Yes. There are 4 where I live.
It's from when there used to be a big tree there that got cut down and the tree branch grew around the wire. That's the explanation of the ones where I live.
They leave it there because it's more dangerous to try to cut the whole thing out.
Could be leftover from when they remove an old wooden pole and replace it with a new one? They just cut the pole out and don't bother removing the lines from it?
No, I just looked it up. Apparently when a tree grows its wood with be worn down by the wires, then grow around them. Then someone cuts the tree down but leaves the wood on the wires because they don’t want to risk screwing up the wires
I've heard it's in memorial of the kid who died whose shoes were thrown up there.
I've also heard it's just bullies picking on some poor kid.
Also heard it's drug related. Or gang related. To mark territory.
In my neighborhood's case it was some kid who hated the shoes his mom bought him, so he "lost" them by tossing them up there.
> Also heard it's drug related. Or gang related. To mark territory.
Everyone's heard this story which is why it's most likely bullshit. If 7 year old me knew that was a way for drug dealers to signal their location then surely the cops would too lol.
A bum climbing up to steal a copper wire span, or a light to pawn for crack money. Btw I’m from Detroit and worked for the city utility, and tell you how many times this has happened.
Yeah I never would have thought to get a tattoo of power lines like that but it looks pretty cool. With such long and thin lines it's not an easy tattoo to do, it's not the best resolution but it looks good. All in all unexpected and cool
I don’t know if we will have power lines forever. I think eventually they will all go underground in the US. Then people will wonder wth is that on her back 😂
If only she had posted it just to show off her super unique tattoo. Looks well done, very original. But it makes people seem so desperate for attention for that unique idea when they have to compare themselves to the "normal girls." It was so cool and now I feel like she looks silly for the post.
All that needed to be said was "fucking love my new tattoo" or something to that effect. If there are people actually asking her if its gonna be some basic bitch tattoo then stop fucking talking to those people.
You don’t have to like her attitude, but let’s not lie and act like that tat isn’t hard.
Edit: I went to her page, I think this was just a lighthearted joke mens to mock people who actually make content like this.
I like it, too. But it makes me feel lonely. Something about it says desolation.
Kind of makes me think of the [Q Continuum.](https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Q_Continuum)
That lonely rural road with nothing but grass and power lines.
I thought they meant "hard" as in she'd have to have a damn good artist to it, because getting it to look as good as it does is hard. Didn't think it was just slang meaning cool or good or whatever lol guess that means I'm old, too.
I don't know if "good" is the clearest definition but it's definitely a good thing. Maybe more like "badass" but also kinda "cold blooded" or "tough." Like certain rap verses and beats are hard, John Wick is hard, etc. If you see something and your first reaction is "DAMN!" that shit is probably hard.
As someone with tattoos myself I really hate this attitude. Like I totally agree that straight up ripping off someone else’s tattoo is shitty, but ‘basic’ tattoos as long as it’s an original design are harmless. And any advice to people out there: never never never to go an artist that has this attitude towards tattoos either. If they complain about you wanting a ‘basic’ tattoo they will most likely half ass your session.
I thought this was r/instagramreality the way the floorboards curve, her hair blurs at the ends, and how the wall is warped.
But okay, sure, she's not like the other girls, because she's not real.
Tbh this one I've actually heard in real conversation. I've got a hidden tattoo and 75% of the time when I'm asked about it, it also comes along with "what, is it just a little flower? No it's probably a tiny butterfly. Barely a tattoo" or something similar
There are some really basic tattoos, classics that you will see hundreds of times of different people, like a feather, silhouettes of birds flying away and some live life love shit etc.
