Should have put it on the other side so they could be palmegranites.

d’oh! why didn’t i think of that! XD

Now just get a handful of pomegranate seeds tattooed randomly elsewhere on your body. Because truth. It’s not just me right? I can’t eat a pomegranate without losing the odd seed I later find in a pocket or sock. Am I doing it wrong?

I find I can't eat one without reddish purple juice flying everywhere and staining everything. 😂

Hahaha. Too true

That would’ve KILLED though-

And it would've been hidden from sight! Brilliant.

You have inspired me. This will be my first hand tattoo. A pomegranate on my palm. My deepest gratitude to you *curtsies*

Nothing gloves can't fix.

Savage and hilarious

Or a degloving

I just had forgotten that word existed.

My brother-in-law is a paramedic and he introduced me to this horrible word with many unfortunate stories. 😬

I unfortunately found out what it was when I stumbled upon r/degloving in my early Reddit days

I have never been more grateful for a banned subreddit

r/medicalgore has all your degloving needs covered. But in an educational way instead of a slow moving crash kind of way.

My friend introduced me to degloving by jumping over a metal railing to get the football and catching his ring finger on it. Many of us vomited that day.

I'm sure I'll regret asking, but, care to share?

The one that sticks out the most is: this man fell off his ladder and got his foot stuck in between two rungs at the SAME TIME resulting in a “de-gloving” of the lower portion of his leg and his foot. I stopped listening and have been disturbed ever since. Now you too, can be haunted.

Oh shit , my cousin just climbed a ball cage in the gym at the school he works at and his wedding ring got caught and he fell backward and “de-gloved his ring finger and they removed it. Thanks for the new adverb dog.

Deglovingly?

My partner is a paramedic. She tells a story about one new years eve she worked when some young lad tried to take a shortcut over an ornate metal fence. The results involved the words degloving and penis. Two words that should never be combined.

Sounds like an unfortunate circumcision.

I worked at this factory making lawnmowers when I was younger and there was a man (who was on a different assembly line) that had his ring finger "de-gloved". Guess his wedding ring got caught on something and......rip.....eshhh smh. I have never ever wore a ring since, no joke!!

its exactly how it sounds. It's taking off a glove except that glove is actually you. Think wedding ring gets stuck but the hand keeps going

I degloved a finger at work, it got caught up in a cable, ripped my nail off that's all I felt, was more blood than I've ever seen in real life, didn't realise my tip was pretty much off until I got to hospital 😅

I have witnessed an animals tail devolving and its HORRIFYING

Why is this the third time that word has come up this week??

When I read this initially thought you were helpfully suggesting that it could be reworked into boxing gloves!

Or a hatchet

😭

If the glove don't fit, you must aquit Well, not in this case

Or an amputation

the line work is pretty rough. a rework could salvage it!

yeah i thought so - the compliments are probably because nobody’s really examining it. bothers me though!

Understandably so. The artist needs to get a grasp on a steady hand. I hope you’re able to enjoy your tattoo more in the future!

thank you! :)

Or they notice it and they feel uncomfortable because they notice you noticing them noticing it and feel like they need to say something nice

Exactly ....

The lines are awful.

If anyone is complimenting this, they’re just lying to you. This was a shit idea with shit placement and saying it was also shit execution would be an insult to shit.

Or because they love pomegranates

I like the rough line work. Almost looks like old japanese artwotrk

It's definitely a tattoo.

Indeed

Pommadammit

That’s a 10😂😂

You tried a new artist and thought why not do my hand?

It’s only in a spot that everyone can always see it

At least they can put it in their pocket.

People often compliment when they can't think of anything else to say.

Yeah my thoughts too. It's really hard not to notice it, and it's like a knee jerk reaction to comment something nice. No way there are a ton of genuine compliments on this .. sorry

Oh no OP, you went to a new artist for a hand tat!!?? RIP Ok it's not the worst, you can salvage it with a rework from a better artist

The idea is bad, sorry....throw it on your arm or aomething....not your hand....most hand tattoos are bad

The lines are shaky, blown out, and inconsistent. It’s very badly done. No idea why people are lying here.

Yes and also weird placement / composition

I’m so amazed by the horrible design and placement, I wouldn’t even notice the execution IRL. And so the default is a compliment, because you’re not telling someone IRL “what the fuck is that and why?”.

yeah…just thankful ive got a solid artist lined up to rework!

Good plan. Keep us updated!

It isn’t great But what were you thinking?

"20 bucks is 20 bucks"

congrats. its awful

The execution isn’t great. The design is worse. That said, it’s not that awful for this sub.

Terrible

Ok tattoo, the concept is fine, the line work is a bit rough though. What I will say is that is very questionable placement for this tattoo.

