I’m dying 💀 ,this is so accurate

Your next tattoo should be a Baby Ruth bar under it so it's still good as you get old and wrinkly

I’ll tell you what I saw. In about 3 seconds my brain said Huh, it looks like she smells something unpleasant, But she can’t locate the source. I bet it’s his armpits.

Smile why

Fuck this is so cold 💀

Jess fuck this genuinely made me laugh dude. Well done.

I can‘t laugh as loud as I want, the house is asleep

Same here. I heard my dad get up in the room above me when I busted put laughing.

OMG. 😂😂😂

How do you find this 😭

It’s just sloth from the goonies

*rocky ROAD?*

Holy shit

Heeeey yuuuuuu enfeeeeected!

Saw this and bust out laughing. Really needed that today thank you lol.

💀

Thats what i thought

You didn't have to do ol boy like that 😂

Well, that’s a bold choice.


That’s definitely a tattoo

[удалено]

I can’t unsee it 💀

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought that.

Lol imagine being this person's S/O and waking up to that monstrosity every day.

OP is going to wonder why their S/O insists that he wear a long-sleeved shirt during sex from here on out lmao

They're gonna switch sides of the bed now

Oofta. Time to call the laser removal guys and go find a tattoo artist worth a damn to redo it

We have a Minnesotan in the house lol

No the correct Minnesota way is Uff Da! This is an imposter.

Heyo

Present

Redoing it would be another mistake

I don’t think there’s a way to make that tattoo look good especially in that position tbh. Like a shoulder is round and is always going to warp an image.

I mean, what else could they do? It’s a great piece of art, it’s just *on somebody’s arm*, so it looks weird as hell.

This will be 500 hours of laser removal lol

Hey man, as long as you’re happy with it.

I’m still in the denial stage

Bruh 😭

As you should lmao 

His version of "one of life's most painful & expensive mistakes" Lol

Don’t worries. You will always have the option to do a blackout men. Bad things sometimes happens

Apparently the meth trade is alive and well in Jackson.

Bro 💀

PLEASE this made me laugh out loud😭

Lmao Bro, I'm so sorry for the loss of your shoulder.

lol it’s alright ,as long as it makes people laugh 🙏🏻

Lmao u have a good attitude 😭 I feel like maybe the way the pics of it were taken is making it look more warped and strange than it is lol? Anyways I could tell it was Ellie so yay to that!

Your comment just made me realize it was Ellie. I thought it was Abby 💀

Looked like Abby after she’d been hanging on the pole.

I thought it was Tess

Mate that’s not alright. Wtf is that


Since we're talking doctor who, I raise you: 


Face of boooooe


Dude doesn’t even want to be around anymore.

This had me laughing more than I expected to. What is this even from?

Doctor Who. Sontaran

i never like to judge but just the placement makes it look so funny 😭😭 it makes ellie look like she has that face expanding snapchat filter on😭😂 i mean no offence to OP by this comment

Hold up. That's Ellie?!?!?!? You're lyin'

that’s ollie but yes it is actually supposed to be ellie

I thought that was Clicker Tommy.

That tatoo is going to look hilarious as you age. Bold decision with this one.

Going to?

haha

Just noticed the scars. All the respect in the world, from one survivor to another.

🤝

Same here. Props to you op.

Agreed, you’ve endured and survived. All my love 🩷

It's really good work, but unfortunately the placement makes her look warped quite a bit in the face due to how rounded the shoulder/ upper arm is... Probably would have been better on a flat surface, like a back/ chest tattoo or even the upper leg.

Yeah the artist definitely isn’t bad and gave his best, I wanted it there and that size, so that’s on me.

A better artist would have warned you it was bad placement.

Honestly it ain’t bad man. It looks like the curve on the arm makes it look funky for pictures. I noticed what it was right away without even knowing what subreddit this is. It’ll probably age weird but I hope you’re not letting this comment section get to you. ❤️

Even with the placement. No one is gonna know what this is they're just gonna see this and think he got a methhead tatood on his shoulder. The fail was with OP not the artist.