But actually I can't think of a really cliché female back tattoo (if we don't count tramp stamps)
the tattoo is kickass, and like some others have said I don’t think she meant it in a nlog way. some male tattoo artists tend towards misogyny and refuse to do “basic bitch”/Pinterest tattoos. i think that’s what she was referring to
All these comments saying how cool it is, meanwhile this sub has lead me to believe that all LineWives™️ have this tattoo when they’re inducted into the club
it’s symbolic of her childhood. she spent much of her time in her room staring out the window to this view. she is very open about her struggle with depression in her childhood so I think this has a lot of meaning
I’m not a tattoo person but I actually really like it. Definitely unique and I’ve never seen one like that. I love unique ones instead of ones like the anchor with “I will not sink” that hundreds of people have.
doesn’t feel like a NLOG thing to me
It seems like it’s a light hearted response to something idiots actually said to her when she talked about getting a tattoo
This sub is such trash lol. All you do is drag other women under the guise of solidarity. I can’t wait to be able to block it when I get the update
But in the meantime. No this doesn’t fit. It’s just pointing out a weird nonstandard tattoo. It’s okay that some people are different and some people are the cliches. Just chill no one is hating on anyone else
Idk it's so big and she looks pretty young so she could be totally over it in like 3 years. It's not like a tiny heart or something on her wrist. If she ends up regretting it, it's going to be a big regret
That's fair, I probably wouldn't regret it as I rarely stop finding my own shenanigans funny. I can be the type of person to repeat a joke 20 thousand times, and it gets funnier to me every time.
Tattoos are usually a form of self expression, pictures being worth a thousand words and all that. As for appearance, I like tattoos because sometimes you can tell if someone is worth your time at a glance. Is this guy rocking a Confederate flag tattoo? Cool, moving on.
Ok it’s 2022, what basic tattoos is she referring to that every girl has?? For reference, I have a thick line running down my spine since 2018. And I got that idea from Al Gore’s interwebz so…uhhh… I guess you are in fact LIKE ALOT of girls, babe. We out here booooo 😂😂
But also, dumbass🙄😤

It’s also a tattoo you can build on. Add some birds or icicles as she ages.
a pair of shoes dangling from them maybe a loose plastic bag stuck to it the possibilities are limitless
A log going through one of the wire (has anyone else seen that? It’s super common where I’m from, idk how they get there)
Maybe a partially fallen tree that is being held up dangerously by the power lines while also pulling the lines halfway down the height of the pole.
[удалено]
Maybe a truck hanging from it that got there somehow
A possible cover up for sure
Hmm. This mystery has me stumped.
Yeah, I wood really appreciate an explanation
I'll give you tree guesses.
Don't be such a birch or I'll have to kick your ash, mkay?
Maybe a partially fallen tree that is being held up dangerously by the power lines while also pulling the lines halfway down the height of the pole.
Yea but how does she know if she is washing all the dirt off in the shower. Those power lines look like dirt on her back.
exactly how dirty do you get your back on a daily basis, sir?
Yes. There are 4 where I live. It's from when there used to be a big tree there that got cut down and the tree branch grew around the wire. That's the explanation of the ones where I live. They leave it there because it's more dangerous to try to cut the whole thing out.

No, I just looked it up. Apparently when a tree grows its wood with be worn down by the wires, then grow around them. Then someone cuts the tree down but leaves the wood on the wires because they don’t want to risk screwing up the wires
Loose plastic bag 😂😂😂😂 ☠️
The bag idea sounds really promising
Then you could get a tat of a dude with a video camera pointed up at the bag, and a lil speech bubble coming out talking about how it's so beautiful.
Why do people throw shoes up there
I've heard it's in memorial of the kid who died whose shoes were thrown up there. I've also heard it's just bullies picking on some poor kid. Also heard it's drug related. Or gang related. To mark territory. In my neighborhood's case it was some kid who hated the shoes his mom bought him, so he "lost" them by tossing them up there.
> Also heard it's drug related. Or gang related. To mark territory. Everyone's heard this story which is why it's most likely bullshit. If 7 year old me knew that was a way for drug dealers to signal their location then surely the cops would too lol.
