[@SL-ul3yr]

I get the whole "tattoos should be readable to the audience" thing but people who get Stay Strong on their wrists really arent getting it to be read by others. There is no audience besides initially sharing the tattoo, it isnt meant to be casually observed by people walking past you like a t-shirt. It's meant to be more functional to her than to be an art piece for observers. She's feeling low, lifts her arms maybe about to self harm, and reads the message to hopefully discourage that decision. She already knows what it says but it's actually seeing it in that moment that matters to her.

[@holocene2164]

Well said.

[@Devilicious.]

Couldn't have said it better myself!

[@oreokitty333]

There's also something to be said for limiting the audience of your tattoos for you. It's fine if you want to design around a third party, but why should anyone have to? You see your body more than anyone else. You live in it. You spend every day in it. And at the end of the day, it'll be your eyes on your own ink. So who cares if you just want your tattoo to be for you, if someone else wants it to be for other people they're perfectly able to go out and get a tattoo that'll look good from other perspectives. Your tattoo, your skin, your money, your call.

[@slixameth]

oreokitty333 I get that but come on bruh. You want a tattoo on you that 1 person can read correctly versus the billions of other people on earth who won’t be able to see it. I get you don’t get it for other people’s sake but it still doesn’t make seems

[@oreokitty333]

@@slixameth I think it's just different strokes for different folks. I'm also the kind of person who, outside of a professional environment, really doesn't take anyone else's taste or thoughts about me into consideration. Maybe, maaaybe my significant other, if his tastes align with mine. All my body mods are on me because I like them, not anybody else. I think it really does just depend on the person, and outside of obvious technical stuff (like choosing a clean, professional studio instead of your friend's basement, considering your long-term job prospects and goals rather than jumping into a full face tattoo immediately, working with someone whose work is clean and well-done, etc.) there's really no right way to tattoo for everyone. There can be ink for the people who have it and the people who don't equally, is all. Like, I'm writing this KZbin comment for you and everyone else, but my personal journal is just for me, so it's written differently. Both are valid pieces of writing, just for different purposes. It's not a perfect analogy to my point, but it fits.

Yes there are exceptions to this rule like some of them said. But it’s not just a popular opinion. Truly it’s going on your body at the end of the day but these people are trained to give you the best tattoo possible. So if they give their input it’s not them being “snobbish” they are professionals.

I saw a tattoo translation video where the guy went to a studio in viet nam and asked for a tattoo that said 'asian women are beautiful' and they gave him 'white pervert'.

[@abbierodgers7623]

i think you cant really dunk on wrist tatts being "upside down" because it depends on personal prefrence and how you show your tattoos off. personally, holding my wrists out in front of me side by side feels awkward, but holding my hand up next to my chest/ head to show my wrist is more natural and gives you more opportunities to casually show it off.

Demi Lovato has a history of self harm so I imagine the tattoo is there so she can read it for herself when she is in a tough place mentally. I wouldn't view hers as a mistake. Think it's pretty clear it's how she wants it

[@riley66tennyson]

Exactly. You can even see her scars in the pictures

[@shinee-shawol]

I really appreciated the artists that said there was nothing wrong with the way Demi had their tattoo since it was for them. My childhood dog recently passed and, in memorium, I got a portrait tattoo of him on my wrist facing me. My dog and I were very very close. Honestly can't remember what life was like before him because he's been with me for so long. It's comforting to be able to look down at my wrist and see him. While he may look upside down to other people, he's right side up for me. I'm able to look at him and have him facing me. That's the only way it could work, in my mind. Got the tattoo both for him and me, no one else.

[@adelaymimorales367]

I love how triggered the girl got when she said "can we play that game white people"

[@bellamcfaul8259]

@Jess V Actually, when she holds her arms up it reads as “Strong Stay” because of the way she has it written. i’m not judging her for it, just an observation.

[@hiffahyphae6707]

[@chryslers.2207]

Is it just me but some of them seem awfully petty about the tattoos. "All this money and this is what you do with it" isn't appropriate when it's done when she was 16, and saying Lady Gaga deserved a wrong tattoo just because she didn't like her new song is... Very unprofessional. Celebrities are people too, and a lot of them work hard for their achievements just like any other line of work, just so happens losing your privacy and having to please their audiences earns them lots of money.

[@lightshow366]

Sarah Jeannina it’s two nouns, so it should not matter which comes first. Although the French are super protective of their language, and might shoot me down with some obscure 16th century rule. If it was rebellious flower, then it would be flipped, because it’s an adjective, then noun in the English translation.

[@carabbeanblablomst]

@@lightshow366 I'm french (so sorry if my english is bad) and I see no problems with ''rebelle fleur''. I was scrolling throug the comments to see the thoughts of other frenchs. I originaly thought it was a ''pun'' between ''belle'' and ''rebelle'', as if she was rebel but also ''again beatiful'' as if she has a period when she wasn't and now she is beautifull again. But if her grandma used to call her like that there is no interest to find a meaning and I think theses tatto artist shouldn't be so rude about everything Sorry i'm not good in english and the subject is difficult to explain .

I have the feeling that half of these people dont understand that u can also get tattoos for yourself and only for the meaning and not the estetics. Like WTF do I care if the text is to long so nobody reads it? Or that the text is upside down so only you can read it? (like some of them say) Also Lady Gaga could have easily corrected her tattoo if she wanted to by adding a line above, but she didnt so i guess its like she wants it to be.

[@josielupo3186]

And even then, I don't believe you can be technically correct or incorrect, Tattooing is art there are no rules in art and especially in something as personal as tattoos.
