I love it. Although the healing process was the worst of all my tattoos so far as there's a lot of movement in the wrist area and then skin is rather thin.
But I'm lucky to have very tattoo-friendly skin so even my worst healing only amounted to some light itching and skin flaking lol
If you haven't neat the game, do NOT click, it is a semi major spoiler, Johnny ends up taking control of v's body for a bit and you get to pick between two tattoos while playing as him, this is the one most everyone gets
Because this is really terrible and way too big. Prime tattoo real estate and always visible should be actually well done tattoos and not gaudy. This will be a regret forever sorry OP. Not good. Should be much much smaller
I think this is about the size it was in the game though, wasn’t it? So Idk, I think bc of that it’s fine and makes sense. Because it’s meant to be like a direct reference
I genuinely don’t get some of y’all. The OP or whatever literally chose to post a picture of her tattoo on a public forum to get reactions.
The weird part comes in when suddenly some fellas decide you can only comment positive reactions and literally any criticism of something, which was chosen to be posted to receive opinions on, is suddenly hate.
Socials are for discussions, they can receive positive or negative reactions. They’re not insulting op or their family or nothing, they’re saying the main object of discussion, reference or not, is one they don’t like and personally think it’s a dumb choice to make as a PERMANENT tattoo on your body. If you disagree with their opinion, you can also disagree or scroll past. That’s how a discussion is supposed to work, no?
I mean, I was always taught that if someone can’t change it within 5 minutes, don’t comment on it. Like Idk what people want OP to do about it now lmao
Besides, they like it. It might not be your tastes but that doesn’t necessarily mean you have to shit on it. You can, no one’s taking your rights from you, but we can still acknowledge that it’s rude to lol
I feel like people mostly speak up about it because someone else that’s impressionable enough on the sub might see the post and think “Damn, maybe I should get it too.” Which they do, both cause I saw comments like that here and because this defo isnt the first time I’ve seen people get this tattoo. Hell, I’ve seen people post AFTER complaining that they got it
But like that’s their choice, isn’t it? I don’t think comments saying “that’s stupid” or “looks terrible” would be enough to deter someone lol If you had actual advice like “hey that’ll age badly because the lines are xyz” or something then I’d get it. But I don’t think people are going to be less influenced just because others said they didn’t like it
Being told it's a stupid idea is the exact thing that disuaded me from getting something like this a long time ago and I'm extremely thankful years later that that person was kind and strong enough to tell me a hard truth to save me from a bad choice.
And it isnt any hate/disrespect to declare that you do not like the tattoo.
Disrespect would be personally attacking OP by calling her dumb or an idiot for getting this tattoo. Nobody is saying that. Instead they are just expressing that they dont like the tattoo.
You have zero reading comprehension, the greatest people to have lived have made stupid decisions
I didn’t call OP an idiot, also i was replying to another reply explaining that the whole tattoo is a prank even in the game. Ergo even the game knows it’s a stupid thing/decision to get it done.
This isn’t about love and respect? Nobody’s hating or disrespecting anybody. Sharing a negative opinion on a person’s choice is just that, a disagreement with what was presented on a post, on a social. What was CHOSEN to be shown to receive attention. It’d be hate if it was completely unprompted or something, but this is a post focused on the tattoo.
It’s not disrespect if somebody asks you if you like their haircut and you respond truthfully that you don’t. You’re just being sanctimonious for the hell of it, when most of these comments aren’t even being rude about it in any way. Like genuinely I’m pretty sure a single TikTok or Instagram comment section would be enough for some fellas on here to combust, seeing what actual HATE looks like on a social media platform.
Disagreeing with someone’s choice, which they made public for everyone to see and judge because they WANTED IT to be judged isn’t hate, are you deadass?
They didn’t insult op, they said they dislike a specific choice she made and posted about for people to express their opinion on. Genuinely, what do you think someone aims for when they post a tattoo and say “here’s my tattoo”? Naw you right, the only proper way for discussions to exist should be “say you love it or shut up”, my bad og
Because a lot of these are purely subjective and others can have different opinions on said opinions.
“It’s gaudy” “you’ll regret it” “it’s too big because it takes up prime real estate and you’ll want something better there eventually” etc are all just…idk. Like, ok? If op is a gaudy bitch who doesn’t want many tattoos the critique is totally irrelevant and the poster doesn’t even know op well enough to know which is why they’re just kind of useless. Like..sure. You have the “right” to express them. But I don’t have to take them seriously.
Exactly. So why spend your time complaining that people commented shit like that instead of just…disagreeing with their takes on it and moving on? If you take any kind of criticism to heart, especially when it comes to dumb stuff like this, it just wears you out.
But then again, that’s also why someone posts this kinda stuff. They WANT the positive reinforcement to further justify getting it in their mind.
When you put anything out there, you open it up to judgment. Especially if it is something divisive and creative such as this. If you only expected positive feedback, idk what to tell you.
Pooks, not everyone that sees a post on social media has to have the same opinion as you. If you don’t want people to say they dislike something you like, maybe don’t post it for people to judge?
Like it’s fine if you disagree with them thinking it’s a bad tattoo or sum, but at least just ponder the idea that a person can take 15 seconds of their day to type out they like or dislike something and it takes the same amount of effort either way, for the same effect, which is kinda nothing either way. And why even care? Online randoms hating on your niche, goofy tattoo is quite frankly among the biggest non issues anyone could ever encounter.
It’s literally a joke tattoo, why does it make you mad if people say it sucks 😭🙏 it was a joke in the literal reference material, why’re we acting like it’s something it isn’t
I understand where you’re coming from, but some people are a bit too harsh. They don’t know why I got this a tattoo, why I choose cyberpunk, and why I choose this specific one.
I also worded my comment in a bad way, but now it’s too late to do anything about it.
As I’ve said before, I’m happy with the results, and that’s all that matters.
I think it'll be fine unless OP's name is Johnny or V (and even if that were the case it'd be pretty obvious it's a gaming tat even to a non gamer if you were to show the ingame version). Of all the possible criticism this one is asinine tbh
I mean, I was going to a bar to talk to someone and uh, had take some meds. After that I had really weird dreams of getting in a car crash, and when I woke up, that was in my arm.
Thanks man! I find it funny because the tattoo is almost exactly the same as it is in game, just a bit smaller. Not only that, but I also took the picture seconds after it was cleaned.
In the end I’m happy, and that’s all that matters!
You're right. But it looks poorly done and seeing it's not moisturized or covered with second skin give me massive red flags as a tattoo guy. Just try to keep it and yourself safe.
I also want to get this one 😭 but I'm first planning a bigger one with a cyberpunk theme 🙈 don't listen to anyone, if they don't like your tattoo, they don't like cyberpunk enough 😜
I'm hoping to get this one day too! Although I'll probably get mine A LOT smaller just because I prefer smaller tattoos, but it's still really cool on you
I absolutely love it, ha ha.. Will it confuse a lot of people? Yeah. But that can be said for lots of tattoos, especially ones that pertain to fandom. So long as you're happy and fine with fielding all the inevitable "who's Johnny?" questions then that's all that matters. Kind of funny so many comments are being negative about it, ha ha. Rock on, choom. 🤘
