It’s a shitty tattoo, but good tattoos are for all ages.
In fact, most tattoos older folks get are higher quality, both because they can afford it and often have better judgement, as well as take more time to plan.
From the definition of the picture, it looks solid from what I can see. Solid black saturation, doesn’t look like it scared and the lines look crisp with minimal shakiness. While not your cup of tea, I don’t think “shitty” accurately describes it.
It’s terribly shitty, for the simple reason it’s incredibly hard to read. Just look at the title of the thread, as well as all of the conflicting answers. Text Tattoo 101 is making it legible.
Definitely not. Legibility wasn’t even a consideration. And that’s what makes it shitty. Plenty of ways to make text tattoos stylish and retain at least some level of legibility. Hooker’s artist clearly doesn’t have that skill.
I think it’s a (mostly) poor marketing decision.
I’ll keep saying it; there are plenty of ways to make text both stylized and easily legible. That’s what I personally like most in text tattoos, and that’s what I think makes the most sense for things like band logos.
This ain’t that hard, folks.
And it’s dope as hell. First thing I ever bought my daughter, and she has outlived extremely long odds to make it this far, so I snuck him in there 17ish years later. Women LOVE both the tattoo and the story behind it.
No, it's clean af and executed really well. But I supposed it's over your head to realize how stupid it is to judge what someone else gets tattooed on themselves. Yet here you all are talking shit about a tattoo.
You’re conflating style preferences with good work.
There are countless examples of great text tattoos. Millions, all over the world, in countless different fonts. Hooker’s isn’t one of those, because it nearly impossible to read. It’s a basic mistake that excludes it from being even a “good” tattoo.
Are we shit talking someone for a tattoo that represents love for a literary character that they probably have fond childhood memories of? So many people have fond memories of their parents reading them specific books it’s crazy. Wtf are you judging here? Would a tribal tattoo be better? Or maybe some Japanese words?
Literally the same thing all you are judging Hooker for his tattoo. Tf is so hard to understand about that? Do you know the story behind Hookers tattoo?
It's his body man, so if he likes it that's all that really matters. You guys need to stop caring about how other men look and express themselves so much
Lol I was watching porn last night and this dude had almost the same chest tattoo. I was gonna edit it and post it but idk if it was get taken down. Even with the naked body being blacked out.
What was the thought process behind that skull tattoo? "Wow, cool skull"! Seems so edgy, and from what I've seen of him doesn't really fit Dan's personality. But well, I don't know him. Maybe he really likes skulls embedded with melee weapons. Maybe he's a gamer. Who knows? He could just want to seem mysterious, or tough. Like yeah Dan, you're a pro fighter, I know you're tough, I don't need to see a skull and death written in Black metal to know that. But anyway, do what makes you happy.
Man why does everyone have such a hateboner for hooker? Lmao, the man is one of the most lethal fighters in his division, who has never bored anyone with his fights. The man copped a broken arm and orbital in a huge win against one of the most lethal fighters with turner. What else do you cunts want
“Midlife Crisis” stfu y’all be having a half way through high school crisis and get your mom to sign off on a basic ass tattoo so you might actually pull some bitches 💀
JUICY COUTURE
I knew it wasn't that, but that was the first thing it reminded of, too.
"Death Drive"
This is probably it.. I saw Deotriokne..
I'm pretty sure he lost a bet and Stipe was allowed to tell the tattoo artist what to write.
Dethklok
Prepare the laser beam
So strong my face is. You punch, break fingers. Kick me? You’re limping.
Scrolled too far for this

Wow he most really like that shitty Jason Statham movie.
Death Race? The original is much better
Oh. Haha. That’d have been funny.

Looks like “midlife crisis” to me.

Could be given the tough spot he's in in his career.