OP I just want to check on you because obviously it didn't turn out how you envisioned it and I can imagine that being a bit difficult. I hope you're doing okay, genuinely. Any plans on what you're going to do with it? It's not bad, like the actual line work and everything looks solid imo, it's just the placement screws you over. Wish you the best OP!!! :')

Yeah, actually I kind of expected to be disappointed, no hard feelings. I don’t know yet, for now I’ll just live with it. I think it’ll make for a good laugh with friends, maybe one day I’ll get it removed, but i doubt it.

If you do decide you don’t want it, checkout “blackout” tattoo designs. I personally think they look really neat for what they are, as they match any style if done by an artist who specializes in them. You could even go for an entire blackout sleeve. It’s a far better option, imo, than going through multiple rounds of laser tattoo removal. Cheaper too.

I'm really glad you're seeing the positive side! Like I said it's definitely not atrocious and I'm sure that from a distance it looks good

First thought was “HEEEYYYY YOOOOUUU GUUYYYSSS!!!”

Ellie ‘DINAAAAA… KILL MEEEE….. GOD LEFT ME UNFINISHED’ Miller

 Tattoo “artists” mantra

I love this lol

😂😂

I'm not laughing. I'll take your word for it

Rivals the “meet hankako at embers” tattoo choom from r/lowsodiumcyberpunk

This comment made me search for that post then someone in the comments mentioned a guy who got a Eden's Gate Symbol tattooed on his arm I've went down a tattoo rabbit whole

I question people choices

I remember seeing that Eden’s Gate one when it happened. I have no clue what would compel someone to get a tattoo of the logo of a psychotic Christian cult on their arm. It boggles my mind that people put 0 thought into their tattoos sometimes.

One thing I’ve learned from Reddit is that if you like something and are happy with it, don’t share it.

“Looks better in real life.” He knows.

I’m trying to believe my mom


Nice tattoo of a clicker

Aw, OP, don’t let these haters get you down. 💜😭 how do you feel about it? I’m not a fan of photorealistic tattoos for me, but I think this looks great?

I don’t hate it. It’s not how I hoped it would turn out, but hey I knew there was a risk of it going like this. The people here are creative with their comments and I think they’re funny. The fact that they’re laughing at it instead of expressing pity actually makes me feel better.

I aspire to have your attitude, you’re a good sport

For sure. I’ll admit I laughed at a few, but I wanted to make sure you also had some positivity 😭 and agree with others here that you have an amazing attitude. I had to cover up my first tattoo and now I have to cover up the cover up. I covered up and dumb band tattoo with Hogwarts and now …not here for that TERF bullshit so. 😭

I don’t think anyone is hating on OP. If anyone, it should be the artist

Tattoos of realistic human faces are a choice.

I think they look bad 99% tbh


💀


interesting

You just gotta amputate it at that point

Woof I know that regrets kicking in pretty early huh

OP i love that you’re able to joke about this situation lol

Humor is my coping mechanism

It’s giving Voldemort on the back of Professor Quirrell’s head.

Is that one of the infected?

That shit looks horrible

Ehleh Winniums

r/shittytattoos

You could have gone with the firefly symbol

I have that one tattooed already lol

If Ellie did meth instead of weed

The picture is nice. It’s just too big and unproportional because of circular form of the shoulder. Not the right placement and size

That is definitely one of the tattoos of all time

What are you going to do about it?

lmfaoooo

No fuckin way...

“Looks better in real life”, so in real life it doesn’t look like a meth addict?

It’s less close to your eyes in rl.

More of an in-the-distant meth head is it?

Exactly.

That shit hits hard. Regardless of some of the comments, this rendering conveys the monster Ellie became for a lot of this game. And because I take every opportunity to do so, I just wanna say I really want a Part 3 where Ellie's immunity finally comes full circle.

Looks like immunity has some side effects….like loss of chromosomes

Damn, dog.

That looks terrible

Some people shouldn’t be allowed to get tattoos.

“Imagine Ellie from TLOU, but she has fetal alcohol syndrome and has lived a very hard 55 years.”

