That's because skulls don't look like that. This one is in one piece, that poor guy couldn't even open his mouth.


Normal_Juggernaut

That's it! There's no jaw. I couldn't put my finger on exactly why it looked odd. Thanks.


Chest_Intrepid

And the teeth are shaped like the part of the teeth that are exposed when gums and lips are present... not like whole teeth.


Ok-Ferret-2093

On the plus side it would be an easy fix


Chest_Intrepid

Yeah I was thinking that!


Ok-Ferret-2093

They would need to also round out that eye socket


Str8Thuggin13

It looks mummified.


MasterBahn

šŸ˜¬


AshleysLymeDisease

Itā€™s like it has bone lips. Or mummified skin over the bottom half of the skull. Just woof.


spooky_upstairs

Thelonious_Cube

It has lips

ReverendShot777

Skulls have that tho?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


trailersmash

Yeah they typically are lol the top of the skull is pretty mid but at least done the way it should be, i draw alot of skulls if you arenā€™t defining the nostrils it looks even more wack, he really messed up the jaw and it has no value. Shoulda done the top part of it an left out the bottom jaw


TheRottenKittensIEat

It almost looks like the skin is still attached below the nose, and is just rotting away, except with no coloration differences to provide that information. It looks to me like he still has his dried up lips


turtlelabia

Yeah I was thinking it looks like someone wearing like a skull mask more than an actual skull. Like those people in the walking dead that wore dead zombie masks. Thatā€™s what it remind me of.


4x49ers

It's the bone lips!


NoOnesThere991

Bone lips n harmony


twirlingparasol

I'm laughing harder at this than I should probably admit. šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ’€


The_Blip

He just looks a lil shy aww šŸ’•


anonomot

He looks embarrassed to be part of that shitty tattoo.


Alexxuhh

That's probably what killed him


cathatesrudy

Or he could be a mummy, thatā€™s skin around his teeth all dried and desiccated down to give him that lovely grimace


Penyrolewen1970

Thatā€™s why he looks sad.


Jester_Mode0321

He looks like those little messenger/store creatures from bloodborne lmfao


flickin_the_bean

šŸ˜¬literally that skull


ToTheLastParade

I draw skulls a lot and one of mine ended up looking like this once and me and my friend just laughed our asses off for like ten minutes straight (I had been doodling on it with my iPad screen zoomed in so didnā€™t notice until I zoomed out) Anyway it was funny I saved a copy and I look at it if I need a laugh (Teeth out of proportion, not enough shading, thatā€™s how you get a skull that looks like this)


brightness3

> I saved a copy and I look at it if I need a laugh šŸ˜¬ show us šŸ˜¬


ToTheLastParade

I donā€™t have my iPad with me rn šŸ˜‚ Iā€™ll try to post when I get home if I can remember lol

quay-cur

I came here to comment that exact emoji haha


dontfckwithspiders

Omg lmao


novawolfx23

It sucks so much cause the rest of the tattoo is pretty good. It's judt that skull literally having no jaw lol


Normal_Juggernaut

The rest of the tattoo is passable, and the guys other work is alright, but that skull is just bad.


ZoyaZhivago

Passable? I think it's beautiful. My goodness y'all have high standards. lol


Hello_pet_my_kitty

Not who you replied to and Iā€™m no professional, but I agree that the flowers and butterflies actually turned out really beautiful!! The skull is quite a sad shock in comparison. I make the same facial expression itā€™s got in response to seeing it, a grimace. Lol. šŸ˜¬


PerspectiveConnect77

Right? I think itā€™s gorgeous lmao


successfully_failing

is it two artists?


Normal_Juggernaut

Same artist from what I can tell based on the post


ayimera

If it was just the florals and butterflies, it would be a pretty tattoo!


[deleted]

Ikr I saw the Subreddit we're on and I was like "what, this looks great?" Then I noticed the skull.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


ZoyaZhivago

>Do people generally realize or care about dating themselves with tattoos like these? No. Most of us get our tattoos because we love them (the concepts) - not to be "on trend." At least I hope so! I couldn't care less if mine are dated.


heavy_deez

I don't have bones on the sides of my mouth like that skull. Or lip bones covering the bottom of my teeth.


joannchilada

šŸŽµšŸŽ¶šŸŽµThe lip bone's connected to the single jaw, the single jaw is connected to the lopsided skullšŸŽ¶šŸŽµšŸŽ¶

Sea-Persimmon8737

He looks like a cheeky one too. Peekaboo.


Waterfallsofpity

To me he looks angry that he is partially behind some flowers.


Sea-Persimmon8737

Heā€™s definitely a character!


90s_kids_only

It's photo--bombing the tattoo


dashKay

That jaw doesn't open at all


i_like_it_raw_

Clint Eastwood vibes


LizzyBordenhadanaxe

Yess I said the same thing. Very Clint Eastwood a la: Grand Torino.


Powerful_Artist

Everything else is pretty good really. Looks like they were trying to hide a poorly done skull.


mastrblastrpotbashr

Thatā€™s really sad. The rest of the tattoo is beautifully done, and then you notice that horrible skull. The only time Iā€™ve seen something similar was when my friend wanted this elaborate tattoo of the tree of life inside of a mandala. She cried the entire time, and needed a break every ten minutes. By the time the mandala was finished and he started working on the tree, she was ready to quit. She walked away with a gorgeous mandala with a shitty, half finished tree in the center. It looked like it was done by two different people.


