Pretty sure this is ugliest tattoos, not win tattoos. You fail.
Oh, hush, even Jessica posted wins from time to time…
LOL! I’m now on the “hold posts for moderation” list.
You’re not alone, Anna. On a more upbeat note, however, UT itself is becoming its own meme: “Submitted by Everyone” –

What I don’t get is why everyone gives this a 4+ thumbs down. This is a great tattoo. Really I don’t think it deserves one.
I guess everyone thinks more is better, too many double negatives for people to get.
Maybe its me. Maybe I’m doing it wrong. But this is how I understood it.
tattoo=ugly=lots of thumbs down
tattoo=not ugly=few thumbs down
Wow. What happened the the old moderator (or whatever you call her – the one that posted the funny quips after each post)? She was the reason I checked out this site DAILY. No offense Nick, but you’re not funny. Seriously though, I want to know why she left? Nick, maybe you should read back in the archives and try to learn something about humor.
“Sir, in my heart, I know I’m funny.”
“You’re not funny. Ask Around.”
(Just to be clear, DTMB, you actually are funny.)
i love you. good morning, vietnam is an amazing movie.
Nick, do you mind posting a poll asking how many of these “Tattoo wins” people want to see on an average day? Or even the average week?
Thanks.
As a moderator I post based on what shares the best (i.e. what brings people into the site the most). The top shared (by a wide margin) of my less-than-week here were the following:

These ones that got comments asking “why is this here, I thought this was Ugliest Tattoos?” were the ones that incidentally brought in the most traffic. Of the three tattoos today, this one is already sharing the most. On top of all this, the infographic post in which I asked why you, the users, got tattooed provoked over twice as much discussion than any tattoo-related post that day.
This is an old argument. There is no way to win it though. I like the occassional well done tattoo as long as there are plenty of bad ones to go with it.
What you’re describing is the plan going forward
Sounds good to me. If you have good ones with a WTF element, it will blunt some of the complaining. Someone will still complain about it though.
Good plan. And hire a humor writer.
Exactly.

Fair enough.
So I guess that’s it. It’s been a good run, guys, I hope to run into you all somewhere else.
:<
Czeno,
I just don’t see this as being any different than what has always happened. Countless well done cartoon tattoos have been up. Calvin and Hobbs and Ren and Stimpy stand out in my memory as ones we’ve had that were awesome.
*Czerno
Yeah, but he’s saying the good or nicely done tattoos are the ones bringing the traffic or visitors, in internet corporate money speak, that tells me we’re going to be seeing a lot more of those nice pretty tattoos and a lot less of the truly awful that WE come here to see.
Off point, but I’d argue the ones I am referring to were several cuts above the ones linked above. They are ok, but not really outstanding.
Nick, if you are looking for a traffic bump, take the fetters off the subjects of the tattoo. Frankly, I seriously doubt that any employer would endorse viewing Failblog at work at all no matter the content. I know my company doesn’t. I assume that they monitor all internet usage. If they do monitor and you are spending much time here, eventually the site will be blocked or someone will give you a talking to. If they don’t monitor web usage, who cares what is put up? So, the not safe for work argument for censoring the tattoos is bs in my humble opinion.
Yeah, we want the c0cks and v@gs back! With wings!
Don’t even think about it. If I can write a limerick that starts:
.
There once was a guy named JackNick
Who thought that he’d try a new schtick –
.
I can d*mned sure rhyme “Czernobog” with “pornodog” so get your hand off that doorknob.
That made me laugh out loud “pornodog” *snicker*
Fine. I’ll stay ’til last call with the rest of you. I’ll need a bigger box of wine though. And a straw.
I just whanged off a length of garden hose with a hatched. Hang on – I’ll cut a hunk for ya.
For “hatched” read “hatchet.” “Hatched???” Holy Holistic Herp-A-Derp – everyone knows that Juggalos don’t come from eggs – they’re stillborn.
*hacked* or “whacked”
Sorry, “hatchet”
Make it really long so I don’t have to get up out of bed or even lift my head. kthanks. HA! I made a rhyme!
Yanno buyin’ those five litre boxes isn’t very economical. Most wineries will deliver full casks right to your door.
hmm. You make a good point, also, those round casks are are easier to roll from room to room. Although, I could just get a longer garden hose. Not as easy to get rid of the empties though.
“Make it really long so I don’t have to get up out of bed or even lift my head. “
.
I do hope you’ll take note here that despite the fact that this remark was easy prey – and I mean ripe-for-the-pickin’ – for some childish internet sexual innuendo riposte, that I’ve restrained myself.
.
Go ahead – ” I’ve restrained myself” was a free straight line.
I appreciate that, I would respect you a little less for picking the low hanging fruit, as Jessica would say. Nice how you just had to bring it up, and point it out, though. Since I am still in stage 5, depression, I am going to let it go. I’m not even going to comment on your line. Until I think of a suitable comeback. Since I am tired and crabby, that may take a minute.
Well that sucks. None of those tattoos are why WE come here. I guess it really is over.
