I'm always resistant to throwing trashy around. It just feels really shitty to judge that on one picture. Some tats, it really can be the angle or lighting that makes a difference.
But, sometimes, you run across a pic like this where there's so many problems I just can't think of a better word for the tattoos.
Bad placements, bad techniques, bad designs, bad everything. Like, if you're gonna do face ink, make sure they're well executed.
There is a certain degree of intentionality to some people's choices of bad tattoos, where it's a form of self expression to have badly done or otherwise bad ink. But this doesn't look like that, it just looks like someone thought these were good and doesn't know better.
Yeah, that's true. I tend not to think about that as inherently bad. The same thing on a thigh under shorts might be dubious, but not the same way when it's on the neck, if you get the distinction I'm using
Most people wouldn't do business with that guy. Not the fact that he has face tats, but that he chose those scream to me, that he is very bad at decision making or that he just doesn't give a fuck. Plus a meth pipe? Major red flag.
You all do realize those are just drawn on with a marker right? If those were real, and fresh enough to have the ink smear, they would be way more red and probably raised a bit.
You can literally see the smear lines in the picture (the chin especially). On top of that they're clearly taking a joke picture and she's hiding her laughter. If this dude has these face tattoos and teeth THAT nice he's like a complete anomaly. Everything in this picture says those are marker, but you can believe whatever you want!
Why are the tattoos on the other side of his face in these pictures? (say, the one connected to his eye). Is that something that happens when you take a selfie v normal picture?
I actually suspect that if our selfie camera was not mirrored, that we would instantly notice and be weirded out by it. We're just used to looking at our own face in a mirror, so in that way it looks normal and we don't think about it.
Well yeah. Backwards font and a meth pipe on his neck. I mean I partake in that too but I wouldn't get it tattooed on me. Especially on my neck. There's a huge stigma for using something that is basically a stronger but more neurotoxic ADHD medication. I'm not trying to glorify it, nor do I think everyone should do it, but the stigma is ridiculous. To have it tattooed on your neck is just asking to be discriminated against
I dunno, he's a decent looking guy in terms of facial features. Wouldn't go as far as stunning, but I'm not attracted to men, so my perception is likely off in that regard.

I was trying to figure out WTF is going on here...
The text tattoos, eyebrow, corner of the eye, chest, are all backwards, but Texas is not.
Makes me think he did the text himself whlle looking in a mirror.
People probably tell him "Dude, your tats are backwards!" at which point he looks in a mirror and thinks they look fine.
dicksteele@lemm.ee · 62 pts · 1y
The crack pipe under his chin should give away the reason for any of the other tattoo designs
unaccomplishedbottom@lemm.ee · 40 pts · 1y
It's a meth pipe. Crack pipes are just a tube without the bowl
match@pawb.social · 17 pts · 1y
No, it's a spoon being heated up, so heroin
Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 6 pts · 1y
I thought so at first too, but the longer I look at it the more I think it's a crack pipe. https://www.banyantreatmentcenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/shutterstock_2042174384-1000x480.jpg

Lest we forget to specifically mention out "bad content" when there's a meth pipe on his neck
Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 1y
That looks like a lighter and a spoon.
clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works · 8 pts · 1y
What does that make it, crack or heroin? I don't know much about this topic.

A spoon would make it heroin. You smoke crack out of a pipe just like meth. The tattoo is definitely a meth pipe though.

Probably on meth when he had them done. He just warning people to stay away from him.
devAlot@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y
Is that a meth pipe, or a lighter heating up a spoon? I think we need to track down the original artist here to confirm.
Edit: there's quite an interesting debate in the comments about this already 😅

RizzoTheSmall@lemm.ee · 42 pts · 1y
How can you make yourself more unemployable than having a visible face/neck/head tattoo?
It's a badly drawn crack pipe...
steeznson@lemmy.world · 22 pts · 1y
I shouldn't know this but I think it's a meth pipe.
Meth would also explain the other tattoos.
TurnOnTheSunflower@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 1y
Or a spoon to heat up heroin perhaps?

There's an entire hand covering her face, there's no way to make it "clearer". Might as well let an ai guess what she looks like.
Why not ask them to take another picture? Is this the only one in existence? Did they agree to the wedding invite?

I agree with you, but it is hard to tell because it appears a third grader drew it.

The reddit picture is mirrored, look at the Texas tattoo.

Thanks, no worries. You'd think at 50 I'd know but don't really take many pictures, certainly not selfies.
