I assume that the gnarly toenails are just discolored from the ink in this fresh toe tattoo done by Marc at Swastika Freakshop in Germany.

Having a tattoo put right above a putrid set of toenails is, in my mind, kinda like bothering to put on lipstick when you’ve got a huge glob of snot hanging from your nostril.

Fungal infection!! Most like from a damaged nail as #24 said. Ok, this is what you do. Collect all the crap from under that nail and all the cuttings of the nail and put them in a little specimen bottle. Bring it to your doctor so they can send it off to a lab. The lab people shall grow the fungi and develop a specific cure for it and wa la! Toenails of death are gone!
All that black crap is probably dirt that has been trapped under the hollow nail. UNLESS it really isnt a fungal infection, then IDK.

Nail polish maybe?

My dads toes have looked that ever since he was in vietnam. No matter how much we complain he SAYS it’s jungle rot and there isn’t anything that can be done about it. I think he just enjoys freaking us out with them.

Am currently trying handpoking tattooing, it’s f**king difficult at the best of times so nicely done to get it so well done on a toe.
Swastika tattoos always nice to see.
Manky toenails aren’t though. Ewwwwww

Feet make me squiky to begin with.. so really funky feet make me especially prone to shudders.. but the tattoos are so awesome that I can’t help but look. I just try to avoid looking directly at the toenails, kind of like how you avoid looking directly at the sun for fear of blindness.
The tats are super sweet. I love the design of the swastikas, it’s hard to see them at first unless you know they are there. Beautiful work.

He should really get that treated.
could be a fungal infection of some sort.

I deduce that the funkiness of his two toenails has something to do with the tattoos. His other toenails are just fine.

#27, that second toe looks just like a bruise, but i’m sure you’re right about that being fungal, yellow is not a natural toe colour. yuck. get that shit checked out. i sure hope the tattoo artist didnt get too close to that, even with gloves i’d still want to stay clear of that.

I would not put a fresh tattoo near an obviously infected set of toes.
