Jack seems like the type of guy to get a permanent tattoo of that stick figure jumping on a trampoline on his hand
I could absolutely see him doing that-
I want that lol
Mario on a trampoline be like:
Yahoo! Yahoo! Yahoo! Yahoo!(Repeats)
when I’m on left I’m gonna get a tattoo of a husky on a trampoline.
He's like that one awesome adult (yes, just one) that always gives the gift of awesome Reddit posts.
To be fair the medusa eyes one looked pretty decent. idk what they saw wrong with it.
i think its pretty cool actually 😭😭
The shading isn't super great. Like, it's certainly not the worst out there, but they probably expected something super clean and perfectly shaded
shading, bad and uneven eyes, very shaky line work
@@kiiturii ahhh fair, i didn't notice that much
@@darkunykorn404yeah same but it still looks really good
i got my first tattoo about 3 weeks ago, and i loved how it turned out. watching this video makes me feel absolutely relieved i got a guy who could do it right!
Dude I just decided to get one and this video popped up and I -
I have a little fact about Medusa tattoos that I would like to share, many women and men get Medusa tattoos as a symbol that they are a survivor of r@pe, this is mainly because one story of how Medusa came to be is that Poseidon r@ped her and she was a worshipper of Athena who is a goddess of purity and her worshippers have to take a vow of celibacy, now there are two different versions of what happens next one is that Athena turned Medusa into what she is so she could protect herself from any more men that try to hurt her, and the other version is that Athena didn't believe that she was forced against her will and believed she broke her vow and made her into the monster she is as punishment. That is why many women get Medusa tattoos.
Edit: didn't think to add men to the category so I edited and made sure to add it because their trauma of r@pe is just as valid as the women that have gone through it.
I knew the part of her being a symbol for survivors but the rest is new to me. I was already planning on getting a Medusa tattoo but this makes me want to get it immediately.
Neither of those stories is healthy for anyone to want to represent, though. I mean, becoming a murderer is obviously not good, whether it's as a "compensation" for something bad that happened, or as a punishment for when someone else thinks you lied. I mean, honestly, I hope folks who are dealing with trauma find healthy ways to represent themselves and their stories, rather than something like this.
@@thewiseturtle yeah, many people see Medusa as evil but many times, such as Hades, they're mostly misunderstood. Usually the men or people that Medusa turns to stone are people hunting her or just have dark intentions, I mean what normal person goes looking for a woman who turns people to stone unless they're trying to use her power for themselves? But I digress this is also a mythical being we're talking about. There are many different stories that have different versions of myths, I mean in many stories she wasn't a human, some stories say that either Hera or Aphrodite was jealous of how beautiful Medusa was and then turned her into a monster so no man could love her. But I understand where you're coming from and I get what you're saying.
@@Sapphire3759 yeah I'm very into Greek mythology and do a lot of studying on the different myths and the different versions of them. Also being a survivor myself I want to get one too.
Edit: also LOVE the profile pic, Suga is an absolute icon 💜
@@thewiseturtle let me start off with you can have your opinions and we cand agree to disagree.
That's fine. But please consider this before judging a survivor on their coping mechanisms.
1. A lot of survivor see Medusa as strong, powerful and someone who wasn't afraid to fight back.
2. Geting a tattoo that reminds the survivor they too can be strong and take back their power is a lot healthier than other coping mechanisms. As a survivor i can vouch for all the unhealthy coping mechanism that are so easy to fall into. So choosing to do something healthier takes a lot of willpower and persistence.
Even if you disagree with the "meaning" (every tattoo has a different meaning), one tattoo is a healthier alternative to other less healthy coping mechanism.
I’d like to point out that picky clients exist and it’s usually artists that are picky so half of these are the clients saying don’t alter a single detail and then getting mad and taking it out on the tattoo artist because they realized their own artwork is shmut. The tattoo artist literally shows you what they’re going to put on your body, there’s no way in heck anyone can say anything bad when they’re the ones approving the sketch.