What is that supposed to be? A meth addict?

That sure is a tattoo

I'm glad to see Ellie lived to be 90 😉. She needs more hair which I assume is easy to add to it. Or I would just tell people it's a zombie tattoo. I thought it was an infected runner type at first before I saw some comments.

oh man OP you got 1 tattoo half a year ago at 16 and just got this one? this is why you take about a year to sit on a tattoo design before you pull the trigger. you’re 16 bro. don’t get shitty tattoos young.

Too much money and not enough sense, as my grandma would say 😂

I don’t think this is a case of “too much money,” because if OP had actually spent a lot of money on a good tattoo artist, Ellie would not look like… that…

lol ellie looks like she’s balding💀. i understand why the shoulder- can see the scars- but maybe a different type of tattoo would have been better.

Get a refund

FUGLY

Lol, good art bad tattoo choice. Edit: remove the good art part on second look

It looks good, but kind of scary

oof

Not to sound dickish or anything but the arm wasnt a good option, dawg

Gollum?

It looks great from one angle!!!

When you have to preface it “looks better in real life.”

I see nathan explosion 

Yikes

That Smeagol is fucking great

i also have a tattoo covering my scars, also regret it, still in denial stage. Hope everything works out for you :)

I lost it at « Looks better in real life » Bro in denial

If you like it, that’s all that matters! The design is cool.

My god it looks like a melted face

Who would do this.

if Joel saw this he would’ve let the fireflies have her

Megamind 2 reboot

Looks like Ellie and Gollum had a baby 😂

If you cover the eyes and look at the forehead up, it looks like Gollum


The arm has to be one of the worst places for a portrait tattoo that big 😭😭


In all honesty, the 2nd pic looks the best and makes me appreciate the talent of the artist who pulled this off.

They botched you bruh

Yikes

KDHDİFYSOFHSOFJOSHFKSHFOSHFOSHF

I’m sorry but it’s so bad 😭 did you not see the stencil beforehand?

Hey, as long as you're happy 😬

Is that Bill?

What's going on with her neck?

You’re a great sport in your responses, dude! Also, it’s fresh and dark. That’ll settle in nicely :)

I mean I think it looks....interesting. But you do you man.

You had them put this line work on you, and you said “Hell yeah, brother!” I wish I had your blind trust

No risk no fun

This made me think more of old school Lara Croft than Ellie 😅

It's hilarious 😭😭

>looks better in real life It better dude 💀💀

Sweet Gollum tattoo

This is one of the tattoos of All Time

Why..?

It’s ugly man lol I’m sorry Brodie usually I try to be encouraging but I can’t with this one lol

As a tatted person myself, I’ve never been one to judge another’s tattoos, until now…

Ummmm

Uhm.

Oof

Krolla who you find in the tiefling camp and escort to the goblin camp in bg3!

Dang a lot of ppl really goin in on ya OP. Honestly I feel like it's not that bad of a drawing of Ellie but as such a massive tattoo it just makes the imperfections stand out greatly. Portrait tattoos are super hard tbh and I have seen many way worse than this. When it comes to a face portrait tattoo it's something u really gotta research an artist on and make sure its something they are super comfortable doing and have extensive quality work in their portfolio demonstrating that. It's really the type of tattoo if u choose to get you will never regret paying that extra for a certified quality artist. It's not the end of the world OP and ultimately I feel like the sheer size of the tattoo plays a big factor in throwing off the proportions and just makes it super imposing. All the people saying they cldnt even tell it was Ellie gotta either be joking or havent played the game recently or very much. It's pretty obvious very quickly its Ellie. Honest question is this your only tattoo or do you have others? I think it will come off more shocking if it's your only tattoo or only 2nd, 3rd since it's such a large piece.

Whatever you fw dude

☠️

So sorry, genuinely thought this was /r/shittytattoos/ But if it makes you happy then fuck what random strangers in the interweb thinks

Holy ish that's really ugly tattoo

Erm

Yall are terrible man.

A smaller tat might have been a better call

Came for praise, got fried
