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
That looks like a lighter and a spoon.
What does that make it, crack or heroin? I don't know much about this topic.
A spoon would make it heroin. You smoke crack out of a pipe just like meth. The tattoo is definitely a meth pipe though.
Thank you. I'll let you know if that into comes in handy someday!
Maybe just like warm spoons
Suddenly thought of salad fingers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWBFKL6H7rI
Thought so as well. But someone in here posted another photo where you can see that it's a pipe
It's definitely a meth pipe. A spoon wouldn't have a circle at the end.
Why is this being debated? Is one more socially acceptable than the other?
It's just something to talk about.
In that case, it's definitely a jenkem flute.
You know, I think you may be right.
Probably on meth when he had them done. He just warning people to stay away from him.
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 😅
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
