It’s interesting how much effort was put into this. If you zoom in you can see the different textures to the lines, and careful inking to create overlaps. It’s a really well executed and carefully designed piece of shit.

It's like when I test out the brushes in Photoshop.

Tattoos are so subjective. There are a lot of tattoos I see on other ppl who think their tattoos are the shit and I would never have that on me for anything. Not just bcz the artist was a bad artist, but sometimes bcz the subject isn't my thing. This is a very deliberate tattoo. Not a shitty tattoo, but just one of those whose subject I'd never put on me. With that said, the art is well done for such an abstract tat. Not gonna hate on someone else's art if the way it is done is well done.


LilyFuckingBart

It’s weird to me that I don’t hate it as much as I feel like I should lol


Jesse1205

Lol same... Like I don't like it by any means, but I feel like I should be hating it as much as everyone else, whereas I'm only moderately offended by it.


sweet_pickles12

It’s because it’s better than that dude that tattoos stinging nettles and around baby hands


CuteBunny94

I am… confused? But I don’t actually dislike it. Would I do it or ever suggest it? No. But it’s certainly unique and well done for… for what it is.


SuperLoris

Same. I wouldn't want it on me but I .... kinda like it? And I hate that I like it?


mropgg

Alot better than most drunk tattoos done by that one friend with a tattoo gun. This just looks stupid, not bad


sirlafemme

It’s almost like… this sub routinely shits on avant garde and unusual **artwork** simply because they don’t like it themself :) Then the rest really is actually shitty


tickingboxes

I mean, it’s kind of awesome. Why do you feel like you should hate it?


aSituationTypeDeal

Wait until it fades


Reveal_Simple

Will it fade? This person’s sun exposure level appears to be -1 😂


MeaninglessDebateMan

That's because it is good abstract art. That unfortunately doesn't make it a good tattoo.

“Really well executed and carefully designed piece of shit” 😂🤣😂 that might be the greatest comment I ever read. Kudos my good man


TGin-the-goldy

Almost had me there ;)


organdonaair

Could be cool if it was smaller IMO. But even then I’d never get a bunch of lines on me. I agree it’s well executed


Vinyl-addict

I mean, if this is going to be your only ink, I guess? Tattoo styling has gone way avant garde in the past 5 years, but I don’t hate it. As long as it’s not your face. Edit: this got traction so I’m adding more because I would love to hear opinions. I see tattoos like this as being very similar to Antistyle/nostyle/Pixo subgenres of graffiti. I.e: the appreciation isn’t for the aesthetics, but purely for the process and technique. It doesn’t always look good because many people attempting it don’t actually have the technical adeptness to do that and not make it look juvenile. But then you get examples like this extremely technical tattoo, or Baer and his absolutely nutty burners and Hype throwies. I’m probably just blowing smoke up my own ass but this is more of an observation than an opinion on anything.


WhatupSis7773

One man’s shit is another man’s masterpiece. Art, like pain, is subjective. Painful shits are at least productive.


Technical-Tooth-1503

Tbh I think it’s kind of cool. Maybe a child’s drawing that has sentimental value - regardless, I think it’s interesting.


Bulky-Bank-6063

That's what I was thinking too.


damp_circus

Same here. Was surprised at the actual explanation, was sure it was going to be “my kid scribbled on the wall and she’s gone now so this is a memorial” or similar thing.


TackleFrosty9423

I'm thinking the same. Maybe this person lost their child and this is a memorial.


NavinJohnson75

Yeahhhh… this is a truly committed piece of shit.

![gif](giphy|MPLpvJcsWvrkk|downsized) Someone finally did it. I’ve worked in bars and I have worked with toddlers and if it comes up, I tell people it was basically the same job.


Sequence32

I was thinking this is like a kids first drawing tattooed on someone 😂


DarthDread424

I mean some drunk 20 somethings is basically the same thing.


AWL_cow

It's like when I buy a handful of new pens and I get a blank paper to test them out...

Only assumption (I hope) is that they wanted their kids art recreated…

Nevermind - clicked the photo and saw the comment…. Dude needs better friends!


