What makes a tattoo dumb or in other words what are dumb tattoos?
This is a question begging to be asked and answered because I honestly believe a lot of people really do not know what the differences are between dumb tattoos and tattoo designs that are original, but different. A lot of times when people comment on someone else’s tattoo as being “dumb”, the tattoo in question or it’s location is not dumb at all but simply different than what the comment maker is comfortable with. In fact there are a few websites out there that are all about worst tattoos, dumb tattoos, bad tattoos but they all erroneously and slanderously lump truly badly rendered tattoos with well rendered tattoos , and truly bad tattoos with tattoos that are simply radical and different.
Sometimes there’s a fine line between dumb and awesome and many tattoos straddle the fence between the two extremes while other are obvious. A simple word of caution to everyone thinking of getting tat’d up is that if you want something people will see, then it is also the viewers right to have an opinion so don’t ever cry about hurt feelings.
Here is classic scary psycho fan that even Adolf Hitler and Ava Braun would have kept away from their daughter, may those to fuckers and their spawn burn in hell. Talk about taking things waaaay too far. Okay buddy we get it, you like swastikas, and swastikas, and swastikas…like we didn’t see from 50 ft away that you …liked swastikas.
No color as well. He obviously does not like color, any color at all except black, which is queer considering that he probably has a syndrome with anything black in general. Like why would he not have white ink tattoos?
This guy is one big cancer cell to humanity.
Why Do Colors Fade?
One of the biggest problems with permanent pigments is that the best ones are unsafe for use on humans. This leaves the the industry with just a few save alternatives. For the most part, very light fast and permanent colors are used. But this is not always the case. When it comes to yellow, purple, orange or magenta, the fade resistance is still not very high. The most common reason for fading colors is Ultraviolet Light, especially the light from the sun.
This does not mean once you get a tattoo you have to stay out of the sun forever. It’s just that excessive amounts of sun will fade tattoos. It fades about the same rate your skin degrades when exposing it to the sunlight too much.
Another factor is the application of the tattoo itself. I have noticed the more experienced an artist is the better he can apply the pigment correctly and the less it fades.
People often say their tattoo looks much older than it really is. All I can say to it is they probably exposed themselves too much to the sun, didn’t take care of it properly during the healing process or the artist simply did not apply the pigment correctly.
Your skin ages and with it the tattoo. That’s a fact and there is no way around it. If you want the tattoo to look good as long as possible take care of your skin and you will take care of your tattoo at the same time.
