Getting Indelible Ink Permanently Applied to the Dermis for Reasons Aesthetic

[noyen]

[teh b0lly!!1]

Been looking at a lot of examples of those old-timey suns + moons with faces to figure out what I want mine to look like.

[cork_soaker]

your body is a temple

dont ever do it

tattoos are for fools who attempt to capture the divine like a fireflies in a jar -- know what happens to them? they die

for what it's worth i like #13

I also have a thing for those borderless framed tattoos (I don't know what the name for this is, if there is one) that make use of negative space within the tattoo spilling outside the frame.

Link to some examples, because I'm too lazy to resize all these pictures to make sure I don't stretch the thread horizontally. I already spent 5505232 hours in MS Paint with those last examples.

Yeah, I'm not sure if I should go with the Mellon Collie glyphs, or if I should choose another rendering of the moon/sun things.

On the one hand, I can imagine the MCIS ones being cute little pieces. Especially for first tattoos. Something small.

On the other hand, some of the others have nice shading, with the hatching/stippling and all.

Wait, that's it... one version on the one hand, and another on the other hand.

Actually jk, I want a sun on one arm and a moon on the other... not both on each.

Wait, what's the thing being allegorized as the fireflies here? Are my tattoos going to die? Am I going to die? No wait... it's the jar that's gonna die, right?

Also, by #13, do you mean the yellow patch? I could use a yellow patch.

Haha, fool! You'll have to try every area code in the world! You'll nev—hold on, gotta take this call.

That's weird, it was some guy saying something about a tutu? Must have had the wrong number. I haven't worn that tutu in years.

[cork_soaker]

dk u just got sp gen chat boarded sooooo hard

[ohnoitsbonnie]

Dude just get the whole grid put on your back. Problem solved

[vixnix]

My brother's ex-wife had a lot of tattoos and plans to get more. She kind of got addicted. Luckily she is a #bodypositive #fatshion #effyourbeautystandards BBW so she has plenty of skin on which she can get more pictures.

Her first tattoo venture was a series of bats, of increasing size, up the side of one of her calves. A series of battoos, if you will

[ohnoitsbonnie]

Hahaha

[ohnoitsbonnie]

BAT TAT TAT. KA BOOM BOOM

[slunken]

I guess there's some emo pop punk band or something that uses the hourglass with bat wings MCIS glyph as their logo. I dated a girl who had a tattoo of it and used to tease her about being a closeted SP FAN.

This concludes my story about tattoos.

They barely look like dogs at all. They look like toads that have been coated in glue and then rolled in old hair across the barbershop floor.

They always look wet, even when they are dry.

Their squashed faces make them look like a normal dog embryo got squished up on the side of the test tube. Or somebody smacked them with a canoe paddle. Their square, boxy bodies make them look as though they were rendered in PlayStation 1 graphics.

They appear as though somebody skinned a healthy dog and did their best to wrap the pelt around R2-D2 and pass it off as a living being.

They always look as though they are melting.

They are inbred as fuck. They are genetic abominations. Humanity's very own Frankenstein's Monster.

If there is truly a god, mankind will surely be punished for making this obscene mockery of his creation.

I suppose it's not truly the pugs that I detest. They never chose to live. They are victims of existence.

It must be torture to be born a pug. We've selected for completely disadvantageous and maladaptive traits in them. They can barely breathe properly, and are always choking on their own epiglottis. Always having to make that revolting snorting sound. Their lack of ability to receive sufficient oxygen makes their gums all dark and blue.

What kind of proper organism needs another organism to clean its wrinkles in order to prevent face infections? The short snouts we've designed pugs with fail to protect their eyes from direct contact with the environment as they sniff things, leading to dry eyes, scratched corneas, cataracts, blindness, etc.

Speaking of their eyes... their bulging, buggy, frog-like eyes... pugs are also prone to exophthalmus. They can hardly keep their eyeballs in their skulls.

Their builds make it hard for them to carry their own weight. Their tongues are often too big to comfortably fit into their mouths, causing them to constantly drool.

I feel as though, as revenge, some vastly more intelligent alien species will come to Earth, and decide that humans would be cuter if our heads were to large for our spines to support, and we lacked toe nails. The human condition will thenceforth be characterized by even more suffering than it already is.

You're a monster

I've always kinda wondered why so many fourth-wave emo/screamo/metalcore bands cite SP as an influence. This phenomenon has produced so many awful renditions of "Zero."

I think maybe they took the ironic gritty-glam, Black Ziggy Stardust image of the MCIS era, and nothing else. The music itself consists of some residue of earlier emo, mixed with something that more closely resembles Mötley Crüe than either SP, or prior emo bands. It's that kind of boy-band-for-kids-too-cool-to-like-boy-bands marketing thing.

Upper inner arm, kind of the soft part of the bicep.

[Cool As Ice Cream]

you're a bicep

[slunken]

Does that mean I'm the part that everyone fetishizes?

Sure. I'll post my tattoo for you, and a patch of unmodified flesh for corky.

I realize that you're teasing. I, too, am engaging in friendly banter.

Tease away!
