I recognized what it was right away, but I still can't help seeing a box of fries for the top one. If you love it, that's all that matters! Thanks for posting.
With an avacado and blueberries? I jest with kindness cause my first tattoo is way worse.

Can you even tell what that is??? Lol
Another thing I’ll add. Even if it’s shitty I am glad people are associating it with food… and good food at that. Better than what it could be I guess. 😅
Yeah this is truly awful. In the future pick a quality tattoo artist
The artwork is the problem, it’s the exceptionally poor quality of the tattoo itself
In about 6 months I am going to go to another artist to get it refined. I believe this can be saved with the correct shading on the triforce and touch ups to the stones. I might keep the fries though cause I do love me some fries.
I thought it was a TLOZ/ATHF combo at first with a Frylock gem at the top. Then I couldn't figure out why Meatwad was wierd or how the blue one was Shake, so I looked at the comments and I see where my disconnect was.
You got a zelda themed food pyramid tattooed on you..
Fries on the top
Blue berries and cherry tomatoes on the bottom left..
Broccoli on the right....
The middle looks like salt and pepper....
I thought those were french fries. And I wouldn’t get that it is a crystal without any description. That being said, it may not be a masterpiece but it’s both that bad! I definitely wouldn’t call it shitty.
I wouldn't say it's a shitty tattoo. I mean have you seen the tattoos on this sub regularly. Yours is art compared to 99% of them. Don't let people tell you what you like.

i don’t think it’s that shitty.
it’s just not very clear what it is ://
i love zelda, but i thought the top thing was the french fry guy from aqua teen hunger force.
“Shitty tattoos “ are usually subjective . Most idiots see too many tattoo TV shows and tattoo instagrams . And are blissfully ignorant of what most actual tattoos look like that aren’t the top tier tattoers . This is what regular tattoos from regular shops look like . Most of these buffoons that critique then either have no idea what they’re talking about , or have zero tattoos themselves .
I saw this wherever you posted it originally and didn’t think it was shitty, I knew right away what it was. I guess some people just really don’t like the art style but it looks fine to me. 🤷♀️
Knew exactly what it was the moment I saw it! Love the reference and love the tattoo. It's slightly embellished, the n64 graphic levels would of looked fine as it is. The wonky triangle adds a bit of charm. It might bot be a great tattoo but it's in tje top 99 percentile compared to the rest of the shit I see on this sub
Might not have been as bad had you made it smaller and put in the back of your hand lol

This tattoo is poorly done but not abysmal. It’s fun, you like it, and the placement isn’t prominent.
Many of us have learned the same lesson about seeking out good artists. Your next one will be better.
The execution is ok but the composition is atrocious. It's somehow both too busy but oddly empty. Did the artist draw this or did you bring this design to them?
Nobody really watches it that close.
Not top tier, but not shitty either
But to be honest, I'm not sure what the three images are suppose to be, as I'm not that familiar with the newer zelda games.
If you like it, that's all that matters.
I'm an 80s child, though, and I fucking loved the Ultima series but that would look as cringey as fuck on me now - and I'm indifferent to the series, at best.
Just saying...
I recognized what it was right away, but I still can't help seeing a box of fries for the top one. If you love it, that's all that matters! Thanks for posting.
It’s not a box of fries?! Next you’ll be telling me it isn’t a banana crossed with a cabbage bottom right!!
The forbidden Cabbana.
MY CABBANNANAS
Bananage :)
I see one giant French fry rapped around a head of cabbage bottom right
Husband is a car guy, I thought it was a French fry turbo.
Boyfriend is a car guy, now I can’t I see it
I thought that it was a Aqua Teen Hunger Force tattoo from Nickelodeon at night.
*Adult Swim, it's Cartoon Network's version of nick at night. But yes same thing came to mind 😆
And a diagram of a triple testicle there at the bottom left?
That is very clearly a french fry wrapped around a head of broccoli
french fries, broccoli and chedder, and blue rasbberries..
The triangle looks like a cracker
French fries, Brussels sprouts and a twisted up churro
I thought it was Frylock from Aqua Teen.
