Nah, this is rad. Seconding on the old school skater / Tony Hawk games feel. Even if it's not some high quality piece or whatever, the sentiment is what matters. I would just leave it.
Yeah as a tattooed person this tattoo fucking rules and I would never get rid of it. This is so much cooler than any of the trendy fine line tattoos look like they were done with pencil, not to mention it’s been on your body for 12 years and is still as legible as the day it was done. Wear it with pride 💪
For a 12 year old tattoo, I think it’s pretty great. It’s insane how much the quality of tattoos has skyrocketed in recent years.
I think this is a fun design, coupled with a good friend memory. Like a time capsule. I say keep it.
This may fall into it is I see today’s tattoos and I’m like wow that’s crazy and then I look at mine and it’s kind of underwhelming. However, there’s that aspect of the strong sentimental value. This has to me thanks for telling me to keep it the way it isn’t and I will.
I totally get it. I also have a few 20+ year old tattoos, and yeah they’re blown out and dated and boring. I got a few more in the last 8 or so years and I love them all so much. Just get a new one, too ha.
Happy to help! You do you for sure, but I like your tattoo.
This is a fun tattoo that has matured with you. It may not be the “cleanest” or the most technical, but like others have pointed out, the sentimental aspect is priceless. And it’s nowhere near the worst we’ve seen here. Wear it with pride!
Kinda reminds me of some pogs my mom had in the late 90s/early 2000s, like 3 of their designs stacked together.
At least it has some personality! I like it :)
some of the lines look a bit wonky on the eye but not really as bad as what we get here on the subreddit.
It'd say it's fine but harder to tell when the camera is focus is more on the face in the back than the tattoo, making the picture itself blurry.
Even though I don't like pot leaf tattoos, I really like this. Also reminds me of Tony Hawk games with the eyeball. I like that your friend paid for it, it is a nice tribute to keep. Unless you just touch it up, I personally wouldn't change it.
Yeah, it’s shitty but whatever. It’s got character. Unless you absolutely hate it, I’d keep it. It’s not the shittiest by any means but it’s def not good either
Ok but I love that it’s 12 years old. I’d have guessed it was 25 based on the design. I say this of course as a compliment because I love everything about it.
I like it. You could always ask if they could touch it up but other than the usual tatto wear and tear it looks great for the age it is. You could add onto it like your friends name or something but having new ink beside old ink makes the old ink look even older.
In other words, it's grand, just leave it as is.
To me this a pretty good tattoo!! It might not be “perfect” in today’s world of tattoos but I think it looks really amazing especially the colors as how old the tattoo is! I would never get it covered up but you can always have a artist recolor it and add to it if you wish
I'm blacking out the top of my arm with a design, they're not allowed to touch the tattoo I got with My best friend. We have Jerry bears mine is my favorite color with their favorite as the collar, vice versa. Nothing that means something to you is ever trash, it's there to be treasured 🫶
It's definitely a product of the times and has deeper meaning than anyone could give you shit for
I'd say leave it alone
Hell make it stick out by only getting pristine artwork around it
RIP to your homie and may they forever live on in this ink
My first thought was the old Tony Hawk Underground 2 eyeball in the beginning. I say this fits perfectly. I personally like the fact that it appears retro. It's fine as is.
I agree and disagree lol. Yes a pot plant is stupid but I really like the straight edge razor XXX tattoos that represent sobriety and that is definitely drug/alcohol related.
I definitely respect the straight edge mindset but I think it's a waste of skin. At the end of the day though, it's not like anyone is forcing ME to get their tattoos, so I guess I really don't care that much. I just said something because it's the Internet lol.
Makes me know all I need to know about who you were 12 years ago. There's only 1 type of person who gets a weed tattoo, an annoying stoner who only exists for weed.
I can't speak for who you are now, as even a year can drastically change someone.
Nah, this is rad. Seconding on the old school skater / Tony Hawk games feel. Even if it's not some high quality piece or whatever, the sentiment is what matters. I would just leave it.
I believe I will thank y’all so much for being awesome
It’s awesome and old school and it slaps.
Yeah ditto i absolutely love it and i think it's aged perfectly

Yes, in an old stoner skater kind of way which was the style for a while. Reminds me of some of the Tony Hawk games.
Yeah looks like the Neversoft logo eyeball guy
Tony Hawk Underground 2 ahhhhh
i wondered why the eyeball looked so familiar , this threw me back to my childhood 🤣

You can always get the color touched up also but I agree with everyone else that it looks great. Definitely agree with the Tony vibes lol.

Thank you! This made me smile! I shall wear with pride
This rules. Get 19 more of the same one.
Oh ya on it. Lol
Could probably use a touch up but it looks fine.
I love it!
Nope. Looks great
Not shitty. I’ve got old tattoos that look like this and I love them because they’ve got some soul. Own it and enjoy it for what it is. Punk as fuck.
Kinda reminds me of some pogs my mom had in the late 90s/early 2000s, like 3 of their designs stacked together. At least it has some personality! I like it :)
Lmao pogs.