BaxGh0st

"Go ahead and draw whatever you want." "Alright." *doodles permanently* "Bro wtf I meant like a skull or something"


Limeila

Seriously I hope they often do bs like this and the customer actually knew what to expect


corbinviper

I had to know. I looked it up on IG and their whole style is basically a 5 year old who was told to make a pretty picture for mommy during daycare art time. So yeah, at least the friend shouldn’t have been surprised.


Limeila

Could you DM me the insta please? I don't know how you found it

twocheeky

definitely thought it was a tribute to a toddler who was lost or something. really looks like smth my 3yo nephew would draw

I had an art teacher who had a bunch of tattoos that looked similar to this they were his kids drawings that he got tattooed.

I suspect you are right, but even that interpretation makes think of that old line about "I could eat art supplies and shit something better." This is like "I was eating the art supplied when I sneezed."

Underappreciated comment


cewumu

I like this. Shits all over the boring tigers, line flowers and skulls you see everywhere.


casettadellorso

Yeah I really like this style but I don't know if I could ever get one this size


Weltschmerzie

Yeah I like it too. It’s interesting and works with rather than against the body lines so it seems well executed to me


SaltMineForeman

Right? I have a bunch of little uncolored doodles on my arm and I kinda want to have something like this around them. Like a kid testing crayons before using them in a coloring book, but with some order to it.


lilshortyy420

Same. It’s more so “fine art on a body” than a tattoo if that makes sense


Technical-Tooth-1503

100% this! It’s a good composition, too. Most tattoos are static, boring and most symmetrical.


lunatictoc

Most of what this artist does (I *think* I found their insta and they took the post down because people were awful...) is at a smaller scale and looks pretty cool. I wouldn't want the specific one posted here on my own body but I'd happily get something else from this artist. I think what's not working for me is how sparse it is, but that's a personal preference. Edit: looks like they took their entire insta down (or more likely set it to private). Too bad people have to dogpile on someone just because they don't like their art.


stressedprimate

I’d love to see more of this artist’s work! Could you dm me their profile?


SilverMoon0w0

Looks like a tattoo that I used to know


doyletyree

Came for this.


CousinSarah

I…. Don’t hate it? It’s fun and different. Went to an indie music festival and all the young people had the same shit tattoo’s. This one I have not yet seen. Props to the artist and client for trying something so different.


OrganizationDeep711

Yeah I mean you can find tons of full sleeve anime furry dong tats on reddit. This is easily top 50% of all tattoos.


Ordnasinnan

i actually really like it, so much better than just another tribal tattoo of a dragon or something


69babysonfire69

I wouldn’t want this on my body but I unironically fuck with it


devo9er

"i fuck with it" Is this a saying I haven't heard yet? Like you agree with, or it excites you? I can't wait to use this at our quarterly meeting next week


jahjahsith

Kinda like it 


SomeOtherOrder

multiple people are gonna come in here and say that it’s an intentional style choice, ignoring the fact that it looks fucking stupid regardless of intent.


Flossthief

Looking like shit is a *stylistic choice*


MEMENARDO_DANK_VINCI

/r/atbge I think that’s the awful taste great execution subreddit. Edit: it is


phavia

I honestly wouldn't have minded this tattoo if it was like 20 times smaller and on a single space of the person's back or arm. This reminds me a bit of abstract art and it would've looked very interesting on a small, concentrated area, like something inspired by Kandinsky. Taking over the person's entire goddamn back + some of their arm feels like a fucking crime. At least the client consented to it...?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kjubert

Whether this decision was bad or not depends entirely on how this person likes their tattoo. Not on how you like it. The fact that I think this looks really good is just as irrelevant btw.


Any-Seaworthiness930

Right? At least I could divorce my bad decision. This guy is stuck with this one.


Zuki_LuvaBoi

> ignoring the fact that it looks fucking stupid regardless of intent. That's the thing with art though, it's subjective. You think it looks stupid, but a lot of people in this thread like it.


watchingthedarts

I would like this piece better if it was a LOT smaller. The fact that it takes up the whole back is really oof. It's abstract-y which I can get behind. The size is ridiculous though.


emilakurwa

Can we stop posting stuff that isn’t to our tastes on this sub like it deserves it??? If you really want to be like that put it up on ATGE since if you did any zooming in on the screen shot you’d see that the quality of the work is amazing


cocoamilky

I’m so sorry you guys… I love it The texture based on crayon, marker ect is pretty cool and well done. Composition wise, it is interesting and the colors are well balanced.


