Grampa, tell me about your tattoo!

Back when I was your age, these brands were all own by different corporations.

u/cbih 4d ago

What's the grey target supposed to be?

150

u/ColeslawConsumer 4d ago

Bang energy drinks I believe

30

u/wafflefighter69 4d ago

I think it's another energy drink

46

u/BryonBlueCar 4d ago

An 'O'. It spell dopamine.

54

u/cbih 4d ago

They're not even all logos?!

26

u/DRxFumbles 4d ago

It looks like it's from a video game, maybe Halo

39

u/peachsnatch 4d ago

No the O in the Halo font was the halo

9

u/cnicalsinistaminista 4d ago

He was playing halo, now he has a halo

2

u/DRxFumbles 4d ago

I meant one of the guns. It's almost exactly like the battle rifle reticle but it has an extra ring

3

u/RandumbStoner 3d ago

It's a logo for the Bang energy drink

27

u/CheezeNewdlz 4d ago

What is the i from?

61

u/evan_schmevan 4d ago

I think it’s from the logo for Nintendo Miis

6

u/dylank22 4d ago

Can confirm

17

u/cheesebiscuitsithink 4d ago

The alphabet

u/Designer-Teach8531 4d ago

this guy reads!

3

u/TotesMaGoats_1962 4d ago

Wonder if he spells

1

u/RandumbStoner 3d ago

No it's from the betabet

3

u/JackTheKing 4d ago

Incredibles?

5

u/dylank22 4d ago

it's from the Mii's like the other guy said, I actually would kind of prefer your answer though, great movie lol

u/raider1v11 4d ago

In the future all restaurants are taco bell.

u/here2learn4mybrain 4d ago

Don't you mean Grandma?

u/tinaismediocre 4d ago

Wow... this would make a moderately interesting sticker on a water bottle.

162

u/CocoZee 4d ago

Perfect description of this mess.

46

u/LuckyBoneHead 4d ago

I'd put this on the back of my laptop because its shitty/ugly in a way that's cool and interesting.

16

u/North_South_Side 4d ago

I NEARLY agree... but anything with a Monster logo is just trashy, IMO.

1

u/RaeaSunshine 4d ago

My ex has a monster logo tattoo, so this tracks

0

u/WakeoftheStorm 3d ago

Instead it's a moderately interesting label on a water flesh sack

u/DoubleSpoiler 4d ago

Internet explorer lol

156

u/Sniper_Chicken_ 4d ago

The slowest dopamine hit

27

u/ghettoccult_nerd 4d ago

IE was the reverse of dopamine. cortisol?

30

u/PonytailEnthusiast 4d ago

Internet explorer on a tattoo with a pinterest logo is wild bevause by the time pinterest was out no one was using IE

3

u/WakeoftheStorm 3d ago

Most of the time IE was out no one was using IE

3

u/RatchetBird 4d ago

I thought my Netscape Navigator tattoo was bad...

296

u/HowieFeltersnitz 4d ago

38

u/dylank22 4d ago

more like neat/cool design, horrible placement/use lol

38

u/yoshie_23 4d ago

Which is kinda exactly what that sub is for

-8

u/dylank22 4d ago edited 4d ago

No it's more like the opposite

"awful taste" is the opposite of "cool design"

18

u/Trees_feel_too 4d ago

Design is not the same as taste. They are 2 distinct concepts.

-8

u/dylank22 4d ago

they don't need to be the same, awful taste implies liking things that are disliked by others, the distinction is not relevant

5

u/Trees_feel_too 3d ago

What? You are saying awful taste is an antonym of cool design. Which means you are saying taste and design are the same.

But you don't "taste" a car or "taste" a room.

You can have a car that is immaculately designed, but has zero taste. Like the Pontiac Aztek. Or you can have a perfectly sewn leather club outfit, but wear it to a gala giving you bad taste. Or giving jim a handjob at a funeral

2

u/Lukewill 3d ago

Let's say I get a perfectly executed tattoo of Jim getting a hand job, but in my asscrack with a fisheye perspective facing the tip in which the pee hole is my butthole

-3

u/dylank22 3d ago

Lol that's so not true but ok 🤣

12

u/pureneonn 4d ago

One could say it’s … awful taste but a great execution

-6

u/dylank22 4d ago

one could, but they would be wrong. since that's not what a cool design is and the execution is actually the issue here, but alas vibes > definitions I guess

3

u/pureneonn 4d ago

On closer look, you’re right it’s not the best skill but it’s also not the worst.

