slang terms that make you cringe?

[Coastline Tattoo]

guns "get tatted up"

[jetwash]

New guy started at work recently, saw I was browsing LST and said "yeah, I saw your ink..." and I just died.

If you refer to your tattoos in any way as an "investment" you're even worse with money than I am, and I'm bad at money.

an investment huh? HA HA HA, "man, I hate to do it, but i'm gonna sell my 2 forearm tattoos to pay for my new back tattoo"

Good thing that you got nice forearm tattoos that appreciated in value! Because I've spent all this money on tattoos and I can't sell them for shit.

[Gregor]

an investment in cadmium

[CultExciter]

The depreciation in value sucks for the first 25 years, but then you get exposure on the Vintage Tattoos instagram.

[bongsau]

the latest term that is being used way too freely ..."Gap Filler"

Dear tweeners on Instagram:

I'm sorry if you can fit a palm sized tattoo in between 2 other palm sized tattoos it is not a "gap filler". It's a tattoo. It's just a tattoo in between some other tattoos.

I can't stand hearing 'Trad' 'Neo-Trad' 'Jap' or 'Trad-Jap' (I've heard this more than once) I also can't help but cringe when I hear 'I recently got inked' or 'Nice ink' That shit just irritates the shit out of me!

[Gloomy Inks]

I have a really frequent client, female, who comes in and goes, "So. I want a cutie mark."

I looked at her and all that could go through my mind was, "You can`t say that in a tattoo shop..."

It hurt my mind.

Interesting to hear politically correct nomenclature creep into tattoo culture. I guess it was inevitable.

People who call tattoos on women "tramp stamps" & think they're using a hilarious and novel insult are the best. You got me pegged, dudes. I am SUCH a ho.

Women with lower back tattoos are tough as shit...that spot was one of the worst and on par with the back of the knee.

[polliwog]

Lately I've noticed that people are expanding its usage beyond just low-back tattoos to legs and arms and whatnot, because people are both stupid and love to insult women, apparently.

[Fala]

Skank flank is another one @polliwog - makes me cringe.

Ugh, and tatt... Tatt makes me crazy.

The only upside of this being such a common derogatory remark is that now, since I have a handful of tattoos, I get to verbally eviscerate any untattooed idiots that say it when I'm around, and they can't say shit.

Never had anybody suggest it about me, personally, but my friends do have excellent survival instincts, as a rule.

[NihilNovum]

Heh, i give my sister shit about having a tramp stamp (lower back tribal) all the time but she knows im not really serious im just being a shit.

Mostly agree with whats been said in the thread but i dont get the dislike for "trad." Its just short for traditional, whats the problem? Oh well, i try not to care too much about things like these cause they really dont matter and i have plenty of things to get mad about as is. Doesn't mean hearing "sweet ink brah" wont make me immediately think less of a person though...

Typically the slang terms are coined by those who aren't tattooed in order to somehow make themselves feel better (superior?).

And from game show hosts like Ladyface Navarro...

The latest is "Under boob". It's called the sternum, idiot.

So my thigh tattoo is "under sack"?

I'm getting too old for this shit...

[spookysproul]

For the sake of discussion, that area is distinctly below the sternum and should probably be referred to as the diaphragm. You could also go with xiphoid process if you really want to stick with sternum terminology, but it's still even below that.

Alrighty then. Under boob it is! :cool:

What if it extends all the way across the lower bra line? Would you not consider that "under boob"? I get that the phrase sounds kooky though.

[ToxicBarrels]

I would call it the upper belly :D jokes

[Rustyrider]

Haha @ ToxicBarrels!

I have to agree - I don't care for tatts, or leg sleeve.

[Von Poncho]

Bloody hate the term "tattys" It sounds so juvenile. "Hey man wanna hook me up with some tattys?"

[ApprenticeLife]

I'm inking tatts all day with my tat gat. Zapping Sacred G on underboobs, tramp stamping tatts on canvases, guns buzzing... I'm an inker.