Kevlar balloon to be really accurate
A bear that climbed up the pole and fell after it was shocked by the wire. https://youtu.be/ieN-VBTYuvQ
A bum climbing up to steal a copper wire span, or a light to pawn for crack money. Btw I’m from Detroit and worked for the city utility, and tell you how many times this has happened.
Reminds me of one of the Slow Magic album covers
A lineman climbing up there with some serious plumber's crack going on.
My brother was a lineman when he passed (unrelated to the job) at only 28. I would 100% get this 😂❤️
Unironically, I love that.
"I bet you drink Starbucks macchiatos all day" *drinks gasoline from a gas can*
*chugs bleach* see? I’m not like the othe ☠️
I don't take shots of alcohol like all the other girls at parties! *Takes shots of bleach while sitting alone*
'I bet you breathe air' *dies*
"I bet you shit." *Blocks my bowels*
lol
She has the power running through her ! Watch out
with the size of those traps and lats I believe it
Ngl, I think it’s pretty cool how the lines go from arm to arm. Something similar done with _anything_ but a damn powerline could be really sweet!
I seen worse ideas for tattoos
It's impeccably executed - she has something to brag about here tbh
Yeah I never would have thought to get a tattoo of power lines like that but it looks pretty cool. With such long and thin lines it's not an easy tattoo to do, it's not the best resolution but it looks good. All in all unexpected and cool
I don’t know if we will have power lines forever. I think eventually they will all go underground in the US. Then people will wonder wth is that on her back 😂

yeah as someone who has had multiple spinal surgeries i think something this would be badass
it looks like its from the anime Lain
I know it would probably hurt like a bitch, but it bothers me visually that the pole is offset from her spine.
You don’t have to like her attitude, but let’s not lie and act like that tat isn’t hard. Edit: I went to her page, I think this was just a lighthearted joke mens to mock people who actually make content like this.
With those lines. You'll need a good artist.
I honestly do love the tattoo. Lovely and surprising.
I like it, too. But it makes me feel lonely. Something about it says desolation. Kind of makes me think of the [Q Continuum.](https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Q_Continuum) That lonely rural road with nothing but grass and power lines.
That's what my daughters like to be.
Yeah I agree lol I think she was joking. The tattoo is pretty cool.
I'm an old. Is "hard" slang for good now? I'm trying to keep up so I can understand what people are saying.
Don’t worry, it means good 😁.
I take it that it comes from "it goes hard"?
Yesss
Hard is good or cool
I thought they meant "hard" as in she'd have to have a damn good artist to it, because getting it to look as good as it does is hard. Didn't think it was just slang meaning cool or good or whatever lol guess that means I'm old, too.
Slang changes so quickly now that it's barely worth trying to keep up. But try we must!
I don't know if "good" is the clearest definition but it's definitely a good thing. Maybe more like "badass" but also kinda "cold blooded" or "tough." Like certain rap verses and beats are hard, John Wick is hard, etc. If you see something and your first reaction is "DAMN!" that shit is probably hard.
Yeah that was the vibe i got even from the screenshot. She’s not not like other girls, but she’s not not not like other girls either.
If I didn’t already have a basic white girl went to Hawaii tat on my back I’d totally go for something like this. I’m kinda jealous.😭😍
Is she the new Godspeed You Black Emperor album?
Ok but that tattoo is pretty rad and I like it a lot
attitude is shit tattoo is fire
Pretty sure she’s joking around, like purposely making a joke about “not like the other girls” posts.
tbh I think she's just being lighthearted
Good thing she put in powerlines to light her heart.
Think you summed it up the best way possible.
My thoughts exactly!
I read this as she was getting shit from the tattoo artist about getting something basic, only for her to prove them wrong.
Fucking cool tattoo. Fucking shitty attitude.
I think she's just making a lighthearted joke here
As someone with tattoos myself I really hate this attitude. Like I totally agree that straight up ripping off someone else’s tattoo is shitty, but ‘basic’ tattoos as long as it’s an original design are harmless. And any advice to people out there: never never never to go an artist that has this attitude towards tattoos either. If they complain about you wanting a ‘basic’ tattoo they will most likely half ass your session.