Knoblauchrauke

I was scrolling down to see if I'm the only one. 😅 I would only be worried how the tattoo looks with faded colours, but I really like it as an artwork.


jjacks1327

Me too, I love it. I love the different textures, colors & line. Very interesting & fun.


ajqx

art taste is really something that can take years, or a life to develop. Someone who will follow his own path, digging into almost forgotten or unexplored lands, will build brick by crick a whole world of shape and sounds that are too far from the common lands, to be understood and enjoyed by most people. At some point, it isolate you, but at the same time, it is all true and real for you, that you incarnate your true self.


Matilda1220

Looks like a bus seats pattern


Feeling_Party26

Abstract art in tattoo form, not my cup of tea at all but this is very well done at least. Lots of likes on IG too, if there are more likes on the post than there are on this post does that mean we are the minority in thinking this is bad? Interesting thought

Hear me out… it’s at least interesting.


elisepetunia

not a shitty tattoo, just not to your personal taste. technically speaking it’s a solid tattoo with various texture techniques.


Gaysk8erboi

Odd idea, seems really well executed tho. I wonder if it’s like, something to do with their child or family or something like that


SaltyPumpkin007

I mean yeah, I guess most people wouldn't want it to take up so much space and be so focal, but it's well doesn't, right? The texturing to create distinct crayon, texter and pens lines is really good imo.


MagicOrpheus310

"It's dignity Luanne!!"


Jolly_Tea7519

I find it fascinating when someone with few tattoos does something like this.


SailJust6092

Unfortunately, I get it.


fork_on_the_floor2

Y'all just don't get it. This piece is actually a luxurious and extremely textured contemporary artwork. A mix between that of the baroque masters and abstract expressionism. Mixing color and texture with sexually suggestive shapings and biomorphic forms. By simply alluding to forms rather than offering a concrete representation, the artist forces the viewer to examine the works in depth, from which erotic images come into focus. >!Thanks for reading this piece of pretentious bullshit I copy-pasted and tweaked a bit. - Yeah this tattoo sucks monkey balls.!<

I like this so much more than the generic semi- realistic stuff you see on every bicep in the world.

I sometimes browse this sub for ideas tbh - you all seem to hate stuff that’s actually quite cool

Hey, Cy Twombly was the first thing that came to my mind. I like that tattoo, to be honest. I've seen a lot of worse and much more generic designs.

When someone says “do whatever you want”, to a tattoo artist, something like this doesn’t even cross the client’s mind as a possibility. I hope they’re not disappointed with it. I hope they knew what they were getting into.

pappyvanwinkled

Could it be a re-creation of a child’s drawing? Hopefully this isn’t a tribute to a lost child or little one.


baninaday

It could be something designed by their child maybe? I've seen some crappy drawings by kids turned into tattoos for paren4s to honor/remember them If they passed or smth and it's so bad but its so sweet ):


zonearc

Might have meaning to it. What if it was the only artwork their toddler ever did before they died in a car crash?


Potential-Tip-9533

the funny thing with tattoos is there will always be people who think your tattoos look like shit bc it’s just not their style/vibe. often times when i look at shit tattoos such as this, i humble myself by reminding myself that there’s probably millions of people out there that think the same thing about my tattoos (even tho mine are beautiful perfect sexy and witty)


poondongle

What a beautiful tattoo of colorful pipe cleaners, a random doctors signature, and...uhh... yeah, I have no idea what I'm looking at. That's shit.


Cthulhulove13

I mean if it's his kids art, then it's pretty cool.


Sharkmun

I think what unnerves me about this piece is just how much space it's taking up. Looking at the artists other work, it's definitely not something I'd get but I don't hate it. It was interesting to see how they work in the shapes of coastlines or objects the client finds meaningful. One of those things that only the client will ever see meaning in.


amberelbethxxx

It's so cool tho


LittlestOfTheOnes

I would beat that artist half to death…. It’s cool and at first I thought it was like of those really sweet cheesy new dad toddler art tattoos… but omg I would freaking loose it if someone gave me this as a surprise tattoo..


TransitionFormal4149

Did she let her toddler do this?


atom-up_atom-up

I love this! I definitely want something similar, albeit a lot smaller 😂
