I..is that…a toenail clipping on the left?

Yes, and I believe that’s Medusa’s ovary on the right.

You sure it's not her head? (artist just forgot to slap a smiley on)

I did consider that, but I gave the artist credit for attempting to maintain perspective.

That’s bad perspective. Trust me.

It's the back of her head. Little did we know, Medusa was actually balding in the back. 😂

Cmon guys Medusa was cursed by the gods she shouldn't be laughed at. She's a victim, just like OP is for whoever gave them this

Pretty sure it's a tick..

Thanks now I can't unsee it :D

If the artist designed this around an actual tick it would be brilliant!

Because the artist doesn't know how to incorporate Lymes Disease.


I didn’t need to see that

Oh hell ✋naw. I just found one in between my shoulder blades and I live alone. :( 20 minutes of scraping my back with a back scratcher.

now i see a tick with that one horsehair worms comin out

Medusa’s ovary…spectacular

Medusa's Ovary would be an amazing all-woman punk band name.

I think it's one of these https://www.uterish.com/blog/dalkonshield

Wow that's giant compared to modern day IUDs. No wonder it caused scarring. I can't imagine getting that inserted! It makes me shudder just thinking about it.😖

Im a guy but i also said fuck that looks gigantic lol

I'm a guy, and my wife has an iud... and damn, I would rather get a vasectomy for the both of us if we didn't want another kid in a few years....

Thought it was a hairy mango.

A toenail clipping and an ovary in the process of being fertilized… this is what happens when you attempt to cram moronic symbolism into a tattoo.

I thought the ovary was more like a Malboro egg

Makes sense as a crab should weigh more than the toenail

Sir, that is a flea.

Maybe a tick.

Definitely a tick

We are obviously looking at a toenail and a top-down view of an octopus

Hairy egg weighs more than toe nail clipping. Very profound.

It’s a flea on the right, so I believe you’re correct. A toenail clipping and a flea, in scale pans held together by dotted lines showing their potential path. It’s like one of those journey comics from Family Circus.

Which is heavier: toenail clipping or burning egg?

I think those are worms coming out of the egg. Maybe a Xenomorph situation?

i’m fucking dead

😂😂 this just had me dying and I can't unsee it now

Lmao 😂 you’re right

OMG! 🤣

holy fuck. this is wild. she should maybe prioritize an optometry appointment before the next tattoo session lmfaoooo

Or go to the eye doctor

My favorite type of joke tbh

That's what an optometry appointment is

It’s a dad joke. Sorry, old guy here

It’s okay I laughed

I laughed too, I love that sort of humour.

I don't get it :(

The joke is self referential Whenever someone says the formal name for a practice, just going "or go to (layman's term for same thing)" is a good way to fuck with people. At least that's what I think the joke is.

My favorite types of jokes are the ones that other people have to explain. It makes it so much funnier. Also, you explained it very well.

I think you’re correct. That’s his I took it.

Its a dumb answer joke on purpose, like “he needs to take his car to the shop” other guy says “or go get his car fixed somewhere”

So all of those times I've stayed awake until 4am going "oh jesus christ I just repeated what Tom said at that party 10 years ago" people just thought I was making dad jokes?????

[удалено]

He probably just sighed and shook his head.

Same

Trolling the way God intended. Bravo

? I don't get it...

How, where is the punch ?

shaky lines, bad shading, dots are totally uneven and not spaced out well, on the sun?? the “rays” and uneven and a toddler could do better- sorry girl but you can do better 💋

Someone way above said toenail on the left. I say tick or bedbug on the right. So it's just a totally disgusting scale that only gets worse the more I look at it.

the toenail made me CACKLE and omg a tick.. i totally see it…

Omg that’s the sun!

I knew justice was blind, but I didn’t realize liberty shrugs

Justice is blind and so is this artist

And the wife

If she can't look at this and come to that conclusion herself, she isn't going to listen to us.

This is the best comment.

Why do they want to know the weight difference between a half eaten cookie and La La Loopsy doll head?

I would have gone with angelica pickles' doll, cynthia. lol

🤣 I can’t with these comments. I’m busting up

The arms of the scale are terrible, and not symmetrical, the sun should be circular, but I'm not convinced this scratcher knows what a circle is, i am not sure what they were going for with the "moon" and dude couldn't draw a straight line if his life depended on it. Solid 2/10 work, would fight the meth head who did this.

You're being extremely generous with that score.

It’s not infected and I’ve def seen worse so I feel like 2 is fitting

That's a good point. The absence of pus is a big plus.

