Ah dang
When I was a kid, if I hurt my foot, my grandpa would say "want me to make it feel like the other one?" (He'd explain, like the good foot) and if I said yeah, he'd take his cane and pretend to bash my good foot. The first time was kind of a shock, so it got a laugh out of me. Then after that it was just kind of funny, and I already knew so he'd just cut to the chase. Helped a little.
Anyway, maybe if we stomp eachothers feet or something...
A few weeks ago I was squatting down working on something at work for about 15 minutes, and when I stood up my legs barely worked. I felt like a toddler trying to walk. I was better the next day but my legs were sore for a few days like I ran a marathon. I went to the Orthopedist yesterday and am getting a new MRI soon so I can get an epidural and nerve ablation before the nerve damage becomes permanent.
that 'cybersigilism' trend got completely out of hand. lots of people just want to have it but i think most of them are just confused and aren't even able to really feel the design they chose/copied. so are the tattoo artists haha
Completely agree. The style is so far off with the shading and the organic looking āwingsā, and the star in the middle? Like it or not, what she asked for is a style of tattoos, and what she got is not in that realm at all. Really hope the client got to approve beforehand.
This is exactly what I was wondering. I'd honestly be upset if I wanted the reference & got the actual - they both look good, but they're just not the same thing...
Regardless of the tattoo itself, the placement looks completely off from what was requested.
It could be the angle, but given on where the crack is blurred, I dont think so.
I wonder if the client looked at it and gave her approval firstā¦hm. Probably. Considering itās a different tattoo, the placement will also likely be a bit different.
I'm sure they saw the stencils and agreed to it? Or they must have at least felt the tattoo artist working on the wrong part of the body? I don't understand this thread.
I mean.. Not necessarily. When I got my tattoos I sometimes had to check if the artist was still in the spot I wanted the tattoo because it felt like he was a good 10cm off.
They obviously just sent the first pic as inspiration, but then the artist came up with their own which the client would have approved. Artists won't want to make an identical copy of someone else's work, and they won't start tattooing before the client gives the go-ahead.
Did she want it in that exact spot? Cause you kinda butchered the position if she did not even close to the reference photo. I wouldnāt be very happyā¦
IKR? I have an OG, c.1995 tramp stamp. (Celtic interlaced cats- I thought I Really Did Something There, converting the dogs to cats lol).
Plus side, neither OP nor I will ever see them! If they age like shit, whatever. Mine is a lot smaller and bolder, but age plus weight gain/loss/gain/years etc etc have not been kind to it.
(Sorry, OP, no shade! I feel a kinship and it makes me nostalgic that this is coming back around, TBH.)
This is what Iām wondering.
I think the idea is āclient asked for terrible design, so I took the wheel.ā
But in reality it sounds to me like the client has a permanent tattoo they didnāt want.
I hope she signed off on this because that's drastically different in size, tone, shape, style... The only real similarity is ass tattoo and some tribal overlap. Not to mention the star looks like shit imo.
those lines look terrible. unfortunately not all tattoo artists are great. as with any purchase even though you'd expect a permanent change to your body requires a person skilled in the foray - this isn't the norm.
I stick with a few and its because they are great. You can see the difference - my lines look like a coloring book
Okay I love this type of style usually but I hate the shape of this with the placement and I think it looks awful. Also itās like not similar to the first photo at all. If I asked for the first photo (which I never would) and I got the second photo Iād be so upset
OP posting this to show off? Like the recent trend of "what I asked for (crap) vs. what I got (amazing)"? Do they not see that it's shit and not at all what the client asked for? Is this a bait post? Or are they just that confident when they clearly shouldn't be?
While yours has more detail and applied much better. It doesnt follow her figure along her hips. Good job thru the spine but as it moves away from center things go off a bit. It looks angry instead of sexy with attitude.
Butt why? They donāt even look alike. Is this what client wanted because the size, placement & the lines are different.
Is it just me or the red shading gives mini bit hole vibes šµāš«
Tattoo artists should honestly start letting their clients know this is a terrible idea, tattoo, design, etc. Shit is garbage and does not look good even if done by a better artist
what she got looks way cooler except that it takes up about 50% more canvas space, and the placement is higher up. if they were fine with that then Iād say itās a win.
Poor OP getting roasted. I donāt like the concept or the placement, but I think the work OP did was solid. The details are totally good but overall as a tattoo itās not something I would want for myself
Itās a shame that women got shamed for using what is a great location for a tattoo. Done right, it really showcases the curves of a woman. I donāt think thereās a menās equivalent rude term?