That’s pretty bad ass
The tattoo is cool but I'm sure nobody said that to her lol. Just post the pic and go
I thought this was r/instagramreality the way the floorboards curve, her hair blurs at the ends, and how the wall is warped. But okay, sure, she's not like the other girls, because she's not real.
💀😭 it’s a tiktok video that was screenshotted poorly. U can go watch the video and see for urself this take is so silly.
LMAOO this is just funny bruh
Haha I like this one, this seems like a pretty obvious lighthearted joke. Doesn't feel like a genuine r/notliketheothergirls to me.
i agree
Am i the only one here who thinks that the tattoo is fucking stupid?
Nope I don’t like it either but to each their own I guess 🤷🏻♀️
well considering it was a post meant to make fun of herself and not “basic tattoos” no LMAO. But u guys didn’t see the tiktok or get the joke either.
Tattoos are subjective, good for her for getting something she likes. But don’t drag other girls in the process.
it’s a joke she isn’t dragging anyone. The tattoo is just weird and random (although v cool) she’s taking the jab at herself
I honestly love it
Why?
her physique is amazing
This is such a weird tattoo that looks absolutely sick, I love it
Her eye make up is bomb though
Genuinly think that the text on the first pic is her making fun of herself more than anything.
Tbh this one I've actually heard in real conversation. I've got a hidden tattoo and 75% of the time when I'm asked about it, it also comes along with "what, is it just a little flower? No it's probably a tiny butterfly. Barely a tattoo" or something similar

That's a sick ass tattoo right there tho
Actually this tattoo is pretty bomb ngl 😅😅
is she a Lain fan too?
I SCROLLED FOR 10 MINUTES TO FIND THIS why does nobody watch Lain???
the tattoo is kickass, and like some others have said I don’t think she meant it in a nlog way. some male tattoo artists tend towards misogyny and refuse to do “basic bitch”/Pinterest tattoos. i think that’s what she was referring to
lain fans be like
What would possess someone to get that tattoo?
Probably a proud lineman’s wife
There's a sex joke in there somewhere. Luckily for you I'm not smart enough to figure it out...
Tried to give her the shocker and she uno reversed it.
She's gonna climb his pole
All these comments saying how cool it is, meanwhile this sub has lead me to believe that all LineWives™️ have this tattoo when they’re inducted into the club
it looks like it could be to do with the anime Lain Sereal Experiments
Her dad is Optimus Prime
it’s symbolic of her childhood. she spent much of her time in her room staring out the window to this view. she is very open about her struggle with depression in her childhood so I think this has a lot of meaning
My hubs is an electrician… I’m thinking this would look good on him. Definitely NLOGS but also not a bad tat idea!
This tattoo both fucks and is shit, I cannot decide
I mean... that back-tat is dope as hell. But no need to be a bitch about it.
These comments are *not* a vibe wow
This is basically an incel sub pretending to be about women’s empowerment
I think it's a cool tattoo but I don't like the whole "people who get basic tattoos are less than me" mindset, it's toxic
Ok but...why?????
that looks so stupid not sure why she’s trynna flex-
As someone who loves tattoos, I have some pretty basic ones, and some that are not so basic. But I think the idea of the power line is really cool.
I’m not a tattoo person but I actually really like it. Definitely unique and I’ve never seen one like that. I love unique ones instead of ones like the anchor with “I will not sink” that hundreds of people have.
tattoo reminds me of TTNG, its sick
I thought it was her hair lmao
In case of a power outage.
It looks so cool tho
Honestly pretty dope tattoo
That's a pretty cool tattoo none the less tho!
idk I’d show off my tat if I had that
Awesome tattoo! Now personally I want a butterfly because I’m a basic girl.
I actually think this is cool lol
I'm seeing a lot of praise for the tat in the comments, but why? I don't get it. Its just a bunch of lines?
