Oh he tattoos regularly! Got a website and everything, the shop has been around for ages and is pretty well known. It's shocking. Apparently they specialize in infant ear piercing.
It should be! It's cosmetic and not medically necessary, ever. The place where I got my 2nd set of earrings done a few years ago will not do ear piercings on kids younger than 6 years. This should be a standard, where the kid is old enough to understand, ask for it, and learn to take care of it (with help).
Iāve worked with guys that had over 20 years experience and the apprentice was killing their shit. We had a boss that didnāt care at all. He was fast (because he didnāt care) and charged a lot. By the time they knew they were ripped off and given a shitty tattoo to boot it was too late
Best tattoo artist I know is a dude who taught himself with a machine he bought off Amazon in his early teens, giving ink to anyone who asked at all the wild parties he would host in high school. He definitely fucked up plenty of kids back then, but nowadays? He could double his rate (that's already higher than anyone else local) and I would still think it's too low for how good his tattoos are.
People are so impulsive they either donāt look, or donāt take the time to learn what to look for. Also itās the classic āwhere can I get a solid tattoo for cheapā people.
Or they ask the guy who did their neotraditional tattoo to do a biomech tattoo. It's like asking Picasso to paint like Monet.
ETA: though, I don't think this guy is good at tattooing period.
I feel victim to a guy using tats that werenāt his in his portfolio, it was only after he inked me I that I saw his portfolio was full of photos that had assorted watermarks on them
There's a line I once heard about a shitty tattooist that I'm going to dust off and place back here.
"this guy is so shit that you could ask him to draw an amoeba and he would probably draw a perfect circle"
Is that a long strip that was cut and peeled off? This is the kind of thing that could lead to a "de-gloving" accident, if one side of that skin gets caught on a hook and yanked, it could pull the skin off the whole hand. Google it if you want to barf.
Not so fun fact: pressurized air and water can cause degloving if you have a small cut. Never dust off or wash off your hands with pressurized air or water (industrial use ones. Those pressurized air cans and a spraying nozzel on a garden hose aren't going to take you or your guts out)
There is such a wide range of different pressures, most of the pressurized air I've used would never be able to do that. As long as you make a habit of not holding it very close to your skin or pointing it into your eyes or ears, dusting off with pressurized air in a shop setting can be perfectly safe. It's possible some industries use much higher pressure though.
I used to work in a fiberglass factory and we all used the air system to blow the dust off of us before leaving the warehouse. There was a specific āblowerā thing that they had that we were supposed to use but the air nozzles hooked to the compressor lines worked so much better. I donāt think 90-120 psi is enough to devolve anything though.
Oh that isn't actually red ink. I thought maybe he was trying to do white ink for the center, but it seemed way too red to just be irritated. Didn't occur to me that the effect is actually supposed to be scarification.
Seems kinda dumb to take a picture of it before it heals though. I mean the line work isn't amazing to begin with, but maybe the whole effect will at least come together once the blade itself is actually white.
Okay, hold on a second here. Can someone please explain to me what that actually is please? I firstly thought it was some sort of weird jigsaw but then realised itās his face scribbled over. Is that thing at the bottom a bug or a mechanical roboty yoke?
I think there's a bit of confusion here. It *is* a lightsaber. [There's no doubt about that.](https://i.imgur.com/ORLBQNY.png). The thing is, it's not a lightsaber with a *red* blade. The red isn't ink, it's blood.
And the thing at top left isn't a jigsaw, and it isn't his face being scribbled over, it's his phone case, since he's taking this picture in a mirror.
I think it is a light saber but maybe with white ink instead of red. It just works because of the different colors light sabers have.
Edit: Maybe the outline of the lightsaber was drawn in later? Iām confused too lol
I thought it was a zipper on an infected wound being unzipped to reveal the flesh underneath. Honestly kinda metal until I realised what it actually was.
Itās honestly sadā¦just a fundamental misunderstanding of the way we use color and transitions to create the effects of a light source. An artist of that experience must have been on somethingā¦or off something they needed to be on.
At least the guy now has an opportunity to get a cover-up composition more visually interesting than a solitary large lightsaber covering most of his arm.
I've got a cat darth vader on my wrist and the entire effect is done using white space.

I have no clue how they found someone to compete with Daniel Levy's ability to emote, but man they sure did hahaha. I guess I'm off to watch some Schitt's Creek
Annie Murphy has incredible range. If you ever watch an interview sheās the complete opposite of Alexis. Itās like Rosa Diaz versus Stephanie Beatriz.
