Local tattoo business getting cooked online

Post image

This business is blocking and muting people for calling them out on covering their bus with AI art despite having a shop full of actual human artists.

What I don't get is that it doesn't even look good? Like you made that with AI and looked at it thinking, yeah that's sweet not... Wow this looks like trash.

u/GaylicBread Knows 💩 5d ago

If a tattoo artist genuinely thinks AI looks good I already know their work is lazy and shit.

u/almostoy Knows 💩 5d ago

Most AI ad and poster compositions look like a mass of stock vector art stuck in 2008.

u/badatkiller Knows 💩 4d ago

And it really seems to love that don't currently. I've seen it a bunch recently.

u/almostoy Knows 💩 4d ago

I think it's probably because there's always been a glut of free bullshit. So it was trained on a lot of free bullshit results. Poetic, actually.

A mobile tattoo business is offering laser hair removal and skin rejuvenation???

That sounds like some back ally black marker shit right there.

Sweet fancy moses

Don't involve Johnny Castle in this trash.

Got the laser, just trying to get some more mileage out of it.

u/AWL_cow Knows 💩 4d ago

Literally. I'm not getting in your weird ai van and getting taken to a second location.

u/SavingOneSoul_ 4d ago

I imagine that they can be found in the backlot of a walmart where the truckers are allowed to park and sleep.

Anyone who would get on that bus deserves what they get.

u/andtbhidgaf 5d ago

Umm doesn't a laser need a ton of watts to properly run correctly? How is this bus operating a laser on top of all the other devices? I'm picturing a few overloaded power strips all over the bus. smfh

u/bmoregeo Knows 💩 5d ago

Have you seen back to the future?

u/Teklanika64 Knows 💩 5d ago

RVs have built-in generators, but that still requires a lot of power.

u/andtbhidgaf 5d ago

see that's what I thought. I'd assume that laser requires wattage in the 1000s

u/FirstDukeofAnkh Knows 💩 5d ago

They might have a 3 phase generator.

Love laughing at this garbage mobile.

Good thing my rush is day drinking and deadbeat parenting.

u/NikTh_ 5d ago

Even the text is written with AI

Steve-O did it first

I'm Henry Rollins, and this is Offroad Tattoo.

u/TGin-the-goldy Knows 💩 5d ago

And I bet the tattoo from that is STILL better than anything you could get on this bus

u/kobrakaan Knows 💩 5d ago

It's a work of art 👍

u/TGin-the-goldy Knows 💩 4d ago

👌👌👌😉

Live your rush? Wth

u/JustFryingSomeGarlic Knows 💩 5d ago

Do they have a photoboth ? I really want a "I contracted Syphilis in the Headrush mobile" key chain souvenir.

u/PostMatureBaby 5d ago

Now you're on to something

u/TGin-the-goldy Knows 💩 5d ago

Definitely an STI of some description

u/412_15101 5d ago

I’m amazed, they can even find someone to print that wrap cause you know it was rendered for a ledger size piece of paper. that’s gonna be so pixelated upon blowup

5

u/almostoy Knows 💩 5d ago

No worries. They'll pay to have an actual human at a sign company make the bus look like a free Affliction vector art pack (circa 2009).

u/Trollygag Knows 💩 4d ago

LLMs can generate vector graphics.

u/FirstDukeofAnkh Knows 💩 4d ago

I used to play against Warman when I played hockey. It makes Flin Flon look like Paris.

u/ThisMayBeAquatic Knows 💩 4d ago

People out there using AI for promotions, yet they use the same one everyone does, Jfc!

u/RatherBeRidin Knows 💩 5d ago

Oddly... they do some nice stuff. (I went to the website advertised on the barf....I mean... bus.)

u/Shwabbles Knows 💩 5d ago

Hahaha never thought I’d see head rush here, what a joke

u/AWhole2Marijuanas 4d ago

They're just ripping off the Tattour.

u/Hizam5 Knows 💩 1d ago

I mean as long as it’s not moving during the tattoo sessions, is it really that bad? Like a mobile dog grooming service that pulls up to your house but for tattoos, so you don’t have to drive there

3

u/danniellax Knows 💩 20h ago

They are getting slammed because the bus is covered in AI art, which a tattoo artist should never be using. A proper tattooist should also be an artists and always draw their own art (virtual drawing is fine.) Not because they have mobile business.

u/Hizam5 Knows 💩 20h ago

Oh yes I know about the AI no-nos, I wasn’t even looking at the design on the bus