To be fair, when the linework is shaky or when the shading is whack its usually their fault.
honestly some of these didn't even look bad, I don't understand.
@@microwave7093 the giraffe one and the eye of ra one didn’t look bad. I didn’t sit through the whole thing because I had to go to work, but I agree some of them didn’t look bad at all. I think they we’re making fun of the eye of ra because they have no clue the cultural significance of Egyptian amulets.
@@plastiqueneurosis It was more the shit uncoloured dna strand underneath that wasn’t centred and didn’t blend well with the eye of horus tattoo imo. Still, the horus tattoo had flaws. Chiefly being one piece of the design being disconnected where it shouldn’t. I’ll give the, the benefit of the doubt and day it was part of the style but if they’d just slightly angled the line coming down from the eye differently it would have been more readable and less like a floating triangle.
Most of these had shoddy line work or shading. It wasn’t necessarily about the design.
It can be either, or both, the tattoist and/or the client. My worst tattoo happened because I had thin lineart someone drew for me, and I pushed the tattoist to do it when he didn't want to (because I thought it was a simple tattoo to do), and then he used a pretty thick needle, so it just looks all blobby now. So it was both of us who were responsible. He should have been firm that he didn't want to do it if he didn't want to do it. And he absolutely shouldn't have used a thick liner (the stencil looked ok as far as I was concerned). And I should have found someone else when he said he didn't want to do it.
8:46 That exists, it's literally called practice skin. Some artists/students will also practice on things like pig skin but that's falling out of style for obvious reasons.
fake skin is another name for it. and practicing on oranges too! With an orange you can practice depth, peel the orange and if it has no ink underneath, your depth is good
"She's beauty, she's grace, she looks like a thumb with a face".🤣
Well, it's genious.
to the ppl who got the medusa tattoo, stay strong...
for those who dont know
the Medusa tattoo is what ppl who have gotten s/a get
but ik its not every persons case cause medusa is just cool
@Bob Moles
S*xually a*saulted, I think
Jesus, that got dark fast…
Kinda feel bad for these people they now have something bad on their body that is hard to get rid of because it is very painful
It’s especially bad when the tattoo idea was good but the artist messed up.
I genuinely love the judgy impossible giraffe. 😂 It's a bit crappy but kind of cute. Not sure I'd want it as a tattoo but I don't hate it.
Like, it looks *almost* like you could pass it off as an impossible giraffe
Speaking of tattoos my biggest fear is getting one while blackout drink and waking up the next day

If you know you know
I just thought I should point out that a Medusa tattoo is a symbol for survivors of sexual assault
Just saying, Medusa tattoos are actually tattoos that represent SA Survivors.
What?
@@Sebastian-Draegon sexual assault survivors. people who were raped, basically
@@Sebastian-Draegon look it up sebastian
That is interesting. Thank you for the knowledge
i feel so bad for these people
it must be such a horrible existence for the people on this subreddit
Why? It's funny. Don't take life so seriously that you can't laugh at ridiculous stuff.
@@thewiseturtle its still funny but for these people its probably a serious insecurity that they have about themselves
@@beanisntavailable Nah. People who get tattoos rarely care what other people think of them.
@@thewiseturtle good point
I do 3D faces, they're horrible, yet clients say they're perfect, family says I'm too negative on my skills... I think I can relate with these tattoo "artists".
As an artist, the reason why everyone can't get the hands right is because hands are really difficult to draw: especially in perspective. They're complex and people can easily tell if you mucked it up.
Yeah you always need to check the work of the artist. Make sure they can do what you want and if you can find an artist who specialises in the style you want
I am so happy to have finally found a tattoo artist who's amazing with animal tattooes since that's the only thing I'm getting. I waited 15 years to find the right one to do my Loch Ness monster and it was so worth it. Now I always book a new appointment before I leave his studio from getting the latest tattoo. He's the greatest.
