Your Tattoo is Dumb

New blog dedicated to discouraging dumb tattoos. I am just one person, but I am very interested in the art of tattooing and I am friends with a couple of tattoo artists. I love traditional tattoos and hyper-realistic portraits. Before you ask: I am tattooed, and some of my tattoos are very dumb. If you ask nicely, I will show you. :) Tagged::Bad Ideas Tagged::Bad Tattoos Tagged::Cliche Tattoos If I've posted your tattoo and you'd like me to take it down, just ask me (politely). I'm not as much of a douchebag as you'd think. SO THEN WHAT IS A "GOOD" TATTOO?!?

This is my first tattoo done by Robert Gilster at Ikon Tattoo in Kearney, Nebraska, USA.

It is the pawprint of my cat Shananay who died in February. RIP.

Hi, I was just wondering if you have any tattoos that are the same as the ones commonly featured on your blog, such as infinity symbols, birds, anchors, etc.

Nope, I don’t. Thank god!

[yourtattooisdumb]

one day you're going to look at this blog and realize that all it does is encourage your negative side. for every constructive comment you post, there are dozens of comments that are just cruel and don't offer any helpful advice. yeah, it sucks that people are out there getting bad tattoos, but all you're doing is hurting people. personally i'd be really unhappy with myself if i realized that the main purpose of my blog was to hurt people and make them feel bad. something to think about.

Lol, no, the point of this blog isn't to hurt people. Having said that, you aren't very perceptive, now, are you?

Something to think about.

my bestie and i have been wanting this for awhile. We finally got it !!!!! XDDD

[yourtattooisdumb]

First tattoos on your hands? Ugh.

Also because of the thickness (and shitty font, and shitty placement), those letters will all blur together in a matter of months and it'll look even worse.

[yourtattooisdumb]

My tattoos aren't even on your blog, but I am absolutely disgusted by how ignorant you are. If you have dumb tattoos then why don't you let someone pick at them and criticize everything about it. Not only is this blog entirely rude to the person with the tattoo, but it is also rude towards the artist. You are not a tattoo artist and you clearly have nothing better to do with your pathetic life. You aren't an expert so stop pretending to be with your stupid blog. Piece of shit!

I lift weights for 3.5 hours a day, I’m a college student with a 3.4 GPA, and I have a job. What do you do every day? :)

Oh, and plenty of people have criticized my dumb tattoos, but nice try.

Another submission - I think I enjoy making fun of myself too much. 

~quintessential girly bow tattoo!!!!~ pro-tip: if your tattoo consists of mostly lines, go to someone who has done a lot of line work !! I went to my scratcher friend for this  and I am pretty sure I was one of the first 20 or so pieces he ever did... and hence. I'm thankful that I think the bow still looks good and I still love it but seriously, those lines. those fucking lines. 

As an aside, I think it should be noted that a lot of the "bad" that we see on your blog - such as bleeding lines, colour that is falling out, shaky lines - are things that I ended up learning the hard way, by watching as my tattoos healed that way. They were things I didn't even know where possibilities. Which is fine - everyone starts off with little to no knowledge - but which is also why I think blogs like this are really beneficial. 

Hi guys this is a SUBMISSION these are not my tattoos lolol

Thanks for submitting this! <3

[yourtattooisdumb]

Hey! (: I love your blog, and I truly love all the bad tattoo blogs. I was thinking about getting a tattoo, but I think I wanted one, just to have one, you know? Blogs like yours have changed my mind haha. Anyways, I was wondering if I could see your tattoo! (:

Aw, thank you. :)

Which one? I have several tattoos, haha.

fucking arrows why

[yourtattooisdumb]

Because arrows can only go forward when they are pulled back~ It's very symbolic!

[yourtattooisdumb]

can I just say I am laughing so hard at people insulting you for my tattoo right now. so hard.

Oh my god me too. I was at the gym when I saw those messages and couldn't stop laughing.Can I just say I'd rather have hip tattoos that say hip/hop about a million times more than I'd want to have a shitty infinity sign with bird blobs?!

[yourtattooisdumb]

Dude, I'm kindly asking you to take mine down. I don't think you have a right to make fun of anyone's tattoo. It's their body, they can do what they want with it. Also, everybody has different taste. I'm not making fun of your "hip/hop" tattoo, so please don't make fun of mine. It's the infinity with the birds. I respect your opinion, but it is, however, irrelevant. I'd really appreciate it if you took it down. Thank you:)

No, your tattoo really does suck. And the hip/hop tattoo still isn't mine. Jesus Christ people.And seriously, you have to be more specific. The infinity with the birds? Come onnnn. But i guess i will take yours down when I get to a computer but for now, it stays. Whoops.

[yourtattooisdumb]

You have "hip" & "hop" as a tattoo............ I believe you have less of a right than ANYONE to call someone else's tattoos bad. I'm glad you see how ridiculous yours are, though. Maybe you should get "rock" & "roll" on your ass cheeks to add to the stupidity. Dumb ass.

Lol nice try buddy, but that post was a submission. I definitely do have dumb tattoos but that one isn't mine. Go away.
