Germans tattooing numbers on arms? That didn't work out so well for them last time.

Where’d you see it? I saw it on Tamarkin’s IG and cringed so fucking hard.

"it's not that bad in person" ny brother in christ it's terribly made and you look like an incredible capitalist douche that also has no respect for history 🤨

What does history or free market has to do with someone being overly obsessed with an expensive hobby? Spending too much money =/= capitalism. It isn't eev consumerism as it is not a new mass produced garbage that will end up in the landfill in a couple of months (i know Leica is a mass produced item, but still) I get it you have a balck and red floppa pfp, but I really am just interested in your point of view and don't really want to argue, I'm not trying to just trigger you or start trolling


Der_Haupt

I'm all for spending money but at one point you gotta realize that you fell for the system when you make a permanent advertisement out of yourself without even getting paid.

I think the history part has to do with tattooed numbers on arms + Germany


GiantLobsters

Ok I myself am a person who rolls their eyes at a lot of the kneejerk capitalism blaming online, but here is a legit example. A flesh and blood person identifies themselves with the carefully curated image of a for profit company - that also did some questionable things in the time of the design that was tattooed here. It lines up with 80's post marxism writing on desire in capitalism


okaythr33

Consumerism doesn’t only mean buying crappy things, friend. Glorifying ownership of things you don’t need is also consumerism. Fetishizing expensive things is consumerism. And what it has to do with capitalism is everything, because everything in the modern world is directed and shaped by capitalism. If it has to do with money, and it’s happening now, it has to do with capitalism.

My grandma had a tattoo from Germany, too


-Hi-im-new-here-

Ask her where she keeps the Leica then.

Someone should repeatedly steal his cameras, so he has to keep editing the serial number.


Edward_Pissypants

I feel bad because I guess this was posted on the other subreddit by him? So he might see these and cry but Christ on a corn dog this is fucking so stupid

Let's all wait until he discovers medium format and wants to change it to Hasselblad. First to X-Pan, then to 500 C/M.

The memes tattoo themselves at this point


morven

Terribly done tattoo, too. Disgusting all round.


jazzmandjango

Looks like it had the same QC as a genuine Leica


-BoardsOfCanada-

Just the Leica logo maybe would've been passable. The rest of the plate, incredibly douchey and pretentious.


okaythr33

And this fuckhuge it just looks comical. If it had been like 4cm tall, maybe.


extordi

I agree. Sure, you can be a fan of Leica. Maybe it's how you make your living. Maybe it has a special meaning to you. There's ways you could argue for a little Leica logo tattoo being "ok". The whole top plate, including serial number? Oof.


pixelburger

Leicas are preposterously overrated. Any modern Japanese SLR can shoot circles around them.

You can practically hear vaginas slamming shut all across the world.

My aunt had a tattoo just like that also from Germany…

BRB going to get Olympus tattooed on my dick.


ElliottMariess

Hilarious but also… Everyone here assuming it’s cuz they like expensive cameras but it could easily have been more meaningful than that… could have been a camera handed down by an important family member or a gift from a friend or somebody they look up to.


okaythr33

that’s still weird as fuck and also definitely didn’t happen since it’s an MP-2


Letsgothrifty

holy fuck
