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.

It absolutely needs prepended with

Listen up, liberal...

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

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.

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 9 points 2 years 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

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

"I'll Sgt your throat..."

Damn, that's very well drawn

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

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.

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.

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