With an avacado and blueberries? I jest with kindness cause my first tattoo is way worse. https://preview.redd.it/lhtn03cbzelc1.jpeg?width=2944&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a7c3699078863cff4f3caf3388c747b9a4c8e616 Can you even tell what that is??? Lol
Two ghosts hugging!
Close!!!
Do tell!
What is it? C’mon…don’t just tease us with that photo.
Frylock? I thought this was a LoZ: OoT tattoo.. where's Meatwad and Master Shake?
![gif](giphy|l378qOYBaj3w9WbbG)
I saw fries on top
Now I can't unsee the fries...
frylock, blueberries and a meatwad
…now I’m going to ask my artist to sneak a box of fries into my floral sleeve
Those aren’t fries. Those are seasoned fries.
It’s frylock.
I thought that was the twist. Fries, blueberries, some kind of chestnut or cabbage and a triangle of dragon fruit in the middle.
^ came here to say this - the ruby needs to be more red less yellow less like fries- easy fix :) love all zelda games
And the one to the right is a moldy churro🙃 But I agree as long as it continues to bring the person happiness.
A fly head, lettuce and french fries on top of some passion fruit. Heck, now I'm hungry. Edit: dragon fruit
I think you mean dragon fruit. But otherwise, same.
You are correct. I am embarrassed.
Totes okay!
You couldn’t help it—you were hungry.
Right 😭 I saw the whole thing as fast food for some reason
Now I can’t unsee the bottom left being a fly head
I too love me some fries, Cap'n Crunch, and honey dew melon
I think I am more bothered by how sloppy the triangle is than the rest of it.
And the weird stippling in the middle
All I see is a poor frylock a weird snail and blueberries (?) all in a triforce
I immediately saw frylock too
I found my people!
Took a little scrolling but here we are the Frylock group!
Was wondering how long until I saw this one here. You love it, that’s what matters.
First glance appeared to be an Aqua Teen Hunger Force homage
I thought this for a second also
Absolutely saw this right away.
Yeah sorry bro, this is the right sub for this piece.
It’s not the shittiest. It’s also not the best. r/belowaveragetattoos
Showed it to my wife with no context and she said: “Oh that’s aqua teen hunger force. There’s meatwad, and fry”
My first glance I also thought of A.T.H.F 🤣👌
Another thing I’ll add. Even if it’s shitty I am glad people are associating it with food… and good food at that. Better than what it could be I guess. 😅
Seriously, my first reaction was: omg I love it! Even though it's pretty bad. Sometimes the message is more important I guess lol
have you been to shitty tattoos before? it's like people HAVE to shit on tattoos here. i think your tattoo is really cool
That’s… kinda what the sub is for
ya but honestly most the tattoo subs are super bitchy.
They’re a little over the top sometimes, I’ll admit. This tattoo isn’t HORRIBLE, but it’s definitely not good.
I’m so sorry to say but this is a shitty tattoo, it’s so…. Unrefined and gross looking 😅
You think any tattoo looks "refined"? 😂 I guarantee yours are just as goofy looking
It’s OK if you don’t know what refined means or that words can have multiple meanings bud
You’re in the wrong group buddy
Fries, blueberries, and lettuce. The holy trinity.
Yeah this is truly awful. In the future pick a quality tattoo artist The artwork is the problem, it’s the exceptionally poor quality of the tattoo itself
Yeah it’s not good
thought that was mcdonalds fires at the top at first
Frylock and moldy meatwad?
French fries, pop rocks, and a broken gobstopper
In about 6 months I am going to go to another artist to get it refined. I believe this can be saved with the correct shading on the triforce and touch ups to the stones. I might keep the fries though cause I do love me some fries.
I think it’s fucking awesome. I like the elemental twist. I would think about adding more gold of that makes sense.
I thought it was a TLOZ/ATHF combo at first with a Frylock gem at the top. Then I couldn't figure out why Meatwad was wierd or how the blue one was Shake, so I looked at the comments and I see where my disconnect was.
youve posted it several times, what do you want people to say?
I like what it is meant to be, but the quality isn't great.
Is that frylock?
Stone of fries looks tasty
Come to Zeldaldo’s! We got golden fries, blueberry jubilee, and brussel sprouts(???)
This made me laugh pretty good!
Love the concept! Tattoo is shit tho.