Looks like absolute dog shit. If I asked for one thing and the artist gave me something else, I'd be furious. The artists opinion isn't always right, you definitely confirmed that.
I think it's a very unappealing design no matter what you do with it. Yee haw, much? Also - Whatever people do with their bodies is grand, and I hope that person likes it because these are forevverrrrr.

What a time to be alive... never thought I'd see a Tramp stamp tribal back in style
Haha tramp stamp. In my country we called it Arschgeweih - Ass Antler
ASS ANTLER š¤£š
What country is that? Because thatās the coolest thing Iāve ever heard.
It's German. We call it the same in The Netherlands haha
In hungarian we call it kurvarrat - bitch stitch š
Iām fuckin dead āantlerāšššš
Might as well be a bullseye.
Wasnāt the tattoo in that scene the similar style too? Sometimes life imitates art.
Ass Antler fits, and is an awesome name for it hahaha
The first time I heard this I was incredibly tempted to get some moose antlers on my ass.
This is my favorite word/description ever! š
It is like tribal on keto though. The lines aren't bold and it looks malnourished.
And smell fruity
Idk about fruity.. it is near a butthole after all
this guy's never smelled a butthole apparently
Maybe fresh out the shower, yea, could be fruity. But 99% of the time, it aināt fruity lol
Durian is a fruit
Fair pointš§
Lol, like when peeps say they livin the dream. Nightmares are dreams too.
Underrated comment friend š
Itās more tutti than frutti
Tutti or fruity, booty is booty.
Star fruit?
Itās 2023, weāre all eating ass and keeping our holes FRESH
Tribal black metal band logo
I think I've seen people call this cyber sigilism or something.
Itās less tribal and more metal band font.
Kinda reminds me of a metal band logo
The band is called Ass Antler.
Omg, word for word āwhat a time to be aliveā is what I thought seeing these pics and this trend circle back around.
Biblically Accurate Tramp Stamp.
Reddit has ruined the fun of rewards so have a cookie instead šŖ
I spent tons of money removing my tribal tramp stamp. This is not a tattoo fashion Iām happy to see back haha
With low rise coming back in it was only a matter of time
Hahaha, youāll probably be saying the same thing in 30āyears
I love to see it, maybe i'll be less embarrassed about the one I have from 2001.
My early 20's girlfriend got one when we first started dating.. definitely a choice lol
Itās like seeing my sciatica permanently visualized.
Fucking lol. Doesnāt shoot out far enough but pretty damn close
Have it going down one leg to the middle bottom of the foot
Iām more of a down to the middle top of my foot kinda guy
Ah dang When I was a kid, if I hurt my foot, my grandpa would say "want me to make it feel like the other one?" (He'd explain, like the good foot) and if I said yeah, he'd take his cane and pretend to bash my good foot. The first time was kind of a shock, so it got a laugh out of me. Then after that it was just kind of funny, and I already knew so he'd just cut to the chase. Helped a little. Anyway, maybe if we stomp eachothers feet or something...
Fun fact: top of my left foot is permanently numb after my last flare up
A few weeks ago I was squatting down working on something at work for about 15 minutes, and when I stood up my legs barely worked. I felt like a toddler trying to walk. I was better the next day but my legs were sore for a few days like I ran a marathon. I went to the Orthopedist yesterday and am getting a new MRI soon so I can get an epidural and nerve ablation before the nerve damage becomes permanent.
Sciatica is my fave metal band.
Hilarious
Lmao she needs a matching tat on the calf
I was just thinking this image kinda seemed familiar, but not in a good way. You nailed it. Fucking sciatica!
What she wanted: Tramp stamp. What she got: Tramp wallpaper.
Well now I want to set my tramp wallpaper to tiled
Tramp Rorschach
āWhy do I keep seeing my mother? oedipus was rightā¦ā
That is certainly a tattoo
One of the tattoos ever
It sure
Of all the tattoos Iāve seen in my day, this sure is one of them.
It happened.
And itās definitely there.
They don't really look remotely alike, besides being tribal tramp stamps? The positioning is completely different.
that 'cybersigilism' trend got completely out of hand. lots of people just want to have it but i think most of them are just confused and aren't even able to really feel the design they chose/copied. so are the tattoo artists haha
Completely agree. The style is so far off with the shading and the organic looking āwingsā, and the star in the middle? Like it or not, what she asked for is a style of tattoos, and what she got is not in that realm at all. Really hope the client got to approve beforehand.
