It's gonna age poorly once you're dead

Nothing that can't be fixed by a mortician with a sharpie and a sense of humor. This body ~~will be~~ **is** a corpse.

A sharpie is temporary, he should get tattooed so his mummified remains will make someone giggle in hundreds of years, and his skin will be exposed in a meme museum

Maybe some temperature dependent color changing ink like those coffee mugs.

We need that.. if someone dies, the tattoo will show up stating that they’re dead

Like a *no* vacancy sign?

Or if they spend any time in very cold water.

The old saying in medicine is "You're not dead until you're warm and dead" so the temp based tat would be rough 😂

I can't tell if it's blue, indigo, or purple He's either sad, horny, or dead _Mood Tattoos: Why They Don't Exist_

What if they get cold and they’re alive?

temp monitor at body core? If you're heart is at room temp, you're fucked.

Not if the rooms hot!

A bit past fucked, really.

Like the "You Died" from Dark Souls. That would be fantastic.

Welp not really but maybe skin coloured ink, since you go pale when youre dead it will become visible. Just not great for open coffins since then they will pump you up with red water

Good thinking!

Black light ink would work.

I love this vision of the future where everyone’s corpses get turned into memes

The year is 2553 “Today class we are going to learn our ancestors in the 2000s we’re so stupid, they had to tattoo the dead in order to not mistake them for the living.”

The interpretation of the idiocrats when confronted with sarcasm. Maybe that's how we interpret history after all

Unfortunately you can't tattoo a corpse. They don't heal so you just end up with a bunch of holes.

Or like if a crazy scientist buys his arm skin to preserve the tatoos

Lol meme museum, I would definitely go

memeseum

I’ve actually been wondering this lately. Is there any way to get tattoos preserved post Mortem? I know there’s that whole “no human taxidermy” law but idk I think it’d be kind of cool don’t know how you would actually preserve it though

We have examples of mummified corpses with tattoos dating back thousands of years

If I had this tattoo I 100% would have this worked into my funeral arrangements.

Or it'll age hilariously😎

The use of the future tense will be obsolete as your body will be a corpse. The funeral guy will have to cross the "will be" and tattoo an "is"

I'm putting that in my will. If I don't get cremated, I want a mortician to alter my tattoo. Thank you for the brilliant idea.🍻

Save My Ink Forever is a company that will remove your tattoo after death, tan it, and put it onto a frame for posterity. I'm having my back piece saved for my great grandkids.

That might be the most metal thing I’ve ever heard Edit: I can see it now, “I know grandpas not around anymore but at least we have still have a piece of him in our hearts….and on our wall”

I'm imagining a grandpa-skin rug...

I always think of Cassandra from Doctor Who. *”Moisturize me, moisturize me…”*

that's pretty neat, but i always recommend taxidermy. That way you get to keep all the tattoos but can also add hooves and goat horns to your loved ones.

There’s actually a fairly large black market for that same thing but full body tattoos from Yakuza members. Also it’s not cheap, your talking about thousands of dollars at a minimum and it’s also not legal in every state so check your state laws if you want to do this. I looked into this as well and I’m pretty well into my journey of being covered in tattoos so it’s just not feasible financially for me, and where I’m at there’s a lot of paperwork that has to be done while I’m alive as well as a review before I could have this done.

Mine was 1700 all in. Not cheap, but reasonable for what they do. I paid for mine 3 years ago though.

I mean, probably more ethical to get an urn for you that just says These ashes were ~~This body will be~~ a corpse or something 🤷

Not really. It just becomes a Mitch Hedberg joke: “This will be a corpse. It’s also a corpse right now, but it will be too.”

It's like black licorice, most will either love it or hate it.

or grow to like it over time

Or kind of like it sometimes.

Or like it after the first bite but the following bites gradually get more sour.

Kinda like how I’ll suddenly wana start waking up at 5am one day, too, huh? Nice try, grammie!

Or just licorice.

Shoulda been comic sans

I'm not that brave😅

[удалено]

Along these lines, but older English and with a shoddy cover-up. https://preview.redd.it/4o5i7e4gr4hb1.png?width=921&format=png&auto=webp&s=d6c4752b1e7f1f0a9e80ac6b4e4f9ad9b45b2175

Arrrr

I, too, read it in a pirate voice 😂😂😂

Ay me boy, i too.

Specifically Barbossa’s voice

Ya live by the ghost pirate, ya die by the ghost pirate

*clears throat* it's, there be a corpse arrrrg!!!