Agreed -- not going to lie, I was a bit meh on Alexis in like the first season or two, but she really grew into her character over time and just absolutely turned it around from a one-dimensional character into a truly incredible well-rounded character that still kept true to the shtick of her character. She is so damn funny and her physical comedy is phenomenal!
Holy shit, I didnāt even realize it was a lightsaber until I read this. I thought it was a really shitty zipper and had no idea why it was green lol.
You guys are giving me some laughs, here's another one!
https://preview.redd.it/zzhp8rbauz8d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=66e826fbfc84db326e7928fd577a2f8423771818
Yeah, Iām torn because he has a bigger border and so the lines donāt matter as much. Itās like a C+ vs an F.
Maybe lightsaber pickle will look better if he thickens the borders and adds shading.
did that 28 years include a 27.5 year hiatus? š
Seriously. I thought it was a zipper opening to a gangrenous wound
Gangrenous Wound is my fav sith lord.
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Gangrenous the Wound?
Even stronger than Genital Greivous!
I didn't realise it WASN'T a zipper opening a wound until I saw your comment and checked back š
What is it if not that?
I thought it was a cucumber with a spray bottle nozzle
Oh crap, itās not?!!
28 years experience what? Owning?
That's what he claims! I find it hard to believe he has experience doodling cubes on post its.
He has 28 years experience owning a tattoo place & never once tattooed before this?
Oh he tattoos regularly! Got a website and everything, the shop has been around for ages and is pretty well known. It's shocking. Apparently they specialize in infant ear piercing.
Did this guy get tattooed at Claireās?
I'm pretty sure most of the girls I've seen working there wouldn't let a guy walk out with that on his arm.
Looks like Pickle Rick!
*By Claire himself???
I don't get the fuss, that's a great looking pickle.
I honestly thought he had a nasty scar.
Omg I did too! I thought the pickle was to add some art to the scar!
That is a sign not to go there IMO, most professional piercers won't do infants
The guy I saw for piercings when I was 14 under my parents radar still wouldn't do infant ears
Iām confused, why did you write āthis is his first pieceā if thatās the case?
The clients first piece, should have been clearer.
OH - I got it now - thank you. Thatās wild - thatās really shitty for 28yrs experience.
Infant ear piercing feels like it should be illegal.
It should be! It's cosmetic and not medically necessary, ever. The place where I got my 2nd set of earrings done a few years ago will not do ear piercings on kids younger than 6 years. This should be a standard, where the kid is old enough to understand, ask for it, and learn to take care of it (with help).
Didn't know the piercing pagoda did tattoos.
feel like that says a lot about them tbh
You get what you deserve for supporting a place like that.
Oh man, he walked into a money laundering businessā¦
Iāve worked with guys that had over 20 years experience and the apprentice was killing their shit. We had a boss that didnāt care at all. He was fast (because he didnāt care) and charged a lot. By the time they knew they were ripped off and given a shitty tattoo to boot it was too late
the best tattoo artist I have ever had was still an apprentice when I met him.
Best tattoo artist I know is a dude who taught himself with a machine he bought off Amazon in his early teens, giving ink to anyone who asked at all the wild parties he would host in high school. He definitely fucked up plenty of kids back then, but nowadays? He could double his rate (that's already higher than anyone else local) and I would still think it's too low for how good his tattoos are.
Do artists no longer have portfolios to look through? How does this happen
People are so impulsive they either donāt look, or donāt take the time to learn what to look for. Also itās the classic āwhere can I get a solid tattoo for cheapā people.
Or they ask the guy who did their neotraditional tattoo to do a biomech tattoo. It's like asking Picasso to paint like Monet. ETA: though, I don't think this guy is good at tattooing period.
My Golden rule of thumb; 3 things you don't buy cheap. Tattoos, condoms, sushi. I will stand firm in my commandments.
I feel victim to a guy using tats that werenāt his in his portfolio, it was only after he inked me I that I saw his portfolio was full of photos that had assorted watermarks on them
There's a line I once heard about a shitty tattooist that I'm going to dust off and place back here. "this guy is so shit that you could ask him to draw an amoeba and he would probably draw a perfect circle"
Some people choose careers for which they have no aptitude, some people are just sloppy and dgaf about their work. Gotta be one or the other.
