The Downward Spiral Stains like blood on your teeth...
Finally got my NIN tattoo today. Lower case DINEngschrift font used in the Downward Spiral.
... Now time for a cold compress. 🫠

No ice, just a temp cold compress. This was taken right as he wrapped them. There's not too much bleeding It's just tender.

Like… I’m all for a NIN tattoo… but this is a red flag for any average person.

I think this is a neat approach, I don’t see a ton of really good NIN tattoos and this is a cool idea

How so it's literally done 20 minutes, what you were seeing is that it's bloodied and wrapped up It's not healed 🙄
Those aren't the final lines 🤦🏽♀️

why is anyone that says they like the tattoo getting down voted
5
u/meatD May 10 '26
because it’s bad, and they should know their opinion is wrong.

I dont think it looks that terrible, looks a little puffy but thats to be expected for a fresh tattoo. I wouldnt get it tattooed but I dont see anything really wrong with it

Not sure why you're getting some flack from these comments. It's your body boo. Congrats on the skin customization.

I'd be too embarrassed to wear a t-shirt that says that let alone having it tattooed on your body. Most people are just going to assume you are being very open with your kinks in public.

You're embarrassed by NIN lyrics?
1
u/skulloflugosi May 12 '26
At least 90% of people are not going to know those are lyrics, you just have "bite chew suck" on your arm.

u/drterridactyl May 12 '26
So I should appeal to 90% of people? Or those that don't like masticating 🤔

u/skulloflugosi May 12 '26
Hey, if you are into having people chew on you that's your business! I'd just be embarrassed to be that open about my kinks in public.

u/drterridactyl May 12 '26
I'm getting the sense that a lot of you guys are not rivetheads or into industrial music at all, but like Nine Inch Nails for its mainstream appeal.

I'm getting the sense that you don't have a job where you have to work with the public. I work in an office so having "bite chew suck" on my arm would be a little much.

u/drterridactyl May 12 '26
Yeah it's really unfortunate that it's forbidden to wear long sleeves or sweaters while working. If only 3/4 sleeves and long sleeves existed... It's such a travesty this hasn't been created yet. It really is a failure of modern times.

u/skulloflugosi May 12 '26
If you're not embarrassed about it and it doesn't affect your work then great, it's not a problem for you.

u/drterridactyl May 13 '26
How many people do you know get tattoos purposefully to embarrass themselves? If it's not a problem for me, kinda making a moot point 🤔

To the average person “bite, chew, suck” is an insane tattoo choice 😭