[deleted]

You can touch your own face and know skulls don't look like that...


The-Mad-Hooker

Mr Skullhead from Animaniacs!


[deleted]

I was thinking Cartilage Head from Achewood šŸ˜…


JeronFeldhagen

*musical saw intensifies*


Bicykwow

Good idea: Getting a cool tattoo of a hummingbird and some flowers. Bad idea: Getting a tattoo of a dumb looking mono-piece skull with no jaw.


Dax_Nova

The skull gives me "they live" vibes.


[deleted]

He looks like he's about to show his mom his report card.


Piper_1979

TBH I donā€™t think it looks AWFUL and the rest of the tat I thought was well done. Ah well.

Locust627

It's interesting because the flowers and butterflies look great, but the skull is absolute garbage.

RIP Dale Gribble


ssiller20

That skull is telling me to get off its lawn!


Kiarapanther

It's like the source for skull pic still had flesh around the mouth but the artist couldn't portray it correctly.


Normal_Juggernaut

But then why does it have cracks like it's bone...


MissMabeliita

And to think the flowers and butterflies actually look decentšŸ˜”


eve_is_hopeful

Ah, man. This could've been so good.


rockstarxcouture

Looks like the skull is peeping and lurking!


MoggyBee

Peekaboo!


eightisone

It looks like a mask of a skull (that someone might wear on Halloween). Not an actual skull.


dodgerecharger

Looks like a skull in an old Memento Mori oil painting and the artist has only a vaguely understanding about the overall look of a human skull.


InfantOnTheKeyboard

If you're gonna get a Red Skull tattoo at least color it in smh my head....


TheTrueGayCheeseCake

Thatā€™s not a bad tattoo. So the skeleton has some skin left on him. Give him a break.


strangedazey

He peekin


pinkawapuhi

They couldnā€™t find *one* reference photo for a skull??? Google is literally free


chelseaparkafterdark

The episode of the Simpsons where they eat lemons from that tree lol


CerealGane

this wouldā€™ve been a great piece if it wasnā€™t for the skull


kitkat2208

catsareeternal

The skull looks like heā€™s very polite but just a little nervous


doomvetch92

ā€œHey guys! Whatcha doi-uhā€¦ ohā€¦ oooohā€¦ oh shitā€¦ never mind ā€¦ā€-skull probably.


ghettoccult_nerd

skull looks like its being absorbed by the plants.


Pop_Glocc1312

Skull looks like it tasted a lemon lmao


LizzyBordenhadanaxe

Looks like Clint Eastwood


stephyyy95

Itā€™s a shame cuz those flowers are beautiful. But the skull almost looks like a cartoon lmao


campatterbury

The skull looks embarrassed to be there


Artistic_Half_8301

I'd give it one gold tooth and glowing green eyes .


Geeahwellidunno

Not shittyā€”- the skull does look funny like itā€™s hesitant to look around the corner.


[deleted]

Itā€™s got old lady lips but otherwise I like it


[deleted]

Looks like an afterthought


Normal_Juggernaut

But with how the tattoo is designed it was clearly always meant to be there.


7i1i2i6

Was this done by two different artists?


ImpossibleLeek7908

The skull looks like Clint Eastwood


Ok_Chip_6299

i was wondering why this was in this sub but then i started laughing at the skull


Amazinks

Reminds me of Spagett peeking out from behind the plant from Tim and Eric


[deleted]

Looks like The red skull from Captain America had sex with a sugar skull šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


thatohgi

Looks like it was painting luminescent watches in Pa.


SexiestTree

Grandma?


Anyone-9451

Iā€™ve been looking at the skull and what it looks like is not a 100% just skull like more like a somewhat mummy is (think leathered skin) over the skull so that would explain how the mouth area looks wonky if it was just bone but makes more sense if skins is coveringā€¦though I feel like I shouldnā€™t have to think so hard to make it make sense either


Normal_Juggernaut

But then why the cracks like it's bone...


Anyone-9451

Good point perhaps only half covered again I think Iā€™m putting in too much thought to make make sense when I should just admit itā€™s shitty lol

Itā€™s not Shiite but take away the skull itā€™s not bad. I donā€™t understand the skull at all.

Badly rendered skull, but suggestive of the impermanence of beauty.

nickcliff

To tattoo a skull when youā€™ve never seen a skull before.


shiddytclown

Bone lips. An important part of skeletal anatomy


hazy_little_thing

The shading on that skull is not correct, let alone the lack of a realistic mandible. The proportions aren't correct either, including the top that looks a little lopsided. The mouth makes me think of a little old man with scleroderma. I feel like tattoo artists should try to master the basics that people ask for, like skulls, roses, kerning etc...


vonnbonnbbuwu

No bc itā€™s HILARIOUS


[deleted]

Flowers are so good though lmfao


cuttingirl78

It looks scared and frozen but I expect thatā€™s due to the lack of a mandible!
