Unfortunate Tattoos.

i don't care if it's for you, it's upside down.~ (THIS BLOG IS 100% OPINIONS, but it being opinions does not make it any less right. i am not a professional tattoo critic. this is simply a hobby. if my opinion offends you, please never log in to the real world. i won't bite, feel free to send asks.)

Seriously, why be so negative about people's tattoos? Some people like what they hav done and do it for a little confidence boost but here you are, just shooting them down :(

don't get a tattoo if you're gonna whine when a stranger calls it bad. you're gonna hear a lot worse if you have tattoos. when i first started this blog, i assumed maybe a handful of people would complain about me, a complete stranger to them on the internet, reblogging a photo they posted and tagged on tumblr, calling it bad but the majority do and that saddens me. i was under the impression people were smart enough to wait to get a tattoo until they could properly handle criticism, or at least until they were secure enough with theirselves to not give a shit. that's what i did, that's what's recommended to do. i stay away from this blog a lot now just because it's so ANNOYING to see all these kids getting shit tattoos and posting them to be "cool" and then throwing tantrums when told the truth about them, and threatening to kill me, or rape me, or telling me to go kill myself, or calling me cuss words like cunt or bitch, all because i tagged their tattoo as bad? what little babies, like seriously. i had wrongly assumed there were more sensible adults here than not. i love the smart, mature people who follow me, who love to discuss tattoos as much as i do, who love to swap ideas and get advice and learn, and that's the only enjoyable thing about this, is teaching what i know and learning what i don't. that's why i stay. this is the internet, guys. don't take it so seriously and if you can't, then log off. rant over.

If you want to see the worst bunch of cliche tattoos in the world just google "Les Mis tattoos". I thought Harry Potter fandom tattoos were boring, cliche, and bad but these... Jesus! What's with the wall of texts and crappy portraits of Child Cosette?

it saddens me but like 90% of ALL fandom tattoos i see are just utter shit, the only time i ever see a majority of good is star wars tattoos. cmon fandoms step it up

I know pain is different for everyone, but how bad would a tattoo on my inner ankle be? I wanna start with something small to make sure I definitely want tattoos before getting bigger, more visible pieces, and to gauge my pain tolerance. But I don't want to start in a super painful place either! Thanks :)

it all depends on how you handle pain! your ankle is bony so it will definitely hurt more than somewhere fleshy like your arm. if you really want and love your design, it's worth it. i wish you the best!

If someone is heavily tattooed does that mean it ok to have rubbish tattoos? Checkout evencowboysgettheblues on Instagram. She works at a tattoo shop is heavily tattooed and they are rubbish

i'm unsure what you're asking? obviously it's not cool to get bad tattoos but people get them. sucks though, that's for sure

Does anyone on here have there shin tattooed if so how awful was you're experience thank you

i don't, but it's important to remember everyone handles tattoo pain differently

hey, just wondering what you think tbh! The one on my arm has been a real nightmare though. The lines were awful and I had to get a second artist to fix them up. He ended up having to shade in the back to hide some lines that didn't even make sense but there was nothing he could do to fix the shitty letter spacing. And I got my crow one for cheap on friday 13th cause I saw him on a flash sheet and he was already on my list of tattoos so I went for it. I could have got a better one tbh. - well the cupcakes are fucking ADORABLE to say the least! and it looks like that artist did a good job fixing up your arm tattoo, the linework looks great now. it looks unfinished because of the coloring and at first glance it looked muddled but it looks nice! and haha yeah the 13th one ain't so great but at least you can acknowledge it!

I’ve been getting some questions about my tattoos. Here they all are. I’m allergic to Red dye #40, so to be safe I get all of my tattoos in black and white. 

1. “You are my sunshine” Is on my left shoulder, and it is the first tattoo I ever got. My grandma used to sing this to me. It’s in honor of her. I got this one on February 14th, 2011 (My 18th birthday) 

2. “Expecto Patronum” is on my right foot. The second tattoo I got. There are no words to explain the impact that Harry Potter had on my life. The English translation of this phrase is “looking for a protector”, which I loved, even outside it’s meaning in Harry Potter. (June, 2011) 

3. A barber pole on the outside of my left bicep. My grandfather was a barber. The pole stood outside his shop until his final days. (March of 2012) 

4. “Be Not Afraid of Greatness” is on the inside of my right bicep. (For those of you who know the context of this quote within the Shakespeare play, I know, I know.) I always loved this quote, despite it’s pretty dirty meaning within the context of the play. (June of 2012) 

5. The three stars from the Chicago Flag. These represent home, and then my family. One for my mom, my dad, and my brother. (2013) 

6. “Be Kind” on my right wrist. I watch Ellen Degeneres everyday. At the end of her show, she says “Be kind to one another”. I got this in January of 2014, as a reminder of my New years resolution, which was to be more kind to the people i my life. 

7. The Chicago Blackhawks C and Tomahawks on my left ankle. My love of the Blackhawks is forever immortalized. (June 2014) 

8. The Chicago skyline on my left forearm. This is my favorite, and most recent tattoo. Chicago is one of my favorite places in the world. I feel so at home here. (December of 2014)

Got my first tattoo today… And like a sissy nearly passed out.

[fortunate-daydream-deactivated2]

My first tattoo :)

[f-ragilespine]

Got my first tattoo today to remind me that I have been my best supporter and hero. I got myself the help I needed in the darkest slump I’ve experienced and got myself out of the most toxic relationship so far in my life, even at the moments where I felt as though I deserved it. I got myself up and I will always aspire to be my biggest supporter. This line is from a beautiful poem written by inkskinned

No one's being a whiney baby? They just want their tattoos off your blog. That doesn't speak badly of them, just of you for not doing it when they asked nicely.

we know it's you lol, and i'm glad you like your tattoo! the photo is staying up. this is tumblr. have a good one!

[unfortunate-tattoos]

No offense, but people can be ready for tattoos and still get their feelings hurt.

yes! but if you were ready for a tattoo, you'd know people say things about them no matter how good or bad it is and you'd take it in stride. you wouldn't be a whiney baby.

[unfortunate-tattoos]

no offence, but if someone says that something you said was hurtful then wouldn't you want to take it down? I don't know but i think it's wrong for you to turn them away after they rationally asked you to please take it down.

if your feelings are gonna get hurt by a stranger on the internet calling your tattoo bad, you weren't ready for a tattoo, haha.

[unfortunate-tattoos]

lol after you said your a woman your opinion just means zero shits because women tend to go after each other for no reason where as men usually don't gaf and mind their own business. You should try that :)

lol stop sending me anons, ya sexist.

How hard is it to cover red ink? I have a sideways quote on my forearm in red ink and I'm looking to get it covered but I don't wanna make a bad situation worse.

that kind of depends on what you're looking to cover it up with! red ink should be just fine covering, it's dark ink that's usually tough. cover ups work out best when your design is very vibrant and colorful. research artists in your area who specialize in cover ups and talk this over with them! wish you the best!
