Tattoo Fails
 

Pretty self explanatory. Let's see some of the most ridiculous tattoo's that people have actually inked themselve's with.

Although personally I think it's the greatest tattoo I've ever seen.

I don't know Sam, I think this could give it a run for its money:

Also, fixed the grammar fail in the title of this thread. :)

Ugliest Tattoos - Funny Tattoos

Go hard.

ahhh, lol lucifer sam that white power unicorn is hilarious.
Here's one

I don't see any of these tattoos as failures.
Perhaps in another's eyes they can be but to the owners they metaphorical speak about the individual's paradigm.

A true aspect of what we consider Magick is the ability to manifest into the physical our Will and Intent. Tattoos achieve this in a purely symbolic, sigilistic, archetypal manner and are, as most Shamanistic practices, a Right of Passage which in and of itself creates Change in the Individual Psyche and eventually in the Material (Objective) World.

Aaah, neo-shamanism! How asinine.

I don't think your theory applies in most cases. A gaggle of sorority bimbos getting matching butterfly tattoos on their asses during a drunken Spring Break escape in Cabo is hardly a spiritual matter...

I would respectfully disagree with you.

Something tells me his pussy eating days are over.

:laughing:

Care to elaborate on that? :bonkhead:

Your post was hilarious. What more is there to say?

How about something intelligent, like why it was hilarious? This way it becomes something like a conversation.

I think you may be a comedic genius to come up with an act like this. Your dry wit puts even the master of deadpan humor Bob Newhart to shame! Hats off to you sir! Hats off! :laughing:

Anyway, before this thread gets hijacked too much with your shenanigans, I give you the worst Boston sports fan team tattoo of all time. Check out the paradigm on this guy:

I agree, your post was quite amusing. Mostly because it was incredibly pretentious. Also the grammar is pretty awful.

But more importantly, modern tattoos have absolutely nothing to do with (proper) shamanism. Yes they're personal, and when subject to the gaze of the "other" they can certainly affect changes in the social mileau. Some might even have metaphorical significance.

But in the vast majority of cases, they're certainly not "rites of passage", nor are they in any way "archetypal". And WTF is "sigilistic"?

Shamans are social actors - mediators between this world and the spirit world. Not everyone who gets a tattoo is a shaman, and not all shamans have tattoos.

Lastly, all this crap about "Magick" with a capital M and the added "k" to give it an iota of dignity - well, that just tosses all of your credibility out the window. The end, game over.

^That's actually kind of cool looking. I wouldn't want it on my face day in day out, but he somehow manages to pull it off.

I wasn't aware this was a game, but if indeed it is, you don't make the rules.

A sigil is usually made up of a complex combination of several specific symbols or geometric figures, each with a specific meaning or intent.

The 'K' in magick is used to differentiate between stage magic and as Crowley put it; "the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will".

Going through the process of choosing a tattoo, having it inked onto your body, and living with it, certainly is a form of "Rite of Passage" which is a ritual event that marks a person's progress from one status to another.

Shamans (whatever 'proper' has to do with it eludes me) are not "social actors" and are more than just "mediators between this world and the spirit world."

Is there anything else I can help you with? Grammar maybe? :thumb:

In honor of spelling normal words dumb ways:

Ok . . . that one fails! LOL . . . on multiple levels.

His intestines are showing.

In my opinion, all tattoos are fail tattoos. I'm not very old, but I'm old enough to recognize that tattoos are a permanent change to your body, and that your desires, wishes, feelings, and emotions change over time.

OK! I retract my statement . . . some people are obviously not in command of there physical being and are extremely stupid, base, and one step away from the Intelligent Ape

That's why I think I'd get something exceedingly simple. Well, that is if I ever get one.

Of course I would show you all my tattoos (along with my musiq) . . . but We (some of us) are not allowed to promote Our Self here.

If you run around the internet tossing off new-age jargon spiced with pretensive capitalization and spelling, then you really should expect to get some abrasive replies.

In the meantime, read a little less Terrence McKenna, Michael Harner and Aleister Crowley. Instead, maybe opt for something a bit more acedemic, like Gerardo Reichel-Dolmatoff, or perhaps some David Lewis-Williams...

Back on topic, here's a very introspective, personal, spiritual group of facial tattoos:

Besides the fact that you and others are posting false pics (they are facial & body texts not actual tattoos) please don't use the word pretensive because there isn't such a word (try pretentious) or acedemic (academic). :crazy:

Your understanding of what 'New Age' is and where I am coming from leaves much to be desired, understood and researched by yourself.
I have yet to read anything intelligent from you (only half-cocked Banter and pathetically aimed diatribes). Try a little harder next time, I know you have it in you! :soapbox:

If you have any hilarious tattoo fails that you'd like to share please feel free.

From Merriam-Webster:

Tattoo: An indelible mark or figure fixed upon the body by insertion of pigment under the skin or by production of scars

Hope this helps.

Tattoo body generator: tattoo generator - Google Search

Hope this helps :wavey:

Is this site not an appropriate place for Banter? Crap!

Nope, a church sign generator doesn't help in a tattoo thread.

Uhmmm . . . some of the tattoo pics are fake and are made with a tattoo generator program, just like the church sign generator makes fake church sign pics.

But anyway . . . do any here have tats?

Tell me more about this "tattoo generator program" and the many tattoos in this thread that come from it.

'The Smoking Gun' has an impressive collection of mugshot tattoos. Most, if not all of them, fall into the 'fail' category in my opinion. Anyone who's interested can check them out here...

Not sure What your trying to acomplish in coming into this thread to stir things up, Its supposed to be a fun thread, your spiritual thoughts on ink has no merrit in this thread, either add or move on please.

:rolleyes:

Anyway... no tattoo fail discussion is complete without the infamous Mr. Cool Ice:

lol. he's been online since i was a kid, and that was like 15 years ago. lulz

The only fail tattoos are the ones that people get because they thought it looked cool at the time. Not all tattoos are that way, I like people that gets tattoos and there is an interesting story to go with it. The ones I'm getting symbolize certain milestones in my life and I have a story for each one.

That tattoo is pretty full of win.
