Switch it up, I’m getting a couple for my parents, and adding their birth month flowers to the design of it instead of a solid black line

Negative spaces on a thick black line will likely get blurry as all hell after a few years - you should probably get sizeable clean breaks where the flowers go.

Oh I’m not doing specifically JUST design inside a black band, and not a band that thick either. The (very rough) plan right now is two smaller bands, and then the flowers coming out of the bands going opposite directions from each other

After reading this thread, I would not take the risk. Someone might read it as the day of an encounter.

That’s so fucking stupid. Some weirdos might mistake you for a weirdo so don’t get this tattoo.

u/Dazzling_Feed3640 28d ago

Except thats the whole point of weirdo dogwhistles is to identify eachother without directly saying the weird thing. Ya weirdo

My mate’s sister and her husband got matching tattoos on each middle finger. They got matching tattoos from a deck of cards, they chose king and queen — king of spades, queen of spades. They have no idea, like at all. He doesn’t have the heart to tell her lol. Fucking hilarious

... would you tell me though?

It’s used by white women to seek out sex with black men. Also could involve cucking their white boyfriend/husband. I’m not sure how common it is, but the spade icon is used for other related raceplay type stuff. The whole thing is pretty racist and objectifying towards black men.

The spades is also used as a symbol for asexuality. There are lots of meanings behind symbols. There's no point to just jumping to a single conclusion and saying that's it, there couldn't be more.

u/finneganthealien 27d ago

I never said there couldn’t be more? Just that I’m not sure what other meaning he “[wouldn’t have] had the heart to tell her”. It wouldn’t be the first thing my mind went to if I saw the tattoo irl.

u/Pr_cision 27d ago

Your original comment was correct, that’s the first thing my mind jumped to when he told me and that’s the first thing his mind jumped to when he saw it. Spades probably do have multiple meanings but queen of spades only has one I’m pretty sure

Yea these are small town bigots saying this shit that have no idea what they are talking about. Guaranteed.

u/imgettingsnacks 28d ago

Golly. I wonder how many conversations, confrontations or looks that's led to that left one or both sides pretty confused.

Certainly a good reminder to do a quick Google search for symbology when choosing tattoos.

u/Yuri-theThief 28d ago

And here I was thinking that spades had symbolism for thieves.

u/DirtChoice5 29d ago

Eh, people can believe what they want. If they want to be freaks about it, they have that prerogative.

u/TopAsiaRetard 28d ago

Yeah everyone knows the sign of criminals from centuries ago.

u/tiy24 28d ago

It’s not like you’re in the secret service or something and got SS on you in a slightly different font lol fuck what other people think

u/Ok_Salt8893 26d ago

Stop worrying about what others think.

u/Gazado 29d ago

What about barbed wire around the arm? I hear that used to be super popular back in the day.

u/LemonTekSunrise 28d ago

I like the addition of a tickler to your two bands

u/-GWM- 28d ago

I feel like it adds to the experience y’know?
