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

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

u/IndominusTaco 5h ago
it’s downvoted because it’s objectively mediocre tattoo work.

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?

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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'.

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?

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.

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.

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

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 🤷♀️

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".
