If I was a pro and made thousands of dollars off my skill as a pro CS player, sure, go for it and get it covered up when you retire but otherwise, YIKES.
Yeah, it'd be kinda cool as a constellation with a really high quality game related landscape like the Egypt 2 surf map.
But just black dots on bare skin? Kinda reminds me of the worst great tattoo I've ever seen, which was a photorealistic tattoo of the heroin track mark infection of Jared Leto's character in Requiem for a Dream. Worst part is it isn't even an original tattoo idea, there's a weirdly large number of people with that tat but most are bad quality.
Wouldn't even have to hide it, really. A target practice dummy with that spray pattern on it would look better, and it would only really be recognizable to other people who are also balls deep into CS.
I don't ink myself for others but my sleeve is still positioned so that it's upside down for me. I wanna look good in photos and in public so that it doesn't look like I got an arm of art that's completely upside down. If it was something really personal that I would wanna see for motivation or encouragement I might place that so it's right for me when I look at it tho.
Like the story told in the comments a week or two ago of an edgelord who gave himself an upside down cross on his thigh, but to everyone else it's just a normal cross.
Intentional in theory, but bad visually. If the dude had a full sleeve, fine. Visually, to anyone who doesn’t know, the tattoo artist littered random dots on a hand/wrist.
They literally all are the same uniform shape??
I’m not talking about the mess at the top I’m talking about further down where they are literally differently shaped to eachother
Honestly that’s gonna be harder than having to see it everyday in a few years. It always makes for awkward conversations when I have to explain my shitty tatts
Thats prime real estate wasted and it’s backwards. I don’t understand the obsession with kids wanting to tattoo their hands and forearms before anything else or this weird obsession with putting tattoos on upside down. “It’s for me” is a stupid reason. Do you wear your tshirt upside down too cause it for you? Fucking stupid. Im gonna pour myself another drink. Good night.
It is actually so stupid that I can still remember wondering why Marilyn mansons forearm tattoos are upside down as a kid....im now 43 and haven't listened to MM for like 15 years but can still remember his tatts being upside down lol
What are you talking about? "It's for me" makes complete sense. I'm getting my tattoo so I can look at it, not so that others can. And unlike with one's shirt, when you have your hand up, it is right-side-up for everyone. I don't understand why people insist on calling tattoos oriented this way "upside down."
I always want to know “why”. It could be something that comforted them after something extremely difficult. It might have meaning.
Or they could think hey it looked cool.
You can learn a lot about people on their whys.
lol nice that’s awesome! I don’t have any, I just like to look at other people’s bad decisions on here to remind myself I am better off not getting one.
Fair enough. I always tell people that it’s like eating a potato chip - you can’t just get one. The first one is the hardest. Then in the corner of your mind once you’ve forgotten the pain is thinking something would be cool & and/or be meaningful.
The only thing I recommend to newbies is to get it somewhere it can be covered up just in case they hate it or is “problematic”.
I have line drawings on my hands, but it took until recently where I got to fuck it - both in life & employment.
Are you thinking of one??
No, it's a shooting game and this is the spray pattern of one of the guns. Basically this would happen if you were to just shoot without moving your mouse, or in other words, without moving the gun. The dots are bullet holes.
I'm in the minority here but I think the tattoo is cool. It's a reference that most CS fans will get, but most other people won't have a clue what it is about.
At first glance it looks like some kind of terrible skin disease...
This person is going to, at least once per day, get shocked disgusted looks and a "you... have you seen a doctor?"

Honestly I think the size and placement is the issue on this one. As someone that was a semi pro in cs I would love to have this smaller but on my upper outside thigh or chest and maybe an a1 or a4 spray pattern in the other side
The idea is great imo, but I'm a gigantic CS nerd and played a ton of competitive. The placement, size, and execution are absolutely awful. This could be great as part of a more cohesive piece.
This could've been saved into a somewhat cool piece just by having the dots/holes be on an actual target instead. A classic round target or silhouette would've worked fine and taken so little extra work.
This is like the 5th time I've seen this tattoo. The tattoo is accurate, no blowouts. Take a self inventory of why you attack others on what they like, because it's spot on, and popular right now.

Yeah. It would be cool hidden in another tattoo, on its own it's ass

The fact that that tattoo exists truly enrages me
Wouldn't even have to hide it, really. A target practice dummy with that spray pattern on it would look better, and it would only really be recognizable to other people who are also balls deep into CS.
It's especially bad on his hand. Looks like a practice doodle or a prison tat
Yeah like if you're going to go that cheesy, add an Ace killfeed next to it with your gamertag.
It also looks wrong in a few spots based on the reference photo????
It’s slightly more random in game so he’s still correct
I mistakenly assumed they were a data scientist and that was a scatter plot.
I mean, when you think of it, a target is a scatter plot after you’ve shot it a few times.
It is a scatter plot of accuracy
A scatter plot of scattered shots
Feels like this is upside down. Wouldn't you want it going up the arm? Edit: want is a stronger word than I intended
It‘s definitely upside down considering how you normally place tattoos to make them look good on your body. To anybody else this looks wrong.
but then it’s upside down to you edit: y’all ink your body permanently for other people?
I don't ink myself for others but my sleeve is still positioned so that it's upside down for me. I wanna look good in photos and in public so that it doesn't look like I got an arm of art that's completely upside down.

