i feel like maybe the banner is supposed to be funky?
i like it a lot. i think it’s hilarious, plus i love flamingos.
WTF- um, maybe it’s not fine for YOUR chestpiece. also, did you really just compare that to Devil Wears Prada?. the color “cyan” (or whatever it was) is not really comparable to this.

26 – agreed
words look shaped to fit the banner
banner looks designed to be held by the birds

WTF – Shhh.

I agree with you. Swallows and pretty much any traditional American tattoo designs have lasted because they transcend ‘fad’ and usually strike a chord with deep rooted human emotions, if the wearer realises this or not.
I was commenting on the stupidity of the ‘brown is the new black’ mentality.
Recently “X animal” is the new “Y animal that certain internet celebrity tattooer used once” has plagued tattooing and stunted genuine creativity.
I’m looking forward to a “Fuck Flamingos” bodysuit in about 6 months.
I would say 6 years, but I’m adapting Moore’s law to tattoo trends.
fireship:
It’s exactly comparable to cyan in that movie.
The wearer of the super shitty wonky ass flamingo tattoo believes that they are above what they see as a trend or tradition. In reality they chose a currently popular tattoo subject that actually weakened the mentality of bucking a trend.
2 squares with “fuck swallows” in the traditional placement would have said far more than a wonky ass piece of steaming horse (or flamingo) shit that contradicts itself.
Everybody has the right to have whatever they want tattooed on them.
If they submit that to an internet site or post it themselves on a publicly viewable internet blog, then everybody else has the right to laugh at the stupidity of the person (if not the tattoo).
It’s one of the fantastic prices of freedom.
Please continue to enjoy comedic, ironic shitty tattoos. There is nothing to see here…

wow WTF..you get picked on a lot as a kid or something? You need to find more constructive ways to vent your anger than getting all high and mighty on a body modification blog and throwing around a bunch of derogatory statements about a tattoo that was obviously meant as a joke. Lighten up.

Every time you read the word “kudos” on modblog, you know it’s going to be followed by some limp, sweaty handshake of a comment.

Of course I was bullied as a kid, that’s why I’m here and why I’m covered in tattoos. It’s it the same for many of us I presume. There was no anger in my posts, just dismay at yet another ugly tattoo being cooed at on modblog.
But it did move me enough to comment because of it’s self referential pseudo irony.
Jokes can be well executed and beautiful too, even bad ones.
Some of my tattoos are bad and because of that they are funny. I’m cool with with people verbally bashing them or my motivations.
If I wanted to act high and mighty, I’d be the internet regular who makes smarmy comments that ignore the current subject. Just like paleblue did.
See you at the next crappy tattoo post.

PS. My comment was in relation to “kudos on the social commentary” and therefore is relevant to the current subject. But I liked it when you called me “smarmy”. Mmmmm.

WTF – You seem to be in some form of indecision about whether you think this is a serious piece or a joke… Are you saying that you think it’s a joke and you are just vehement about thinking that he lacks comedic style?
Are you saying that you think that he is intent upon making it known that he is anti-traditional and has done so in a very trite way?
We may never know his intent but I cant help but think that the quality of the tattoo has irked you to a point where you felt like it just wasn’t good enough to bash the tattoo and needed to fight against both that and the concept.

this tattoo is on me. its not even close to being finished. the banner hasnt even been TOUCHED with any color. the background is going to be light blue and yellow rays coming from my implant and the birds need a rough run over. so go bash someone elses tattoo and go fuck yourself.

I have a pair of swallows and I think this is cute as shit. 😀
