I was trying to figure out WTF is going on here...

The text tattoos, eyebrow, corner of the eye, chest, are all backwards, but Texas is not.

Makes me think he did the text himself whlle looking in a mirror.

People probably tell him "Dude, your tats are backwards!" at which point he looks in a mirror and thinks they look fine.

The crack pipe under his chin should give away the reason for any of the other tattoo designs

My picture is literally from a page titled "Identifying crack pipes" on a recovery center's website.

I'm always resistant to throwing trashy around. It just feels really shitty to judge that on one picture. Some tats, it really can be the angle or lighting that makes a difference.

But, sometimes, you run across a pic like this where there's so many problems I just can't think of a better word for the tattoos.

Bad placements, bad techniques, bad designs, bad everything. Like, if you're gonna do face ink, make sure they're well executed.

There is a certain degree of intentionality to some people's choices of bad tattoos, where it's a form of self expression to have badly done or otherwise bad ink. But this doesn't look like that, it just looks like someone thought these were good and doesn't know better.

Lest we forget to specifically mention out "bad content" when there's a meth pipe on his neck

A spoon would make it heroin. You smoke crack out of a pipe just like meth. The tattoo is definitely a meth pipe though.

Why is this being debated? Is one more socially acceptable than the other?

In that case, it's definitely a jenkem flute.

Thought so as well. But someone in here posted another photo where you can see that it's a pipe

3

Probably on meth when he had them done. He just warning people to stay away from him.

5

Is that a meth pipe, or a lighter heating up a spoon? I think we need to track down the original artist here to confirm.

Edit: there's quite an interesting debate in the comments about this already 😅

4

Yeah, that's true. I tend not to think about that as inherently bad. The same thing on a thigh under shorts might be dubious, but not the same way when it's on the neck, if you get the distinction I'm using

How can you make yourself more unemployable than having a visible face/neck/head tattoo?

It's a badly drawn crack pipe...

I shouldn't know this but I think it's a meth pipe.

Meth would also explain the other tattoos.

Definitely possible but he'd have less energy to get shitty tattoos

All the tattoos look like he did them himself in front of a mirror

You can still do fun stuff like prostitution, selling your parents stuff or mugging people. Yay!

Most people wouldn't do business with that guy. Not the fact that he has face tats, but that he chose those scream to me, that he is very bad at decision making or that he just doesn't give a fuck. Plus a meth pipe? Major red flag.

It obviously depends on the type of job, but you might still want to look presentable on front of clients even if you're your own boss.

Right, the Texas tattoo would be my first priority, too 😅

There's an entire hand covering her face, there's no way to make it "clearer". Might as well let an ai guess what she looks like.

Why not ask them to take another picture? Is this the only one in existence? Did they agree to the wedding invite?

I mean, remove a couple of the other tattoos and it's basically presentable.

Fine, I'll do it myself:

(the left one can't actually control him because of the darn hat)

This is basically the art world version of opening and closing your own Pull Request. 😂

Wynonna Rider vibes out of her. And without tattoos he's good looking too.

Sans drugs they're a good looking couple. That ain't gonna last tho

1

I agree with you, but it is hard to tell because it appears a third grader drew it.

Edit: the crystal on the chin leads me to believe it is a meth pipe.

Edit 2: but the fiancee's name is crystal, so the plot thickens.

You all do realize those are just drawn on with a marker right? If those were real, and fresh enough to have the ink smear, they would be way more red and probably raised a bit.

8
lemmy.world

those tats are entirely real, old, and indistinct because they were put on in prison.

You can literally see the smear lines in the picture (the chin especially). On top of that they're clearly taking a joke picture and she's hiding her laughter. If this dude has these face tattoos and teeth THAT nice he's like a complete anomaly. Everything in this picture says those are marker, but you can believe whatever you want!

Why are the tattoos on the other side of his face in these pictures? (say, the one connected to his eye). Is that something that happens when you take a selfie v normal picture?

feddit.uk

Thanks, no worries. You'd think at 50 I'd know but don't really take many pictures, certainly not selfies.

It would have been an elaborate ruse to say the least :). The thing I can't get over are his teeth, they're immaculate lol

3

I actually suspect that if our selfie camera was not mirrored, that we would instantly notice and be weirded out by it. We're just used to looking at our own face in a mirror, so in that way it looks normal and we don't think about it.

4

or, hear me out, maybe there are two of these twats, mirror images of each other, with matching meth pipes and lol no I just can't....

3

People wouldn't take two pictures in the same day. That would be crazy.

I'm not sure what you think this proves. It looks like the photos were taken moments apart.

Well yeah. Backwards font and a meth pipe on his neck. I mean I partake in that too but I wouldn't get it tattooed on me. Especially on my neck. There's a huge stigma for using something that is basically a stronger but more neurotoxic ADHD medication. I'm not trying to glorify it, nor do I think everyone should do it, but the stigma is ridiculous. To have it tattooed on your neck is just asking to be discriminated against

I dunno, he's a decent looking guy in terms of facial features. Wouldn't go as far as stunning, but I'm not attracted to men, so my perception is likely off in that regard.

4

He look a lot better if he got rid of the stupid beard and barely perceivable moustache that he's got going on.