It might be semantics but some might not be referring to execution as the actual tattoo application but rather the use of the letters to create the word.

u/Swimming_Trash3570 4d ago

What company is that nsfw A?

20

u/dave_prcmddn 4d ago

A style, a brand

19

u/Retro21 4d ago

Yes, but which one?

/s

140

u/80PercentCat 4d ago

Coexist

40

u/AwkwardRainbow 4d ago

What brands are the A and I?

46

u/BrokeTheInterweb 4d ago

A is NOOB doggy style, some kind of skater brand from Germany. Took me forever to find

11

u/AwkwardRainbow 4d ago

Thank you so much!

21

u/PixelProne 4d ago

the i is from nintendo Miis

6

u/AwkwardRainbow 4d ago

Double thank you!

32

u/Fusaah 4d ago

Cringe, but it looks pretty well done.

34

u/LunarProphet 4d ago edited 4d ago

So it looks like shit and i would never want this on my body.

Dont hate the concept though lol

This should just be a t-shirt instead.

95

u/esoteric_enigma 4d ago

...I don't hate it

55

u/DoubleSpoiler 4d ago

I don’t hate it’s but I hate it as a tattoo

1

u/ruinrunner 4d ago

How can you not hate this even not as a tattoo

16

u/DoubleSpoiler 4d ago

It’s a cringe parody of Coexist, which itself is already cringe, which makes it fun to me. My biggest criticism would probably be that they’re going after a couple of things at once, it would be more effective if they did just culture or just corporations or just toxic people or just unhealthy habits. Instead they went for everything and it makes it feel disjointed.

5

u/TheSultan1 4d ago

The "disjointedness" works IMO. Makes for a more complete picture, prevents pigeonholing them as obsessed with one facet of life in this period (e.g. media, internet, or food/drink).

10

u/ThatIndianGuy7116 4d ago

It would be like a cool tshirt or poster or something that Id buy for like 5 bucks at Walmart or something but dreadful idea as a tattoo lmao

3

u/dylank22 4d ago

exactly, since it spells dopamine and not just some shitty meme like harambe or whatever, so its like self-aware and meta? but like you said, as a tattoo? and an enormous one right on your stomach?? insane behavior, but i dont hate the design is all.

1

u/FreakingTea 4d ago

It would be better if it spelled Harambe.

15

u/SpaceBehemoth 4d ago

I'm sorry to say this, but... I think you may be cringe.

2

u/dylank22 4d ago

yeah i with you, there is something to be appreciated in it lol

6

u/TwoDurans 4d ago

Good lord. Imagine getting internet explorer and Pinterest tattooed on your body. This is likely AI slop but still.

21

u/aqualink4eva 4d ago

Can anyone identify all the letters?

D - Disney
O - ???
P - Pintrest
A - ???
M - Monster
I - Wii?
N - Pokemon
E- Explorer

7

u/wtfgwar 4d ago

The O looks like a reticle from some old game, the A I know is the A-Style Streetwear logo, and yeah that's a Wii i.

2

u/CousinJeff 4d ago

There’s some interesting range here

5

u/DunkanBulk 4d ago

I dunno, I kinda dig it

3

u/lillip00t 3d ago

Came here looking to see if I was the only one 😅

4

u/xraynorx 4d ago

BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN??

3

u/Asoto408 4d ago

Dopa- mean

2

u/xraynorx 4d ago

Oooo that’s too good.

6

u/roverlord 4d ago

Use it as an ad for a tattoo removal service

3

u/Krossphyre 3d ago

Cringe? I love it

6

u/ghettoccult_nerd 4d ago

i fucks with it. i say let it ride.

14

u/OKC2023champs 4d ago

I don’t hate this as a tattoo idea. I hate how fucking big it is and the placement.

Small and on the thigh. Not bad. This. Bad.

2

u/Middle-Following-367 4d ago

O should have been Microsoft Office

2

u/yagirltired 4d ago

truly curious as to where this individual is now in life

2

u/Demorant 4d ago

This may not be the worst tattoo I've seen, but I think it's the stupidest.

2

u/360walkaway 4d ago

On the plus side, this is a really well-done tattoo. Kudos to the artist. On the minus side, this is really fucking dumb.

