How did this horrible tattoo even happen?

How could a tattoo this awful even happen? The tatooist had to have been drunk or on meth or somethng…isn’t there some kind of regulation of tattoo parlors? :eek: Does the tattoo-ee have any legal recourse? :confused:

Wastin’ away again in Margaritaville?

Jimmy Buffett

That’s done in someone’s kitchen by some person who has high self esteem but no talent as an artist. Gad, look at that stupid script and the leopard spots. Remarkably the recipient has no taste for aesthetics either, so maybe the artist and client are a good match.

Is that even legal? :eek:

What does the tattoo say, anyway?

Supporting the fighters
Admiring the jfhfdhskfhgbdjddfg

???

What a terrible waste of prime tattoo real estate.

I just hope it’s not a real tattoo.

ETA: But speaking of dumb tattoos

LEOPARD SPOTS! Thank you! I was trying to figure out what the blobs were.

Admiring the survivors
honoring the <taten??>
and never giving up hope

Maybe that’s supposed to be “fallen”.

Or maybe “taken”.

Of course it’s real. A leopard can’t change it’s spots. :smiley:

I wonder whats printed on the other side? :stuck_out_tongue:
Probably something just as bad.

The “leopard spots” are obviously faces. Faceless faces of the many fallen.

I bet there’s some over-the-top patriotism / jingoism here, or else the tatooee lost a family member over in Iraq / Afghanistan and this is some ill-considered attempt at a memorial.

That’s what I’m wondering, too. How do we know it’s a permanent tattoo?

Breast cancer. That’s a pink breast cancer awareness ribbon in the middle.

I’m pretty sure it’s real, as evidenced by the redness and slightly “puffy” look, of the skin. :frowning:

All I can say, is that it definitely does not, look like the work of a professional tattoo artist. :dubious:
Hell, I’ve seen much better “prison” tats, that were done with (what could best be described as) “primitive” (ie: homemade, out of the crudest materials you can possibly think of) instruments! :eek:

I’m going to have to concur with LSLGuy on this one, it’s probably, “some over-the-top patriotism / jingoism here, or else the tatooee lost a family member over in Iraq / Afghanistan and this is some ill-considered attempt at a memorial.” :smack:

At least they’ll be able to hide it underneath their clothing, after they “sober up”, and get a good look at it! :stuck_out_tongue:

It doesn’t look pink, but I think you’re right. Nice thought, but a really awful tattoo.I mean, shit, the artist even had to correct his/her spelling on “supporting” (look at the r). Ouch.

It’s strange, on the one hand, it has the welted look and ink spread all over her back that makes it look real, OTOH, the pink on the ribbon doesn’t look very real at all.

Having said that, I wonder if the words are something written by a little kid (handwriting and all).

They probably didn’t have access to “real” tattoo ink, and made do with something they found. :stuck_out_tongue:
(Or else they “concocted” something from scratch, on their own.) :eek:

I’ve filled in a few more holes:
Supporting the fighters…
<ribbon>
Admiring the survivors…
Honoring the <something>
and never giving up hope.

The “G” in “admiring” looks like a 3rd grader who just learned cursive sketched it out.

It looks like cake frosting.
