Lots of people have tattoos nowadays – and they come in all shapes and forms.
From classic inks to colourful creations to simple quotes, people opt for all sorts of designs when it comes to their tatts. But, even though they can look pretty cool, they can also end up being seen in all types of different ways.
One person shared their hilarious experience on Reddit after they had a colourful firework tattoo on their arm. Even though you'd think it simply looks like a vibrant explosion, most people seem to think it depicts something else completely.
Explaining the story, they wrote: "Please help, I got this tattoo a few months ago. It was meant to be a firework but people keep saying it looks like an anus. How can I make this look more firework like?"
The post left people in stitches for all sorts of reasons. But mostly, people thought the claim was wild because they think it looks nothing like a bottom.
Most people thought the comparison was absolutely wild, and questioned how it could be viewed in such a way. They even said the people who made the comparison must be "joking" around.
One person replied, saying: "To be fair - it doesn’t look much like a firework either…. That said, I kinda like it." Another said: "If their anus looks like this, they are probably waaaaaaay too into anal and should get a doctor to look at it."
A third added: "It doesn't, but some little sparkles dotted around the edges in the different colours to make the tattoo take up more space would give a more obvious firework vibe. It's good as it is though."
While the post got a lot of people talking, most people tried to reassure the person that it looks fine. Some did point out that it could be tweaked to look better though, and they offered some suggestions as to how it could be improved.
One wrote: "Definitely not an anus. But I do think it would look a little better if the void in the center was not so large in comparison to the overall image. If the lines extended inward more I think it might look better. Even if they weren’t all aligned in length."
Another said: "I don't agree with that person at all, but it doesn't really look like a firework either. I'd recommend getting what my tattoo artist calls glitter. Basically, it's just multicoloured dots that are clustered together to look like sparkles. I believe the correct term is pointillism.
"You could fill in all the space in between with that and then add a glow effect in your choice of colour around the whole thing. If it drowns out the original lines, you could get them thickened with a more vibrant colour. For even more flare, you could add some real simple diamond style stars around the outer area of the main tattoo."