>The absence of pus is a big plus. I think that's a rule that holds up well in most situations.

You know, you're absolutely right about that.

Ohhhhh…… it’s a sun and a moon?

I mean.... almost?

I got it… eventually. The moon is shaped like the light blue Lucky Charms cereal moon “charm” marshmallow. The sun is shaped like no sun I know of. It is an oval?? Not spherical like a sun or planet would be.

This tattoo is really bad. Technically and artistically.

Is that a Hairy egg

Your wife your problem

NTA your wife your rules

🚩🚩🚩 Get a prenup and tell the tattoo artist to divorce their partner

[удалено]

"That's really not that ba- * looks more closely * OH MY GOD"

This is exactly that. A tattoo that looks decent at first glance, but you see something else wrong every extra second you spend looking.

If it was on a coworker or acquaintance, I doubt I would ever look long enough to notice. A partner though, yeah what an eyesore.

Exactly my thoughts, though im never gonna judge a partner for a mildly shitty tattoo.

And not a single straight line was done that day…

I can’t decide if the scale is walking like an Egyptian or popping and locking.

Angelica from Rugrats wants Cynthia's head back.

Tell her to weigh out all of her options.

Is looking at this picture supposed to give me vertigo?

She thinks this is good??

the moon looks like a torn off toenail 😭

Jeebus.... take a close-up/ zoom in. The lines are shaky and crooked on such a basic design. If she's happy with it, so be it. You, me, and everyone else can take solace in the fact that we don't have that tattoo.

I don’t understand how you can have a picture placed right on your skin and the tattoo artist can’t even trace it cleanly. Like stop trying to tattoo if you can’t even trace a damn line 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ve been so angry about some of my own tattoos because of this. The stencil looked GREAT then somehow turned into a shit tattoo. Ugh..

Please convince your wife to find an artist. Not a “guy with a tattoo gun.”

Maybe you should talk to her instead of readdit?

Read the description: "She thinks the artist did a great job"

Hey wifey....please for the sake of all of us...please do some homework and find a better tattoo artist!! Unless you go back to this person and we can judge this crap again..

$200+ ?!? This isn’t worth an awkward no-eye-contact handjob.

Lmfao

🤣🤣🤣 love the concept. But the out come itself …. Oh come on. She can’t be needing convincing right ?! This is a shit post. It’s gotta be. No one looks at this and says “ NAILED IT!” 🤣🤣🤣

"Needled it" then? 🫣

If this tattoo doesn't convince her, nothing I say will change her mind.

Looks like she needs to WEIGH her options

Is that a tiny faceless Medusa head?

It's... abstract. That's for sure.

No I wanna see more shitty tattoos

It bothers me how different the plates are, with one being flat and the other being bowl-shapped.

Why is that croissant being weighed against Medusa’s head?

Is she a biologist? I'm thinking dendritic phagocyte on the right and a thrombocyte on the left

The artist definitely did a job.

Dear Lord, I got better tattoos than that stoned off my ass 25 years ago.

That looks like a tick on the right and a toenail on the left.

🎶 tick to the right ... toenail to the left ... stuck in the middle with you 🎶

The sun looks like a tick 🤢

You can change the artist but you're stuck with the woman who thinks this is art. :(

Good luck. Bad tattoo artists are like bad therapists.

I would try and convince your wife to have better ideas

That's really bad...convince her to get a cover up or something, and never go back to them

It’s not completely horrible, but if you’re going to get something permanent on your body- isn’t it better to get something great as opposed to “eh”? It’s easy to get caught up in the feeling of excitement. Maybe she likes this so much because of the style. With the joys of the internet and the search function, y’all should try to find an artist or two that does well in the style that she likes AND has great technical skill. If you zoom in on the details, you can clearly see technical mistakes that others have pointed out.

Cute design/concept in my opinion but that execution… yikes..

Why? Doesn’t a smelly egg weigh more than an apple slice?

Meh, easier to find a new wife

Tell her I puked seeing that

Wow, that's....really bad.

If THAT tat doesn't convince her NOTHING will!!!

You shouldn't give her such a hard time. There are not as many options for finding better artists in prison

Is this artist like a friend or something

Did they used to fuck or something? Why she like this shit?

People with bad tattoos that love their bad tattoos and think they’re simply the best tattoos are lucky imo. Don’t be a dick. Support your wife’s love of her bad tattoo. It’s not like the tattoo is hurting you.

