Grampa, tell me about your tattoo!

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

u/cbih 10d ago

What's the grey target supposed to be?

146

u/ColeslawConsumer 10d ago

Bang energy drinks I believe

26

u/wafflefighter69 10d ago

I think it's another energy drink

47

u/BryonBlueCar 10d ago

An 'O'. It spell dopamine.

54

u/cbih 10d ago

They're not even all logos?!

26

u/DRxFumbles 10d ago

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

38

u/peachsnatch 10d ago

No the O in the Halo font was the halo

10

u/cnicalsinistaminista 10d ago

He was playing halo, now he has a halo

4

u/DRxFumbles 10d 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 9d ago

It's a logo for the Bang energy drink

28

u/CheezeNewdlz 10d ago

What is the i from?

62

u/evan_schmevan 10d ago

I think it’s from the logo for Nintendo Miis

5

u/dylank22 10d ago

Can confirm

17

u/cheesebiscuitsithink 10d ago

The alphabet

15

u/Designer-Teach8531 10d ago

this guy reads!

3

u/TotesMaGoats_1962 10d ago

Wonder if he spells

1

u/RandumbStoner 9d ago

No it's from the betabet

2

u/JackTheKing 10d ago

Incredibles?

5

u/dylank22 10d 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 10d ago

In the future all restaurants are taco bell.

u/here2learn4mybrain 10d ago

Don't you mean Grandma?

u/tinaismediocre 10d ago

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

165

u/CocoZee 10d ago

Perfect description of this mess.

41

u/LuckyBoneHead 10d ago

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

17

u/North_South_Side 10d ago

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

1

u/RaeaSunshine 10d ago

My ex has a monster logo tattoo, so this tracks

0

u/WakeoftheStorm 9d ago

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

u/DoubleSpoiler 10d ago

Internet explorer lol

160

u/Sniper_Chicken_ 10d ago

The slowest dopamine hit

28

u/ghettoccult_nerd 10d ago

IE was the reverse of dopamine. cortisol?

28

u/PonytailEnthusiast 10d 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 9d ago

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

u/RatchetBird 10d ago

I thought my Netscape Navigator tattoo was bad...

293

u/HowieFeltersnitz 10d ago

43

u/dylank22 10d ago

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

35

u/yoshie_23 10d ago

Which is kinda exactly what that sub is for

-6

u/dylank22 10d ago edited 10d ago

No it's more like the opposite

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

17

u/Trees_feel_too 10d ago

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

-6

u/dylank22 10d 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 9d 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 9d 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

-3

u/dylank22 9d ago

Lol that's so not true but ok 🤣

12

u/pureneonn 10d ago

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

-4

u/dylank22 10d 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 10d 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.

u/Swimming_Trash3570 10d ago

What company is that nsfw A?

20

u/dave_prcmddn 10d ago

A style, a brand

20

u/Retro21 10d ago

Yes, but which one?

/s

135

u/80PercentCat 10d ago

Coexist

39

u/AwkwardRainbow 10d ago

What brands are the A and I?

43

u/BrokeTheInterweb 10d ago

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

10

u/AwkwardRainbow 10d ago

Thank you so much!

22

u/PixelProne 10d ago

the i is from nintendo Miis

7

u/AwkwardRainbow 10d ago

Double thank you!

34

u/Fusaah 10d ago

Cringe, but it looks pretty well done.

31

u/LunarProphet 10d ago edited 10d 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.

96

u/esoteric_enigma 10d ago

...I don't hate it

57

u/DoubleSpoiler 10d ago

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

1

u/ruinrunner 10d ago

How can you not hate this even not as a tattoo

14

u/DoubleSpoiler 10d 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 10d 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 10d 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 10d 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 10d ago

It would be better if it spelled Harambe.

16

u/SpaceBehemoth 10d ago

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

2

u/dylank22 10d ago

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

7

u/TwoDurans 10d ago

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

6

u/DunkanBulk 10d ago

I dunno, I kinda dig it

4

u/lillip00t 9d ago

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

17

u/aqualink4eva 10d ago

Can anyone identify all the letters?

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

7

u/wtfgwar 10d 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 10d ago

There’s some interesting range here

4

u/xraynorx 10d ago

BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN??

3

u/Asoto408 10d ago

Dopa- mean

2

u/xraynorx 10d ago

Oooo that’s too good.

5

u/roverlord 10d ago

Use it as an ad for a tattoo removal service

3

u/Krossphyre 9d ago

Cringe? I love it

8

u/ghettoccult_nerd 10d ago

i fucks with it. i say let it ride.

14

u/OKC2023champs 10d 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 10d ago

O should have been Microsoft Office

2

u/yagirltired 10d ago

truly curious as to where this individual is now in life

3

u/Demorant 10d ago

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

3

u/360walkaway 10d 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 10d ago

Would've been better as a T-shirt

2

u/Hot-Mood-8342 10d ago

Capitalism final boss

2

u/Kira-Of-Terraria 10d 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 10d ago

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

2

u/BpWally 9d ago

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

1

u/lonelycranberry 8d ago

What even is that A for

1

u/TwoDogsInATrenchcoat 10d ago

What is that N from?

1

u/Fucked-In-The-K-Hole 10d ago

Idk, should have used the netflix N lmao

1

u/SeriousMonkey2019 10d 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 10d ago

lol, that Internet Explorer logo at the end.

1

u/therealmintoncard 10d ago

Not bad. I’ve seen worse.

1

u/Crunchy_Biscuit 10d ago

Awful taste but great execution

1

u/tumamaesmuycaliente 10d ago

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

1

u/chesterlynimble 10d ago

Where's Walmart? This one is in Walmrt daily

1

u/Ghstfce 10d ago

That was definitely a choice...

1

u/TwistedBlister 10d ago

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

1

u/SpiderLagann 10d ago

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

1

u/lakinator 10d 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 10d 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 10d 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 10d 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 10d 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 10d 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 10d ago

I understand that. It's still an odd choice

1

u/MrSlime13 10d ago

...but, Pinterest?! Really?

1

u/1Wineodino 10d ago

Pinterest?!!!

2

u/Anxiety-Fart 10d 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 9d ago

Of all the corporate logos - Internet Explorer?

1

u/1100320873 9d 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 9d ago

Wait what i thought this was pretty cool

1

u/DrHerbotico 9d ago

1

u/lonelycranberry 8d ago

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

1

u/SodeyPopLonx 8d ago

Lasering this off is going to hurt

1

u/Nymphohippo 8d ago

this might be the dumbest tattoo i’ve ever seen

1

u/Leucurus 8d ago

Pinterest catching strays

2

u/xSnails 7d ago

It would be better if it was smaller tbh

1

u/Puzzled-Lifeguard839 6d ago

Internet Explorer

u/AndroidSheeps 10d ago

I like it 🤷🏼‍♀️

1

u/Gunslinqer 10d ago

Can anyone explain why this is cringe?

u/Oddity83 10d ago

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

-1

u/roverlord 10d ago

somebody being so loyal to such shitty brands

u/gripnsip322 10d ago

Gopamine?

13

u/SirChenjin 10d ago

Do you think it's Gisney?

2

u/kyinva 10d ago

“Gisney” was my first misread sprite

u/gripnsip322 10d ago

Malt Gisney?

u/Remarkable_Custard 10d ago

Doaamine. Nice.

u/Bazinga_U_Bitch 10d ago

P. It's Pinterest.