It seems to be an idea borne of a meeting based strictly on financial outcome. It’s not as if the network of Cheez sites doesn’t bring in plenty of revenue. Are they trying too hard and considering going IPO? Hire someone who actually knows about running an internet business.
Basing future plans on a short-term “survey” of page hits is as stupid as can be. If they were more interested in the long term, they’d go back through the archives to see which ones brought the most visits. And it’s not just about visits, either; sure, you can attract a boatload of visits/page hits by posting something controversial. Those people may come back again to see what’s new, but when the scenery changes back and forth, those people don’t stick around.
Whoever it is within the powers that be that thinks this is like a reality TV show is sorely mistaken. Those are on the way out. It’s being a follower, not a leader. That’s how TV shows get cancelled, and that’s how web sites fall out of favour. There have been changing trends in tattoos as well, and if you don’t keep up with what’s in and what’s out, it further shows that your interest is strictly in business. But, you have to pay attention to what’s currently topical, not what was topical two years ago. Forward thinking, Cheez heads. Look up “diminishing returns” while you’re at it.
All of the above, which is so well said, I hope management take heed.
People don’t arrive here at UT by accident. At least more than once.
This isn’t a family site, it ought not even be PG.
Even among our most rowdy selves as regulars of UT, we do establish limits beyond which (should someone transgress) everyone will pounce and set things aright. This unique advantage, attended by adult regulars who care about the site and its content, is endangered as soon as incongruous plans to create more hits chase away core visitors. What’s left is a volatile periphery. And these depart as soon as nothing interesting is left said among the comments, regardless of what is presented as image post of the moment.
Maybe the regulars weren’t clicking on enough ads to buy t-shirts.
I like to see topic-related wins posted. This tattoo is definitely tops–and, yeah, I cried like a mo’ fo’ when I saw this flick.
Great movie. Good tat. I’m confused.
Me too. Gorgeous tattoo, though.
It looks to me like the balloons were done at a different time, by a different tattooist. The shading is considerably different than that done in the character (sorry, I haven’t seen that movie). It’s possible that the artist is accustomed to doing primarily black and greywash work, which is done with black only, which is diluted to produce the lighter shading, and doesn’t have enough experience with colours.
The backstory for “Up” was conveyed through the photos in the photo album belonging to the man shown here — old B&Ws of him meeting his eventual wife. It was very sweet. The colored balloons played a major part in the film. This is actually a nifty way of combining the two elements. (I’d recommend adding it to your Netflix queue.)
Jessica is gone?…. F this place!
That ship has already sailed.
That ship sailed, and this one is sinking, as the ones in power are busy shoving others out of the way so they can be assured of getting on a lifeboat. Nick, meanwhile, is caught in the middle and isn’t sure what to do, so he busies himself by trying to rearrange the deck chairs.
!!!
Well either we’re on the freakin’ Titanic and there are three thousand deck chairs, or JackNick had a tough week and has gone on vacation. Today: one semi-ugly tattoo; one Win That Wasn’t, and one rehashed non-tattoo that seems to have made the rounds everywhere on the internet except for disney.com.
You do realize that no one’s forcing you to look at this site every day right?
Nope, they’re not – but they are making those who enjoy(ed) coming here put up with a moderator who can’t spell simple words, can’t punctuate properly and who can’t even recognise a double negative – and who then hasn’t the b*lls to drop down into the ranks and accept responsibility for his remarks. A “moderator” who, when corrected, simply edits his remarks to make it appear that he made no mistake, and fails to even sheepishly say, “gee, thanks guys,” belongs back in Middle School – not representing an internet corporation like Cheezburger Network.
I really like this tattoo.
A tattoo “win” once in a while is a good thing, Even the former moderator posted good tattoos once in a while.
That said, those balloons look horrible. :/
I like seeing the good with the bad. This one is beautiful. (and I also cried like a baby during the beginning of that movie!!) Thanks Nick!
the old dude from up (can’t remember his name) is outstanding! the balloons look like they were done in a hurry. did the artist run out of time?
“the old dude from up” is Ed Asner.
Artistically this is great, I just think it will be one of those, regret it later tattoos.
Love it!
The little man is great, then the balloons look like they were done by a totally different artist.
I couldn’t care less about the commentary, I come here for awful, ugly, painful looking, drug induced, bet winning tattoos.
There’s a great page on facebook that posts up fantastic tattoos everyday. It’s not called UGLIEST Tattoos! Stop the madness!
I like this Tattoo Win feature! As horrifyingly excellent as the bad ones can be, there are some beautiful pieces of art out there, too.
Something about the balloons are making me not like this tattoo as much as I want to.
Most depressing “kids” movie ever. Even worse than Bambi; the depression goes on for half the movie.
Whine, whine, whine. Geeze, if it’s that bad try getting off the computer. So a win every now and again. So what? Are you folks just so addicted to seeing horrible things in life that the good has become completely anathama to you? Sucks to be you then.
I haven’t seen such a posse of whining-baby regulars since Jack at Photoshop Disasters sold the PSD site. We are also witnessing the same thing here that went on at PSD (and continues to go on months later): people going onto the comments to pronounce how disappointed they are and how they are going to leave. Hell, if you want to leave, don’t try to get some ego-boost by threatening to do so in the comments, just leave. Close the door on the way out.
