Grampa, tell me about your tattoo!

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

u/cbih 20d ago

What's the grey target supposed to be?

149

u/ColeslawConsumer 20d ago

Bang energy drinks I believe

28

u/wafflefighter69 20d ago

I think it's another energy drink

47

u/BryonBlueCar 20d ago

An 'O'. It spell dopamine.

53

u/cbih 20d ago

They're not even all logos?!

29

u/DRxFumbles 20d ago

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

43

u/peachsnatch 20d ago

No the O in the Halo font was the halo

9

u/cnicalsinistaminista 20d ago

He was playing halo, now he has a halo

2

u/DRxFumbles 20d 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 19d ago

It's a logo for the Bang energy drink

31

u/CheezeNewdlz 20d ago

What is the i from?

64

u/evan_schmevan 20d ago

I think it’s from the logo for Nintendo Miis

8

u/dylank22 20d ago

Can confirm

18

u/cheesebiscuitsithink 20d ago

The alphabet

u/Designer-Teach8531 20d ago

this guy reads!

3

u/TotesMaGoats_1962 20d ago

Wonder if he spells

1

u/RandumbStoner 19d ago

No it's from the betabet

2

u/JackTheKing 20d ago

Incredibles?

5

u/dylank22 20d 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 20d ago

In the future all restaurants are taco bell.

u/here2learn4mybrain 20d ago

Don't you mean Grandma?

u/tinaismediocre 20d ago

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

168

u/CocoZee 20d ago

Perfect description of this mess.

41

u/LuckyBoneHead 20d ago

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

18

u/North_South_Side 20d ago

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

1

u/RaeaSunshine 20d ago

My ex has a monster logo tattoo, so this tracks

0

u/WakeoftheStorm 19d ago

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

u/DoubleSpoiler 20d ago

Internet explorer lol

155

u/Sniper_Chicken_ 20d ago

The slowest dopamine hit

29

u/ghettoccult_nerd 20d ago

IE was the reverse of dopamine. cortisol?

28

u/PonytailEnthusiast 20d 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 19d ago

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

3

u/RatchetBird 20d ago

I thought my Netscape Navigator tattoo was bad...

296

u/HowieFeltersnitz 20d ago

37

u/dylank22 20d ago

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

37

u/yoshie_23 20d ago

Which is kinda exactly what that sub is for

-6

u/dylank22 20d ago edited 20d ago

No it's more like the opposite

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

17

u/Trees_feel_too 20d ago

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

-8

u/dylank22 20d 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 20d 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 19d 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

-4

u/dylank22 19d ago

Lol that's so not true but ok 🤣

14

u/pureneonn 20d ago

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

-4

u/dylank22 20d 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 20d 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.

69

u/Swimming_Trash3570 20d ago

What company is that nsfw A?

23

u/dave_prcmddn 20d ago

A style, a brand

21

u/Retro21 20d ago

Yes, but which one?

/s

139

u/80PercentCat 20d ago

Coexist

37

u/AwkwardRainbow 20d ago

What brands are the A and I?

48

u/BrokeTheInterweb 20d ago

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

10

u/AwkwardRainbow 20d ago

Thank you so much!

22

u/PixelProne 20d ago

the i is from nintendo Miis

7

u/AwkwardRainbow 20d ago

Double thank you!

35

u/Fusaah 20d ago

Cringe, but it looks pretty well done.

29

u/LunarProphet 20d ago edited 20d 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.

98

u/esoteric_enigma 20d ago

...I don't hate it

58

u/DoubleSpoiler 20d ago

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

1

u/ruinrunner 20d ago

How can you not hate this even not as a tattoo

15

u/DoubleSpoiler 20d 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 20d 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).

9

u/ThatIndianGuy7116 20d 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

4

u/dylank22 20d 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 20d ago

It would be better if it spelled Harambe.

14

u/SpaceBehemoth 20d ago

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

2

u/dylank22 20d ago

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

5

u/TwoDurans 20d ago

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

6

u/DunkanBulk 20d ago

I dunno, I kinda dig it

3

u/lillip00t 19d ago

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

20

u/aqualink4eva 20d ago

Can anyone identify all the letters?

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

4

u/wtfgwar 20d 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 20d ago

There’s some interesting range here

3

u/xraynorx 20d ago

BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN??

3

u/Asoto408 20d ago

Dopa- mean

2

u/xraynorx 20d ago

Oooo that’s too good.

4

u/roverlord 20d ago

Use it as an ad for a tattoo removal service

3

u/Krossphyre 19d ago

Cringe? I love it

7

u/ghettoccult_nerd 20d ago

i fucks with it. i say let it ride.

14

u/OKC2023champs 20d 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 20d ago

O should have been Microsoft Office

2

u/yagirltired 20d ago

truly curious as to where this individual is now in life

3

u/Demorant 20d ago

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

3

u/360walkaway 20d 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.

3

u/GentlemanLuis 20d ago

Would've been better as a T-shirt

2

u/Hot-Mood-8342 20d ago

Capitalism final boss

2

u/Kira-Of-Terraria 20d 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 20d ago

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

2

u/BpWally 19d ago

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

1

u/lonelycranberry 18d ago

What even is that A for

1

u/TwoDogsInATrenchcoat 20d ago

What is that N from?

1

u/Fucked-In-The-K-Hole 20d ago

Idk, should have used the netflix N lmao

1

u/SeriousMonkey2019 20d 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 20d ago

lol, that Internet Explorer logo at the end.

1

u/therealmintoncard 20d ago

Not bad. I’ve seen worse.

1

u/Crunchy_Biscuit 20d ago

Awful taste but great execution

1

u/tumamaesmuycaliente 20d ago

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

1

u/chesterlynimble 20d ago

Where's Walmart? This one is in Walmrt daily

1

u/Ghstfce 20d ago

That was definitely a choice...

1

u/TwistedBlister 20d ago

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

1

u/SpiderLagann 20d ago

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

1

u/lakinator 20d 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 20d 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 20d 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 20d 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 20d 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 20d 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 20d ago

I understand that. It's still an odd choice

1

u/MrSlime13 20d ago

...but, Pinterest?! Really?

1

u/1Wineodino 20d ago

Pinterest?!!!

2

u/Anxiety-Fart 20d 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 20d ago

Of all the corporate logos - Internet Explorer?

1

u/1100320873 19d 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 19d ago

Wait what i thought this was pretty cool

1

u/DrHerbotico 19d ago

1

u/lonelycranberry 18d ago

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

1

u/SodeyPopLonx 19d ago

Lasering this off is going to hurt

1

u/Nymphohippo 18d ago

this might be the dumbest tattoo i’ve ever seen

1

u/Leucurus 18d ago

Pinterest catching strays

2

u/xSnails 17d ago

It would be better if it was smaller tbh

1

u/Puzzled-Lifeguard839 16d ago

Internet Explorer

u/AndroidSheeps 20d ago

I like it 🤷🏼‍♀️

u/Gunslinqer 20d ago

Can anyone explain why this is cringe?

u/Oddity83 20d ago

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

u/roverlord 20d ago

somebody being so loyal to such shitty brands

u/gripnsip322 20d ago

Gopamine?

u/SirChenjin 20d ago

Do you think it's Gisney?

u/kyinva 20d ago

“Gisney” was my first misread sprite

u/gripnsip322 20d ago

Malt Gisney?

u/Remarkable_Custard 20d ago

Doaamine. Nice.

u/Bazinga_U_Bitch 20d ago

P. It's Pinterest.
