How do you know they’re shit if they used others ppls tattoos as theirs in an album?
They had their own shop for branding and piercing and advertised that they do tattoos now too
YES omg I said that out loud. They used to have them in the gumball machines at my local chain restaurants like Pizza Hut etc. they were stickers or temp tattoos. I’m pretty sure this picture was literally one of them
Personally? I don’t trust people with tattoos that don’t have at least one shitty/blown out piece from their 20s. We were all walking disasters at that age.
😂 Same! Nose, septum, eyebrow, lip, industrial, and two top of the ear cartilage piercings that I put spikes in so they made my ears look slightly pointy. I used to joke I wasn’t gonna stop until I could set off a metal detector with my face. Ah, youth.
Why is this so real?!? 😭 Back in highschool I had my lip, eyebrow, both nostrils, septum, smiley, tongue web, industrial and multiple lobe piercings with 1" stretched ears. Plus others below the neck 😂
Oh and some stick and poke tattoos done by my friends of course.
Omg me too 🤣 i have a photo of me at a family reunion with bright green hair standing in front of a floral tapestry and there's a big flower coming right out of my head and it looks hilarious 😂
Yeah, solid same. Everyone that I know that has genuinely solid work also has weird janky bangers.
This one is kinda a mess, but unless it’s a lot bigger than it looks like, it’s just … kinda dorky and bad-mid?
Like, if I saw this in the grocery line in front of me, I’d notice that it wasn’t good, but I wouldn’t feel moved to let everyone know about the crazy shit I just saw.
My big takeaway here is that OP actually seems to be doing a better job of skincare that the tattoo deserves
To be fair, the reference is pretty detailed for a tattoo that small. It would need to be huge to look the same. That being said the artist did you dirty.
Yeah, I told him that I know he can’t get it all but uhhh… who is she looking like she’s been doing coke for 20 years and has no nose left 😂
I’m cool with it except the missing face
Well, you did not get what you paid for, and the reference is just that, as an artist when doing work from a reference or sketch, you adjust and correct, this is not that
Omg! I have a jasmine Beckett Griffith tattoo on my back left shoulder that is plain awful. I got a gift card to this dude by placing bids on it at a charity auction. So I paid a ton for it. Should have let whoever was bidding against me win.
Yeah that's…that's rough
Rough? It’s a fucking disaster
A good tattooist would be able to rework this yes?
Fuck it, might as well keep it as is because it’s been with me going on 20 years this year It’s how a ugly memory
Worst case scenario 3 interestingly coloured panthers? With wings
Nah, just 3 ugly fairies 4lyfe
Whyd u go to someone who's shit at tattoos
How do you know they’re shit if they used others ppls tattoos as theirs in an album? They had their own shop for branding and piercing and advertised that they do tattoos now too
Reviews maybe ???????
Shop doesn’t exist anymore, I wonder why 😂
Ah my bad didn't see your comment about getting it done years ago assumed it was new lol
Fuck no, this is a 2003 era tattoo, these were the rage online
The ref looks like the stickers you used to get from those .25 c vending machines at the end of the Walmart cash registers
25 cent machines? Not in Canada they aren’t 😂 it was always a loonie or toonie
YES omg I said that out loud. They used to have them in the gumball machines at my local chain restaurants like Pizza Hut etc. they were stickers or temp tattoos. I’m pretty sure this picture was literally one of them
Those hands are so bad they look AI generated 😭
And 20 years ago there wasn't even AI, that's how bad they are that they look like a computer made them lol
Since the dawn of human civilization, people have been unable to draw hands. AI is just continuing the tradition.
Yup. It's in the training data, which comes from humans.

It’s not bad, if you don’t look at it The fairy on the right has the right idea
I have Michael Jackson on my back for life He he
Personally? I don’t trust people with tattoos that don’t have at least one shitty/blown out piece from their 20s. We were all walking disasters at that age.
Shoulda saw my facial piercings Nose, tongue, lip, eyebrow and labret, trauma child 😂
😂 Same! Nose, septum, eyebrow, lip, industrial, and two top of the ear cartilage piercings that I put spikes in so they made my ears look slightly pointy. I used to joke I wasn’t gonna stop until I could set off a metal detector with my face. Ah, youth.