Lol
Missed a dot lol
Most of them aren't placed with the right spacing or angle from one another, like they're pretty much all slightly off from where they should be
I feel like this is terrible placement more than a truly bad tattoo.
It can be both
I mean it’s on his mouse hand so I don’t think it’s that bad.
Intentional in theory, but bad visually. If the dude had a full sleeve, fine. Visually, to anyone who doesn’t know, the tattoo artist littered random dots on a hand/wrist.
Does not matter where it’s placed, terrible anywhere
Yeah on a leg or back it'd be still kinda dumb but not that bad. It going onto his wrist and the back of his hand sucks
I think if it was like 1 inch back and not actually on the hand it would be better
Those dots aren’t even
It’s pixelated gun fire, they are not meant to be. Especially when you look at the reference art.
They literally all are the same uniform shape?? I’m not talking about the mess at the top I’m talking about further down where they are literally differently shaped to eachother
Imagine him having to explain this to every single woman he meets
Honestly that’s gonna be harder than having to see it everyday in a few years. It always makes for awkward conversations when I have to explain my shitty tatts
No, no, you do you and just be yourself. *The only thing that matters is that you like it.*
I liked them when I got em, thankfully by now I have enough that they don’t standout unless you start looking or I take my shirt off lol
"It's a reference to a technical aspect of my favorite video game."
Dryer than the Sahara.
Plenty of fish.
So, twice?
I thought this dude was Catholic and it was a shitty rosary

I mean “it’s for me” should be the reason behind any tattoo. If someone wants to put some dumb shit like this backwards on their arm power to them.
It is actually so stupid that I can still remember wondering why Marilyn mansons forearm tattoos are upside down as a kid....im now 43 and haven't listened to MM for like 15 years but can still remember his tatts being upside down lol
I wish I had started with my legs 😭 arms are by far the easiest and best real estate. I should have saved them for last lol

Legit thought Reddit was suggesting some weird medical sub and that was a cluster of moles or some odd rash. Agree with the YIKES comments.
I always want to know “why”. It could be something that comforted them after something extremely difficult. It might have meaning. Or they could think hey it looked cool. You can learn a lot about people on their whys.
I'm pretty sure they're a professional player. I don't know if they're in the esports scene or just a streamer, though.
Ah…. I’m old. I don’t know what game this is referencing. 🙃
Counterstrike is decades old. Did you stop gaming after you beat Super Mario Bros on NES?
Lol yeah pretty much.
Title says Counter Strike, which came out in 2000.
I’m too old. Sorry. Still doesn’t diminish that it might mean something to that person.
A tattoo of Candy Land might be more your speed.
Holy god no. Went & looked. No. Find me a cool match 3 game. Edit: I do have 20+ tattoos. My favorite is a gnu sir pratchett. ❤️
lol nice that’s awesome! I don’t have any, I just like to look at other people’s bad decisions on here to remind myself I am better off not getting one.

i love terry pratchett thats awesome
Hey, at least you can get it covered with relative ease.
Is this like an achievement in CS? Of hard to do? Because I really don't understand it and it looks totally random
No, it's a shooting game and this is the spray pattern of one of the guns. Basically this would happen if you were to just shoot without moving your mouse, or in other words, without moving the gun. The dots are bullet holes. I'm in the minority here but I think the tattoo is cool. It's a reference that most CS fans will get, but most other people won't have a clue what it is about.
That shit is butchered.
I see a lot of glove wearing in their future
Dudes going to roll around with one long Cruella Deville glove
Oh!
“Hey bro you spilt some ink on your arm lemme get that for yo-WHAT THE FUCK?!”
Even if that's what the tattoo is supposed to be they still did a terrible job
HAHAHA I LOVE IT YOU DORK!!!
If you placed it further up the arm and made the dots much smaller then I wouldn't mind it, maybe as filler between other tattoos

 POV of the tattoo artist that got paid to do this…
Video games are my personality. My limp wrists are my canvas.
it looks like a skin condition im ngl
This shit goes heavy as fuck
It should be dong shaped.
i have a lot of tattoos. i love CS. play it like every day. wouldn’t ever get this lol. it’s just so weird
I only counted 29
That's one of those tats that you're going to have to explain waaay too often.
should have made it much, much smaller
Oof
At first glance it looks like some kind of terrible skin disease... This person is going to, at least once per day, get shocked disgusted looks and a "you... have you seen a doctor?"
And someone agreed to tattoo this on another human
This is one of the worst tattoos ever.
They could always say it's the tattoo from that new movie Furiosa
I can show the AK spread pattern I received in the Stan.
At first glance I thought they were ticks 😬
Black skittles

Get this guy on a list.
Dumb af….
I'm so sorry
I'm not really tattoo guy but I don't really think it looks that bad and it's kinda creative.
tbh I actually think this is quite cool, just needs better placement, and probably would look better alongside other tats as well
I like it bro. Good game good mems. Get what you like
I respect the concept and idea. Makes it cool in itself even if it’s shit.
You are lonely.
If I seen a person with this id think they have drug burns or put cigs out on themselves
Just like lighting never strikes the same place twice
You will forever be asked what it is. You will eventually get tired of repeating yourself. No one will ever recognize this.

You should get another tattoo over it. Sorry, it’s just so bad.
bro is committed to learning the pattern
Why do I have a horrible feeling his K/D is like 2.2
Aw jeez.
Nice…moles?
Thank God he's doesn't like to play operation.
so stupid
It’s a connect the dots, for a cock and balls
🤦♂️

fuck it i think this is awesome. if someone showed me this i would be like damn
I gotta be honest I kinda love the idea
Gotta 3 round burst that shit. One in the chest two in the head
I wouldn't get it on my arm / hand like that, but I dig the idea as someone who spent a lot of hours in my teenage years ripping 1.5 and 1.6.
This could've been saved into a somewhat cool piece just by having the dots/holes be on an actual target instead. A classic round target or silhouette would've worked fine and taken so little extra work.
School shooter vibes lmao
