The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Now This Is Just Wrong


I’ll admit that I was totally surprised when the last tattoo by Josh Weir we featured on here—which, if you’ll recall, featured a lady’s nether-regions covered in splatters of blood and semen—was not only not frowned upon, but, um, was actually pretty widely enjoyed by our readers. Clearly, this emboldened Mr. Weir, because he has now checked in with this piece done on his friend Allen—who he calls “a fucking trooper”—which…is kind of grisly, right? Then again, I was expecting him to get raked over the coals over his last offering and it ended up being a huge success. As we’ve determined in the past, I have no idea how you, the readers, will respond to pieces like this; this could get 300 comments of fawning praise, or Weir could be drafted to fight Mike Beer to the death inside Thunderdome. Neither would surprise me, honestly.

    it kind of reminds me of a visual representation of some of the scenes in american psycho. Not crazy about this, concept-wise or execution-wise

    What the fuck has this got to do with Maori shit? I assume someone’s baiting Jon P by using his name to post again. This tattoo is shit. You could do anything that’s attempting to be offensive and if it’s shit, it’s still just shit.

    I fully agree with #7 and #8. While I very much dislike the content, putting that aside, the tattoo is still poorly done.

    I guess it could have been shocking if there was any realism to it, but it’s just so bad! People have already commented on the face and ladybits, but look at that left leg and foot! I would not want any ink done by Mr. Weir, regardless of the subject matter.

    If I let someone have free reign over my body with a tattoo machine, and they did that – I wouldn’t be impressed. And neither would I be their friend either..

    Then again. I’ve seen far worse.

    Although I understand and enjoy the fact that BME is no place for censorship, these “pieces of art” seem very, very unacceptable to me, just like e.g. racist/white power tats. What is the purpose of these tattoos? Getting attention, showing off your idiotsy side. or both?
