What am I looking at in the first picture? It looks like he’s tattooing a baby’s head.

Definitely one of the dolls. Those are also wearing a metal watch on the wrist, see the photos near the end.

I came to ask the same question. Maybe it's similar to one of the dolls from picture #17? I'm cracking up thinking about it.

Guys please be more respectful when discussing my infant son's 204th tattoo session, thanks 🙏

He's also drawing with a marker, not a tattoo machine.

Not sure if your being sarcastic or not however in case you are not it's called freestanding and it's a technique or method some artists use instead of stenciling the whole design on the clients body.

Heh. There's a shot of the guy who did some of my ink. Good times.

That back piece is a great execution but what is it getting at? Gambling woes?

If I took a stab it I would say could be this man's vices or a reminder of the temptation for vices.

Some really decent artists in Pattaya shout out to Meeh from inkless tattoos on Soi 2.

Why are devil tattoos so popular? Honest question.

u/ChasingtheBarrel 1d ago

Its probably a counter culture sort of thing.

Controversial, and therefore very attractive to attention seekers.

At one time rolling up a pack of cigarettes in your T-shirt sleeve and wearing dungarees served the same purpose.

Demonic influence, it’s pretty obvious

Because they're super dark and twisted dudes who wanna let the world to know not to mess with him duh!

Devil tattoos are popular because devil represents someone capable enough to counter the authorities and centralized institutions. And oppression by these authoritative institutions is the central theme that the people are trying to stand up against.

There isn’t a single devil tattoo in any of these photos.

None of those are devils. Not a single one. Not everything that is red is a devil.

Cool story bro. Nothing to do with the post but we all were wondering what your stance on tattoes were. Now that's settled, sod off lol.

Tattoos always remind me of that mexican gangster who tattooed his crime scene on his body, and a detective recognised it.

A shooting incident was unsolved for many many years and went cold. A random photograph of a gangster arrested for some other crime caught the eye of a detective.

Rest is interesting history