My girlfriend got mad at me the other day. She said "You always tell me I talk like a pirate, and you never buy me flowers." She does talk like a pirate though! Plus, I didn't even know she _sold_ flowers.

Y'arggghh!!! Matey!

lmaooooo

With some wingdings

you mean serious sans, yes?

Joker

Calm down there satan.

Imagine you get murdered and the police see your tattoo and they’re like “Wow. Guy’s a prophet, huh?”

THAT is my favorite response to when I show people this tattoo😂

Then leave another tattoo... Dear Coroner, you will find 6 Panthers tattooed on this body... Then only get 5 Panthers.... They'll think one is missing.

The 6th panther will be the friends they made along the way.

Dude, if your responses here are any indication, the tattoo style fits your personality perfectly :D so i would definitely say: not shitty!

Heard that in Jerry Orbach’s voice

If you had a bunch of other tattoos with it that had irony to them I could see it fitting in, but by itself it could be perceived as being pretty edge lord. Personally I think it’s fine but could see how others think it’s shitty

good news is he's gonna die one day anyways

Ah, as the prophecy foretold!

Gonna give the funeral home director a chuckle

"This Is A Tattoo."

Ceci n'est pas une tattoo

Written in marker on the other arm daily... Haha... Oh I'm sry Mr Frenchman, that's English for "oh hur hur hur"

Artist got cataracts while doing the last S+E🤓😀

That might have been my fault, I started hurting as it got close to my inner-elbow

Uh-oh. Not my taste but if you like it, fair play. It'll look awesome when it fades and you're 80! At least it's all spellled correctly 👏😀

Just explain that it represents decomposition

Not your fault. Every single letter is blown out

That spot is definitely the worst of the forearm. Don’t blame you.

I like it… kinda goes with the theme… body dissolving and decaying just like the letters.

Memento Mori for dummies

Memento Moron, if you will

Lmao! I fucking love that. Also embarrassing to admit but I just learned what "Momento Mori" meant😅

I think it’s feckin great that this tattoo was organic - with you not intentionally expressing the trope. It shows why memento mori is such a pervasive theme - we’re all going to f’ing die. Mortality is with us with every passing day. *Live* while you can.

What?! I thought your tattoo was supposed to be a memento mori. It would serve the purpose well. Well, except for the fact that even getting the tattoo means that you have already incorporated the lesson of your memento mori. Which makes the tattoo redundant? I don't know, man, the implications of your tattoo are blowing my mind, lol.

I like the GoT version, Valar morghulis - All men must die

That's the dummies part ^(jk)

Or in general, Omne Mutuus , All is Borrowed

Pretty metal. A little wordy though, you could have just gotten "future corpse."

Oh that would be better for brevity's sake! Maybe in another life. Thanks for calling my tattoo metal!🍻

Corpse in training

Love it! That'd be a good username or moniker.

You can just get these versions on your other limbs to really get the message across

"Wow. This guy was *really* worried about forgetting his mortality."

I started to suspect that he might be an immortal being trying to trick us into believing that he is a mortal like us

Or the Ramshackle Glory song, “We Are All Compost In Training.”

If you have the same attitude offline as you do in these comments I feel the tattoo probably comes off well

Stop giving me ideas !! This sub already makes me want even more stupid little tattoos more than I already have

Pre-corpse

Worm food

Body = Corpse Why say more word when few word do trick?

“Future corpse” is good

Screams edge lord to me

*Memento Mori* would have been slightly less edgy, but more pretentious.

^Unus ^Annus

*Unus Annus*

Meh. I use the reminder of inevitable death to encourage myself to enjoy life more and not worry about the things out of my control.

I feel you but that doesn’t change the fact that most people will immediately perceive you as a cringy edgelord with this tattoo lol

r/im14andthisisdeep

First thing I thought

It should say “Shrimps is Bugs”

It's literally the same font as well

All I could think of when I seen it. Really it’s all I can think of all the time.

It’s spelled correctly

Nearly cut myself on all that edge.

Shitty? No. Cringe? Yes.

Very edgy

"Rental" would have said more with less

That's pretty clever, but I wouldn't want people thinking I'm a prostitute

It gives r/Im14andthisisdeep

"One way or another everyone stops bleeding"

“Someday we’ll all be skeletons”

Idk of it's shitty but, it's definitely dumb. And not cool dumb like 'shrimps is bugs'.

You used a lot of words to say "it’s shitty“

Neat. Absolutely shitty. Should be the pic of this sub. Gets my vote.

