What is it?

What is it meant to be?

Noobs!

I've never seen a tattoo of noobs before.

Should've had it done on your moobs.

Is it purgatory?

[s]were you[/s]was the person who did it pissed?

😆

Sorry if thats a bit harsh...

Or possibly ground control

Ground control?

It’s a patio......

It is not easy to draw straight lines in prison.

Can we help to colour it in?

8 Casio watches, side by side?

Was the "artist" pissed?

Hmm. Execution/application not good. Not at all. But if your happy with it then all that's all that matters.

What Tyre for my Arm?

Might be ok when It's finished.

Well whatever, someone was pissed!

Ground control +1.

It'll wash off before it gets finished

were you pissed?

Or just a bit tyred?

Is it something to do with spoons?

Please tell us the ground control references isn't to do with the tyre? That's not meant to be tyre tread on you, it can't be, can it? 😕

He asked for a Minion.

Lol. Never miss a chance to flame, you lot.

🙄

I think... the single most very essentially important thing about any tattoo is that it is meaningful to the erm, wearer. Then there is, that it is original and that the wearer is happy with something that is on them FOREVER.
So, for the reasons of originality, it's a high scorer. Meaningful, only Al can judge. What other people think should be a very low priority. Same for what it "is".
(I have no tattoos.)

Nope. Tattoos don't have to be meaningful.

(I have lots of tattoos)

But I agree that what other people think doesn't matter, and so long is the wearer is happy then all is groovy.

I hope this is a wind up.

Yeah they need to have deep meaning...

Thats why mine is a baby velociraptor from Jurassic park 😀 😆

As long as you like it **** what anyone else thinks is the best attitude

But I agree that what other people think doesn't matter, and so long is the wearer is happy then all is groovy.

I'd prefer it if someone looked at mine & said, 'dunno what it is, but it looks good', rather than, 'WTF is that?

As long as you like it **** what anyone else thinks is the best attitude

That is where I am coming from.

The flaming says everything about the posters...

Why did you start your initial post with "Hope you like" then?

Yeah don't be a tatt OP , I've got some shite tattoos too 😀 and I'd expect a flaming if I put them on here . But I love them though, couldn't care less what others think! One question though, when your arms are by your side do the logos line up with your valve?

You should know better than to start a tattoo thread here 🙂

Did you consider some shading as well?

Edit: the photo would be better the right way up but I can't work out how to do that on my phone

Is it tubeless? Looks a bit flat to me.

Op still hasn't confirmed what it is. I like it's simplicity though.

Teaboard, thanks.

I like it!

Shading is a possibility Rik.

It's not straight cos my thigh isn't.

What's that then? You've had numerous goes at me, never understood why, I've given you plenty of helpful advice.

Why did you start your initial post with "Hope you like" then?

Did I say "I really want to hear if you don't, or don't have a clue"?

Oh and jekyl it's a Specialized Ground Control, there were few other tyres in the late 80s

What did you expect?

I travel all over Europe specifically to get tattooed by certain people. I have a clue.

I didn't actually criticise your design by the way, I just noted that the technical application was poor. I can explain further if you wish.

The actual concept for the tattoo is fun.

your what? your thigh?

is that not a forearm?

Should we start a "judge my tattoo" thread? sounds like fun

Nope. Tattoos don't have to be meaningful.

(I have lots of tattoos)

That's why I don't have any then. Cos I would have to have something meaningful. They're so personal though, it's down to whoever has em. I mean, I can't for the life of me understand getting a tattoo that you can't see yourself (eg. on your back)! Then surely you are just getting them for other people to see ... Maybe. Nah, I can't pretend to understand...

..and the OP says everything about the OP. (-:

Here, hands off my left-handed smileys.

Should we start a "judge my tattoo" thread? sounds like fun

That's usually how it goes.

I rather like it, FWIW.

Took a few seconds to parse the image, I quite like it, it has significance to the person who has it, and I’ve seen very, very much worse.
I’ve got some, they may be to some people’s taste, they may not, but I couldn’t give a shit what others think, they have significance to me.

I like it. It does have a free hand quality about it but I don’t think that’s a bad thing at all. I sometimes get a bit bored with generic shading and much prefer one offs.

bit of support for you Al.
i too am the owner of some daft tatts. it was a right of passage when i was a youth.

Is it a drawing of one of Bobby George's bracelets?

hear is mine, only one I have do your worst.

I does have a meaning to me but also I just think it looks cool 😉

hear is mine, only one I have do your worst.

"Here." HTH.

(-:

Thanks wiggles, I feel a whole lot better 🙂

Is it 2 continues rows of settees with coffee tables in the middle ?

It does have a free hand quality about it

Yup but seems intentional to me.

I like that Al.If it was all exact and shaded it would just look shit.

I really don't get it, but each to their own and all that.

your what? your thigh?

is that not a forearm?

I thought that too!

Personally,i like the naivety of it though.

That said,i recently said too my son, "be original, don't have any tattoos."

Not my thing (tatts)but they do no-one any harm do they?

Live and let live.

I'm sorry, I genuinely cant tell what it is meant to be other than a kind of 'bracelet' design of sorts.

If it is meant to be a tyre, I cant get its perspective, there are knobblies all over the side, top, everywhere...

Who cares though, its your body, your tattoo, if you think its good that's all that matters.

it's a Specialized Ground Control, there were few other tyres in the late 80s

I like the idea. A tyre track down the back of the calf could be cool. It probably looks better in the flesh the photo probably doesn't do it justice.

My thighs would need 29er tyres!!

Inexact...I drew that on a PC (MS Paint, obvs), the tattooist hand-drew one initially that was way different. Maybe a daytime pic will do it justice.

What Tyres for thighs?

That’s sorted now.

26" x 1.95" 😯
Whatever were you thinking?

I quite like it, bit different n all.

Anyway, that's not a bad tat. I know bad tats. I won the worst tattoo contest at SSUK '13, so I know what I'm on about 🙂

Well I quite like it.

Would have gone for Minion myself, but it's a cool distinctive tread pattern. I don't see what all the grumbling is about, plenty of people have horrible tattoos, this is more original and interesting.

I don't see what all the grumbling is about, plenty of people have horrible tattoos

Hmm, what I [i]meant[/i] was that most tattoos are rubbish, and that one's somewhere between inoffensive and mildly interesting.

What I do wonder is how many regret the genetic tribal tattoos that were all the rage?

If I were to have a tat it would be a one off like the OP's.

genetic tribal tattoos

I blame the parents

Damnit! 😀

That's your thigh? You have very skinny thighs, are you eating enough 🙂

Thank's for clearing up what it was, that was really bugging me.

Have always fancied a tat, somewhere only I can see but i will never make my mind up what i'd like to see every day.

Hope it keeps making you smile for many years to come.