If the title was got hammered last night with my friends and woke up with this id believe you, that's pretty convincing

So small. Why not just double the size and make it dexent

No way thats amazing. I never knew a toe nail clipping and a weird looking octopus weighed the same

I saw this and it made me fart.

This is terrible

uneven weight distribution on those scales. also the bottom of the moon scale clips it something awful. the left scale arm is longer than the right scale arm.. shitty freehand without proper thought or execution

Tick is more valuable than half crab claw? The Scales of Crustacean?

It’s actually Rick 

If your wife keeps going to this artist, you’ll have the white trash special

If she likes it…. Leave her tf alone lol it’s art. And it’s not even that bad

That motherfucker cannot draw for shit.

“Oh lawd” Can folks STOP getting these fuckin rinky dink tattoos?

Can I be the next tattoo artist? I’ve got a great follow up tattoo…. ` ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ `

Both sides of the scale aren’t close to the same shape or size. It never had a chance to properly weigh the melting moon and sun

Everything about this is a hot mess. The dots for the chain, the uneven arms on the scale, the tick vs the toenail. Why did the tick win?

Flaming egg out weighs the jagged toe nail every time.

Man, is there a "recently divorced" reddit sub, cause if you show her these comments, that may be your next sub, lol.

Is that an overgrown potato on the right?

A wise man once said "dragonfruit more heavy than broken nail"

Why does your wife like this artist? I see a very mediocre and uninteresting, uninspired sketch of a scale with little moon and sun that are poorly rendered, too small and laid into the skin in a way that lacks skill. Really lacking in artistry. Makes me curious about the artist as well.

This is bad, really bad. Artist and Art Director with 48 years of experience in graphic design field. This tattoo person has a gun but is not an artist. You will regret this.

The irony of the imbalanced scale on every single level like the arms aren’t even, why is the sun heavier than the moon? Is it because the moon isn’t full? I’m actually sick about this. Is this tattoo artist their best friend

¯\_(ツ)_/

It looks like something an Emo middle school girl would draw in her dollar store diary.

Dear sweet infant Jesus. What the fuck is going on here 🙃. Considering the artist is a baby spider monkey with a tattoo machine I guess it’s not the worst thing I’ve ever seen.

I can’t find any part of this tattoo that doesn’t have something wrong with it.

I’d be concerned there’s something else going on. Why else would you stick with this artist?

I'm laughing at how even yet uneven the ⚖ is 😂 😂 😂 😂

Why is the sun an oval?

That sun looks like sperm trying to penetrate an egg.

Stinky lemon weighs more than weird banana

Why is there a broken potato chip and a mutated sperm cell on a scale?

If being posted on r/shittytattoos and not immediately getting told it’s not shitty isn’t convincing enough, idk what is

If this tattoo hasn't convinced her then I really don't know what any of us could do

“Artist”

She’s not wrong. Crabs are heavier than thumb nails.

I dub this **The scales of what the fuckness**

Damn.. my 12yro has a steadier hand that this person. I would knock out something better in 15mins and tat it better is 30

A blood filled tick weighs more than a fungal toenail chunk. I think the artist did a great job.

If she’s not convinced after this tattoo there’s no convincing her

Dear OP’s wife: if you love it, great! But go to a much better artist next time. This one doesn’t have the skills you deserve.

The shaky lines are one thing but the entire piece being lopsided is another. The sun is awful to look at. Did the artist even use a template for this? This looks like a horrible doodle that they did to practice using a tattoo gun or something. Sheesh

Covid on the right huh

Lmfao. Get a new wife dude what

That bedbug is heavy

This is EXTREMELY dogshit. I'd be honestly pissed off if my partner got some dog ass shit like this lmao. Honestly I see things MUCH better come out of r/tattooscratchers than this. This is really bad, how much did she pay?

Is she sleeping w said artist !

Toenail clipping ^morty’s Rick

She’s spending her own money and it isn’t my business

yall paid 200 plus for that also huh, LOL she def needs a real artist

If that shitty tattoo won't do it, I don't think anything will

What’s this tattoo saying? The day is greater than the night? I’m confused.

The quarter moon weighs less than a tick?

Why is she blind?

I’ve seen worse. But this is still terrible

Does your wife think this is good? Maybe she shouldnt be getting tattoos…

Is the sun supposed to look like an egg?

This is god awful

He's shit

How is she not already convinced

Who wouldn't want a heavy Toenail and an Fire Egg forever LOL!!!!

Looks like a $5 tattoo. Does she think a 2 year old’s scribble is a monet level work of art too? 

Cute concept, terrible execution

Can you even call that guy an artist?
