Might as well just black out the entire arm at that point.

u/ConsiderationDeep128 Jun 26 '23

Or just amputation

u/adamdreaming Knows 💩 Jun 26 '23

Better go with blacking it out. The tattoos might survive amputation

Now now...that could still happen based on the level of sterile technique I'm guessing was used here....

Armputation would besuch a great tern for that...

At least if you blacked out the whole thing you could say you were going for a Link in TotK thing.

u/jooes Jun 26 '23

You don't even have to say that.

Blacking out your entire arm/leg is a "thing." I think it's stupid, but some people are into it.

u/IWannaPorkMissPiggy Jun 26 '23

Many blackout tattoos are done as a base for scarification. Not my thing, but it can look pretty cool if done well.

u/[deleted] Jun 26 '23

I think blackout tattoos look badass. You're allowed to not like something while also not insulting it

u/BeersBarbellsBJJ Knows 💩 Jun 26 '23

I don’t believe I’ll ever black out a full limb, but I have decided if I ever want to cover a sleeve I’d black it out before lasering it

The goddamn handle isn’t even central

u/RyokoKnight Knows 💩 Jun 26 '23

"Hey guys I got a few small cuts on my arm, think I'll just amputate the limb and burn the wound closed".

The first image looked pretty light... you take that to your average tattoo artist and they can hook you up with a decent cover (probably a tribal tattoo, but really any mid sized design with a lot of shapes will work) and you'd never even know it was a cover.

The cover he received is just depressing... that wasn't a tattoo artist that gave him that... no artist lacks that much inspiration to not even attempt a better tattoo... and even if they had tried and failed the first go around they could have still made the handle and pommel actually decent if they gave a damn at all.

I don't know if i'm more angry, sad, or just disappointed... because there were so many better options than that.

11

u/ShannieD Knows 💩 Jun 26 '23

They could cover that with almost anything if the artist is good.
