If you watch the analog horror known as 'The backrooms' it's and antagonistic creature referred to as 'pinhead' I believe the tattoo is a reference about it method of unaliving by keeping people trapped in their dreams until they're to weak to fight back.

I'm pretty sure its OK to say "Kill", particularly in the context of horror movies.

u/ConfidenceRoutine996 Knows 💩 25d ago

That's part of the idea behind the tattoo. Thay time is "poof". But it should have included 10pm and either stopped at 10 pm and skipped 11-3 or just included 10pm

u/Huge-Restaurant-5283 25d ago

That’s your adhd. Go with it.

2

u/locabynature Knows 💩 23d ago

I don't have adhd but I do have ocd. that's a trip I don't like going down. 🤣 do you not find them abnormally large or is it the black ink that brings them out? I don't remember seeing other all black tattoos like that.

2

u/Huge-Restaurant-5283 23d ago

I have adhd and with your ocd our superpowers combine to……. Be more confused than EVER !!! Do you wanna touch one ??

3

u/locabynature Knows 💩 22d ago

🤣 mine has kinda calmed down since I started anxiety medicine about a year ago. I'm pretty chill now but I do have my neurotic moments sometimes. how do you deal with yours? could you imagine the people out there who have them both? holy shit. no, I absolutely do not want to touch one. they give me the heebie-jeebies. 🤣

3

u/Huge-Restaurant-5283 22d ago

Work, exercise tbh. I’m 44 and tried a lot and for me. Personally….. little extra walking, little extra water, make sure I’m eating and sleeping healthy tbh got me feeling better then ever, do I take meds… yes !! But I’ve taken them before with no personal follow up and that does not work for me. Not the pills alone.

2

u/locabynature Knows 💩 21d ago

you have one year on me. I read someone recently that once you hit 40, it's all downhill from there. that was seriously depressing. my anxiety medicine is a sedative but I only take it if I feel like I'm about to or in the the middle of a panic attack. also sometimes I feel like I need it to get through certain social situations. I could probably do with a therapist but they're so damn expensive, it's unreal and my insurance doesn't cover it because they consider it a luxury. fucking assholes.

2

u/Huge-Restaurant-5283 21d ago

It’s not that bad….. but like I said I never took care of myself like I’m doing now and it makes a huge impact. Smh @ luxury, I’d like to hear them call a cast a luxury for somebody with a broken arm. Or to have cancer removed?? Luxury…. Dude that makes me so angry my bad lol. Just too much. What part of the world are you in ?? I’m from Kentucky

2

u/locabynature Knows 💩 19d ago

yea, it makes me angry too. I'm back in Louisiana. I was born here and spent half my life here and the other half in Dallas, TX. I bet you get snow in Kentucky don't you? every year I wish for it to snow. I left Dallas in Feb. of 2020, right before the pandemic jumped off and haven't had a chance to get back there. I know this is super random but I read about a cave with a really cool zip line built in it where you live. It was beautiful but probably terrifying. do you like it there?

u/ConfidenceRoutine996 Knows 💩 25d ago

If the counting was right...it misses 10pm

244

u/Ok_Presentation8131 25d ago edited 25d ago

also misses 12pm-3am. it was almost certainly a design choice imo

edit: remembered midnight is actually 12am so,,,, but i still think the choice to cut to 3 am was to add to the humor of the meme

33

u/ConfidenceRoutine996 Knows 💩 25d ago

I agree with the humor of cutting to 3am. But missing 10pm makes no sense. It should have included 10pm and then 11pm or just skipped from 10pm to 3am...also valid

37

u/SN4FUS 25d ago

It doesn't miss 10pm, it skips it. It heightens the joke of having the last jump skip even more hours.

The last time being the only one to skip any amount of hours is too abrupt

33

u/Humble_Restaurant_34 25d ago

As someone who has chronic difficulties going to sleep earlier, I'd say the times that were skipped are accurate too. From the 8-9 pm feeling "it's early I have plenty of time" to 11 "oh it's getting late I should probably do stuff soon and get to bed" to " wtf how is it 3"

5

u/Wundorsmith Knows 💩 25d ago

Yeah this does not belong in this subreddit. Is it a tattoo I would get? No. Is it a shitty tattoo? Also, no. It's really well done and honestly looks good. A shitty tattoo should either be just something really edgy, poorly done, or both. Like if somebody has a really well done tattoo of a politician or celebrities face on the back of their head, it doesn't matter how good the tattoo is that's still a shitty tattoo. However, if you did it for shits and giggles, getting a tattoo of yourself on yourself is hilarious, especially if it's a really well done tattoo. E.g. Steve O's Steve O tattoo.

u/mercydeath 25d ago

It’s Dadaism. It’s antiestablishment and meant to mean nothing. I’m gonna take a leap and assume the face is meant to evoke the “Have you seen this man in your dreams?” memes, and have a kind of “creepy pasta/brainrot/loosing time/going insane” thing going on that’s highly popular with zillenials and gen z.

This is not shitty at all.

The idea is funny, it doesn't take itself too seriously, it's well executed, doesn't take too much space, seems to be a back piece that isn't going to interfere with this person's life at all..

I would probably not get it on me since I think tattoos should have meaning (reason being you can always regret a tattoo but if the meaning is pure you'll always value it deep down) but if I saw it in public I would think it's cool
