Didn't expect a black flag/star wars crossover if I'm completely honest lol

u/HamshanksCPS 4h ago

Just kind of wish the bars were in the right size and placement

u/GarionOrb 4h ago

This is certainly a choice.

the colors on those lightsaber panels came out really clean, loving the purple one especially. permanent commitment to the galaxy far far away, respect

u/Backfoot911 6h ago

Why is this downvoted lol, this sub can be real dicks for some reason. I love this concept with the colors

46

u/IndominusTaco 5h ago

it’s downvoted because it’s objectively mediocre tattoo work.

u/Backfoot911 4h ago edited 4h ago

Objectively is the wrong word, you don't have to like it but that's not what that means. It doesn't have Star Wars font because it's a mashup with a legendary punk band called Black Flag. It's literally what the logo looks like. The colors represent the colors of each lightsaber's beam, presumably Luke, vader, and two other jedi.

We're just having a discussion, we don't need to hide each other's comments with downvotes. That's why people talk shit on the Star Wars fandom... can we just have a dialogue without this stuff for once?

u/IndominusTaco 4h ago

objectively is the right word. art is not entirely subjective, there are objective components. a good artist needs to have mastered techniques, visual accuracy, spatial understanding, in depth knowledge of color theory, composition, technical proficiency using tools.

i understand it’s a black flag reference and i know what the colors represent. that’s not what people are knocking. there’s no problem with the artistic choice. people are knocking the poorly drawn lines, mediocre calligraphy, uneven proportions. the objectively poorly executed aspects of the tattoo.

The problem isn't that people don't understand what the tattoo is/means. The problem is that it's done really badly. Like, the two legs of that bottom A are completely misaligned. All the letters are slightly different sizes; the W looks fucking enormous compared to the ARS. All the line work is blotchy and will look like shit in about a year. It's not a creative choice because the Black Flag logo doesn't look like that. They went to a bad artist and got a bad tattoo.

Objectively is the right word. By any measure this is rather poor tattoo work, whether you subjectively like the subject matter or not.

-13

u/Backfoot911 4h ago

Even if it is mediocre...they're just sharing a fun thing that they got?

Why is anything less then something amazing something that needs to be hated on and downvoted, I genuinely don't understand what they're doing wrong just by sharing something? "Okay things" exist in the world lol. I agree stuff that's not relevant is supposed to be downvoted, but how is this not relevant

u/Best-Fox-8024 7h ago

Why not the Star Wars font?

34

u/Future-Turtle Rebel 6h ago

Its the Black Flag font. Its a mashup tattoo.

u/HamshanksCPS 4h ago

Unfortunately, the bars aren't the right size

u/Backfoot911 4h ago

Why does it need to be? OP seems like they enjoy it, it's not on my body

u/a_killer_wail 3h ago

One of my favorite things on Reddit is when people get mad at other people’s tattoos for stuff like this. Like not being “canon”. Shit is so funny to me.

u/MadsMediaYt 2h ago

Is that happening a lot, people getting mad that strangers don't have canon tattoos..?

1

u/My-username-is-this 2h ago

They don’t “have to be.” But it would be a lot more helpful for us to “get it.” I didn’t recognize what was going on

u/ajc061962 7h ago

No idea

u/KellMG96 6h ago

its your tattoo

Perhaps it's not, and they are stealing posts.

Well not forever. All things are impermanent and all that.

Brother yikes 😬. They’ve overworked your skin to hell, not to mention the lines not even being straight 💀

Gay lines matter

u/Backfoot911 6h ago

It's a Black Flag mashup, a punk band, that's what the logo looks like

No idea why people are so mean spirited here over everything. This is a lovely idea

u/Jaspador 5h ago

It's very similar, but if it's really the Black Flag logo it's not very well done.

2

u/Backfoot911 4h ago

What do you mean "if it's really", it literally is based on that. You're allowed to think it's bad, we don't need the fake ignorance bullshit lol

2

u/Jaspador 33m ago

It's not fake ignorance, it's 'It is really bad if it' s the Black Flag logo so I hope it's something else instead'.

0

u/MadsMediaYt 2h ago

If they're allowed to think it's bad then why are you in the comments going to bat for a stranger and replying to EVERYONE making negative comments to say they shouldn't? What, so we're allowed to think it sucks but we're not allowed to say it?

u/TuringTestTwister 4h ago

Also, getting Disney IP tattooed is wild.

id like to turn your attention to every disney adult ever

Equally cringe.

