The tattooist should be ashamed of himself for doing this to people. I feel so sorry for the people left with these abominations.

[–]LanceCoolie 29 points30 points ago

Anyone who gets a tattoo without first perusing some of the artist's prior work (which in this case speaks volumes) is a victim of their own haste.

Good tattoo artists discourage it because you're drunk and it will be permanent...

[–]funkgerm 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You couldn't be further from the truth. Yeah, some people might go and get tattoos on a whim after drinking, but many respectable tattooists won't even go near you if you're fucked up.

[–]pentacleric 0 points1 point ago

You don't have any tattoos do you?

People bleed when they are tattooed. Drinking thins the blood. Being drunk will turn a tattoo session into a blood bath. Any tattoo artist worth a damn won't tattoo anyone who is under the influence of anything.

As a fan of shitty tattoos, I would love to get one of these tragedies done. Maybe one of his "gun"s. (something small, somewhere hidden, naturally, but still.)

The guns were my favorite. Looked like a genuine 2-year-old's drawing. All scribbly and lopsided.

That's the same thing people said to Van Gogh.

[–]paulfknwalsh 4 points5 points ago

nah, not fake, i saw it unfolding on Facebook as the views ramped up, with the artists defending himself the whole time... i think it was Buzzfeed that first bought attention to it (via the FB gallery of pictures): http://www.facebook.com/SynysterInk

oh, and there's one word which explains it: Juggalo

[–]cjf1023 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

its obviously fake, all the negative comments, etc. And nobody who could make a website like that would put these pictures up if he was actually a tattoo artist.

curiouser and curiouser.... a quick "who is" ip lookup comes back as http://privacyprotect.org/

but the site's html code has no google seo keywords

advanced planning at one end, and elementary web setup missing at the other.

[–]Enigma4_20 2 points3 points ago

OR! He is a SHITTY ASS tattoo artist who went to a site like webs.com and bought a domain name through the site so that the URL doesn't contain ".webs".com, hence the unrelated pictures on the side menu, the standard professional layout, and a shit ton of ads

[–]funkgerm 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

He probably slathered the site with ads hoping to make a few bucks because he's obviously not making much as a tattooist.

[–]stahlgrau 0 points1 point ago

Whoa, wait. Is this guy from Cincinnati? I was at a bar last night and there were synyster ink business cards all over the place. One of the pics was where someone had their daughter's face inked on their arm, except she looked like she had down syndrome. I wish I would've taken one of those cards.

It has straight lines, I think that qualifies to be at least 800 times better.

Lol ok its much simpler than any of that work its just the RHCP logo.

Don't get me wrong I know its not great. The reason I was okay with him doing it in a backyard as an amateur is because its a simple image that I will have no trouble getting it cleaned up by a pro.

Why the fuck are people trusting him enough to go? I don't have tattoos. But I have multiple friends who do. And they are sure to check out the artist multiple times before going.

I just think it is smart to check out a guy who uses needles before letting him tattoo you.

With how bad his tattoo's are, I'm surprised to see a website that doesn't look equally as unpleasant.

Holy shit... is he scratching them in with a Biro?

[–]Draskiller 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm almost positive all of them are fake, if you look, it seems like he just took a nice ink pen, drew it on these people and then slapped the spot a few times then added a little bit of blood with some basic photoshop magic. The blood is in all the wrong spots from where it seems he went too "deep", and no blood at all where it should be from how much he seemed to have shredded these peopled skin. Aswell as 3 of the photos are on the same arm of the guy in the white wife beater, while in each picture none of the others are visible in the next photo. If you really look closely, the inflammation aswell is in very odd shapes compared to the tattoos. Now, I may be wrong, the guy in the wife beater and everyone else pictured may be all just complete idiots. But from the way that the majority of his site is filled with ads, the fact that he says he has been booked for monthes but has yet to actually post his name or any actual information, and how quickly this is going viral, it is not out of the question completely to have been done to pull in some extra revenue from all the adverts on there. I am at work right now, but ill be home in a little while and will reproduce something to this effect when I do get home and I will post the results. Like I said, I may be wrong, but I really want to have faith in the fact that considering the rise in acceptability of tattoos, and the amount of people that do tattoos professionally in every area of the U.S. let alone the bay area, which has plenty of shops in it of itself, that noone except 12 year olds would let someone put something this shitty on them, let alone 3 of these horrendous tattoos on one arm. I'll recreate this in about an hour and see if I can duplicate it. *tl;dr : I think its fake, will post a reproduction of it soon. *