What does it say about me that a ton of these tattoos seem totally fine/normal? For several I'm just having a really hard time finding anything to criticize.
Same, tattoos are hard and people can want some pretty interesting things, heck even the uneven lines can be consistent
@@alexiszielinski1690 idk, I just sometimes can’t tell if they were done badly or it was just terrible taste on the part of the tattoo getter
I agree. I'm honestly not real picky with most of these. Like; the client chose what they wanted. I see the hand of a very detailed artist in many of them but executed in a manner not all people might like. But it's up to them.
nah, looking at a compilation you just got used this standard. Look up some actual cool tattoos made by professionals and you'll see how bad all these are, main things being shading and linework, I don't think any one of these got those right
Me too. Maybe I'm just not well versed in tattoos
Okay but the Medusa tattoos signify mostly being rape or sexual assault survivors 😭
just say sexual assault rape = sa
@rat man i meant it the other way around. rape = a form of sexual assault so there is no point of saying both when you can just say one. its like saying i hate orange juice and juice.
People get Medusa tattoos usually to symbolize being a victim of SA. If the tattoo itself is bad it’s ok to poke fun at it but just take better care next time.
Never heard of that before. Learning something new every day.
i was about to comment this myself i felt very uncomfortable but i did doubt he knew
I don't think anyone is getting Medusa to symbolize being a victim. A survivor, yes.
What I've heard is she's seen as a protector (especially from men or evil), she symbolizes strength and power and overcoming the trauma. /lh
@@Sapphire3759 my point still stands and the part you chose to pick apart doesn’t change it
@@cklounge2096 I wasn't disagreeing with the be careful of criticism towards these types to tattoos. Sorry I didn't make that fully clear
Also I wasn't trying to "pick apart" anything.
I'm an apprentice tattoo artist and Im scheduled to make my first tattoo on a human canvas this weekend ... I just hope this video isn't a bad omen 😭
I know it doesn't mean much coming from a stranger, but I'm sure you'll do great!
The Medusa ones have a really upsetting reason behind them tbh so careful looking into things folks! Know the history of certain things before you get a tattoo too
My dad got a tattoo around a year ago of 6 snowman running from a snow goon (based on Calvin and Hobbes) and each had something special about them. Mine had headphones made out of sticks and my sister had a dinosaur tail just as 2 examples
12:03 I forgot about beyblades... My childhood is flashing before my eyes.
This is why one of the only tattoos I'd ever consider is just something bizarre and abstract, no logic what so ever.
Like a tattoo that says 2+2 = Tacos to confuse people.
Now I want tacos.
This unironically needs to be a tattoo, a t-shirt slogan, a political platform, and a religion.
Hey. Random fact. SA survivors get tattoos of Medusa. Its based on one of the other stories where she was Assaulted.
It was a trend among people in my grandparents age to tattoo their eyebrows. So everytime you look at them, you would see this turquoise skin under their eyebrows.
Do you mind sharing where this was a trend?
@@marlyd i think she was still in California at the time
My grandmother has green eyeliner *tattooed* on her *eyelids*
That's definitely still a thing but it's better done now lol
These all look like they were done by people still learning to art. Like some of them aren’t too bad but still not good enough to permanently put on someone’s body.
I have mixed feelings on "bad tattoos" as some can be intentionally bad, depending on the circumstances., but make sense when you hear the reasoning. Some examples are the drawings of children who've passed away, tattooed on their parents.
4:22 Fun fact, the Short Faced Kangaroo which went extinct 18000 years ago had only 1 toe on each foot
Horses also only have one toe! Alternatively, new theories suggest that they actually have five toes that merge in utero.
This is why any tattoo I get it either a design my artist made herself or it’s something I found/somebody else’s work & just have her add her own style into the piece.
"Medusa seems to be a theme here" JACK. Jack, champ, buddy- it's got a meaning
15:03 That's supposed to be an angel, resting her forehead on her arms. The dark curly lines are hair, apparently. The shapes on the sides are the wings.
