Maybe it's like some local guy in SE Asia that got it? Like their equivalent to the westerner who comes back home thinking he has some profound statement in Thai tattooed on him, but it's really just gibberish from a takeout menu.

Should I stay or should I go now?

If you stay stay to it fever
If you go stay to it fever today

Or whatever the clash said

I have never once not agreed with the cat in this meme

If you get a tattoo, make sure you regret it for the rest of your life.

One Ygritte, please

Not even a single letter?

[–] YeahIgotskills2@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Though I personally am not a tattoo fan, I can appreciate that some look cool. However, the fact that there's a lucrative business in laser removal shows that a great many people seemingly do not appreciate the permanence of a tattoo, which shows an incredible lack of forward thinking.

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My rule is: I'll get a tattoo when I think of one that I'll still think is cool every decade hence.

I have yet to get a tattoo.

Though current candidates:

  • children's names
  • family crest
[–] YeahIgotskills2@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Honestly, family crest feels like a solid choice.

We don't have one so that's out for me, and although my kids are my world, I don't feel the inclination to get 'em tattooed on me.

Is the crest a classy design? If so I'd say go for it.

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah nah. They're the current pair of best ideas, but not quite enough to want them permanently embedded in my skin.

Also, tattoos (here) disqualify you from donating blood... so there is a significant downside.

[–] YeahIgotskills2@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

I get it. I have zero tattoos and plan on keeping it that way. For my generation that actually makes me more unique! Never understood the idea of having something permanently embedded, as you say, which is a good way of putting it. I can certainly appreciate the art, but I'd rather hang it on my wall that wear it forever.

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

that's why 14yos can't tatoo

~~Turbocharger~~ alternator life.

[–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 82 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I would never, even if my life depended on it, come up with the translation on the left.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If stay, stay 4ever

U go, do it today

👌

I never claimed the tattoo artist was a good coder.

[–] ferrule@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago

sadly, the code was AI generated.

Hey, let’s get just the letter U tattooed! Not “you,” just “u.” This is gonna be permanent, dammit! Also, don’t write “forever,” put a four cause that’s how I know it’s spelled from texting in 2005. Also, can it be made illegible? Excellent. Slap that shit on my body, pronto!

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Best, investment, ever.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is absolutely not a tattoo that will make you cringe every time when your age gets into double digits.

[–] tpyo@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I really doubt someone had this inflicted upon their body, voluntarily or otherwise, when they were >10

I see your point, but they were well into double digits when this happened

[–] PrimeMinisterKeyes@leminal.space 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nigel probably meant "triple digits."

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago

I said what I said.

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fever today! Fever tomorrow! Fever forever!

[–] ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Fever forever 
I'll be waiting 
Everlasting like the Sun 
Live forever 
For the moment 
Ever searching for the one

[–] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 19 points 2 days ago (2 children)

What’s that funny character that stands in for ‘for’?

[–] JaymesRS@piefed.world 24 points 2 days ago

A tall skinny 4

~~Ansuz - Freyr eye roll~~
Sorry more like Heimdalls Nauthiz....

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 day ago

Cats get this.

[–] Fleur_@aussie.zone 5 points 1 day ago

I assume it makes more sense from different perspectives

[–] ttyybb@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

The two I read are "If u stay, go. Stay do it fever today" and "if stay, stay fever u go. Do it today"

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I would have never gotten that.
