ATBGE

It's not great execution though

It's at least a well done tattoo. It has good concise line work and good shading and color. The question is, did they draw it or did the person getting it? It's a pop art interpretation and not a portrait but a portrait and an intentional joke tattoo don't always mix.

Actually I kinda agree, that's kind of awesome in a terrible, ironic way (and making fun of Twilight is timeless). Flashy disco Zoolander is a killer, y'all!

Sure, but irony kind of dies when you permanently affix it to your skin. So it's terrible, but great because the sparkly dead fish face along with the awful line and sparkle emphasis, but then loops back around to "oh my God why" because it's a goddamn tattoo.

The only viable possibilities I see are that this is a twilight fan that thinks it goes hard unironically, or a twilight hater that really needs a different hobby.

It does go hard unironically. It’s clean, the sparkles come across immediately, even the text is surprisingly consistent given the font choice. Honestly, the only big gripe I have is some inconsistent line width in the hair, but I had to look for it.

If it was done to be funny, they nailed it. If it was done in earnest by a fan, fucken equally cool. It’s genuinely not a bad tattoo IMO.

The tattoo is excellent, but to permanently have it on your skin is a level of irony poisoning I aspire to have one day.

An upside of apocalyptic environmental collapse due by the end of the century is The Elders™ trying to explain their very specific joke tattoos to the younglings.

If the person finds it funny and it's done well, why not?

I personally find the "eat pant" Bart cake to be so goddamn funny I can't breathe basically any time I see it, so getting a well done tattoo of that for me would be great forever

I mean, it's not r/terriblelifedecisions (even if that really should be). In any case, I've seen worse tattoos as jokes. Not everyone has good judgement when it comes to permanent things.

It’s important to remember that redditors do not stand by anything they say. So it doesn’t matter.

I can kind of see why. I don't understand why anybody would ever get this as a tattoo, but it's actually well drawn, it's not "shitty" per se, maybe more tacky I guess.

Back on Reddit you had /r/atbge, awful taste, but good execution.

This one might rank quite high in that category

atbge, awful taste, but good execution

Oh, so that is what it means. I used to skip posts in this sub because of the cryptic name.

Rule 5 of the sub says: "Shitty tattoo. Either in taste or concept or execution."

I would argue it's in poor taste, as it's basically a shitpost on your body.

Honestly, while I would never get this tattoo and might look a little sideways at it if I saw it while out and about, its actually very well done and looks really clean. I think there was a sub called like awful content but excellent execution or something like that it would better suited for.

I believe it was awful taste but great execution and yeah this is prime content for it

The quality isn't bad, the nose is maybe strangely small, lips are a little off-putting, the lettering could be neater.

But yeah "ew Twilight bad."

Well, I mean... It's not THAT far off, is it?