My god, that thumbnail is worthy of a Letsgameitout thumbnail!
Jack, Medusa's hair isn't what turns you into stone. It's meeting Her Gaze. Looking into her eyes. Sorry Jack, you're just wrong here.
Biggest fear is my tattoo becoming blurry over time
Then don't get a tattoo. They will always get blurry, as your body has an immune system. It just doesn't work well in this one tiny layer of the skin, so it takes many decades to really start working on removing the ink particles.
Those poor people who got Medusa tattoos... if someone gets a Medusa tattoo they mot like got SA'D
The last image is an angel crying with her head pressed into her arms. The weird leg-like lines are hair
standard plates are 45lbs or 20kg. Bro was implying that he works out, not that he can only lift 45
1:24 "Notice how the front leg is in front of the back leg?" No, but I notice the one where their plant died actually probably like chili a lot if they were friends with the wolf one from earlier. See, that wolf was probably bringing chili.
1:27 "Notice how one of the front legs looks like it's in front of the back legs?" -Jack 2023
the bad thing is...they DO make stuff like skin that you can practice doing tattoos on. so...
Always remember, think about first before you get.
Last one looks like an angel burying their face in their arms. Very badly done.
How are these people still able to work if their tattoo work needs improvement?! But y’all are awesome EmKay 🎉❤ Y’all rock!
Fell asleep with this on. Jack is definitely my favorite narrator
There are definitely things tattoo artists can practice on, pig skin is pretty common, and I'm fairly sure there's a silicone option. No reusable but also not someone's body.
11:03 I was playing splatoon and thought you were referencing that before I realised that made no sense
13:49 - This is John Mulaney’s “birthday sign” bit in a nutshell tbh
This subreddit is exactly why fake skin exists
7:50 You'd be shocked too, if somebody punched you so hard you now look like a Moomin.
9:35 Bad enough they're mixing Anubis and the eye of Horus, but where did the clock with *moving hands* and *Roman numerals* come from?
The d&d dragon was great excluding the foot
POV: You don’t know what the Medusa tattoo symbolises
"Design some sort of canvas material akin to skin" that already exists and is very commonly used by tattoo artist for practice. I'm not a tattoo artist nor do I know any but I do at least know about fake skin.
I’m so glad my tattoo artist is good at drawing. The bad looking tattoos are due to shitty reference pics 😂 the apprentice at the same studio does really good black/white work and linework!
9:35 Dude: I want a Stargate tattoo it's my favorite show and I love Anubis, and Egyptian symbols!
Tattoo Artist: I got you fam! I'm also really good at clocks!
*Ah yes, there really is a subreddit for everything.*
0:48
I thought that you had to look into her eyes to be petrefied
Me too. Isn't that why her own gaze into a mirrored surface petrified her?
That's right. I wonder if the confusion comes from Wednesday where the gorgons (?) have to cover their hair, not their eyes.
i guess it is her eyes ? so the snakes are just to be more terrifying?
the last one looks like a girl with her arms crossed and her head down, with angel wings behind her or smt
It wasn’t medusas hair, it was her face
Some of these aren’t too bad, especially if these are beginning tattooists but hey, practice never hurt anyone.
1:10 i dont know why but this reminded me of "self reliance" if you know you know XD
15:05 two bird butts stitched together in xen from half-life
why does nobody ever look at the other comments before writing their own.. every youtube video always has one or two identical comments that get repeated over and over
This one has like 35 comments explaining the same thing 😑
If I had a nickel for every video that had 'lightning Mcqueen here!' I'd have 2 nickels... which isn't a lot but its weird that it happened twice
That one butterfly probably was in black because the client didn't want color. I have 2 moths and they're black, simply because other colors fade way easier.
Ok, the last one, I think, is supposed to be an angel, with her head down on her forearms....... I think...
