Face. It speaks before you do, saying the same thing regardless of venue.

I saw some YouTuber tattoo artist say that people that have face tattoos either 1) Do not give a fuck or 2) Know themselves extremely well.

Now I'm wondering what the market rate is for face tattoo sponsorships. If a Corona Extra tattoo means I don't have to go to the office anymore then contract negotiations may be in order...

I know a guy who has Elmer Fudd next to his asshole with a speech bubble which reads "Come on out you wascally wabbit!"

[โ€“] loffiz@feddit.nl 4 points 2 years ago

Haha that's great! Had to google elmer fudd but I got it ๐Ÿ˜„

My best friend's birth mother (he was adopted) has a tattoo of a butterfly on her butt which anyone only knows about because she wears her pants low enough you can recognize antennas.

I knew a guy who we all called "Punkin" because he was the singer in a punk band and had a tattoo of a pumpkin on his butt. He showed literally everyone that tattoo. When I was introduced to him, he said, "you want to know why they call me that?" And then immediately pulled down his pants to show me his butt tattoo. I then watched him do it 3 more times as he met new people.

Gotta love the pun.

Tip of the nose, super sensitive so will hurt like hell, weird shaped so hard to do anything good, and it's right in the centre of your face so it's a jobstopper.

[โ€“] loffiz@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago

Hmmm wondering what would be an "adequate" motive there

Inner bottom lip. Extremely painful, never turns out well, and dosn't last very long

[โ€“] WhatASave@aussie.zone 1 points 2 years ago

I'm guessing you were a young adult or older teenager during the scene days.

[โ€“] thirstyhyena@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

I've seen a pic of some guy with a lady tattooed on his chest and belly with his belly button operating as a vagina, pretty fucking grim tbh

I watched a video from Gibi ASMR, who's getting tats all over her legs. For the one behind her knee, she spent time after with her leg in a splint, 'cos she was worried that bending her leg would affect the tattoo whilst it was healing.

[โ€“] loffiz@feddit.nl 4 points 2 years ago

That's interesting! Easy to miss out on the practical aspects.

I would say your ballsac. Just the most tender vulnerable area.

[โ€“] loffiz@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago

I guess you would wax that guy as well? Or laser it?

[โ€“] alphapuggle@programming.dev 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Saw a TikTok where a guy got Waldo tatted on his taint

[โ€“] WhatASave@aussie.zone 9 points 2 years ago

Okay that's hilarious though.

[โ€“] Master@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Right in the middle of the act... THERE HE IS!

Kinda cool though, but yeah

Saw a fly on a glans penis before.

My doggo has tattoos - one in each ear. (She a retired racing greyhound.)

[โ€“] CeruleanRuin@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago

Cool. Cool cool cool.

[โ€“] loffiz@feddit.nl 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That is indeed awful, never heard of anyone tattooing animals!

I found an article about artists practicing on pigs.

On your toddler.

Because, say, you knew the other parent was about to get full custody.

Or just because you're really into Louis Vuitton.

[โ€“] loffiz@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago

There's room for creativity at least "HE IS MINE!! / MOM" "CALL 911 IF YOU SEE THIS CHILD"

also perhaps, a bit, depressing

[โ€“] Pringles@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Wait, people do that?
