with the tattoo's?

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Self-destructive tendencies?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Probably. But I do have a thing for straight dum rednecks I have no idea why

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I dunno, he's a decent looking guy in terms of facial features. Wouldn't go as far as stunning, but I'm not attracted to men, so my perception is likely off in that regard.

The tattoo's are terrible but same time it works on him

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The tattoo is are terrible?

[โ€“] [email protected] -4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Well yeah. Backwards font and a meth pipe on his neck. I mean I partake in that too but I wouldn't get it tattooed on me. Especially on my neck. There's a huge stigma for using something that is basically a stronger but more neurotoxic ADHD medication. I'm not trying to glorify it, nor do I think everyone should do it, but the stigma is ridiculous. To have it tattooed on your neck is just asking to be discriminated against

What do you think apostrophes are for?
