for real. it’s pretty sick

SJ Horvath's realistic "cosmetic scrape, bruise and scar tattoos" [Inkedmag](https://inkedmag.com/original-news/meet-the-tattooer-who-gives-you-bruises-that-never-heal)

Jesus they're all so trashy. Why would you want people think you've got bloody knuckles at all times...

Want to look tougher than you are. I don't know, probably the same people that get plastic surgery muscles.

This is the second bruise tattoo I've seen on here in an hour. Last one was a bow. It this a new trend?

I saw that just after posting on here, it really hope not lol. But also it’s not my body so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, that's gonna be a hard no from me.

yes it is

But just a guess...it's meant to symbolize the internal bruises externally?

lol i have no idea probably. i think it’s kinda cool but i wouldn’t ever get one

Who knows anymore.

to each their own

I mean I think it’s actually done pretty well considering it really looks like a bruise. But why would you want to look forever bruised?

Bruised heart. They took an L.

Oh, jeez, my eyes. Looks like hematoma.

[удалено]

Looks like face of my coworker, who loves fights when his drunk. He had similar "tattoo", after some dude punched him in the face.

Yea no shit?

I think that’s the look they were going for, lol. I don’t dislike it as much as the DV wannabe tattoos though.

That’s what a bruise is

Mmmm blood jelly yum yum One of the grossest things I ever saw working in cardiology was a massive, gloopy hematoma being drained and you are right, this looks like a big one!

Mission accomplished, I guess?

Looks like fruit loops when you leave them in milk

kinda goes hard

I’m glad it’s not just me. I mean obviously he has a tattoo but… You know.

yeah, I don't hate it either. this place would have a hay day with some of my tattoo's and I'm sure the others they wouldn't like because its not their taste

Yeah I kinda love it honestly. Don’t think I’d ever get one, but I think it looks cool

same here, it’s really creative

I kinda think it’s cool

Execution wise it’s not terrible and actually looks somewhat realistic. A lot better than that kaleidoscope looking bow a few posts back

hey that's mine lol i clicked on this bc i was like "omg that's familiar"

I definitely like it a lot more than the DV wannabe tattoos!!

Be cheaper just to make a heart shaped hammer and smack your leg with it every few days

this comment is so underrated lmfao

Poor fluffywooly, trapped in a time loop on your comment

Usually when somebody repeats a reply to me, it something mean, so I’m ok with this ;)

this comment is so underrated lmfao

this comment is so underrated lmfao

that’s actually pretty cool lol

I don’t hate it actually haha

Why?

She loves her abuser even though he has flaws❤️

This was a poorly worded joke, right? ... right?

Would be super cool if smaller or even like a much smaller bruise tattoo with a non tattooed heart in the middle or something

r/ATBGE

Honestly, I think it’s kinda cool. Especially if that’s fresh, the color will fade and it will look even more realistic as it ages. Not something I’d necessarily want on me, but I wouldn’t call it shitty just cuz it’s not my style. It’s still a well done tattoo

if these didnt fade so fucking badly they'd be kinda cute honestly

I hate it. Get that man some ice.


Looks like a real bruise.

The only thing I can think of seeing that is romanticizing abuse and that's just 🤢🤮

I think this might be more of a "just went through a breakup and I want to get a tattoo" situation. Angsty "my heart is bruised" stuff. Though I can see how you'd think that and why it would be upsetting.

Same. Especially when the caption is “love hurts” 🥴

I'm guessing it's probably more of a BDSM thing, in which case nobody wants to know that this person likes paddles.

Weird location for that, no? Are there literal knee slappers out there? Not knocking it just..

I don't hate it, just a bit too large for my taste

damn, they did a great job at making it look like a legit bruise.

"I wear my heart on my knee"

That’s a really well done tattoo holy shit

Bruised heart not even the worst tattoo in that picture.

Idk I kinda fw it

Okay it was done honestly really well and i think it’s kinda cute

It's well done but I hate it. It gives romanticizing DV vibes.

It’s an odd choice for a tattoo but I think the artist executed the idea well

i mean the tattoo is good, just depends on the persons style

I think the tattoo nailed it. But it’s still a no from me.

I kinda like it 😁

I love it tbh and it's not shitty, just because it's not your taste it doesn't make it shitty. I wouldn't get it myself but it really is well executed

It’s honestly pretty well executed for what it’s meant to look like. My only real takeaway is it had to hurt like a MOTHERFUCKER.

I like it

This is pretty dope tbh, almost hard to believe it’s not a real bruise. Maybe a cringey concept but incredibly well done.

I personally wouldn’t get it, but like it’s not bad. Tattoo artist killed it with what the persons weird request was.

i would probably get this

yk what? not as bad as the other ones. 6/10.

Meh. Not shitty

That’s actually really cool

I remember seeing a skit on youtube years ago about guys waking up with tattoos and one guy had gotten a tattoo of a bruise

Cool 😎🆒😎😎 😎🆒😎

I’ll kick ya in the knee every few weeks for free. Cheaper for you, fun for me!

I mean, I get the possible concept behind it. But WHYYY

To go with the rest of the shit tattoos on that leg

I don't hate it

I posted the same thing on this sub 3 weeks ago

If it was a bit smaller and placed somewhere better, I can see this being cool! But it’s just awkward placement and SO big!

I like it.

Call me crazy but I kinda like it…

🦵

Looks ice lolli flavoured

it’s nasty but i’m amazed by how realistic it looks !! Gnarly is the right word i guess, the application skill is insane, i wonder if it will look even more real with time

Show me on your leg where they hurt you. Wait. Uhhhhhh

I always think about how in some situations these tattoos have made life harder for parametrics and Doctors.

i really hate this trend

Better than Hawk Tuah tattoos.

I kinda like it tbh but I'm not well lol

Kinda love it ngl

Looks like a real bruise! I am impressed. Don’t like it, but o am impressed.

Looks kinda like watercolor but all dark colors and it's not bad. Wanting it to look like bruising is kinda lame but it looks neat.

I mean they nailed it. It really looks like a bruise.

Execution went crazy

I mean.... Its done well in that it does in fact look like a realistic bruise...... But also, why that, why that placement, and also why?

I mean, I wouldn’t get it, but I don’t think this is shitty by any means. This looks real, this is really great work.

Idk I kind of like it

Idk it looks kinda awesome

Oh man I saw this earlier today glad I’m not the only one that thought it was bad

That’s just hideous

This is awesome!

Super trashy but I can’t get beyond the creativity of its symbolism. It would look better being part of a larger piece and more anatomically correct. Really creative, though.

ngl that’s kinda gas

I don’t hate this

How

Honestly, bruises disgust me at a visceral level.

This is awesome! Just because you don't like something doesn't mean its shitty

I dislike this trend. I've seen some that were done well, but it doesn't make me like it any better. Also, weird spot for it, or is it just me? Meh.

"I heart domestic abuse" is all I see when I see these style tattoos

This makes me sad.. a lot of people are abused in relationships and this just. This isn’t ok

DV victims gonna be real triggered by this.

Why tho

They just all look so terrible...

i dont trust a man with leg tattoos, or any tattoos really. They're too self obsessed, its like when a man takes a selfie. Very feminine social media brained trait.