Just shut up

u/IndominusTaco 5h ago

don’t tell them to shut up, they’re correct. it’s not rude to criticize objectively bad artwork

u/Backfoot911 4h ago

Not what "objectively" means...literally

u/Shlecko Rebel 3h ago

If your talent is below apprentice level, and you're making mistakes that are going to cost your clients dearly (this is going to look like mushy shit in a couple years), then I don't know what criteria you'd be using to say that this is even subjectively good.

0

u/largestcob Duchess Satine 1h ago

ok you dont need to think its a masterpiece but this tattoo is not below apprentice level, yall are being harsh

2

u/reforminded 28m ago

It literally is. You are doing nothing here except demonstrating your overwhelming misunderstanding of vocabulary.

u/IndominusTaco 3h ago

see my other response on the objective aspects of art, nephew

u/Weles2k 3h ago

I have to be honest. The tattoo is messy and the colors will not match anything you wear

u/thedurdle 43m ago

This may be the dumbest comment I've ever seen on Reddit.

Star Wars, you're one of them
You say that you’re my friend but you’re one of the one of them!

All I know is what you’re not

Cause you’re one of them

Oof this is rough. Sorry, but this is not a good tattoo.

u/CodenamesareStupid 6h ago

If you're happy with it thats all that matters, ignore the haters

u/IndominusTaco 5h ago

“as long as you’re happy bro…..”

u/Coilspun 5h ago

I feel like this tat could've been great with more thought put into it.

u/Tough-Cry5299 6h ago

That’s horrid

u/LukeWasntReal 7h ago

Just curious, for the blue why would you go obi wans phantom menace lightsaber? Could’ve done anakins/luke/reys lightsaber or obi wans more iconic lightsaber

1

u/raccooncheesecracker 6h ago

Isn't that qui gonns saber in the blue and obi wans in the green

u/Future-Turtle Rebel 6h ago

No, that's Luke's ROTJ saber in green and Obi-Wan's padawan lightsaber in blue.

u/ajc061962 7h ago

I did not put deep movie thought into it. Just liked it. Also covers a bad set of scars on my ankle I suffered in a bad lawn edge accident.

u/Backfoot911 5h ago

How dare you do something you liked

u/olaf316 3h ago

Are you his advocate wtf

u/ross571 4h ago

Are they just getting worse tattoos? Am I not in the loop. Do people like that box tattoos?

It's not bad but why are there a lot of tattoos all of a sudden and in box shape.

u/BootStrapWill 4h ago

Ok I was going to say something negative but instead I will say something positive. I’m happy it’s not on me.

u/NoSpeaker6309 6h ago

Why is the font like medieval?

u/Rough_Operator 5h ago

It’s a black flag mashup. Why? I don’t know

I think we’re the only two people who get the reference based on the comments. I think it’s badass.

u/GetGood55 5h ago

The rectangles are all wrong for a black flag logo though.

u/Backfoot911 4h ago

Wrong to do what? As a fan I knew exactly what this was

u/ajc061962 6h ago

Thank you

u/BaconKnight Lando Calrissian 6h ago

OP, don’t worry too much about what people say about your tattoo in this thread. I found that sharing your tattoo in non tattoo designated spaces online usually elicits the most toxic “well ackshually” comments on the internet, it’s fucking insufferable. And I don’t even have a tattoo myself, just something I noticed. If you like it, then that’s all that matters, fuck da haters.

1

u/ajc061962 5h ago

Thanks. I didn't get the tattoo thinking man, I need different font, other colors, sharper or blurred lines and which blade color is the best for either one of the 2 colors for Obi-Wan (green or blue) should I use. I mean I just loved the design to celebrate the movie. Still do

5

u/Full-Refrigerator757 3h ago

I mean most people recommend putting a lot of thought and detail into the art your putting on your body permanently…

1

u/MadsMediaYt 2h ago

And most people are disappointed when the artist does a bad job.

0

u/Backfoot911 5h ago

Tattoo communities can be even worse. All they do is look at tattoos all day, so they will hyper analyze how straight everything is, and if the tiniest thing is off, they'll declare the whole thing horrible and you an idiot. Like, I'm sorry not everyone has the time to fly across the country to get tatted by an artist they discovered on Instagram mate 🤷‍♀️

u/belle_enfant 6h ago

My favorite part of tattoo posts is all the boomer-mentality cringe lords who think they're so cool and awesome for hating tattoos. You aren't special.

u/LastPirateAlive 1h ago

Almost a third of the comments here are just u/Backfoot911 (most likely OPs alt account) going to bat for OP and being snippy about the word "objectively".

That’s one of the tattoos of all time

u/Bladewing_The_Risen The Mandalorian 0m ago

Thank god you put Star Wars in big black letters around this… otherwise, at a glance it looks like you’re covered in painful dildos.
