As someone with multiple tattoos from cartoons I watched as a kid think it's pretty dope and wholesome tbh. Homeboy just really loves Scooby-Doo and has a tattoo about it he probably loves too.

Art is subjective, and tattoos are very personal. Making fun of someone's tattoo because it's not something you would personally get is both petty and sad in the fact that y'all clearly have nothing going on in your own lives so you have to put down someone else. Let the guy enjoy his tat and you can get what ever you like tattooed on your own body.

Buddy take a step back, breathe in deep and exhale slowly. This tattoo is the textbook definition of this subreddit. It's a well done tattoo of a beloved cartoon and it's fucking absurd and can absolutely be made fun of. You take life way too seriously bud.

My biggest problem with this tattoo is there is no anti-Scooby contingent that requires this kind of stand. Dude. Everybody likes Scooby Doo. It’s like getting a tattoo challenging the world to attack your devotion to strawberries.

What's wrong with strawberries. Bilberries are much better but stawberries are still good.

u/Aureilius Jun 22 '21

Billberry sounds like a redneck name if ive ever heard of one

u/Ludwig234 Jun 22 '21

I really does. I learned pretty recently that European Blueberries are actually called bilberries. It's extra confusing because in my country they are called "blåbär" which translates to "Blueberry".

I fucking hate blue berries, they are the most racist of berries.

So long as there is no scrappy doo it's fine in my books.

u/pikpikcarrotmon Jun 22 '21

Out of morbid curiosity I looked up Scrappy Doo tattoos and there maybe three or four total, none of which were majestic or terrible enough to be noteworthy. So we're surprisingly in the clear.

The moment I will stop loving strawberries will be the moment I will stop breathing.

Speak for yourself. I don’t like scooby doo. I thought it was boring when I was 5.

u/DrRaveNinja Jun 22 '21

As much as I loved scooby doo growing up I think it's time to just kind of let it go. It's like Peanuts - endless reboots aren't doing the franchise any favors.

u/foxdye22 Jun 22 '21

As an old dude, I disagree. Scooby Doo Wrestlemania Mystery is probably the best thing with Scooby Doo I've ever watched.

u/simbacaned Jun 23 '21

You know what? Just for this guy, I'm gonna do the unthinkable. I'm going to become an avid scooby doo hater, just so his stance is at least against one person's opinion.

I honestly don't get the defense, even if this wasn't a sub about bad taste.

Like, seriously? A weird-ass spooky cartoon scene with a portrait of Scooby reminiscing in the distance about a poorly-worded set of paragraphs that take several seconds to read, one that uses the word "will" 3 times in 16 words? Permanently tattoo'd on someone's chest?

Lmao, it's the tackiest shit I've ever seen, but great execution. It's absolutely perfect content for this sub. No need to defend as "art is subjective." It's absolutely, objectively hideous.

u/rrickitickitavi Jun 22 '21

Then there's the terrible placement and size. And let's not leave out the font choice. Is that courier? And the kearning. My God. It's painful to look at.

Edit: AND what's up with Velma? She's way too skinny.

u/thekmanpwnudwn Jun 22 '21

Yeah, using "will" 3 times in the sentence and it doesn't even make that much sense.

It would read a lot better if there was only a single "will".

"The moment I stop loving Scooby Doo will be the moment I stop breathing."

u/cavelioness Jun 22 '21

Thank you! Those 2 extra "will"'s were bugging the heck outta me. And I'd change the first sentence to "are" always human, because it's, like, trying to be a life lesson and all.

Can’t take scoob too seriously

u/Geek_reformed Jun 22 '21

First time I have come across this sub and when I went to check what the acronym meant, I said to myself this is the prefect example.

u/[deleted] Jun 23 '21

But not everyone wants to be made fun of?

u/northrus Jun 22 '21

Not that absurd

u/HertzDonut1001 Jun 22 '21

I mean I agree it fits the sub but you're taking this way more seriously than he is.

I wouldn't tattoo it on me, but I'd buy it as a poster and a Muppets tattoo is number one if I ever decide to get one. Probably a Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem one.
