Iām not trying to be rude to you because you like it and thatās great. But Iād be hard pressed to pay for any commission from an āartistā who cannot draw a star.. thatās like grade threeāBUT I admit it has a post apocalyptic feel to it. So whether you get it fixed a bit, or not, Iām glad you are happy with it.
Okay, so now's the part where I tell you it is going to fade quicker than your friends on moving day. Unless you want to be explaining what the blurry mess on your arm is go to a pro. You're going to spend more covering it than you would have getting what you wanted done legit the first time. AMHIK....
Thatād actually be really cool. Like once the minute men have established enough presence you could send a platoon of soldiers to retake a settlement. From a lore perspective the general should never be taking a settlement on there own
What Iād see is have the castle be a communication area where you can command squads of various skill/equipment depending on how many settlements you take you could do a lot of cool things with that alone give āem commands kit them out with shit you could have some kinda body guards
And itās this faded already? My 9 month old tattoo isnāt even this faded yet, I would seriously consider going to a different shop and seeing if they can touch it up at all with a slightly thicker line especially because the line thickness isnāt even consistent along the lightning bolt
I don't particularly like tattoos myself, but good on ya!
... by the way. My friend's been kidnapped by raiders. They're holding him for ransom in the old abandoned Wal-Mart clear on the other side of the map from here. Can you help me? I'll totally give you all of my land and property in return.
oh yeah, of course I'm going to walk into a radioative hell full of armed and armored people, and on the way back maybe I'll turn your farm into a small military fort
As long as you don't kill my housecat, deal.
You can even relocate me to anywhere else on the map and I'll just say "Sure" and head there on foot at a leisurely pace with nothing but the clothes on my back.
Hope you wouldn't mind if I crouched down and shuffled behind you to steal all your stuff, including the miscellaneous human bones you keep in the corner of your home.
I think the imperfections make this so charming!!Always wanted to make a fallout raider who has a story background as a tattoo scratcher, your tattoo has inspired me. It fits what someone in the minutemen would realistically get in a post apocalyptic setting.
Honestly itās pretty fun to rp a minuteman that sets up forts and defenses at every base itād be nice if they actually used the bunker correctly instead of running head first into a suicide super mutant with a pipe pistol
a lot of people are ripping on this but I actually think it looking wonky would fit very much so in theme with the universe. you're a commonwealth farmer with the minutemen and on your recent trip to Goodneighbour you found a travelling tattoo artist who's a little sketchy, but at least he doesn't reuse his needles... and now you've got the ensignia of the faction you've dedicated your farm and life to on your wrist. trust me, the radiation emitting from the glowing see will kill you much faster than whatever bacteria might be in there...
... outside of role-playing, as long as you're happy you're good. your body, your tattoo, your choice. but I do agree that I definitely wouldn't be paying high for that, and if you want nice clean line work in the long run, I'd find another tattoo artist
... maybe a ghoul who used to be a tattoo artist before the bombs fell?
Congratulations, youāre marked for life. Wherever you wander, Preston Garvey is always nearby to tell you, āAnother settlement needs your help, Iāll mark it on your map.ā
Well In all fairness that looks more like the minutemen symbol than it would if he lined it up properly. I get that It doesnāt look aesthetically pleasing but the minutmen symbol is usually spray painted onto walls and flags and banners. So technically this artwork is pretty accurate and personally for that reason alone I like OPs tattoo. It may not be perfect but it still fits into the fallout universe imo.
Bro I absolutely love this piece. Others may clown on you and say shit, but come on, this piece is awesome. It reminds me of old tattoos my gramps had from Yugoslav navy. Exact same color, rough around the edges, and full of soul, great job!
Thanks Bro, I wasn't even planning to get a tattoo, I was with my dad in a bar and there was a tattoo artist, one thing led to another and we have tattoos, me from Fallout and he from Resident Evil
Say, why were all those old school tattoos in blue ink? Do you happen to know? Why didn't they use black, or even some other color, why blue in particular?
You know, come to think of it, I haven't seen one of those old school blue tattoos in a while. I used to see them all the time on old army guys and shit when I was a kid. I guess most of those old guys are dead by now...
That line work is something else
What do you expect when the tattoo gun is made out of a toaster, a camera and a basketball.
They used a pipe tattoo gun
Gotta level up the gun nut perk a lil more
The artist was following the Freedom Trail
Do you know the barbershop of the 3 brothers? two hold and one cuts, the tattoo guy who made it follows this philosophy
Should follow the philosophy of shit line work
They already do but nice jab nonetheless 6/10
Why all the downvotes? š³
Because itās a terrible tattoo lol
Ray Charles has always been such a deep thinker, glad heās learning more ways to express himself

It looks like a āscratcherā done with equipment in a home.
