Bentoni and to be fair...it’s exactly what I think 😂🤷🏼‍♀️ I totally get it if you got your tattoos before you were famous, or your friend from high school is learning so you help them out. What I DON’T understand is if you can afford to go to the best tattoo artists in the world WHY DON’T YOU?! 😂🤷🏼‍♀️ I would kill to be tattooed by the best. I only have two swallows, very simple lines. I still looked at portfolios for months and chose an artist here in Scotland who is booked for months in advance. I paid triple what I’d pay at any other shop. Sure, it would maybe look just as good BUT they were so important to me, I wanted the best 💖👏🏻

You forgot to put like

Cool avatar pic, my fave character from that anime

What if they got the tattoos, before being famous? Lil peep has before he was famous xd.

Matthew Fogarty No, but I’m a military brat ☺️ all my family are either army or navy. Before modern technology, sailors would know they were close to shore (home) when they saw swallows, as they only fly so far out - hence its association with sailors. I’ve lived all over the world, my dad is now in the Ministry of Defence and my brother is still in the military. I have one for me, and one for them to remind me we’re never far from being “home” ☺️

I also think they do not invest time - just hurri up - quick whitaut any resaearch.

and i dont think EVERY celebrity got bad tattoos, some of them really knows the shit

Raven T I believe that if you have unlimited resources, not all tattoos should be pieces of art... do something fun, something silly, something memorable, especially being a celebrity you don’t have the limitation of your appearance, like you average 9-5 worker.

And also maybe some of those tattoos are just a cheap tattoo before they have the money they have now

Yeah sometimes dumb people get famous. Its annoying but it happens alot :/

that makes a lot of sense, this is definitely really likely

Same

Ikr, same

@GothicCoochie Givenchy has some nice pieces though

Nor can it buy class...

I favor the first

@GothicCoochie Just buying those brands does not mean one has taste. Taste can't be bought, it has nothing to do with wealth or what you own.

It can but that first class though xD

He is so over rated and it’s ridiculous. Why do people think he’s so good??

Who did his eye tattoos?

@@Gokuos the Always Tired one was done by Chad Rowe. He’s in two shops, one shop called Underdogs Tattoo Gallery in New Castle, IN. I don’t personally know him but he’d come into my Starbucks I worked at often and I’d have some occasional small talk. He’s one of Post Malone’s personal artists if my memory goes back properly.

Here's my suggestions. Hit up your friends with tats & ask them where they go. Word of mouth is a big deal here. If you keep hearing about a particular shop or artist, good or bad, there's usually a good reason for that. Then go check out some shops in your town. Look at their portfolios, chat with the artists if you can. You'll get a feel for where you're comfortable & the kind of artist you want. Hope this helps.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hMpjqaeLm7Wtn6s.html I liked that video. I do that with google maps and Instagram... I found some really nice artists

Probably practicing on themselves or letting apprentices practice on them .

Practice and also they have their own machines so usually they have people they love doing random shit on them

Oh OH and they're old

i grew up in the tattoo community (my father and his close friends often being inked magazine and running tattoo conventions) and what ive noticed is that its alot of experimentation and after a certain point they just do what they want :-)

It’s a trend

I agree!!! 😂😂😂

Lmaoo damn ruthless

Well he’s obviously famous for a reason right... it’s cause he’s really fucking good

@@xWingzTV He is quite good, but he should stop the tattoo roulette.

Well many tattoo artists usually do lots of stuff on them by themselves for practice for learning. So it’s pretty understandable

True

@Weirdgurl 4ever yeah, and on this channel the artists talk about the bad tattoos they have. The common theme with that video is its either they practicing on themselves, had an apprentice practice on them, or the tattoo was done by a friend or family member so despite it technically being bad it's very sentimental.

@Weirdgurl 4ever I completely understand what you are talking about.

Doesnt mean they cant critique bad tattoes. In fact, it makes them even more qualified.

