I didn’t think we should tattoo people with symbols who are mentally disabled, but then again I’m fine with them doing it to themselves

Another "Only in America" moment.

[–] HAL_9_TRILLION@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Guns should be more tightly regulated in this ridiculous country, but I like guns. However, I don't make anything my entire personality, including guns. It's a sign of a weak mind.

Tattooing ARs on your eyebrows is a pretty good sign that guns are your whole personality.

[–] n0clue@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Those are M16s, ARs don't have carry handles, not that it really matters.

[–] emptiestplace@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I admire not making anything their entire personality people.

I hate it when my eyebrows declare war against each other

[–] Thrashy@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

"ArE yOu TrIgGeReD, LiB?"

"No, just feeling pity for you in spite of myself."

[–] wellee@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is like a crappy edgy tattoo a bad rapper gets lmao. Who let grandpa out without supervision!

[–] sigh@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

he should get 'DAMAGED' tatted on his forehead

[–] _dev_null@lemmy.zxcvn.xyz 4 points 2 years ago

No ragrets.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So everyone can see in his face that he is a potentially armed and dangerous nut job. It is actually a service to society.

[–] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

A coward

Ftfy

You just don't see people like this outside the US. Makes ya think.

[–] pete_the_cat@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

There are definitely ridiculous people all throughout the world, the US doesn't have a monopoly on them. We just have more people than like 95% of other countries (IIRC only China and India have more people) and those people happen to have wide access to tech, and money to do dumb shit like this.

[–] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I just mean folks aren't as gun-crazy in Europe or elsewhere as Americans. It's odd.

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 6 points 2 years ago

To a degree, but also I don't regularly see old men with any kind of eyebrow tattoos in Europe supporting, say, cars or woodworking etc.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My guess is that WWII caused pretty much everyone in Europe to experience how horrible machine guns are for both the winners and losers while it still remained a bit abstract for those in the Americas.

Also, USA hasn't been screwed over by an arms race yet, while Europe has.

I think a lot of it is just reactionary thinking to gun control, exacerbated by the people pushing gun control doing a terrible fucking job of it and feeding the outrage loop.

Someone pushes some dumb law that makes it so only the rich can own a certain accessory or whatever, gun nuts get big mad, it solves nothing and school shootings continue because it did nothing but annoy gun owners while everyone refuses to address the socioeconomic and cultural roots of domestic terrorism in the first place because that's dangerously close to S O C I A L I S M (aka the government doing stuff)

Toss this all into a general culture that views overthrowing an unjust government as like, the coolest thing you can do, because it is, and you get loser grandpas who maybe once got to be a slave soldier in Vietnam getting gun tattoo eyebrows.

[–] Rinox@feddit.it 4 points 2 years ago

I don't know, have you seen the tattoos on Salvadorian gang members? Now imagine some of them surviving till they are 80.

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I applaud this dude. He's got balls. He's telling us up front that we won't have to respect any opinion he'll ever share.

[–] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

It would've been easier to just tattoo "I'm a coward" on his loaf

[–] Kyatto@leminal.space 11 points 2 years ago

looks like the same person whom a decade ago would tell young people they would regret their tattoos when they are older.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I wonder what this guy does for work.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Boomer

Work

Choose one

[–] sigh@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

bold of you to assume he goes to work

I could imagine he’s the greeter at ARmart or sits around and rents places to young people who he considers lazy.

[–] gennygameshark@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Forgot the bullseye in the middle 🎯

[–] CountVon@sh.itjust.works 26 points 2 years ago

Reminds me of this classic.

Social media image post of a woman with a target stuck to her forehead. Poster: "This is how it feels to be a white conservative woman." First reply: "i actually love this metaphor because it's a fake target and you've put it there yourself."

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's like if your grandpa joined a prison gang.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

My grandpa was in a prison gang. His tatts were all non-consentual tho

[–] Gilles_D@feddit.de 7 points 2 years ago

Guns don’t kill eyebrows. Tattoo needles do.

[–] csm10495@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

Uncle Leo changed a bit.

[–] ji17br@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This has gotta be peak ATBGE right??

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I feel like this might have happened while doing chemo for cancer. Old mate probably thought he was gonna die, so was like "Fuck it, we ball!"

[–] badbrainstorm@lemmy.today 3 points 2 years ago

This is MGK's grandpa, MGG

[–] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Those aren't eyebrows: they're cuts.

[–] Digital_man@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

Brows of meth.

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

How could we not? Maybe we need a red circle to help direct our attention further

[–] Sticker@lemy.nl 1 points 2 years ago

Well, disguising the lack of eyebrows with a tattoo is not a bad solution. However, it is unclear why the choice was made in favour of an image of an automatic carbine.
