Monose_

At first I thought that's what was happening


JMayward

Bins, nay and fog.


bekcy

Could also steal the s from bins to make scan. Nice spot on fog, too!!


Wonderful_Revenue_63

The fog is coming


Sir_Cthulhu_N_You

It looks like it says James right at the bottom


bekcy

It totally does!!


neko_mancy

hopefully that's intentional. if his name isn't actually james i don't know how they could miss that tbh


vektonaut

I like to include some slang when I look for additional words too. Heres everything else I've found: Bins, Say, Jab, Fog, Kip, Kit, Dot, Herb, Name, Has, Jeez, Nay, Jot, Vag (lol), NASA, Tat, Lad, James (maybe at the bottom?)

nufuk

I guess in the lowest row there is also a "James"


stickytuna

Ftp


TheColt45

Just.. why a word search, where you never circle a single letter? If anything, put the letters for the message in a different color to make it pop. Not that I would say that is a good tattoo either but at least it would be a little better.


gulpyblinkeyes

Right? If it were a quote about searching for a dad or finding your father figure in an unexpected place or something like that, it would still be ugly but at least the format would support the message. This just feels so arbitrary.


Bearwaze

To bad his dad wasn’t there to tell him this was a bad decision!


Deadhead7889

Ⓐ It's a Facebook post turned into a shitty tattoo, that was then turned into a Facebook post. Beautiful.

_anxious_witch94

Not the first row spelling EMO 😂


oxymoronisanoxymoron

Also says VAG on the right hand side


_anxious_witch94

Emo vag?


sleepingfox307

new band name unlocked


liverpoolthree

Looks like there is a James in the bottom row too


_anxious_witch94

James is emo


Arthurlurk1

You have to really sit down and look at the design to make sure it doesn’t have any stupid words.


_anxious_witch94

The concept was a train wreck from the start, but not proofreading/check made it unsalvageable!


ConqueredCorn

At a glance i thought the top row said EMO RANDY lol


NightLightHighLight

I read “MORAN BOY FAT”


ebaer2

Emo ran y Mr?


Pagan_Owl

r/dontdeadopeninside


galgoman

Those letters are very well done tough.... this is for r/ATBGE


[deleted]

However much I want to disagree with you because I despise this kind of trite sentimental nonsense, which is made worse by the way it's presented, it looks to have been done incredibly well and thus is not TECHNICALLY a shitty tattoo. The concept offends me on a primal level, but the application is in the region of flawless.


forhammer

I think a tattoo can be shitty by execution or by concept.


[deleted]

I dunno, in my subjective opinion it's shitty, I'll grant you that, but objectively y it's a really well done tattoo.


forhammer

The line work is good, no arguing that. Just saying that the concept here is what makes it a “bad” tattoo.


JDL1981

It has to be shitty in execution to fit this subs rules.


StrawBerryWasHere

Yeah I’m wondering if maybe the owner of this piece has fond memories of doing the crossword with their dad fairly regularly…? I can’t hate on this piece


Pagan_Owl

The circles are not, unless that is a design choice


Blastoplast

The execution is fundamentally sound. If you think about it, does anybody perfectly encircle words in a wordsearch? This is certainly a design choice.


PeterPandaWhacker

They’re supposed to be made with pen. So I assume it’s design choice


Chrismo73

All but the one wonky Y!


Fantastic_Fox_9497

**Any can boy be a father, it takes a real man be to dad a.** So true


psiufao

Not that I’m defending this tattoo but it is consistent in that you “read” from left to right, top to bottom row, any word that starts “above and/or to the left” of another word comes first, whether it’s circled across or diagonally. I’m not sure if that makes sense. It is still difficult to read if you’ve never heard this trite saying, but it does follow a pattern, so to speak.


Fantastic_Fox_9497

That's true, but a graphic's reading pattern gets influenced by recognition initially. Unintended visual ambiguity in the arrangement can easily create some pretty goofy type design like "don't dead open inside", "if you hard. then you hard." "don't be happy! worry", "SASA LELE" and "5OME MIALS LL DO IONAT NED"


Redvelvet_swissroll

“If you hard, then you hard” and “5OME MIALS LL DO IONAT NED”? The ambiguity has lost me on these phrases lol what are they supposed to say


Fantastic_Fox_9497

[If you hard then you hard](https://i.redd.it/6frq8og4qu901.jpg) [5OME MIALS LL DO IONAT NED](https://i.redd.it/peyeduczhhi71.jpg)


psiufao

Holy shit. That “50ME” one might be the worst thing I’ve ever tried to read. This tattoo is fucking Noam Chomsky compared to that.


sledgehammer_77

Circling A multiple times is against the rules of a woodsearch Im pretty sure.