Everyone is calling the tattoos bad because their subjective opinion , not at the good as it gets execution of the tattoo

The problem ain’t the shitty idea, it’s the shitty execution. You can make a bad idea into a well done tattoo, it’ll still be a bad concept but at least it will be shaded right, and the lines not wonky etc

I totally agree ,but they aren't all poorly executed tattoos . I left my own comment on this video pretty much saying that exact same thing you just did

Oh, I agree that a lot of them are just terribly done. But sometimes clients are pushy as hell (in any industry) and can be adamant about you making a poor decision. This doesn't apply to all of them obviously, since most are just slapped on indifferently with no thought to application, but I wonder if some might have looked better.

Unless it's a cara delavigne finger lion tattoo. Aint nothing to be done about that

Ben Peters I think most of the time you can tell good tattoos from bad ones..

Wendy Kuma I respectfully disagree, tattooing is a deep art form with many different styles and variations. So say an American is doing Japanese art, the American might finish and think it’s spectacular. Take that same piece to a person who grew up doing Japanese work and I guarantee that he can dissect that same piece and name many things that are done wrong and could be done better. It’s perspective and line of knowledge that determines how good it is.

@@benpeters5091 although this is a good point, there are certain fundamentals that are equal in every style. And from those you can tell a bad tattoo from a good one apart. (Sorry my english isn't the best)

leenyy That’s a very good point. (You’re english was near flawless haha)

Right and I think that happens to a lot of ppl we just don't hear about it cause we aren't all celebrities.

you thought independently and further than most comments, I like that.

Your thoughts are flawed in that you believe that the rate of quality versus terrible tattoos is fixed, like the mixture of toxins in the air in parts per million. In reality the rate of shitty tattoos is based in large part on the way you decide to get them and how careful you are about picking your artist. Celebrities have huge amounts of money. They have every advantage. If most restaurants are shit celebrities don't have to experience 4/5 meals being shit because they're rich and have connections so they can eat at excellent places every day. They buy excellent everything because they can. The advantages of wealth and power are fame are such that you can beat the odds because its not purely random. That 1 in 5 restaurants will produce excellent food almost 100% of the time. That's no different to a tattoo artist who makes very few mistakes and has excellent technique and composition. Acting like tattoos are not a product of talent and skill is ridiculous. In the end its no different to any other kind of art and there are countless artists who you can look at the body of their work and say everything they did was better than most people's work. Celebrities for some reason decide not to get excellent artists to do their work though and that's reflected in the sub par quality of their tattoos relative to their power and ability to access better talent. This is like looking at the homes of wealthy people and saying that since most art is shit it shouldn't be surprising that most wealthy people own mostly shit art but this isn't true. Most wealthy people own valuable well executed art because they can. For some reason celebrities have not carried this into how they get tattoos and the artists here have offered plenty of good theories for why.

@@BollocksUtwat Every single tattoo artist in this video didn't even know that's a hippogryph on affleck..

thefabAubigail You too

And people are still take it up the butt. Incredible

It's fucking incredible how most of these replies essentially boil down to "no, u".

But I'm a virgin

I will forever love and remember this comment. And also quote it to my partner when he shits me. Thanks xxxx

@Britt Waller that and I've heard some tattoo artists (not sure if all) will have their apprentices tattoo on them as well, someone who is not fully trained yet. But yes exactly like you said, most tattoo artists grow up wanting tattoos at a young age, and will go to a kitchen artist if they have to so of course they will have shitty ones. They were asked a question and they simply answered it, I don't think I heard them say theirs was any better. One said if they were famous they wouldn't want to have shitty tattoos while being in the public eye, but they didn't say they didn't have any.

Lol they tattoo themselves a lot before they’re anywhere good but it’s all okay because the idea is you care more about your art getting good than your body ,there’s cover ups available too

COMMENT of the day

Because they let the apprentice of the shop tattoo them in hopes to teach the apprentice... Tattooers also tattoo themselves before they tattoo anyone else, while they are learning how to execute the application perfectly, causing the least amount of trauma on the skin as possible. Tattoo artists tend not to care as much about the quality if work they receive because they know that they can cover them up easily or trade with a laser technician working on tattoo removal, usually swapping art for removal. Tattooing another artist is a bonding experience between the two people opposed to someone on the street, who may feel that tattoos need meaning and want it to be perfect. Tattooists are concerned with you getting a good tattoo because they want you to be happy and adore the art they have put on your body... bad tattoos are not subjective... bad tattoos are tattoos that display obvious trauma such as scaring, heavy blow outs, ink falling out all together... I could go on. At least that is what my partner ( whom is a tattoo artist) and many of our friends ( tattooers and shop owners) have told me, and what I have observed while working and spending five days a week in a tattoo studio.