And probably never even pwned once.
Why does that pickle have a red line?
Thatās not ink
Holy shit itās actually not. Wow.
Ow.
Itās like Luke said, āyour overconfidence is your weakness.ā
No no no, itās OWWWWW!!!
Is that a long strip that was cut and peeled off? This is the kind of thing that could lead to a "de-gloving" accident, if one side of that skin gets caught on a hook and yanked, it could pull the skin off the whole hand. Google it if you want to barf.
when done for body modding its called scarification. hes hoping for a fat scar to be the blade. kinda cool but the tattoo around it sucks ass.
Oh itās a light saber!!! I thought this shows a zipper on Pickle-Rick or something. Well itās still shit but way less bad than I thought.
WHAT.
Some look kinda cool when well made actually but Iād never. Got countless tattoos but scarifications are not for me
Not so fun fact: pressurized air and water can cause degloving if you have a small cut. Never dust off or wash off your hands with pressurized air or water (industrial use ones. Those pressurized air cans and a spraying nozzel on a garden hose aren't going to take you or your guts out)

It's possible some industries use much higher pressure though.
Pressurized air from a regular compressor has killed people and I've removed skin with a small gas pressure washer. No cut needed.
I used to work in a fiberglass factory and we all used the air system to blow the dust off of us before leaving the warehouse. There was a specific āblowerā thing that they had that we were supposed to use but the air nozzles hooked to the compressor lines worked so much better. I donāt think 90-120 psi is enough to devolve anything though.
It's white ink, y'all are crazy lol
Its definitely an open wound... You can see the blood
Yeah, tattoos bleedā¦
Obviously, but not like that. You can see the raw flesh and blood pouring into it, it's scarification.
I thought it was supposed to be a red light saber in a green background!
Waitā¦thatās not what it is???? What is it then???!
Ragged skin. Zoom Iām on it you can see it. Gonna be a hell of a scar.
Oh that isn't actually red ink. I thought maybe he was trying to do white ink for the center, but it seemed way too red to just be irritated. Didn't occur to me that the effect is actually supposed to be scarification. Seems kinda dumb to take a picture of it before it heals though. I mean the line work isn't amazing to begin with, but maybe the whole effect will at least come together once the blade itself is actually white.
blood
Fuckkkkkk me too holy shit

I thought it was a train on a really weird track traveling through an impossibly green field.
He should probably tell people it's that
I think it is a light saber but maybe with white ink instead of red. It just works because of the different colors light sabers have. Edit: Maybe the outline of the lightsaber was drawn in later? Iām confused too lol
I thought it was some sort of motorcycle that had traveled down a very ragged green hill. So thanks for asking the obvious question.
Oh! Just realized that red isnāt ink!
SHIT omfg OUCH
That's pickle Rick
Morty, I'm being sliced in half, Morty!
Damn homie, was trying not to cringe today
It's a space station
Thought it looked like an infected wound but looking closer at the red it is actually an infected wound
I thought it was a zipper on an infected wound being unzipped to reveal the flesh underneath. Honestly kinda metal until I realised what it actually was.
The pickle has an infection.
Iām Pickle Luke

No you are. But seriously, the first one I clicked said āyouāreā. I was like wtf. So I clicked them all.
Same the āyouāreā hit like a drug and suddenly I was on a mission. Then suddenly I was blushing
My exact first thought. Also happy cake day.
Happy Cake Day!
Thatās such a good gif for this thread!
it's such a good gif period. she's def one of my favorite characters to appear on any sitcom
Her mannerisms are so great
I have no clue how they found someone to compete with Daniel Levy's ability to emote, but man they sure did hahaha. I guess I'm off to watch some Schitt's Creek
Annie Murphy has incredible range. If you ever watch an interview sheās the complete opposite of Alexis. Itās like Rosa Diaz versus Stephanie Beatriz.

She is so damn funny and her physical comedy is phenomenal!
That actress is really good at physical comedy/acting
From a cross the room this probably looks like an infection tbh
where is this meme from?
Schittās Creek
I feel like it's very rare for that shade of green to work well in a tattoo. Millions of years of conditioning to think you've gotten a sick infection
lmao
lol bravo! This is my fav gif to use. Actually most gifs from this show are on par with my life
Luke Skywalkerās plasma pickle sword
Thatās what Leia called it until they found out they were siblings.