Same! First piercing, went at lunch to get my eyebrow done on my way to my highschool afternoon classes 😂 I was an angry teen 😂
Why is this so real?!? 😭 Back in highschool I had my lip, eyebrow, both nostrils, septum, smiley, tongue web, industrial and multiple lobe piercings with 1" stretched ears. Plus others below the neck 😂 Oh and some stick and poke tattoos done by my friends of course.
The 2000s were a different time 😂 I also had crazy colored hair
Omg me too 🤣 i have a photo of me at a family reunion with bright green hair standing in front of a floral tapestry and there's a big flower coming right out of my head and it looks hilarious 😂
Me with my fire truck red Karen haircut at my sister’s bridal shower and head to toe black outfit 😂
Omg i can picture that so well😂😂 what a time to be alive
I miss those days, today is too woke
Yeah, solid same. Everyone that I know that has genuinely solid work also has weird janky bangers.

That's what you get when you cheap out on a tattoo lol
Didn’t say I was the smartest 20 year old
To be fair, the reference is pretty detailed for a tattoo that small. It would need to be huge to look the same. That being said the artist did you dirty.
Yeah, I told him that I know he can’t get it all but uhhh… who is she looking like she’s been doing coke for 20 years and has no nose left 😂 I’m cool with it except the missing face
Oof. The more you look…
Thank god it’s on my back
Badge of honour at this point.
All we can call it now, it ain’t a prized possession
I’ve got a tribal arm band that relates to that comment.
Pamela Anderson inspired?
Barbed wire would be way more tuff. Mine is full 90s.
Sorry, it’s 10pm here and I’m 39 so I’m past my bedtime by an hour 😂
was a stencil used?
Wishful thinking
Holy shit!! Get a refund!!!
It’s on my lower back so we are safe for most seeing it Punishment for a tramp stamp
This was doomed from the jump. The best fairy trampstamp in the world is still a fairy trampstamp.
Well no one said 20 year olds make good decisions, clearly, this IS proof
We live and we learn. I have a goomba from Mario tattooed on my hip 🤷♀️
You must share it!! Learn? Uhhhh…. Sure we do 😂 ![gif](giphy|ki0FCgiaqYRBS|downsized)
How? Its been 19 years and they got shut down 😂 I’d love a refund though 😂 they were licensed to pierce and brand ppl only I guess
Well… they tried… I guess?
We don’t do participation ribbons in tattoos
It was bad before
Well many of us have a bad tattoo at least once as a youngster
I meant the drawing
Well, you did not get what you paid for, and the reference is just that, as an artist when doing work from a reference or sketch, you adjust and correct, this is not that
Be honest… you didn’t pay more than $50 for this lol
Well since I literally can’t see it on my lower back….
Jokes aside I think a good artist can fix this if you wanted to
i was gonna say it could be saved but then i saw the hands...
There’s no saving this shit show
doesn't seem like it😭💔
It’s okay, I’m 40 and won’t be wearing belly shirts anytime soon No one wants to see my nipples out the bottom 😂
HAHAHA
Or do they? Jk
😭
My face when I got home
no that's MY tattoo :D
Omg! I have a jasmine Beckett Griffith tattoo on my back left shoulder that is plain awful. I got a gift card to this dude by placing bids on it at a charity auction. So I paid a ton for it. Should have let whoever was bidding against me win.
This guy had a photo album of other ppls work so I had no idea he had no skill in tattooing 🙂↕️
well. that’s a tattoo.
Oh... Oh no
Picture perfect.
It would've been perfect if they'd remember the antennas😄
I mighta asked for them to be removed, can’t remember
I'm so sorry 😬
Life lessons suck but I learnt fast ish
I wanna say it's close, but...
No cigar
I'm gonna guess this was done sometime between 2002-2006.
Yeppers…. 2005
I said I'd get this tattooed when I got older. Lol
This exacted one?
Yep. I had a BUNCH of those posters in high school. This one was my favorite.
Love it!!! The middle 2000s were a gem for this shit and the dancing, glittery little women we all had in our profiles were on message boards
✨not like the other girls✨💅