The same reason a lot of hair stylists have fucked up hair sometimes. The people in the shop try new techniques on each other, they let people who are learning tattoo them and they tattoo themselves while they are learning. They do this to each other and to themselves, not to paying customers. But these celebrities all have tattoos that look like they were done by apprentices or completely untrained and inexperienced tattooers.

Seaweed Witch I disagree with the first thing you said. Art is never objectively bad if it has context that creates a style. Face tattoos for example aren’t a matter of showing off the ‘worlds best tattoo artists’ that all these idiots rage on about, its about the image they create in the context they give. If you look at post Malone or lil peep, lil Xan etc. the tattoos on their face aren’t mean to be some crazy massive piece, they for the most part are for people wanting the image of being careless, reckless, risky etc, and it doesn’t really matter how bad (to an extent) those tattoos are because they serve their purpose of showing somebodies character, I mean these tattoo geniuses spelled it out themselves, they have all the money in the world and yet they still don’t care, that’s what makes it interesting, that’s the style. Surprising to see all these so called ‘artists’ with their generic tattoos be so oblivious to this.

At art school just because your message and context is good it means jack shit if it isnt done well. Just because you sprinkle some meaning on top doesnt make it good art.

Ok well I literally go to one of the top art school in the country so dont "Besides your wrong" me. Literally so many people get torn apart because of there bad art and dont care about the meaning so much. And tattoo is art, tattoos are basically illustration, im an illustration major. No matter what kind of artist where you are and what medium you use, if your in school or out of school, you will always critique other work and you CAN tell what is bad art. Like there is being subjective and then there is ACTUAL FUCKING TECHNIQUE. You can only go so far with "meaning" If that arm or foot looks fucked up, its fucked up and its a fact, its not up to a persons opinion that it looks bad or good.

Cool thanks for saying my passion in life is meaning less :^) guess i should just drop out of school to work at a meaning less job that will make me want to actually kill myself. And literally every thing you have in your life has been made with the help of a artist. The clothes you wear, the music you listen to, the movies you watch, the books you read, the cars you drive, the buildings you live in, etc all made by useless people with useless degrees.OH AND GREAT YOUR 15 EVEN BETTER. Also literally most artist hate photo realism, its cheap and unoriginal, thats why most artist in school are not fine artist. You seems to think everyone in art school only draws in realism. And most good tattoos are very graphic and bold lines and those are the ones that will last the best. another thing the most pretentious people at art school are graphic designers, literally the rest of us just joke around and draw memes, people seems to think art school is pretentious but in all truth its the normal school that are. Literally every other school shits on us just for making art and think they are better than us which is pretty fucking pretentious if you ask me

Literally aint true, im already working with NPR (national public radio) and doing illustrations for them and have been traveling with them all paid for, and im not even out of school yet. Heck I just did some stuff for them this week while doing homework and am getting paid next week! Most illustrators either end up tattoo artist, editorial work, do animation for people, and actually alot just work for themselves and sell there work. My personal friend has even been making band/tour posters for death cab for cutie, childish gambino, etc. There are so many ways for artist to succeed and make a living, if anything there have been more jobs for artist recently. Most artist want a simple life, dont want a big house, lots of cars, we just want to be in a small place, be happy and make art. And my school literally has Architecture and design, MICA just built a building for Architecture and we have a amazing design program. Regardless those people art creators and are artist. Also for me personally Im truly a better artist because of school. You learn to think in new ways, your skills become tighter, you learn so much history, and take classes in how to get work with you art and talk about taxes and all that shit. I was great at art before but now im extremely confident. College was originally a place to learn and I think people forget that, and ive learned so much and I will always be grateful and thankful to all my teachers and inspiring people ive met.

