A MacGyver tattoo?
Alex C:
I guess it depends on where you want to draw the line between being a decent draftsman and being a good artist. To harp on the first tattoo again, I see that thing and I figure there's nothing stopping that guy from being a good tattoo artist from a hand-eye coordination perspective. The lines are clean, and he made as rock solid of a circle as you can ask for with the text. Love or hate the style of the shading, its too deliberate and too good of an example of its type to write off as being a hack job. Basically, it's a perfectly competent crappy tattoo. I've seen sloppier artists do tattoos that are much, much more interesting, but I have a hard time crapping on the craftsmanship.

I was there was a better picture of it so you could see that it's not as scratchy as you are probably assuming. And none of those are that poorly done. I mean, honestly, can't you guys separate poor quality vs poor content?

i guess all the people i know just have really insanely awesome tattoos. it really isn't the content, those just look like bland tattoos compared to what i'm used to seeing.

Man, I don't know if you are doing this on purpose or if it's just how I'm reading your posts, but do you think you can post without talking down to us? I mean, maybe familiarize yourself with the tattoo thread.
a pack of wolves:
It's not just you, that's a pretty smug way for someone to admit they know sod all about tattoos. I seriously doubt it's true anyway. Nobody who knows a lot of people with tattoos only knows people with exclusively good tattoos. There are always plenty of people with some shit tattoos, tattoos they got at a friend's house when they were drunk or from a really shite tattooist when they were 17, even if the majority of their work is great. If everyone you know only has awesome tattoos that means you only know about two people with any work done anyway.
tricia kidd:
i'm not talking down to anyone, i'm just saying that i honestly know a lot of people with tattoos and almost all of them are amazing.
now granted i know a lot of people who don't have any tattoos. the people i know who have tattoos got them very very deliberately. of course i've seen people at shows or hanging around with mediocre tats, i just mean that out of my actual friends, the ones that have tattoos have good tattoos.
here let me find an example.