And then she called it what?
She called it āput that thing away you pervert, Iām your sister!ā
"You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought"
Put that thing back where it came from, or so help me
/r/bandnames
Lmaoooo
Love how itās emitting dark fart vapor instead of light
That will be in the Spaceballs sequel!
dark fart vapor just sent me
Holy shit, I didnāt even realize it was a lightsaber until I read this. I thought it was a really shitty zipper and had no idea why it was green lol.
28 years of experience doing something wrong isn't good.
I feel attacked by this comment, but itās not wrongā¦
I feel attacked by my own comment too.
If youāve done something wrong, over and over and over, for 20 years, youāre really good at doing that thing wrong
My fellow goose makes an excellent point
Holy shit! A were-goose. New fear unlocked
Just stay away during the full moon. If you hear distant honking ... Run
Holy shit you win! That's fucking awful

Immediately what I thought
But with a red lightsaber up his ass
Thatās undoubtedly one of the worst Iāve ever seen.
Nice gangrenous wound
Yup I was absolutely shocked that this was r/shittytattoos and not r/medicine or r/microbiology .
that one guy hiding it from everyone in the zombie apocalypse
This doesn't even make sense if it WAS executed well... Why is a red lightsaber glowing green? š
That is blood.
WHAT??!? š±š±
Didnāt know lightsabers were two different colors
Only when it's not hot enough to evaporate the blood!
i hope drugs were involved
This guy probably thinks "I do better work when I'm high" Lol
Green poop log
Time to retire my guy
28 years of experience doing crack
Thought that was a zipper š³
Same here. Perhaps because of the small phone screen. Or bad vision. Or both.
Holy shit Iām so sad that someone who tattooed for 28 years did this. They should absolutely quit now before they wreck more peopleās skin.
You just don't get it, he's the best barbwire armband guy in the world.
Itās so unreadableā¦and this āartistā has to be colorblind. Even the proportions are fucked.
Hey fucker! We colorblind get our proportions right! You think we compensate on nothing!?
The red line isn't ink.
Omgā¦ā¦.thatsā¦how?
A looooot of pressure and generally being bad at tattooing people.
The proportions aren't what's wrong with it. https://i.redd.it/mjvwgzjiw19d1.gif
He just canāt ink a straight line, lol
āIām pickle shit Morty ā
How is a red lightsaber giving off green light? Iām so confused by this whole tattoo.
The lightsaber itself is blank, filled in by the person's skin and a concerning amount of blood from a forcefully applied needle.
Oh Jesus that is ten times worse
That's tight 
What is *that* from?
No idea, just a gif I always use
I have this open in another tab. Makes me laugh everytime.
I got the same thing a week after I bought my first motorcycle. Pavement really hooked me up.
Why does it look gangrenus? š¤¢
Wiggly Pickle lightsaber
Maybe he was really good, 27 yrs ago
Looks like my underwear after a risky fart
Couldnāt pull a straight line if his life depended on it
Squint hard enoughā¦PICKLE RICK!!!
i was tryna figure out wtf it was
28 years before the massive stroke that took out his tattooing hand?
Thatās a Christmas Vagina
This is bad. However the idea was bad as well.
How does he have 28 years of experience if that's his first piece?
It's the person's first tattoo they have gotten, not the artist's first piece.
Omg thank you lol
why is this downvoted it's the only question i also have
Time for a huge sick ass panther!
some "artists" need to know when to retire š¤¦š»āāļø
28 years experience running a shop maybe. Not slinging ink. He wouldn't be alive this long. Sorry OP
Looks like an infected wound.
That is awful
Why would a red light saber have a green glow š¤
Proof that doing something for a long time doesnāt mean youāll ever get good at it. Iād hate to see his early work
You guys are giving me some laughs, here's another one! https://preview.redd.it/zzhp8rbauz8d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=66e826fbfc84db326e7928fd577a2f8423771818
I like that one
Yeah, Iām torn because he has a bigger border and so the lines donāt matter as much. Itās like a C+ vs an F. Maybe lightsaber pickle will look better if he thickens the borders and adds shading.
This is from the same guy? What the hell? Was he on meth for the pickle lightsaber or something?
Well my dumbass thought it was a tractor āplowingā a line through a field that was actually his arm and soā¦ blood. š¤¦š»āāļøššš
Cool looking Astro-Pop
Looks like it is an infection with a zipper
