"Seems A Tad Done To Death": 30 Tattoo Designs That Scream “I Have No Creativity,” According To People Online An ex boss had his own name in Olde English script down the inside of his forearm. I'd been working with him for months before I saw it, the conversation went as such.

'What's that?'

'A tattoo.'

'Well yeah, but what does it say?'

'Darren.'

'Why have you got your own name tattooed on you?'

'I wanted a tattoo for years, so my wife bought me one for my 40th.'

'And that's what you came up with after 40 years?'

Needless to say, I was fired soon afterwards.

"Seems A Tad Done To Death": 30 Tattoo Designs That Scream “I Have No Creativity,” According To People Online I’m a tattoo artist, For me it’s three types of people.
1. The ones who are getting them only because it’s a current trend. They always come back wanting it covered or wanting it lasered off.
2. The ones who bring me something directly off Pinterest. And have 0 interest in letting me design it my way. I actually tell these people I’m not interested and direct them to another artist. That only happens every once in a while now.
3. Patriotic tattoos. Cornbread dudes walk in the shop wanting a battle flag and a 3% logo. I either try to talk them out of it or tell them I’m not doing it. Regardless of how much money it’d make me.
There is many more I could go on about but those 3 stick out the most. Everyone has opinions these are just mine

I know I'll get a lot of s**t for this but as a raised conservative Jew it makes no sense. Jews aren't supposed to get tattooed per biblical beliefs, then Hitler and the SS solidified that by branding and tattooing 6 million of us as identification.

It's kind of an insult to injury thing in my eyes. I'm not against peoples rights to tattooing, I just find Hebrew tattoos yelling "look at me" im either that Jewish or hey I really like this old testament looking s**t. Kind of like Sanskrit, can you actually read any of that Angelina Jolie?

I get really insulted when people blow off my semicolon tattoo as "random chubby yt chick following a trend." It happens uncomfortably often, even though everyone knows what the damn thing means and ought to have the tact to not mock it. It means I'm proud of surviving hell and making the choice to keep going even when everything in me begged to let it end. I got into it not too long ago with someone about how I just wanted to be on the "trauma bandwagon" so I could have something "special" about me so I could be more than a basic chubby yt chick. They shut up once I started describing details. TL;DR don't mock mental health tattoos. Glad they aren't on the list.

I like that it exists because I'm connecting with other people like me (my comment about semicolon). But I heartily agree with you regarding judging someone else's tattoo. The only time I think "oh that's a horrid person" if I see a tattoo is if it's a hate symbol.

Why does your tattoo need to show your creativity? If someone wants a very standard tattoo, because that's the thing that happens to make them happy, they should get that! Why do you need to change from choosing the tattoo you love, to choosing something that makes you look unique? Why on earth is that more important than what makes you happy?

11points

CatLady 1 year ago

I really, really love this comment, @Jaya. I mean, I'm glad the article gave me a chance to connect with people similar to me, but now that I think about it, the whole thing harkens back to the 1980s and1990s fashion magazines where you HAD to follow the trends but not overdo it or look like you were trying too hard, etc. Those magazines messed up so many heads....

I was once sitting for a tattoo and a guy walked in for his appointment with the other artist. He was covered in random tattoos. He was in shorts, a tank top and flip flops. He walks in carrying a slurpee from the nearby 7-11. The artist says, so what are we doing today? I thought that was weird because my artist and I always have a plan worked before the appointment. The guy stands there moment, looks around, looks down at his splurpee, shrugs, and says, "How about this?" He had a slurpee tattoo put on his thigh. I thought it was flippin great. I think of that guy often and how he was just living life so carefree. Life is short, do what makes you happy. People who sit in judgment are probably miserable.

A lot of young people( 18-- 25) choose tattoo designs for shock effect( swastikas; devils, or skulls). many get words written in a foreign language like Chinese or Japanese. I once heard about a guy who got a chinese tattoo. He believed that it said great warrior. After he got it done; a girl who could read chinese asked him about it. He proudly said it meant great warrior. She laughed . then she told him that it meant STUPID WHITE A*****E.

Listen.. I'm covered in tattoos. Are their styles or designs that I don't like or that I think are played out or lack creativity? Of course. That's why I don't have that design/style on my body. But what you get tattooed on your body is none of my business! My only pet peeve with other peoples tattoos is when they copy someone else's tattoo. It's okay to be inspired by someone else's work... but make it your own! I've had 3 of my tattoos stolen. Tattoos that i designed myself. 2 of which are tribute tattoos to my late father & pitbull. That's why I don't post photos of my tattoos on social media anymore. But other than that who fucken cares what you tattoo on your body. As long as you're happy with it & you didn't copy someone else.. then that's all that matters. Stop being pretentious, judgmental jerks about what other people do with their body.