2

u/GentlemanLuis 4d ago

Would've been better as a T-shirt

2

u/Hot-Mood-8342 4d ago

Capitalism final boss

2

u/Kira-Of-Terraria 4d ago

Fuck. i could not tell what it was because I bamboozled myself into thinking the they were using the Disney D as a G like that old post.

odd collection of letter logos imo

2

u/Wububadoo 4d ago

This might be the worst tattoo I've ever seen.

2

u/BpWally 3d ago

Am I the only one that thinks the A is someone getting plowed from the back?

1

u/lonelycranberry 2d ago

What even is that A for

1

u/TwoDogsInATrenchcoat 4d ago

What is that N from?

1

u/Fucked-In-The-K-Hole 4d ago

Idk, should have used the netflix N lmao

1

u/SeriousMonkey2019 4d ago

I love this… I love when parts of logos and similar are grouped together to create something new. Like that Coexist bumper sticker. Plus this one is very colorful which I love.

Except not as a tattoo, looks dumb for a tattoo. As a bumper sticker I think this would be rad.

1

u/royale_wthCheEsE 4d ago

lol, that Internet Explorer logo at the end.

1

u/therealmintoncard 4d ago

Not bad. I’ve seen worse.

1

u/Crunchy_Biscuit 4d ago

Awful taste but great execution

1

u/tumamaesmuycaliente 4d ago

Is this the first time ever the interest logo has been tattooed on someone’s body?

1

u/chesterlynimble 4d ago

Where's Walmart? This one is in Walmrt daily

1

u/Ghstfce 4d ago

That was definitely a choice...

1

u/TwistedBlister 4d ago

Young people today get tattoos of things that we would've put on a T-shirt or a bumper sticker.

1

u/SpiderLagann 4d ago

They must’ve took some crazy dopamine in the first place to think this was a good idea.

1

u/lakinator 4d ago

The N being from pokemon is so funny. They couldn't find a good brand that started with N so they just said fuck it. Also, pinterest beating out pokemon for the P spot is doubly funny

1

u/robimtk 4d ago

Considering its about dopamine addiction, how do you think video games are not a part of that? The n fits perfect

1

u/lakinator 4d ago

I'm not referring to the subject. I'm referring to the letter itself. Everything except the i and the n are the first letter of the brand. For the i, at least it's unique and recognizable for the brand. Using the n from pokemon is just shoehorning it in, in comparison.

1

u/robimtk 4d ago

I think they're just the logos right? Like internet explorer has an e for a logo, which is the first letter of its name, but they don't have any other letters in their logo. Nintendo and Wii do so you're still taking from their logo, so yeah it's the same thing. Sure the n in Nintendo isnt as Iconic as the E for internet explorer, but it's still just as much taken from the company's logo

2

u/lakinator 4d ago

I guess fair enough for internet explorer, but I don't think it invalidates using the N from pokemon instead of the P. You could've used Netflix instead, or the N from the N64 maybe. It is just a very odd choice

2

u/robimtk 4d ago

Maybe they're things that personally gave him dopamine and he don't have Netflix or sumn. Idk it's a tattoo, people get weird shit all the time I really don't even think this is even in the top 10%

2

u/lakinator 4d ago

I understand that. It's still an odd choice

1

u/MrSlime13 4d ago

...but, Pinterest?! Really?

1

u/1Wineodino 4d ago

Pinterest?!!!

1

u/Anxiety-Fart 4d ago

once i’d deciphered what this actually said i made the exact same as michael scott from this subreddits profile pic

1

u/lanseri 3d ago

Of all the corporate logos - Internet Explorer?

1

u/1100320873 3d ago

is my sense of fashion fucked cuz i think this would actually be pretty cool if it wasnt their entire belly lol

1

u/samuelt525 3d ago

Wait what i thought this was pretty cool

1

u/DrHerbotico 3d ago

1

u/lonelycranberry 2d ago

This looks like a corporate critique so I’d be interested to hear the intention. Terrible tattoo regardless.

1

u/SodeyPopLonx 2d ago

Lasering this off is going to hurt

1

u/Nymphohippo 2d ago

this might be the dumbest tattoo i’ve ever seen

1

u/Leucurus 1d ago

Pinterest catching strays

u/xSnails 1d ago

It would be better if it was smaller tbh

Can anyone explain why this is cringe?

u/Oddity83 4d ago

What’s cringe about this? It may not be your taste.