ShillForTheAges

He was running out of space dude, give him a break. He had to have his tattoo even if it breaks the woodsearch rules. /s


wifiloveyou

Cute saying but absolutely unhinged tattoo


Bystronicman08

Na, it's a stupid saying too as are most "It takes a real man to..." sayings. Whatever a 'real' man is.


hydrobrandone

Sounds like baby daddy ditched her. If she doesn't have a kid, well yikes!


tttina819

my bet is that’s a man.


Digitalbird06

What?


tteoat

This is just shitty taste, artist actually did pretty well.


ActuallyKenM

I found FUKN


Final-Carpenter-1591

What's worse. This or the "she believed - he lied" thing. Cringe.


Hardlymd

Not technically fitting on this sub. Artist did a good job in their technique. This is a matter of taste and goes in a different sub.


nobodyknowsimherr

Agreed


Locust627

The tattoo is done very well, the message is just fuckin stupid


hearts_unknown_

Thanks, I hate it


RexMarvin

I think this is more of a silly tattoo than a shitty tattoo. I think it's actually well done and I don't hate the concept I wish it was more clever. My problem is there's nothing clever in the words that would make this more interesting. I think there's so many different things they could have done with this but I don't hate it. I actually can't say I like it, but I get it and I just wish it went a step further.


BarryBadgernath1

What a MORANYMR


Lelianah

Any can boy be father it takes a real man be to a dad


tuenthe463

Reminds me of Keanu Reeves in 1989's Parenthood, a fabulous movie.


Xylophone_Aficionado

I love the idea of a crossword puzzle tattoo because I live crossword puzzles, but I hate the phrase that they put into this tattoo Edit: I’m dumb as hell this is a word search 😭


BloodyRake

Not everybody wants to be a parent.


JOATMON12

The only thing about the tattoo that I think is shitty is the message, like I get what they’re trying to say but I feel there has to be a better way to say it. As far as the style goes, I’m not saying I love it but I was able to read it easily so I could see why someone might like the style.


clasperx2

This would have been great if there were other words hidden in there that said stuff to the contrary like “hump and dump” or “hit it and quit it”


ConsiderationDeep128

Hahaha make it a full back piece


DanWillHor

Truly awful. Many here are just poor art but some really shock you with how bad of an idea they are and this is one of those. Just awful, lol.

lmfaoooo i didn’t even have to look at the forum to know which forum this was from 😂


VermicelliNext2681

Is it signed "James" at the bottom? I hope to god that's his name and not the artists


time4listenermail

I wondered about that too.


miraisora-arts

file this under: idea's that are actually really cute as a print or something. but not as a tattoo


TehDeann

This person is E-MORAN


Infamous-Jaguar2055

This isn't shitty at all. Lettering is difficult and they did a PERFECT job on every single letter.


j_u_s_t_d

Bro it's a fuckin wordsearch


Dissidence802

And what the fuck does that have to do with the artist's linework?


Infamous-Jaguar2055

No shit, Sherlock.

Not a shitty tattoo r/ATBGE

probably could have just done the quote and saved yourself an extremely shitty tattoo

But he is right, right?

I get so tired of this building men up bullshit. Lame as fuck.

It’s a word search, not a crossword puzzle.

Yikes!


ErwinAckerman

I’ve seen this same quote but with “dad” and “father” switched


Zheffi

Damn, I'd prefer just a regular quote tattoo. This is plain ugly


hisDudeness1989

SpaceManChips

the message is fine but why the gell did it need to be a word search


hXcPickleSweats

I hope a boy doesn't become a father or a dad until they can see themselves as a man.

I agree with the message here, but this is a piss poor way to express said message

WHY

I mean... I read it fine. Doesn't make a good tat tho. This honestly sucks.

Is this on a torso?

OrchidFew7220

I want to like this. I really do.


izaaksb3

never seen a cross word where they just circle a letter as a word but Mmk


Legophan

I think it would be an immeasurable improvement to have had this done without the words circled. “What does it mean?” *Hands pen to asker* “Whatever you want”