To be absolutely honest, we are acting a great deal like a gaggle of teen-aged girls, aren’t we?
.
On a completely unrelated note, do these Mary Janes go with this jumper? Does the plaid make me look fat? I do look fat, don’t I? OMG I look like a big plaid WHALE! Wah, wah, waaaaahhhh!
No the Mary Janes don’t go with the jumper, but I would not wear plaid. You don’t look fat, it’s just not flattering on anyone. You can’t miss with a nice blouse and dark skirt, navy or hunter green, and the Mary Jane’s DO go with that. Hope that helps.
Stay away from pleats and please go back to being funny.
I agree the content of the posts is less, but does that mean the content of the comments has be in the sh!tter too? I recall most of the best strings were usually the regular posters going “tangental on our azzes”. Good stuff.
Regulars are not what brings traffic and they are less likely to click adverts. So it makes sense to want some tourist foot traffic, any business would.
Is it wrong to make the best of the new decor, even if we hate the paint?
Kitty – that’s all true (except for the part about the pleats which tend to slim the calves and ankles), but let’s face it – Lieutenant HaukNick couldn’t even buy a clue about what’s funny. When an ear tattoo with a couple little flowers shows up as a Feature on Ugliest Tattoos you can bet that it’s pretty much over.
.
Nick – if you’re reading this, I’m sorry it’s not working out for you. Your predecessor had verve, élan, panache and éclat – but most of all, she had charisma, and it’s not something one can learn. In the parlance of the entertainment world, she was “on” all the time. She did her job con brio, not con biro – so that here the sword of her wit cut down any pen. Now it appears that Cheezburger management wants Moderator-On-A-Stick, and I think it’s unfortunate that you’ve been thrust into the breach, because that breach in this case isn’t a gap – it’s the place one puts the projectile before lighting the fuse. I wish you the best of luck.
I guess it is sorta telling for me to have focused on how pleats effect the hips.

Half of what he posts is funny-less
But he says it just to get ad clicks
Jessica, stinging pen, miss you
So I sing this song of love for Jessica
Jessica,
JackNick
his humor of tattoo is flimsy-ily clumsy-ily…lacking
JackNick
Jessica, morning drinker, amuse me
So I sing this song of love for Jessica
When I cannot laugh my fingers type my mind
Jacknick is no substitute…
…for Jessica
Apologies to L&M
I think its adorable D: <3
OK, Love the tatt. And I, myself, appreciate a well-done tattoo WIN every once in awhile, too!
I do feel like the only person who thought the first 10-15 mins of that movie were some of the sweetest ever. I did almost cry, but as sad as Bambi? No effin way. At least in this movie, they had a long, wonderful life together….
Yeah – in Bambi, Godzilla’s foot crushes her before the first minute’s up.
That was my favourite part. Freakin’ smart-ass deer, harmlessly prancing all over the place with their adorable dainty hooves.
That deer was just askin’ for it.
Nope. There’s two of us.
Love this movie too.I make my kids skip the first 3 chapters on the dvd movie so i dont end up looking like a blubbering idiot. lol
You people really are a bunch of self important douche-bags. It’s a stupid blog about stupid tattoos. If you’re really that upset about a change in tone of the moderation you desperately need to spend less time staring at jpegs of other peoples tattoos and get out and do something else.
Douches.
Leave us alone. *rubs eyes with back of hand* WE are acting like “douches” because we are grieving. We will stop eventually. What is YOUR excuse?
It may be a “stupid blog about stupid tattoos” but most of us come here and enjoy communicating with other intelligent life forms, )which doesn’t include you) It’s kind of like sitting in a bar with your friends (assuming you have one) and BS-ing about things in general, could be sports, politics, what-have-you. We enjoy talking about tattoos. Don’t like the comments? Leave.
Yawn…
Tattoo win is welcome. If your day is improved by Disney princesses taking a penis to the ear then I think it’s your perspective which needs realigning, and not the poor moderator who probably works their ass off providing you with the pictures you jerk off too.. leave them alone!
..and I absolutely agree. Within the first montage I was a jibbering wreck. Bad times Pixar.. bad times!
How dare you, SIR! I will defend my love of Disney Princess ear-f*cking to the GUH-RAVE!
Indeed! Go Nancy! I also prefer Disney Princess ear-f*cking tattoos, and there is nothing wrong with my perspective. I also know how to spell, too, and use the correct to, too. We are sick to death of boring, plain, tattoos, the site is called UGLIEST TATTOOS, and we come here to see THE UGLIEST. I submit IT IS the moderators job, to bring them to us, and not this lukewarm, boring, cr@p. All day, I work hard, I do my job, then I go onto the internet looking for good, clean fun, and I have found it here. It’s already been inked onto some poor bastard, let us see it and have fun making fun of their poor (permanent) choices!
This is my sisters tattoo. Done by Jimmy Luna owner of Redemption Tattoo in Hollister, Ca