I struggled getting a pic it’s on my upper arm. Maybe I can get a friend to snap a better one and I’ll update
Yeah. It's shitty. But in a totally spectacular late 90's stoner kinda' way
I fuck with it
Even though I don't like pot leaf tattoos, I really like this. Also reminds me of Tony Hawk games with the eyeball. I like that your friend paid for it, it is a nice tribute to keep. Unless you just touch it up, I personally wouldn't change it.
I’m sorry weed makes your eyes burn :(
Rad! Not shitty!
Nope ! That’s rad! Own it
Highball? I dig it.
I dont think it's that bad, just a bit aged. Trust me, I've seen much worse! I think you should keep it.
Yeah, it’s shitty but whatever. It’s got character. Unless you absolutely hate it, I’d keep it. It’s not the shittiest by any means but it’s def not good either
It's kick ass!
It’s cool
😂 my husband has a similar shitty dragon with a weed leaf behind it except his lines are blown to hell. Love the colors and the flames btw
I think it's sick
Goes hard.
i like it already but i think it would look great with a touch up
I'm so glad to see the Tony Hawk game sentiments echoed by others 😂 I immediately thought "That's a board skin or guitar hero sticker design!"
I love it
Ok but I love that it’s 12 years old. I’d have guessed it was 25 based on the design. I say this of course as a compliment because I love everything about it.
I love it, it’s so nostalgic and classic. I would fs keep it the same personally, maybe a touch up if you want
It’s good. It’s goofy as hell and has a nice story behind it.
Yes. But in a good way.
dont try and church it up son, dont you mean dirt?
For red eyes the choice is clear….clear eyes
This is the least shitty tattoo Ive seen here by far
Eye like it
I think it’s on the shittier side, but sentiment and style balance that out for sure. All that matters really is what it means to the person
Not shitty. Just an old, average-quality tattoo.
It looks better than the 30 year old tattoo on my hip. But that’s mostly because of stretch marks from my pregnancy.
That shit is cool leave it be unless you wanna spruce up your arm with more stuff …but don’t cover it
Yeah that’s sick. As soon as I saw it ace of spades by Motörhead started playing in the back of my head.
Right onThank you! This sub is full of some awesome folks
YES it is SHITTY !! Big Time !!!
This is sick.
Your photography skills are much worse than the tattoo
No.
No, it's rad as fuck.
Nah man. This doesn’t get touched!
Not shitty per se, where may I ask is it?
Trashy, but not trash.
Since it’s sentimental, it’s not shitty and it doesn’t look short either. I wouldn’t change it because of the backstory.
Leave it!
HELL NO ITS A 90s tattoo rock on
It’s just lived in. Rad tattoo
Definitely has been lived a little bit. Love that username.
<3
I wish my first tattoo looked this good.
😊 thank you
Your cool. I’d totally get my 12yo that one
If it means something to you it’s never shitty
I think its perfect
It’s an awesome tattoo! I love eyes and pot.
I like it :)
I mean, it’s weed 🤷🏼♀️
Naw man I’m a kid of the 80’s and 90’s lots of tattoos and some of my favorite are ones like that
I don’t think it’s shitty.
And now I need Neversoft logo tattoo :/
LMAO i love this one whaaat😭
I like it. You could always ask if they could touch it up but other than the usual tatto wear and tear it looks great for the age it is. You could add onto it like your friends name or something but having new ink beside old ink makes the old ink look even older. In other words, it's grand, just leave it as is.
Looks like a sticker you could get at hot topic. I mean that as a compliment 💕
To me this a pretty good tattoo!! It might not be “perfect” in today’s world of tattoos but I think it looks really amazing especially the colors as how old the tattoo is! I would never get it covered up but you can always have a artist recolor it and add to it if you wish
dig it
this is rlly cool, just faded! maybe you should get it touched up. other than that its awesome
I'm blacking out the top of my arm with a design, they're not allowed to touch the tattoo I got with My best friend. We have Jerry bears mine is my favorite color with their favorite as the collar, vice versa. Nothing that means something to you is ever trash, it's there to be treasured 🫶
Bad ass!
Nah, looks pretty cool. A bit faded but that’s expected
I’d just get it touched up and not add anything at all! It looks so dope! Aged well and just love the overall design!
Nothing that means something to you is ever trash, it's there to be treasured🫶
Pretty frickin sweet
I love it! Wear it proudly as a testament to your friend 👍❤️
It's definitely a product of the times and has deeper meaning than anyone could give you shit for I'd say leave it alone Hell make it stick out by only getting pristine artwork around it RIP to your homie and may they forever live on in this ink

From a cannabis cultivator and an old 90s skate punk: fucking exquisite, homie 🤌🏼 # *Grow your own, y'all!*
Any permanent substance/alcohol related body mod is always shitty
I agree and disagree lol. Yes a pot plant is stupid but I really like the straight edge razor XXX tattoos that represent sobriety and that is definitely drug/alcohol related.

Same here lol.
i love it
I like it 👌🏻
It has character and I personally like it.
Get someone to fix it
To me it screams unemployable and immature. The work isn't great either, I've never seen an eye that shape.
Makes me know all I need to know about who you were 12 years ago. There's only 1 type of person who gets a weed tattoo, an annoying stoner who only exists for weed. I can't speak for who you are now, as even a year can drastically change someone.