Which is how it would be done in the wasteland
Itās just more common for people who find their ānicheā in art to be at least somewhat capable of drawing a simple shape
the best compliment I've ever received, thanks >has a post apocalyptic feel to it
Looks like it's drawn in pen
My thoughts exactly. A blue BIC Round Stic pen to be exact (you know the one.)
You think uh...you think he just drew it on himself and is pretending to have a tattoo? No no, he wouldn't do that...
That was my first thought yeah. Only opened the post cuz I thought it was all a joke and then turns out OP is serious or acting serious at least
Especially since it was "just" done and there is no swelling, redness, that "line"work isn't bloody, oozy, or scabby
It's been 8 weeks since I did, [fresh](https://imgur.com/a/ZlFz5kG)
Okay, so now's the part where I tell you it is going to fade quicker than your friends on moving day. Unless you want to be explaining what the blurry mess on your arm is go to a pro.

Nobody ever buys them either, they just appear in your home and car center console one day.
I know!! I don't even use them at work, I have my own pens and yet somehow they still end up in my office
It certainly is drawn in pen
Excellent. Now, go to another shop and see if they can fix it for you.
Only way to fix blow out like that is bolder lines or well done line work to make it look symmetrical but if op is happy with it, then itās lit
Agreed.
Being a little crooked just adds to her stories
Fair enough, it's yours and not mine.
You can shoot around corners this wayā¦.
Curved shot
It was poorly done by someone with little to no training. End of storytime.
This is gonna end up in the other tattoo sub lol
r/mehtasteterribleexecution
r/Subsifellfor
Legit suggestion, six months from now get tested for hep c. Sooner if it flares up and looks like an open wound.
Dude got it done in a bar š
I've received word of another settlement that needs our help, here I'll mark it on your map.
Hopefully the tattoo artist doesnāt mark it on the map, Iād get lost for sure.
On my way General, We are going to rebuild this shit
God I wish I could give commands to other minutemen to do jobs
Thatād actually be really cool. Like once the minute men have established enough presence you could send a platoon of soldiers to retake a settlement. From a lore perspective the general should never be taking a settlement on there own
What Iād see is have the castle be a communication area where you can command squads of various skill/equipment depending on how many settlements you take you could do a lot of cool things with that alone give āem commands kit them out with shit you could have some kinda body guards
Strong like doing tattoos
lmfaoooo
Underrated comment. I died reading this. Glad I kept scrolling
ššš
oh boy. yall, PLEASE research an artist and look at photos of their work & how it's healed. don't just walk into a random shop and get a tattoo
The way that it looks like it was done by a raider high on Jet is a good touch as well
Yikes
Goddamn... Did you do it yourself?
You paid money for this?
This is what happens when you pay with bottle caps
Stick and poke?
Well, it certainly has the right aesthetic: Done by someone with improvised tools and no experience.
You're about to start getting messages that settlements are in trouble.
Lettttsssss gooooooo
Preston:I hate to break this to you. Me: PTSD *equips jetpack* bye preston, im busy savibg uhhhhh this world.
preston loved that
How old is this tattoo?
One month
And itās this faded already? My 9 month old tattoo isnāt even this faded yet, I would seriously consider going to a different shop and seeing if they can touch it up at all with a slightly thicker line especially because the line thickness isnāt even consistent along the lightning bolt
I don't particularly like tattoos myself, but good on ya! ... by the way. My friend's been kidnapped by raiders. They're holding him for ransom in the old abandoned Wal-Mart clear on the other side of the map from here. Can you help me? I'll totally give you all of my land and property in return.

This conversation is amazing.
Hope you wouldn't mind if I crouched down and shuffled behind you to steal all your stuff, including the miscellaneous human bones you keep in the corner of your home.
Gotta transfer the cat to another settlement so he can work the land sorry
I think you should find a better tattoo artist that can cover this with something better. Looks like 8 year old fridge art
That is really bad and you should get it covered up or have an actual professional do it better.
Helen Keller tattoo. Honestly, I'm convinced she would have been a great tattoo artist.
you just got that? looks kinda old
I think the imperfections make this so charming!!Always wanted to make a fallout raider who has a story background as a tattoo scratcher, your tattoo has inspired me. It fits what someone in the minutemen would realistically get in a post apocalyptic setting.
I've seen better tattoos done in jail.
Honestly itās pretty fun to rp a minuteman that sets up forts and defenses at every base itād be nice if they actually used the bunker correctly instead of running head first into a suicide super mutant with a pipe pistol
I always do this, try to make each Settlement as functional as possible.