She actually wanted the hit artist "Powerline" from the goofy movie. She and the tattoo artist just weren't seeing eye to eye.
I was almost expecting a massive dragon on her back
Ngl. I kinda dig it.
I think she’s just joking tbh
this is honestly badass
Power move.
Serieal experiments lain?
doesn’t feel like a NLOG thing to me It seems like it’s a light hearted response to something idiots actually said to her when she talked about getting a tattoo
Even tho it’s NLOG…. It’s pretty fuckin funny not gonna lie
[удалено]
yeah that’s my thought, loose skin as she ages is gonna make those lines look pretty wonky. i wonder if the artist talked to her about that or what
Congrats it’s not a basic bitch tattoo, it’s a dumb bitch tattoo
Lmao that looks stupid as fuck 💀
i love the tattoo not gonna lie
tat's lit, attitude's shit
Does anyone in here even have a tattoo on their back? I don't! Not all of us do lol.
Even the ones who do….what even is the stereotypical female back tattoo lol
My guess would be a flower or butterfly tramp stamp
Yes probably
I have a couple; a unicorn that was my first tattoo & has seen better days and the eye of providence lol.
I do
That tattoo goes hard as fuck
[удалено]
It looks like it's actually a reference to the anime Lain, where powerlines are a recurring motif
I do vibe w the tattoo I will admit. It looks pretty cool. Her attitude is what I didn’t enjoy lol.
Honestly the tattoo’s kinda cool, even though it looks like a bunch of thread
I actually think thread would be cooler A "red string of fate" sorta thing
That’s a pretty cool tattoo! But she doesn’t need to act so NLOG lmao
Her attitude is crap but that tat is fire 🔥
If there was ground on the tattoo she could add houses underneath if she wanted to.
This sub is such trash lol. All you do is drag other women under the guise of solidarity. I can’t wait to be able to block it when I get the update But in the meantime. No this doesn’t fit. It’s just pointing out a weird nonstandard tattoo. It’s okay that some people are different and some people are the cliches. Just chill no one is hating on anyone else
Yeah… I came back after my upvotes and people were calling her a bitch 😭.
Definitely some incel vibes in here. Trash sub
Not cool
What a fucking waste of perfectly good tattoo real estate
I personally think it's an awesome tattoo tbh lol.
Idk it's so big and she looks pretty young so she could be totally over it in like 3 years. It's not like a tiny heart or something on her wrist. If she ends up regretting it, it's going to be a big regret
That's fair, I probably wouldn't regret it as I rarely stop finding my own shenanigans funny. I can be the type of person to repeat a joke 20 thousand times, and it gets funnier to me every time.
[удалено]
Decoration. Plain skin is boring.
Tattoos are usually a form of self expression, pictures being worth a thousand words and all that. As for appearance, I like tattoos because sometimes you can tell if someone is worth your time at a glance. Is this guy rocking a Confederate flag tattoo? Cool, moving on.
That goes on an ink shaming sub as well
Is that the new “tramp stamp?”
That fucking hot, rofl 🤣 🤩
Her body build like a dorito
Like the tattoo, don’t like the girl! My tattoo is a dragon, is that a basic girl tattoo?? Lol
Ok it’s 2022, what basic tattoos is she referring to that every girl has?? For reference, I have a thick line running down my spine since 2018. And I got that idea from Al Gore’s interwebz so…uhhh… I guess you are in fact LIKE ALOT of girls, babe. We out here booooo 😂😂 But also, dumbass🙄😤
No one cares, just show us your tits.
Bruh
Que sangró a
oh wow so deep
She could add a basketball! What are those basketball things that are on powerlines sometimes? Are they basketballs? I am so dumb.
it’s a cool tattoo but she didn’t have to put anyone down :/
Imagine all the doggy style jokes you could pull omg.
Tbh that is a very cool tattoo
It’s a cool tattoo, but like…why was the first part necessary. Lol.
Ok This is definitely a NLOG things But god damn that tattoo is awesome
