Bands, hobbies, sports, whatever.
Some things are just cooler than others. Plain and simple.
My love for video games? Not very cool, so I wont be getting a Zelda tattoo.
Someone having a thoughtful, beautiful, and meaningful memorial piece to commemorate someone who he/she lost? Pretty cool.
When it comes to bands and sports, things get really weird and or iffy when you start dealing with tattoos of logos. For instance, getting the:
Rolling Stones TOUNGE thing is different than getting "THE ROLLING STONES" tattooed on you.
Getting the:
Notre Dame fightin' Irish mascot is different than getting "NOTRE DAME" tattooed on you.
Initials are a toss up... kind of.
Either way, getting the name of something else, whether it's a brand, team, school, band, etc. is just kind of off to me?
Take for instance, these lovely internet findings:
Ok so here's an all around Danzig fan.
He's got the fiend skull (no beef, especially since I have one too)
He's got a recent Danzig logo (...jesus)
He's got eviliv9 (a Danzig affiliated record label)
And then we have... the word Danzig.
So fucked up right? I mean sure his named is Glenn Anzalone and not Danzig, but the font and tattoos surrounding the word are pretty obvious...
The Misfits, Samhain, and even Danzig logos are all comprehensible ideas for a tattoo.
But a band/someone's name? Wouldn't I look kind of silly with "JOHNNY CASH" tattooed down my for arm? Let's investigate a little further:
OK.
We have another "all-era" Danzig back "piece". (3 of them are definitely Danzig related, not sure about the top left one though)
Now it's not even really about what they got, but more, what the fuck were they thinking.
All of those, depending on your taste, could have been done in some way to look a lot better.
It's like the tattoo artist was standing 10 feet away, throwing a dart, and wherever the dart landed he/she tattooed.
Here's some more. And I'm not trying to pick on Danzig fans or anything, there was just a really really really bad tattoos section on one of the fan site.
I don't really feel the need to comment on them any more. Just look:
What do you think people say when they see those?
As kind-of-hot-as-it-is now, what do you think this bad boy will look like during and post pregnancy?
Because photoshop does...
just sayin
Now for sports!
Yeahhhhhh. Logo with name of a hockey team.
Unless you're a player on the team or maybe the owner of the team, OR you knew everyone on that team and they happened to die in some tragic way and the logo for the team was the most convenient memorial option, WHAT THE FUCK?
Granted certain organizations' fans, like White Sox fans, are at a disadvantage because the Logo IS the name of the team. But still...
The Beatles?
I could understand lyrics, portraits, album covers, even musical scoring, but "THE BEATLES?"
Here's a Bob Dylan portrait that says Dylan underneath it.
Wwwwwwwwwwwwhy?
Unless your name is Dylan, or you're related to Bob.
Are you going to forget who you have a portrait of?
The Zune? Microsoft's answer to the iPod?
I know this isn't going with what I'm saying, it should say "ZUNE", but there's just too much to be disappointed in on the internet.
Here's an example of how I think something should be.
This guy is one of the executive producers of Halo, so he has a Halo tattoo.
Yes, it's really bad, and yes it's weird, but it still makes more sense than beatles arm.
I tried looking for an example of any professional athlete with a tattoo of any team they ever played for, and I couldn't find one. But that was going to be my next example, since the 50 year old co-founder of Bungie software isn't a very concrete elaboration.
So that's all I have to say about superfans and their super-fanatical tattoos.
Obviously tattoos are a personal choi.. blah blah blah.
Whatever, stop being fucking dumb world.
PS:
Dude is just a superfan of himself.

... holy shit there's a back piece:
