Truly terrible amateur tattoo artist, this guy needs to stop (synysterinktattoo.com)
submitted 9 months ago by lpen-z
[–]Bails_au 23 points24 points25 points 9 months ago
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 points31 points 9 months 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 points3 points 9 months ago
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 point2 points 9 months 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.
[–]TheMightyBarabajagal 8 points9 points10 points 9 months ago
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.
[–]VenusBlue 11 points12 points13 points 9 months ago
At least he isn't a bomb disposal technician.
[–]8-bit_d-boy 15 points16 points17 points 9 months ago
I hope he does become one... once.
[–]service_plumber 6 points7 points8 points 9 months ago
Has he never heard of trace paper? Who in thier right mind mind would let him do that to them?!
[–]I_am_Mojojojo 4 points5 points6 points 9 months ago
Who you ask?
His mom.
[–]zpgjne 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago
From his facebook:
I don't want to use a stencil cos my design r one of a kind! IF YOU DONT LIKE THAT don't book me. If you do then you understand orgional art.
[–]SpermWhale 7 points8 points9 points 9 months ago
That's the same thing people said to Van Gogh.
Quick, give this tattoo artist a rope, and a bucket to stand up.
[–]Stuewe 6 points7 points8 points 9 months ago
I'd say someone should break all his fingers to make him stop, but it looks as if someone already did.

if you put something like that on someone in prison sodomy would not be at the top of your list of troubles.

It found it while looking up tattoos on google.... I laughed my ass off, looked at it for a while, cried, and then laughed again.
[–]ambiguouslilly 9 points10 points11 points 9 months ago
hmmm could be fake...
seems to have a lot of sponsored ads, and a lot of internet data privacy disclamers on the last page?
[–]paulfknwalsh 4 points5 points6 points 9 months 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 points4 points 9 months ago
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.
[–]ambiguouslilly 2 points3 points4 points 9 months ago
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 points4 points 9 months 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
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 point2 points 9 months ago
If you are as busy as he is, what reason do you have to believe you aren't good?
[–]Koeniginator 5 points6 points7 points 9 months ago
It's abstact.

That thing has got some serious derp-face going on.
[–]I_am_Mojojojo 10 points11 points12 points 9 months ago
I liked the comment below it that says:
"My wife and unborn child can draw better than that"
[–]TheMightyBarabajagal 3 points4 points5 points 9 months ago
Read that as "my wife and unicorn child". Thought of axe-cop.
[–]flyingcloud 5 points6 points7 points 9 months ago
I had a friend that did tattoos like this. I can assure you, he considered himself a professional. He'd do some ink for you for cheap, ya know, before he gets all rich and famous......
[–]general_no_pants 3 points4 points5 points 9 months ago
I think I found another of his masterworks.
[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 9 months ago
Sweet!
[–]CommodoreFappington 3 points4 points5 points 9 months 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.

My brother gave me a tattoo in his backyard for free and it is 1000x better
[–][deleted] 5 points6 points7 points 9 months ago
I'd dial that 1000x down a bit...
[–]NervousMcStabby 3 points4 points5 points 9 months ago
It has straight lines, I think that qualifies to be at least 800 times better.
[–]HIGHer_ENTucation 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
Did you look at the other stuff. I'm not saying mine is good look at my comment but its a1000x better than any of that Shit
[–]n1nj4_v5_p1r4t3 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
pic for proof
[–]HIGHer_ENTucation 2 points3 points4 points 9 months ago
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.
http://i.imgur.com/5sDfl.jpg
thats not bad at all. its obviously not advanced, but its way more bad ass then sucks balls. that shop should hire your brother
[–][deleted] 13 points14 points15 points 9 months ago
are you high? that is a shitty tattoo
[–]allahuakbar79 3 points4 points5 points 9 months ago
So he'd fit in perfectly.
[–]siriusgrey 4 points5 points6 points 9 months ago
Maybe we should ban heavy metal?
[–]acdcfanbill 4 points5 points6 points 9 months ago
As a purveyor of Heavy Metal I propose we ban this fellow from listening to it until he gives up his tattooist occupation.
[–]discountair 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago
He listens to Avenged Sevenfold so we can't take anything he says seriously anyways.
[–]acdcfanbill 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago
oh that's discouraging :(
[–]detroitdecay 2 points3 points4 points 9 months ago