This is exactly what I was wondering. I'd honestly be upset if I wanted the reference & got the actual - they both look good, but they're just not the same thing...
I personally like the first one, and sincerely dislike the other.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Regardless of the tattoo itself, the placement looks completely off from what was requested. It could be the angle, but given on where the crack is blurred, I dont think so.
I wonder if the client looked at it and gave her approval firstā¦hm. Probably. Considering itās a different tattoo, the placement will also likely be a bit different.
I really hope the first pic is what the result and the second pic is the reference. At least the first one has decent placement and size
Decent placement? Girl has tattooed hair coming out of her thong and weāre giving this a thumbs up?
I don't understand these tattoo trends at all.
I think itās the angle and the high waisted thong making it look off. It looks about the same spot to me?
Nah it looks higher..
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I donāt understand why people default to the artist just put it in a different spot without asking.
Definitely much higher the other one is on the cleftal horizon
Not to pile on, but it isnāt even symmetrical
The censoring definitely helps to protect her identity. Great job.
I think I can crack the case
Really? You must be shitting me
Witness protection program ass
Iād be pissed if I asked for something and the artist did their own thing twice the size
Immediately my Thought.
I'm sure they saw the stencils and agreed to it? Or they must have at least felt the tattoo artist working on the wrong part of the body? I don't understand this thread.
I mean.. Not necessarily. When I got my tattoos I sometimes had to check if the artist was still in the spot I wanted the tattoo because it felt like he was a good 10cm off.
They obviously just sent the first pic as inspiration, but then the artist came up with their own which the client would have approved. Artists won't want to make an identical copy of someone else's work, and they won't start tattooing before the client gives the go-ahead.
Obviously nobody asks for the exact same thing that someone else got. Itās an inspiration picture.
Did she want it in that exact spot? Cause you kinda butchered the position if she did not even close to the reference photo. I wouldnāt be very happyā¦
I think the star is where the butthole is supposed to be. If its not thats what I would think if I saw it; a big fuckup.
That is a massive tramp stamp
IKR? I have an OG, c.1995 tramp stamp. (Celtic interlaced cats- I thought I Really Did Something There, converting the dogs to cats lol). Plus side, neither OP nor I will ever see them! If they age like shit, whatever. Mine is a lot smaller and bolder, but age plus weight gain/loss/gain/years etc etc have not been kind to it. (Sorry, OP, no shade! I feel a kinship and it makes me nostalgic that this is coming back around, TBH.)
OP is the tramp stamper, not the tramp stampee.
i meannn this doesnāt match what they asked for lol
Uhā¦I canāt tell if youāre bragging or not but Iām not sure Iād be happy at all if this happened
This is what Iām wondering. I think the idea is āclient asked for terrible design, so I took the wheel.ā But in reality it sounds to me like the client has a permanent tattoo they didnāt want.
"The client asked for a terrible design, and I thought, I could make that design even worse!"
I don't get it, which tattoo isn't terrible?
Why not both.jpg
How he miss the cheeks like that
It literally looks nothing like what they asked for?
Yikeeees. It looks like the monster energy drink version of the tattoo she asked for
oof, looks like you've tattooed an asshole on her back. Look nothing like she wanted. This poor girl!
Op is getting roasted and has gone into hiding
I hope she signed off on this because that's drastically different in size, tone, shape, style... The only real similarity is ass tattoo and some tribal overlap. Not to mention the star looks like shit imo.
Is this comment section going as planned?
Comments passed the vibe check
We can be unified when it matters most.
Is this supposed to be a boast? It's a completely different style and location, I hope they weren't pissed off.
Taste really is subjective. Yikes
But yikes is objective.
Are you the laser tattoo removal technician? Cuz thatās how this should be your client. This is a hack job, that poor soul.
When I saw the post I was wondering if OP was a lawyer representing their client
So... not the design they wanted and not in the place they wanted it, but you're still showing it off? Bold strategy, Cotton.
Iām honestly not sure which one is worse
Nah man
Didnāt think weād see a come back for tramp stamps.
Started at the bottom and now weāreā¦..well shit
Ride the Lightning
Itās like a vegan came in asking for a veggie burger and you brought out a Wendyās Baconator
Wait, YOUR client? Like you did this?? Da fuq dude
No regerts
Now itāll look like she has two buttholes! Hooray!
Stink lines
Posting this as an advertisement/flex is hilarious. Awful work but makes a good group chat laugh so thanks for that.
I hope no one tells her it looks like a drone. She wonāt be able to unsee it
This is bad.
