dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

This reminds me of a rule I made for when I get tattoos: do not get tattoos dedicated to people, and that includes celebrities.

There are some really badass musicians I admire, ones who even tend to be really nice people in their personal life, and the thought of paying some sort of tribute to them by getting some permanent inking of them somewhere on my leg or something doesn't sound so bad as I know them now, but I always ponder disasters like this pic.

Hell, I even avoid it for dead celebrities because you never know what could be dug up, but of course, the chances are slimmer there.

I give some leeway to works—things like album art and what not, as long as they don't pull a lostprophets. However, I'd expect there to be no problem with me getting a very popular classic like Master of Puppets tattooed on my back for instance. I was actually planning on doing that with Octopus.

Have you considered getting a tattoo of their instruments or something thats not directly them?