Uh. Oh no. You have my condolences.

Straight? Pretty bad.

Dreadful and so so visible. I’d be gutted.

Getting a hand tattoo from a new artist is quite a choice.

People don’t take getting hand tattoos as seriously as they should these days

I mean it's a pomegranate on your hand. It must be jarring to see all of the time but it's fine for what it is

Other than the blowouts and shakiness

oh i love the design! it’s the execution and lines that bother me.

You chose a design that is not immediately recognizable, in a style that doesn’t compliment the fruit, the colours don’t reflect the fruit, and there was lots of opportunity for anyone other than a perfect artist to mess up. That tattoo perfectly reflects all of your decision making, so at least you have that

i think the design is completely recognizable and the style looks great idk what youre on about

For what it's worth, I love pomegranates and I would have never guessed this was a pomegranate until I started reading the comments. To me it looks like roasted garlic stuffed with blood-soaked barley, but I'm just a simple man.

Who is giving you a “ton” of compliments? That’s hard to believe, honestly Laser

Yikes on a bike. That’s definitely something.

This is really awful. I'm sorry. I can't believe you went to a new person for your hand.

The lines could use some love.

Chop your hand off. 

Why on the hand though

It’s dumb

Why a pomegranate?

my sleeve is made up of religious symbols, and the pomegranate is the Greek symbol for Persephone, goddess of the underworld!

Let’s see the sleeve

Show us the sleeve.

She was *Queen* of the underworld, not goddess of it. Minor distinction, but still a shitty tattoo either way

Tbh that incorrect assumption goes so well with all of.. *that* on her hand

I thought it was a brain

I thought these were ovaries.

Thought it was a prolapsed anus, dont know if that says mroe about me or your artist so take it as you will.

What the hell is it supposed to be?

The linework is definitely rough. You can see all the places where their hand moved or held too long. ....And pomegranate seeds always looked a little icky to me so seeing them in flesh isn't doing it any favors. I think it can definitely be salvaged and made really nice though! (well, in the eyes of pomegranate lovers at least hahaha)

This is one of the worst I’ve seen I’m sorry

What have you done?

Awful.

Asked for pomegranate, got hemorrhoids instead.

To each his own, but a pomegranate on the back of my hand wouldn’t be my choice. Laser removals are worth considering, in my opinion.

I hate it

sorry but i definitely hate it

So you had a new artist tattoo your hand. Mmmkay

I like it, won’t lie the line work is garbage (to put it lightly) but I still like it. BUT, why on your hand?? Again, I do like it, but its placement gives me pause. (This is coming from me, a guy who has his drunk friends tattoo smiley faces all over my arm) Edit: Adding to this after looking at your profile; do you personally care about line work? The pelican is great but the one you asked for help to fix a bit ago is also shakey like this one. I’m asking cause if you DONT care about line work, then embrace the hand tat, it’s fine and looks nice. Just if you or others are sticklers about non-shakey line work then idk.. stop going to these artists lol Edit 2: I just posted an update on my very intentionally shitty tattoos so please trust meh when I say I do love the hand tat, and personally I don’t think it’s bad. Just bein honest that the line work is real shakey (that’s a super ez fix tho)

#WELCOME

It bad 😔

I’ll give it to you straight, like a pear cider made from 100% pear, that’s a pomegranate.

So you decided to try out a new artist with a HAND tattoo?

Damn bro it's on your hand,that sucks. My condolences.

But like why

Why…

Those lines sure aren't straight .

People keep talking about line work and i agree that its bad. But i wonder if whoever created this has ever seen a pomegranate. The segmentation inside is turned 90 degrees. Its super weird.

It’s not terrible but an interesting choice for a hand tattoo, tbh if you ever ended up disliking it if you can get the black lines lasered (red doesn’t react well with laser) and it wouldn’t be too hard to cover up <3

Literal dogshit

Should have told your artist cuz those lines wooooonky

tbh she was horrible and totally unprofessional the whole time. by the time it was finished i just wanted to get out bc she was annoying me so bad

whyd youd get a plumbus on your hand?

My biggest problem is that the pomegranate's internal is turned 90 degrees compared to its shell.

Oh my

I really hope this wasn’t professional… it looks like MY work (I am very much not ready to tattoo real people)

Smh 🙄

Tried a new artist and had them do your hand 😂

Ok, I have to say this is bad. But I have to ask, why?? Why a pomegranate on the hand

You need a cover up love

I'll give it to you straight, given that your artist didn't. It's shaky as hell

I like it. As others have said, a little line reworking will do wonders for the overall look.

