I was thinking "Howdy tooth man" and a little tooth wearing a cowboy hat or the word "No" for a more literal meaning to the idiom "Read my lips"


To be clear I'm not actually going to get a tattoo on the inside of my lip this is just a shower thought.

Attached is my best attempt at AI generating an image of a cartoon tooth wearing a cowboy hat.

This lip intentionally left blank

[–] Pinklink@lemm.ee 13 points 11 months ago

Check other lip

I worked in a factory near a very rough housing estate in the mid 80s. There were lots of tattooed knuckles and forearms but back then they were still associated with services or prison time.

One chap had on his inside lower lip the words FUCK OFF, which he would use with great glee. He was a hard drinking, fighting nutter but he was also very funny and good to work with.

Happy days.

They still are.

Eh, not really. Now it's more like I wanna look cool kind of thing

[–] MrAlternateTape@lemm.ee 9 points 11 months ago

You're not supposed to see this, get me medical help.

A nurse at work had β€œCA$H MONEY” tattooed inside her lip. Sounded like the result of a drunken dare/bet.

How much would it take for you to get one.

[–] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I think it would depend a lot on what it was

Surely it'd have to be a little goatee...

I know a guy that has: Jagermeister

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Shame he forgot the umlaut

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 6 points 11 months ago

I'm gonna say he probably got it, but this was in the 90's, so even if he did, I'm sure it isn't visible anymore.

[–] Greenknight777@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I bet he regrets that umlaut.

This comment was based on the movie Precious, based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You're not getting any picture...

You won't even fit a lot of letters because they need to be big thick lines.

Even then, it'll probably be completely gone in 5 years. Your mouth heals faster than pretty much any part of your body.

I know a bunch of people that got them back in the day because of that.

[–] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The image I attached was my attempt at generating an image with AI. It would be more of a doodle than anything. No fine details

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world -2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I mean, get what you want.

Just have realistic expectations on what they can do, and how long it'll last.

Block lettering is cheap. But any kind of recognizable design will likely be expensive and start fading immediately. Like even the stereotypical "ignorant tattoo" would be too complicated for inside your lip.

A quality tattooist probably wouldn't even try anything more than a few letters.

[–] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space -1 points 11 months ago

Did you read the post? I explained it was an AI sketch and I'm not getting a tattoo it was just a shower thought

[–] dingus@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I'm wondering how bad it would hurt

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago
