Wow, this is a perfect post for this sub! The actual execution of the tattooing is fucking fantastic - too bad the content is pure cringe.

Behind this tattoo is several women who will pay for what one woman almost certainly didn't actually do

This tattoo is lacking skeletons to propell it above the lowly cringe into noble post-cringe.

[–] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

It absolutely needs prepended with

Listen up, liberal...

[–] GreenMario@lemm.ee 26 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Props to the artist.

If it was just the knife I'd declare this "metal as fuck" but the writing is pure nu-metal tho.

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

Not just any nu-metal. This is unwashed Korn t-shirt, poorly maintained white boy dreads, dirty jnco shorts, flame wallet (with chain) and ratty DC shoes nu-metal

Might as well just used the first line from Slipknot’s Disasterpiece, at least it’s not as emo.

It's literally a misquoted line from Bring Me the Horizon's Sleep With One Eye Open

If I had it my way I'd slit your throat
With the knife that you left in my back

That's gonna be really edgy when he's 87 at the nursing home, pushing a walker in his tank top.

I'm covered with no end of tattoos that are going to look dumb as fuck if I ever make it to that stage of life. I've never understood this logic/argument. How often do you look at a bare skinned octogenerian and think, "this dude looks fly as fuck. Must be that unadorned, albeit saggy and liver marked skin"

Dignity is a luxury if you make it to that age. Might as well enjoy my shit now

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's a lot less about the tattoo and more about the content. I've got a tattoo as well, but mine doesn't have some threat of violence.

What I thought was epic in my teens isn't quite as cool now. Having gone through enough life, I'm pretty sure the trend continues.

That's what I was getting at.

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

That's why I can't get a tattoo ever. Anything I thought was cool, 10 years later I'm like, that's some juvenile shit.

Needless aggression is a culture.

I'll go even further than think that old dudes with tats look rad as hell.

not the guy in the OP obviously.

[–] thecrotch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's because in previous generations their only tattoo would be a heart with their wife's name or a picture of the battleship they were stationed on. GenX/millennials got some cringey fucking tattoos, and they're going to be exponentially cringier when they reach Depends age. Imagine a 90 year old woman with a tramp stamp

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

there are certain websites where you don't have to imagine

[–] iorsh@kishkush.net 2 points 1 year ago

I don't have a single tattoo, but I'm totally with you here

[–] GONADS125@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Nah, he'll be killed by cops in an incel attack long before he's 80...

[–] GONADS125@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Is this the mark of the incel?

[–] half_built_pyramids@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lol who wrote the message, my dude in a mirror? lol

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yeah… why would he carve that message into his own skin? and then he put the knife back in? It makes no sense…

Lol he used the knife to carve and then put it back in lol

"I'll Sgt your throat..."

[–] Korne127@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

/shrug I like it :)

[–] egeres@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Damn, that's very well drawn

[–] Knasen@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Is it all a tattoo or is it a tattoo and scarification? Would be awesome if the writing was a real scarification!