We should share some links for laser removal, seems like most of this comment section could use it. That and some lube to pull the sticks out of their arses

Cause they got a shitty scratcher tattoo and now want to hate on good work.

cause there is alot of people with bad tattoos who like to defend their bad tattoos

I bet you a fuck ton of these people are celebrity worshipers who wade into endless comments about how shit their favourite celeb's tattoos are. Celeb obsessed people are fucking weird and deform their reasoning to support their presupposed position: that Bieber's tats are epic and deep and reflect the poetry in his soul or whatever.

Guess lots of people in the comments got one direction tats 🤣

I'll say the comments just because they aren't selling you tattoos.

I rather trust the professionals since they should know how to do a proper tattoo and customers are a bit more biased

Id say trust yourself because tattoos,art,music anything in that feild is completely subjective. You're the one who's going to end up having the tattoo

@@WXW1Diagoko I guess there gotta be a balance of trusting yourself and the tattoo artist to get that tattoo to look proper and not so cruddy.

ArcticWinds Artist Nah Art is subjective

"Look at these losers tattooing their neck" says a person with a neck tattoo

You realize a lot of tattooers have practiced on themselves and have had apprentices practice on them. Every artist I have gone to that have a few bad tattoos are usually the best... They aren't afraid to do anything to get better or to let someone do anything to get better under their guidance.

First Surname why are you asking why someone is on this video not everyone has to share your opinions

It be pretty hard to ink yourself with the same amount of skillas on someone else. You don’t have micro pain over a long period of time affecting your concentration

Couldn't agree more not 1 of these people had anything legible sad

Its not a weird obsession at all. Artists care alot about their craft and about getting better over time. It makes sense that a lay person wouldnt care as much. But I would be terrified if a professional artist didnt care enough about their craft to spot mistakes and give critique.

Wait that wasn’t a mustache? I did not see an eagle

@zombiegorecheese dont bother telling him that, he's an idiot

Prob dosnt even have a tattoo or even talked to a tattoo artist

Some really famous artist (forgot who) said that great artists usually have one or bad tats. So you can throw that hypocrite argument out the window.

why is “artists” in quotes. they are artists. just because they picked up a shitty piece somewhere along the line in their life (lending their hide to an apprentice, or friend) doesnt mean they arent artists. they dont do their OWN tattoos, & its not like a bad tattoo from someone else invalidates your own capabilities lmao use ur brain kid

most tattoo artists have shitty tattoos mainly because they 1) got them before they were artists when they didnt have much money 2) let interns practice on them 3) practiced on themselves 4) got them 20+ years ago when the industry was very very different. But today, there's no excuse getting bad tattoos if you have money. Just wait and its worth it.

you mean figuratively shitty

@thing guy person And they aren't denying that. Those are the tattoos they got when they didn't understand the industry as well.

jc boy u sounded like a nerd

Like 90% of tattooed people have at least one bad tattoos, the point of this video is why people with the money and resources decide to get poor work.that being said, the best thing to do is to do your research and find an artist you like, even if its not the best if its something you like then get it

Snobby & arrogant

A ton of completely tatted people have one or two bad tats. Some famous artist (forgot his name) said most good artists have some bad tats. Also just because they’re being snobby doesn’t mean they’re wrong. The stupidest argument ever is “You can’t criticize me because you also have done _____.”

Thank you lmao the first girl to mention post malone like bro you look like someone got to you with a million vending maching temporary tats

Yes exactly. I found out that the reason why celebs do is because a lot of reputable artists have waitlists and/or will tell you if your tat idea is a shitty idea/something they're not good at/etc. A lot of those elites aren't the most patient people since they're so used to getting what they want, special treatment, and instant gratification… So instead of getting on the waitlist or spending time reconsidering a bad tat idea, they go to the first person who'll take them immediately and doesn't give a shit if the tat is shitty

Taste is subjective and time dependent... So whatever you want, in 10 years or so you will have cliche/dumb/bad/without taste tattoo