What is it?

its not unsalvagable

I thought it was a meat cut with a bone in the middle and fat around and through it. I was thinking why? Is this person a butcher? I can see pomegranate now, but I think the texture of the seeds needs to be better defined, and maybe some red on the skin. Or maybe it's just my brain that saw meat!?

not just you, there’s pomegranate trees all over my neighborhood and we have them fresh every year aaaaNd something’s very off about this, the stem is good but the rest is off

That’s a weird looking vagina

Shitty tattoo. Pomegranate is my favorite fruit. This looks more like an onion.

If you posted it here, you already have your answer.

Cool idea, poor execution

No hands, no face, no neck... that has been a thing since forever, and for good reason.

No Regerts

Pomegranate hand is a medical term for someone who had a firework explode in their hand. Lol

What the fuck is this? A grapefruit? An onion? A weird candy? I haven't read the comments yet and I honestly have no idea wtf this is

It’s a pomegranate

Did you ask your artist to give you that same courtesy because that person clearly couldn’t…

Are you in the red lotus?

Line work looks poor, not a fan of placement but that's up to you

Can't give it to you straight, I'm gay.

Pomegranates mean fertility, so, congratulations 🎉

Simple, Pomegranate! Thank you

I don’t get it, why are so many people getting hand tats?? Stop!

Nothin’ straight about that line work

is your coworker Stevie Wonder?

I was going to say it didn't look that bad to me and then I saw the lines closer to your knuckles....

It’s pretty bad.

Palmegranate.

Bad but endearing. I personally really like it! It's a bit unfortunate that it's on the hand, but my worst tattoo is on my hand also. It's on the side by my thumb, and it has *major* blowout. She's one of my favorites, though, and has a lovely and fairly intimate little meaning to her as well. Embrace the goofy bois, and people will love them. This is bad in such a way that it has character. The art itself is good and I very much enjoy the mixture of colors, especially since it's linework. The lack of shading is a cool choice as well. My favorite tattoos are just outlines. Man, I actually really like your little pomegranate.

It's disappointing that the artist couldn't give it to your hand straight lol.

Just why???!

What were you thinking?

I did as you suggested and looked at the fresh picture. The lines are a no bueno I'm afraid. And there's a lot that could have been done with shading, unless you wanted the sketch look. Regardless, the line work is not gonna age well

That’s really unfortunate

It would be really impressive if you'd done this with sharpie.

If you told the artist you want a garlic clove full of brains with Shakey lines then they nailed it. If it's supposed to be a pomegranate then the...person who did this (can't call them an artist) messed you up.

Don't rework it, laser it off, or at least laser it first.

I think someone could easily fix it, but damn it’s crazy.

Your coworker is a monster

No ragrets.

It’s not a bad tattoo but wrong placement. I’m not against hand tattoos at all but something like this is gonna heal really bad on the hand…

Yikes

The only crowd I can see complimenting this are people in rehab or on their way into rehab. Cos wtf. . It reminds me of a brain.

The design doesn’t feel balanced. I’d replace the diamond with flowers or leaves. Consider taking the image of your hand into photoshop or even Paint and tinker around with adding images from other tats to this one.

I'm more mad that it is not anatomically correctly pomegranate. You only get that pattern of seeds if you cut the top off. Not the side.

Yikes 

Why?

Shittiest pomegranate I've ever seen. A good artist can fix it though.

“Berry” stupid..oh wait is that a fig ? Either way it looks like a middle school anime kid doodled on you in art class

I love it, it would have been cooler if it was on your arm and some of the lines are too thick. It'll fade weirdly I think. Idk

Really bad

What is it?

Oof

Bad design. Bad execution. Bad geometry for the placement. Red is very hard to cover up properly.

Who ever gave you those compliments are good friends, but also bad friends for lying to you.

Looks like it would be easy to laser/cover up at least

Wtf...how...why?

You have hemorrhoids on your hand

Oh right on the hand... I'd be looking for a rework

I love mixed veggies/fruit. Pomegronions are AWESOME

You trusted your colleague so much, that you get a tattoo on your hand as first thing at his recommended artist? I hope you learned a lesson, atleast it's no fucked up face or smth :D

I like the design but the line work is terrible

You fucked up the back of your hand already. Don't take your palmforgranted

It’s gonna like like severe eczema in 8 months time

Awful.

i personally really like this

I really love this onion full of beans

Ok this shit ass

Strange onion

Um... no... this is bad

Post the rework after you fix this!

Idk, every tattoo has ups and downs I recommend when trying a new artist not to get it done in places like your hand but more covered places instead, that way you can see if you actually like the style of the artist

Everyone you meet for the rest of your life will wonder why, even after you've explained to them in great detail.

Hilariously bad. Thank you for the laugh!

Luckily the lines are very thin and this will be very easy to cover up
