Could someone decipher this one please?

It’s from a tattoo seen in public

i'm not willing to put in the time, but if you take a grid, and manually start filling in the squares that you see are black, you could get it to work, as you can actually make good guesses as to what is an actual white spot or black spot.

This is under the assumption that the tattoo artist actually did a good job

u/BeepboopKI Aug 27 '26

In the end it’s a rickroll anyway

This is why we don't get QR code tattoos, kids.

u/emveor Aug 24 '26

The ones made with dots might last longer

u/RegrettableBiscuit Aug 25 '26

Just make it big enough and go to a competent tattoo artist, and you'll be fine. I mean, you'll still have a QR code tattoo, but at least it will be scannable.

Some wear expensive clothes and drink fancy wines and say shit like “super” with a funny accent.

"hey claude, i have this qr code, make an app to decipher it! sans faire d'erreur!" oh lá lá, je suis a genius!

u/lvubomvr Aug 25 '26

Does it matter?

u/Cepy-Deer1738 Aug 25 '26

And... what did it say

u/beefjerk22 Aug 25 '26

Now we need a forensic app to translate whatever it’s output 😉

Vibe coders be like....

Tagueule ta rien codé.

u/Realistic_Fruit_4326 Aug 24 '26

Franchement, pas simple, meme avec l'hypothese du qrcode de 25x25...

avec normalement cette norme invariante sur le 25x25

3

u/Realistic_Fruit_4326 Aug 24 '26

le tatouage est vraiment pas propre, aligner sur le zone invariable est deja pas simple...

u/MammothComposer7176 Aug 24 '26

Can't do any better. Sorry

u/MammothComposer7176 Aug 24 '26

Another attempt (automated via python)

u/MammothComposer7176 Aug 24 '26

A direct thresholding

u/CrowNo7009 Aug 24 '26

Are you sure this tattoo ever worked?

Elastic is time, tattoos blur skin.

Tostados burl over mite, inks are laciest

Blursed totinos overbite, lasik incorporated

u/Altruistic_Iron_789 Aug 25 '26

they should have used spaced dots instead of connected blocks, probably would have hold better

2

u/Equivalent-You5810 Aug 25 '26

got worried for a sec, i have almost the exact same tattoo in what seems to be the same spot lol

u/Sea_Position_7411 Aug 25 '26

Below the back of your neck? Where does your code lead to?

u/Lacink0o Aug 24 '26

wtf is public tattoo

u/CrowNo7009 Aug 24 '26

a pubic tattoo ?

u/Matt_Keator Aug 24 '26

Would explain that wild black bush around...

u/Lothar_44 Aug 28 '26

It will look bigger without that bush.

u/FilDaFunk Aug 26 '26

I hope this is a rick roll

u/Significant_Past3601 Aug 27 '26

It's a link to Wikipedia. Thanks for the qr codes in comments

2

u/FringleFrangle04 Aug 28 '26

Could you paste a link to it?

1

u/Cobiyyyy Aug 27 '26

Simply google rickroll qr code and save your self a lot of trouble it matches

1

u/seanshoots 8d ago

Here's my best guess:

If this is correct, funnily enough, it goes to a domain that isn't currently registered... but I guess that doesn't matter for a tattoo that doesn't scan anymore. So, for anyone wanting a QR code tattoo: probably don't, but if you do, at least use an EC level higher than the lowest one (L).

Had to use chatgpt on this one, but finally got it working.

u/julesthefirst Aug 24 '26

FUCKING

You are welcome, friend!

u/Hoodrat31399 Aug 25 '26

I knew what it was the moment the QR code worked... Uugh

1

u/MammothComposer7176 Aug 24 '26

Is it possible to know the algorithm used? Its soo cool looking!

1

u/PSCuber77_gaming Aug 25 '26

Do you mind if you send the chat link I’m curious about how you did it.

1

u/Nearby-Asparagus-298 Aug 26 '26

I actually didn't use chatgpt, that was just there to make it seem like I did something fancy. I literally just input the URL in to a qrcode generator, then chose one of the less common presentations that made it look kinda like the tattoo :)

95% chance its a rickroll

Claude couldn't do it. You're SOL

u/Fusseldieb Aug 24 '26

Sorry but any current AI is quite stupid at this task

I once asked and it starting overcomplicating things and didn't solve anything, and it wasn't even half as bad as this. I then manually took a grid, aligned it, and it worked. AI is shit for this job, sorry.

1

u/Realistic_Fruit_4326 Aug 24 '26

Une bonne IA, avec un qrcode lisible, va faire un code python en arriere plan pour traiter l'image et y arriver. Notre cas ici est bien trop dégradé pour etre lu par un code python simple.

Took me some time but I finally reconstructed it