i got into an arugment with one of his "fans"...."tony mav"
Don't feed the trolls.
[–]xX_Nois 2 points3 points4 points 9 months ago
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.
[–]BrainsAreCool 2 points3 points4 points 9 months ago
I want one of his victims to do an AMA.
[–]NRadd 2 points3 points4 points 9 months ago
It looks like the supposed "artist" has Parkinson's disease or something. That is the shakiest tattoo I've ever seen.
[–]sleezweas[] 2 points3 points4 points 9 months ago
With how bad his tattoo's are, I'm surprised to see a website that doesn't look equally as unpleasant.
[–]thereandwhereagain 2 points3 points4 points 9 months ago
Holy shit... is he scratching them in with a Biro?
[–]Draskiller 2 points3 points4 points 9 months ago
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. *
[–]NoctGent 3 points4 points5 points 9 months ago
Juggalo tattoo artist without a stencil. yikes. I think I judge juggalos harsher than any other group of people... usually warranted though.
[–]jahudah 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
Juggalos aren't people, silly
[–]WingedDefeat 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
Any idiot can trace a line. Obviously this guy is of sub-idiot intelligence.
successful trolls are successful
[–]ncount91 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
I see many cover-up jobs in the near future for these people. Jesus those are hard to look at
[–]eNoqfOu 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
Aaaaaaahahahaha.
[–]Erulastiel 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
Amateur is an understatement with this guy.
[–]Fibreoptix 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
I thought this was a joke, still hopeful it is.
[–]ripkif318 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
https://www.facebook.com/SynysterInk the facebook page loads quicker. the comments on the pictures are probably the funniest thing I've seen all week
[–]I_B_Trolling 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
There are many types of troll, & synyster fits this trolling tattooist like a bubonic whore drawn [on] to someones forehead! He should team up with a laserology center & ink their phone # into his work, as a free bone~us.
[–]ShenaniganCannon 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
The tats that the guy gave HIMSELF in Memento with a ballpoint pen even looked better (yes, I know...it's' a movie, but still)
[–]withbeard 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago
I bet the local professional shops love the amount of cover up work this guy is generating.
[–]SL8Rfan 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago
After 14 pictures I can only conclude that this is the greatest act of trailer park, inbred, juggalo trolling I have ever seen. kudos to you, you no thumbed, blind, epileptic, with a piano wire and dirty motor oil ink.
[–]Nomlin 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago
Best comment there: If my 4 year old drew this, I wouldn't even hang it in the back of the refrigerator.

They have a facebook fan page. The statuses are pure gold.

Anyone who looks at this guys portfolio and says to themselves "I think this guy's work is fantastic let me give him a call" needs to have their state of mind assessed for normalcy.

Id go there if I lived close, a small one for the hell of it. Atleast it will be rare.
[–]easy2kill 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago
who the fuck is doing these tattoos? Michael J. Fox?
[–]p4lm3r 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago
Pretty sure that is my best tattoo ever /Napoleon.

[–]AllDesperadoStation 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago
I almost want to go back to my hometown and get a tattoo from this guy just because I'm so intrigued by him.
[–]ksandifer138 -1 points0 points1 point 9 months ago
I've been getting downvoted to shit where this was first posted in /r/offbeat. Why? For talking shit about this guy and saying he needed to be put in jail. Seriously,there's no way this scratcher is tattooing in a licensed shop. I can smell the staph and MRSA from here.
[–]ggizzo44 -1 points0 points1 point 9 months ago
FUCKING REPOST!
[–]I_am_Mojojojo -14 points-13 points-12 points 9 months ago
Not everybody is good at tattooing. This guy just needs more practice.
[–]lpen-z[S] 16 points17 points18 points 9 months ago
He should be practicing on paper not skin
[–]smeenatchu 2 points3 points4 points 9 months ago
More realistically he should practice on oranges and animal (preferably pig) skin. Also, they now sell fake skin for this very reason.
But seeing as he thinks he's doing just fine, I don't think any of this information will help.
[–]PPSF 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
Wait, I must hear more about this fake skin. Do go on!
[–]smeenatchu 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago
I said fake skin, not fore skin.
Seriously? Okay, here ya go!
[–]PPSF 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago
Ah, you sounded like you had personal experience. I was wondering about how they make it and stuff like that.
Ah no, no actual experience. But I have a few friends that are actual tattoo artists, and have let me practice using their guns on oranges and fake skin. Pretty cool stuff actually! Feels like really gross skin.
[–]GoyoTattoo -2 points-1 points0 points 9 months ago
He should be practicing on the freeway, LOLZ
[–]a-mused 5 points6 points7 points 9 months ago
Not everybody can do X, no matter how much they practice. I think that's what we're looking at here.
[–]I_am_Mojojojo -15 points-14 points-13 points 9 months ago
He's an amateur. We're all comparing him to a professional.
[–]a-mused 8 points9 points10 points 9 months ago
I was comparing him to my 6 yr old.
[–]I_am_Mojojojo -1 points0 points1 point 9 months ago
wait, guys. Maybe this guy has Parkinsons and is trying to fulfill a bucket list entry.
[–]ohhyou 2 points3 points4 points 9 months ago
even though he is an amateur, this work is shocking to be putting on someones body, he should really find other means of practice.
[–]superdarkness 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
He's... charging for his work. He needs to be compared to professionals. Then kicked out of the profession.
[–]I_am_Mojojojo -2 points-1 points0 points 9 months ago
I found the artist
[–]Blastface 2 points3 points4 points 9 months ago
Thats fine but don't do it on peoples skin for permanance.
[–]superdarkness 2 points3 points4 points 9 months ago
No, dude, seriously. He can't draw. It's clear from his work that he doesn't have the basics of drawing down. He should not be allowed anywhere near tattoo guns.