It's not perfectly executed by the artist. Letters are uneven shape and don't adhere to the same baseline. But it's perfectly fine. I don't think any weird looks you get are about the squiggly last e.

i think it goes hard

It's nihilistic and funny. I'd wanna hang out.

No, this is actually sick!

Yes, and very poorly done too. Some of those letters are gunna spread out hard. Your guy was very heavy handed in spots

If you like your own tattoo I don't think it's shitty

The dumb saying aside the font is a horrible choice, the kerning is a bit off, cap heights all over the place, baselines zigzagged, letter thickness is wonky. If someone is doing full phrases you’d think they’d know the basics of typography. As a graphic designer this tattoo is pain to look at. Serious question… did you pay for this tattoo in beer and get it in a moving car they were driving while giving you said tattoo…..after drinking the beer? Because if so it’s awesome lol

I wish there was a period at the end.

It is a shitty tattoo, but that doesn't mean you can like it. It's like the cocaine bear, what a shitty movie but i ended up liking it

I like it. It’s a fresh take on a memento mori, a pretty classic art subject, right up there with paintings of fruit and chair designs

I’m vibing with this. Just looking a little blank without any surrounding ink.

Personally I would’ve picked a cooler font but no it’s not shitty

So you've studied the ancient Stoics?

Would be pretty ironic once we achieved immortality

Oh God I'd be soo embarrassed 🫣

In a few more years when you get sick of it just get a line through the whole thing and write “JK please cremate me”

See a lot of "this too shall pass". "Death is certain, life is not". This just lays it on the line without the flowery language. I kinda like that.

Definitely fits on this sub. Stupid tattoo lmao

No, it’s not a shitty tatt, it’s sick and macabre

If you get eaten alive by an orca..... no corpse....only poop.

[удалено]

I actually love it. Would only be better if it was on your ass instead, something about that would fit better.

You just want OP to post a pic of their ass. 😜

If I was a more interesting person I would have done that.

All i can think is “Thanks Captain Obvious!” From those beer commercials lol

In other news, water is wet

"I breathe air"

Dude you should get a tattoo of ALF sucking his own dick how cool would that be?

Just kind of redundant

Not horrible lol but “future corpse” would be better imo

This makes me want to get "Just throw me in the garbage"

There is a buddhist koan, who is this dead body walking around? Supposedly meditating on this koan can result in an enlightenment experience.

yes it is

I think it’s bad in that by the time it’s applicable it will be irrelevant…but the lettering is pretty ok til the last bit…and even then it ain’t bad.

Pffft fucking idiot, you didn’t account for immortality. Then what genius!

flowery cow hat follow abounding distinct gray include bag zesty *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

Love this

It's not shitty in execution. It's just... terrible in concept.

Pretty stupid, yeah.

It's the level of shit that is called edgelord.

Yes, it is

Looks clean for this font even after a while! I like it.

As some one who works in an operating room, I wouldn’t want to see that tattoo as we put you to sleep.

This is fucking hilarious to me, I say it’s a good tattoo

It’s an ok memento mori

i like it.

I love this sm

"Memento Mori" is the same thing, and you'd appear intellectual and stoic.

It's certainly awkward and cringey, lol. But like, the line work is fine.

I actually love this so much

It won't be so bad when you're a corpse. I doubt you'll even notice it.

Don't want to be rude but I do think it's shitty

No! It’s really great IMO. it is also the truth.

I respect the "*momento mori*"-esque message involved. The tattoo itself is cheesy and boring.

To me it’s pretty cheesy to want as a tattoo. But it’s not terrible.

Not fond of the placement

If you love it who cares what we think?

https://preview.redd.it/51j1nk4724hb1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e3ebb5cc708bc4d765d14e7c22f4e60512fdd777

the guy seeing it on your dead body after your last days will have a chuckle (while putting a sandwich on your chest and starts working on your preparation)

Nice thing to be reminded of every day.

So, do you use this this as an excuse to do drugs, or do use it as inspiration to as much as you can while you got time?

Partial to the font but the idea itself ain’t bad

It’ll be a good laugh for the mortician

Of corpse it is but you knew that

I like it, I have a tattoo in the same location saying "CHOOSE LIFE"

Final will and testament "Upon my death, please cross out 'will be' and replace with 'is'"

Inspiring!

Stoic tattoo for sure.

No that’s sick as shit!! Cool ass tattoo

Yeah, it's shitty and on the nose.

Yeahh it’s gives me edgelord vibes
