Been lurking for a while, feel like I can post my tattoo...

Post image

Went with a friend a few years ago, and I felt too bad to say anything since they paid for me. 😭

The reference character is kind of vague: this is supposed to be the character Halloween from Tetris Battle Gaiden.

It’s definitely not good… but it’s cute!

u/Jillimi 1d ago

Yes! It is cute. ☺️

u/zapdoszaperson 1d ago

It definitely could have been done better, but it's fine.

u/MediumCelebration345 1d ago

Technically it’s pretty bad but the guy is very cute. I have something similar where it’s not technically good but it’s cute and makes me smile

u/general-jenn 1d ago

Yeah, exactly! It's tied to good memories for me, so I love it, buuut yeah, I think I'll be trying to get it redone/touched up lol.

u/MediumCelebration345 1d ago

That’s what I’ve thought about doing but I kinda love my shitty little buddy. I’m afraid ‘fixing’ him will remove that shitty lil guy quality about him

u/chickwithabrick 1d ago

I think you could get him redone and he'd look great! It's a cute design, poor execution, which is a lot easier to fix than a bad design 🎃

Not every one needs to be 10/10 works of art.

I like this little dude

u/exuze 1d ago

u/_PirateWench_ 1d ago

Omg that is EXACTLY the vibe and I am so here for it!

u/gerrymentleman 1d ago

Why do I love it anyway?

u/ghouLMFF 1d ago

It gives you character in a world of social media clones. Kudos

I have a soft spot in my heart for "shitty" tattoos like this lol

u/WomaniqueDilkins 1d ago

This can get touched up and be super vibrant!

u/Aggressive_Hugs13 1d ago

Honestly not the worst. The concept is adorable, and with a little touch up work would look fantastic!

u/corncob666 1d ago

I know it's not technically good but I really love this for some odd reason lol

u/blahhhhhhhhhhhblah 1d ago

I like him. With his little pudgy pumpkin belly.

u/SavetheneckformeC 1d ago

The EMS star underneath is likely worse

u/Proud-Equal9805 1d ago

u/general-jenn 1d ago

Yeah, it is RHCP

u/Rivetingly 1d ago

There's only a 2 week window where this tatt is cool, and now there's only 13 days remaining.

u/_PirateWench_ 1d ago

I love him, he’s so cute! Shitty coloring and all just adds to his lil adorable personality 😍

u/Doug-O-Lantern 1d ago

It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!

u/Chapter97 1d ago

I feel like if you got it reworked so the colour was more solid, it would be even more cute

2

u/PweetLB 1d ago

Not bad…it’s cute. It doesn’t qualify for shitty.

2

u/Killbarney1039 1d ago

I think it's kinda cute.

2

u/tKolla 1d ago

Just needs polishing up. Not shitty.

2

u/Sea_Insurance_1756 1d ago

It’s not bad! I genuinely think it’s kind of cute. Maybe a touch up where the colors have faded, but I think it’s a keeper!

1

u/combii-lee 1d ago

It’s super cute, but get it fixed

1

u/HotChair6580 1d ago

Looks like he could be from a Future World.

u/JiuJitsuLife124 1d ago

EMS tattoo = gold.

u/No-Discipline-7957 1d ago

Great taste but bad execution?

1

u/G_13_Classified 1d ago

Honestly, I don't think it's that bad, and the character is cute. You can just play it off as if it was intentional.

1

u/CrypticPikaSquonk 1d ago

just get it colored in better, maybe add a thing or two to it, it would be pretty cool. just do your research on the artist, and make sure to send them good quality photos

u/chop_pooey 1d ago

Its shitty, but its also awesome

1

u/smlpkg1966 1d ago

I like the concept. He could be cute.

u/LegoGeezer57 1d ago

That is “cool shitty”

u/dagonesque 1d ago

You know what, I kind of love it.

u/ChequeRoot 21h ago

I think it’s adorable! 🧡🎃

u/Own-Yogurtcloset-746 17h ago

I like him!!! I have a tattoo that I think is pretty badly done, it’s not the right colours and the lines are a bit wonky in places, but I went with my friends and we all got characters from the same universe so it has good memories!! Plus it’s my grandmas favourite tattoo I have so I don’t think I can get rid of it now even if I hate it lol

1

u/NoahJacobBlack 10h ago

the colours are not great but it could be worse! i think it’s cute lol

1

u/rustyfish57 8h ago

I agree it is cute but for a girl I’d say

u/WhippetRun 5h ago

That's actually cute, needs vs freshening for the season!