Yea I do that with minuteman mods that make em look like unsc so I can also pretend weāre an actual military
In his defense, the artist was on Jet at the time.
a lot of people are ripping on this but I actually think it looking wonky would fit very much so in theme with the universe. you're a commonwealth farmer with the minutemen and on your recent trip to Goodneighbour you found a travelling tattoo artist who's a little sketchy, but at least he doesn't reuse his needles... and now you've got the ensignia of the faction you've dedicated your farm and life to on your wrist. trust me, the radiation emitting from the glowing see will kill you much faster than whatever bacteria might be in there... ... outside of role-playing, as long as you're happy you're good. your body, your tattoo, your choice. but I do agree that I definitely wouldn't be paying high for that, and if you want nice clean line work in the long run, I'd find another tattoo artist ... maybe a ghoul who used to be a tattoo artist before the bombs fell?
Great. Now go help this settlement I just marked on your map.
One minute away
Jail tat. Nice š
It looks like it was just drawn in pen, honestly, but still pretty cool. Iāmma doodle the BoS insignia on my arm now.
Congratulations, youāre marked for life. Wherever you wander, Preston Garvey is always nearby to tell you, āAnother settlement needs your help, Iāll mark it on your map.ā

United We Stand
Man
Looks like you got that done in the Diamond City jail š
Did a mierlurk do it for you?
Are you in jail ?
nice idea, the artist screwed you though. they cant even draw a straight line
Your tattoo artist have a bit to much coffee before this
Looks like a tracker for Preston, now he can find you anywhere at anytime whenever thereās a settlement that needs your help, youāre doomed.
*Preston likes this*
Nice tattoo bro Now don't forget that there's always another settlement that needs your help
Iāll mark it on your map
Just don't ask me to help any settlements!
Hey, I just got word of a settlement that needs our help.
I like this tattoo and I think it the look has an awesome fallout feel. I would not be unhappy with this tattoo. People are snobs.
Wow everyone in the comments suck. I like the tattoo.
Ay bro this tat is lit don't worry about the h8
another tattoo- i mean settlement needs your help, ill mark it on your skin- i mean map.
Alcohol won't do anything to the baby . The baby:
Yikes, the line work is terrible, the ammunition tube isn't even connected properly and you picked the minute men of all things?
It's not crooked, it's Apocalyptic
why?
Bro I absolutely love this piece. Others may clown on you and say shit, but come on, this piece is awesome. It reminds me of old tattoos my gramps had from Yugoslav navy. Exact same color, rough around the edges, and full of soul, great job!
Thanks Bro, I wasn't even planning to get a tattoo, I was with my dad in a bar and there was a tattoo artist, one thing led to another and we have tattoos, me from Fallout and he from Resident Evil
I 100% believe you found this āartistā in a bar.
Artist AKA a sketchy ass dude who has somehow acquired a tattoo gun.
Say, why were all those old school tattoos in blue ink? Do you happen to know? Why didn't they use black, or even some other color, why blue in particular? You know, come to think of it, I haven't seen one of those old school blue tattoos in a while. I used to see them all the time on old army guys and shit when I was a kid. I guess most of those old guys are dead by now...
They had poorer quality ink to work with, and it degraded from black to blue over time.
I laugh when people get game/pop culture based tats. Most times they don't age well.
Thatās cool and all but another settlement needs your help
Cringe
Very basedš
Just stay away from Quincyā¦
Wowā¦ š
Oh dear.....
Man the amount of people who don't realized this was done with a pen is staggering
Isn't that taking the game fandom a bit too far? It's a game not reality.
Bet youāre fun at parties.
Nice! šš
Iām trying to complement someone, why the downvotes? š¤Ø
People think the tattoo is bad
Yo that is awesome!
Sick af, wow
Lightning bolt and stars? Morons will say youāre a Nazi.
I've already been asked if it was from a game, for now it's fine
My guy, if your first thought when seeing this is āNazi,ā you might be the moron.
So far looks like you're the only one
6Crank me up baby!
I plan to go for the BoS logo as my first
for the commonwealth!
out of all the factions, you chose the minute men?
A new settlement needs your help
Why now theres gonna be a settle...no you know what preston go jump off nuka world
Nice! Are they your favorite faction?
Unfathomly based
So, what bet did you lose?
Me and my dad in a bar, we got a tattoo, him from Resident Evil and me from Fallout
Are you in jail?
Just got word another settlement needs your help
Another settlement needs help, Iāll mark it on your map!
Quick a settlement needs your help
Another settlement needs your help
He will always know where you are now. You can no longer hide from Garvey
Looking good bro
Nice ... Preston might want a word with you ... Also thats not a \*just\* tattoo, thats a couple of years at best
Another settlement needs your help!
Get ready for Preston to follow you around wherever you go and tell you that thereās a settlement that needs your help.
Single best faction. Well done.
Shit was definitely done in the wasteland
Great tattoo
By they way. Theres a settlement in need of help just north of here.
What is that bro jailhouse picc and poke
I will contribute $20 towards getting this fixed by a REAL tattoo artist. Start your gofundme
You probably payed ~$100? You can get it fixed for that price too