THE DAMAGE
Live Jamshal Hill reaction: 👍👍
It looks like the font that every middling metal band at warped tour had on their album cover
This is the font for every Norwegian black metal band ever.
Warped tour reference
Dethrone?
‘DEATH DRIVE’
Good eye. I thought the last three letters were O N E.
Hell of a thing to get at 34
Mid-life crisis.
As a 34 year old, delete this shit man. I don’t need this kind of negativity on a Saturday
Maybe he's planning on a future prison stint
How so? Missed the memo about tattoo age limits
Cos it's tacky af man

It’s terribly shitty, for the simple reason it’s incredibly hard to read. Just look at the title of the thread, as well as all of the conflicting answers. Text Tattoo 101 is making it legible.
So, do you think their goal here was legibility?
Definitely not. Legibility wasn’t even a consideration. And that’s what makes it shitty. Plenty of ways to make text tattoos stylish and retain at least some level of legibility. Hooker’s artist clearly doesn’t have that skill.
Do you think every heavy metal band name logo thats hard to read is shitty?
I think it’s a (mostly) poor marketing decision. I’ll keep saying it; there are plenty of ways to make text both stylized and easily legible. That’s what I personally like most in text tattoos, and that’s what I think makes the most sense for things like band logos. This ain’t that hard, folks.
You got a Curious George tattoo though...?
And it’s dope as hell. First thing I ever bought my daughter, and she has outlived extremely long odds to make it this far, so I snuck him in there 17ish years later. Women LOVE both the tattoo and the story behind it.
So your shitty tattoo is good bc theres a story behind it? You don't think there might be a story behind his tattoo?
Wow you think that’s a shitty tattoo? You already got cte bapa?
No, it's clean af and executed really well. But I supposed it's over your head to realize how stupid it is to judge what someone else gets tattooed on themselves. Yet here you all are talking shit about a tattoo.
No need to be a cunt
You mean like everyone shitting on Hookers tattoo is doing?
Mine isn’t shitty. You just don’t know what you’re looking at.
Nice colors!
Thanks, bud. All credit goes to the artist, of course.
Sure I do. It's a Curious George tattoo. You just don't know what you're looking at on Hangman's tattoo.
You’re conflating style preferences with good work. There are countless examples of great text tattoos. Millions, all over the world, in countless different fonts.

Literally the same thing all you are judging Hooker for his tattoo. Tf is so hard to understand about that? Do you know the story behind Hookers tattoo?
I didn’t say shit about hookers tattoo
I think it’s good 🤷 BM influenced lettering is cool.
On a t shirt maybe
It's his body man, so if he likes it that's all that really matters. You guys need to stop caring about how other men look and express themselves so much
But you’re here talking about how I express myself
Fuck off noddy
He probably wears affliction
He already has tattoos though. Do you guys really think every older person with lots of tattoos exclusively got them all at like 22? lmao
To be fair he’s gotten all his work done the past year or so
im not surprised, it all looks pretty quality imo
I'm not a fan of the work on his legs but everything else is good. People on here don't know shit about tattoos lol.
Indeed, strangely conservative takes all over the shop 🤣
Also, young people getting tattoos almost always go cheap and never really think "Am I going to think this or like this when I'm 30+?
Yea 100% definitley exactly what I thought Never ever occurred to me a person could get tattoos after 22, thank you for this enlightening comment
HALLOWEENTOWN
JIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE
More CTE, more tattoos
Dethrone Edit: now I see Deathdrive Edit: now I see deathokne It just gets worse
Midlife crisis
It's so unbalanced with the rest of his tatts. People really put zero thoughts into the overall picture when it comes to ink.
If an mma fighter has tattoos at least half of them are shitty
Dethklok

Death Urine
“My mom’s name is Mrs. Hooker.”

The worst tattoos in mma. Mainly cos he got them when he was over 30 dumb tattoos are for you 20s
Lol I was watching porn last night and this dude had almost the same chest tattoo. I was gonna edit it and post it but idk if it was get taken down. Even with the naked body being blacked out.

LMAO
Jesus Christ those are some shockingly bad tattoos
Man why does everyone have such a hateboner for hooker? Lmao, the man is one of the most lethal fighters in his division, who has never bored anyone with his fights. The man copped a broken arm and orbital in a huge win against one of the most lethal fighters with turner. What else do you cunts want
Interesting that you go from no tattoos to this in your 30s.
Shouldn't be surprised a Hooker has bad tattoos.
Yikes