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is
Honestly this at 9:02 and the red riding hood one are actually nice looking.
Iirc Medusa is a symbol for victims of sexual assault.
Some of these people should really practice tattooing fruits or just picking up a pen and a piece of paper before they start inking this stuff permanently into people’s skin. If it’s the client who is giving them reference pictures that look like this, the client should probably take a double take on the reference picture make sure everything’s looking right before you ask the tattoo artist to tattoo hands on you that look like a twisted pretzel.😂
The hand/ginger roots tattoo looks like an AI made it
Some of these look like bad design and some are bad execution. I can't blame the artist for bad design if that's what the client requested.
45 LBS BARBELL
The real question we should ask is if these people know that their tattoo are bad
The tattoo at 6:45 reminds me of the tattoo from the beginning of boondock saints 2, but it had the body on the cross.
the medusa tattoo is supposed to represent sexual assault victims
If I recall correctly, I think the "practice canvas" tattoo artists generally use is a slab of pork (although the guy I heard talking about that a long time ago decided to skip that and used his own thigh.) I'm guessing most don't go back to using that after being hired professionally, depending on the person.
reminder that, lazer removal is a thing
not understanding imperial weight measurements it wild because I thought 45lbs was mildly impressive til it was mentioned that it's only about 20kg... I can lift that easily and I don't do anything lol
Medusa is about the r word and the man who lifted 45 pound had cancer heads up
ACTUALLY, it was Medusa's face that turned people to stone
I have a diploma and 7+ years of experience in art, and yet even this wasn’t really helpful for my tattoo artist career. Tattooing requires A LOT of practice and a lot of other skills, and these artists have probably practiced before they started to do tattoos or real people.
Being honest? Many of those tattoos are actually quite beautiful, even if a bit deformed, which, even if costly to first remove part of the tattoo, can be corrected. I do agree with some looking plain bad, having the aforementioned deformities, not looking like someone skilled did them or some other stuff but you can't deny, the effort was put in and I am sure many people are happy with what they got. For example: I agree with the rainbow paints giraffee one - It does look quite horribly deformed but at the same time, the quality overall (linework on actual skin mind you, not a piece of paper or digital paper that's so much easier to draw on) is really amazing. The giraffee could be done looking normally but I just can't deny I like the tattoo even for as horrifying it can look.
Heads up getting a Medusa tattoo is a symbol of surviving sexual assault.
These make me scared to ever get a tattoo.
you know, there is fake skin out there, you can literally make it at home using silicone. At least practice 💀
ok i actually really like the last one. I have no clue what it is but it’s sorta a good conversation starter. It looks so surrealist. It kinda reminds me of the french movie fantastic planet. Also I actually like the first medusa tattoo I honestly don’t see what the problem with it is.
The last one is an angel crying into her arms. The weird lines are badly drawn hair
@@liljatupsu omg i thought that the wings were just weird mountain structures and the hair was like a scribbly creature and I thought the arms were the ground. Ignorance is bliss and now that i have knowledge on what it’s supposed to be I’m so disappointed
10:21 Bad Job?? It seems alright to me. Jack, where has your taste went??
Jack singing bits
1:08
8:35
12:05
15:05 that's a head down on crossed arms with wings on either side
12:05 Heresy, that's what it is.
9:24 and to let it just Sink In, that is from Grand Theft Auto V
0:44 Medusa tattoos is a theme here because many s£xual assu@lt survivors get them to symbolize the fact that they had the courage to stand strong and defend themselves again. 💪🏾💙💚
9:30 Hi Jack! Fellow Pokemon fan. Does this remind you of Banette?
I really liked those Miyazaki tattoos actually.
okay maybe I don't want to be a tattoo artist after all
The medusa tattoos ☹️
the fact that there's so many is so upsetting, I hope they're doing okay. ☹
On the dragon/die one, if they changed the 20 to a 1 it would just seem like a meta joke.
hey, the cobras are pretty good