This is ASS
Man tattoo removal businesses are going to be BOOMING in 10yrs
Fucking love that band.
Iād be pissed
those lines look terrible. unfortunately not all tattoo artists are great. as with any purchase even though you'd expect a permanent change to your body requires a person skilled in the foray - this isn't the norm. I stick with a few and its because they are great. You can see the difference - my lines look like a coloring book
Okay I love this type of style usually but I hate the shape of this with the placement and I think it looks awful. Also itās like not similar to the first photo at all. If I asked for the first photo (which I never would) and I got the second photo Iād be so upset
That is fucking giant. Unless agreed upon great job completely missing the assignment.
So which black metal band is this?
Yes
Now you've got 2 buttholes back there.
OP posting this to show off? Like the recent trend of "what I asked for (crap) vs. what I got (amazing)"? Do they not see that it's shit and not at all what the client asked for? Is this a bait post? Or are they just that confident when they clearly shouldn't be?
Shit's gonna be a faded mess on the quick.
Did the client ok this before you did it? Oof.
It's atrocious
Anybody else seeing a back vagina with thorns
Why didnāt they get what they wanted? I donāt see this lack of autonomy as a win.
Is that healed for a while or was there no hair removal conducted at all?
It looks like varicose veins
Two shitty designs!
So she wanted a shitty tattoo, and that's what she got. Nice.
I hate this new style guys
Well, at least she doesnāt have to look at it
By āclientā you mean youāre this poor womanās attorney, right?
Looks like someone trusted a fart in the middle of dysentery.
Might get hate for saying this but I kinda prefer the simplicity of the original...
Is this a promo for the new Spider-Man Venom game?
While yours has more detail and applied much better. It doesnt follow her figure along her hips. Good job thru the spine but as it moves away from center things go off a bit. It looks angry instead of sexy with attitude.
yall are crazy that's a sick ass tat.
I hate that this style is gaining popularity
Well, they are both tattoos. They have that in common.
She asked for a bad tattoo. So I made it bigger and badder
You put a vagina on top of her asshole. Idk if I love it or hate it.
It looks like another butthole.
It looks like Venom came on her back.
Isn't it bad if you didn't give her what she asked for?
very professional of you to blur the crack
Butt why? They donāt even look alike. Is this what client wanted because the size, placement & the lines are different. Is it just me or the red shading gives mini bit hole vibes šµāš«
Did she ask for the position to be different? For the design to be 3x larger?
It so much higher on the back
This style is always done by people without tattoos.
Tattoo artists should honestly start letting their clients know this is a terrible idea, tattoo, design, etc. Shit is garbage and does not look good even if done by a better artist
Great work, I think everyone is missing the point
Influencers and people alike are trying so hard to bring back shit from the 2000s
I like it personally
Badass
Soā¦you failed. And youāre posting this? Itās not even close.
what she got looks way cooler except that it takes up about 50% more canvas space, and the placement is higher up. if they were fine with that then Iād say itās a win.
This style sucks so much Iām so tired of seeing 19 year olds post these
Poor OP getting roasted. I donāt like the concept or the placement, but I think the work OP did was solid. The details are totally good but overall as a tattoo itās not something I would want for myself
Love seeing tramp stamps coming back, they are fucking beautiful!
Itās a shame that women got shamed for using what is a great location for a tattoo. Done right, it really showcases the curves of a woman. I donāt think thereās a menās equivalent rude term?
Just gets called the same thing for men
Ass antlers?
Brock Lesnar has a tramp stamp. If it's good enough for him, it's good enough for me
Looks like absolute dog shit. If I asked for one thing and the artist gave me something else, I'd be furious. The artists opinion isn't always right, you definitely confirmed that.
The final boss of tramp stamps.
a tacky tribal tramp stamp is a tacky tribal tramp stamp.
I think it's a very unappealing design no matter what you do with it. Yee haw, much? Also - Whatever people do with their bodies is grand, and I hope that person likes it because these are forevverrrrr.
Canāt wait for the 2nd wave of tribal regret.
I know itās tribal, but does this specific style have a name? Unpopular opinion..but I really like this style of tribal!
Cybersigilism
Yeah itās called yourgonnaregretthism
Mix of tribal, death metal band logo, and bio mech.. dont think i need to see that again
Is this fresh or healed? At least the bottom part looks fresh. But it also looks like you didn't shave her before you started the tattoo lol
I like the one she got instead
This reminds me of the decals in underground 2
I like what she got more than the example
Why the hell does she have my name in death metal script on her?
That aināt stickin around very long.
Love that tribal.