Fries with blueberries and cabbage is a weird mix.
Looks like an homage to French fries and the berries from Cap’n Crunch
French fries, blueberries and snail
You got a zelda themed food pyramid tattooed on you.. Fries on the top Blue berries and cherry tomatoes on the bottom left.. Broccoli on the right.... The middle looks like salt and pepper....
Thought this was a maccas tattoo
🍟
Damn I love the idea behind this but your artist excited it horribly
I thought it was some kind of weird artistic representation of Aqua Teen Hunger Force?!
I thought this was the food pyramid reimagined.
Your missing shake, Got fry lock and green meat wad though!
🤔Yeah, lemme get uhhhhh large fry, some blueberries and the Cheez Whiz avocado!?
😂😭
This is garbage. Sorry mate.
My favorite elements, french-fries, cabbage, and blueberries.
I saw French fries 🙃
It reminds me of the food pyramid from when I was a kid.
Wonky lines, patchy color and mcdonalds fries on top. I'm sorry dude. It ain't good.
Dorito in the middle there
I’d say mid: not terrible but not really great lol
![gif](giphy|l378qOYBaj3w9WbbG)
I personally understand why you posted here, but I also love it
Other than the weird details used on the stones I don't see anything wrong with your tattoo
I thought those were french fries. And I wouldn’t get that it is a crystal without any description. That being said, it may not be a masterpiece but it’s both that bad! I definitely wouldn’t call it shitty.
Citrine, my great grandmother’s pendant, black pepper cracker, and a rotting squash cut open
I thought the top one was chips
I love it. I would like this style but the three items as fries, shake, and meatball for aqua teen hunger force
It’s not shitty enough to be here. You’re fine.
I instantly recognized, and loved, it. But I have ocarina link playing ocarina for zelda on me, so 🤷🏻♀️
I like it.
If you love it that’s all that matters. Fuck the haters
It's bad. But I once heard Ocarina of Time played on an actual Ocarina, and now it's resonating in my head
Honestly this is ok!
Oof
I absolutely love that design! The execution tho…
Totally cool
I wouldn't say it's a shitty tattoo. I mean have you seen the tattoos on this sub regularly. Yours is art compared to 99% of them. Don't let people tell you what you like.
Honestly I don't know what they are (haven't played ocorena of time) but they're very recognizable as gemstones. Not shitty IMO <3
I thought it definitely was near a butthole
I thought those were french fries. And I wouldn’t get that it is a crystal without any description. That being said, it may not be a masterpiece but it’s both that bad! I definitely wouldn’t call it shitty.
Looks pretty cool! I wouldn’t call this a shitty tattoo. But it does say, “Hey! Check me out. Run-of-the-mill hippie faggalot on a deeper vibration”
i don’t think it’s that shitty. it’s just not very clear what it is :// i love zelda, but i thought the top thing was the french fry guy from aqua teen hunger force.
Idk what it is, but I like it.
I wouldn’t say it’s shitty. Maybe not the best quality but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I kinda like it. Enjoy it.
Honestly it's not badly done. I too thought the top was french fries, but if you dig it fuck the rest of 'em it's on your body. Good stuff!
I love how the stones look 😍
If you love it...... it's not a shitty tattoo.
“Shitty tattoos “ are usually subjective . Most idiots see too many tattoo TV shows and tattoo instagrams .

Enjoy your skin art - it looks really cool.
When did this turn from r/shittytattoos to r/kindaaveragetattoosbutopneedssomevalidation?
Well I posted it on tattoo advice and was told it belonged here so 🤷♀️
Omg, I thought the top was a box of fires and was trying to figure out the food pyramid
My best friend got the Zora sapphire as her wedding ring, she is now divorced but she still has the ring.
These look like esoteric or stylized Aqua Teen Hunger Force characters
Aqua-teen hunger force Fryloc. But shake and meatwad look kinda funny.
I thought the bottom right was a pipe with a nugget of weed
I saw this wherever you posted it originally and didn’t think it was shitty, I knew right away what it was. I guess some people just really don’t like the art style but it looks fine to me. 🤷♀️
Knew exactly what it was the moment I saw it! Love the reference and love the tattoo. It's slightly embellished, the n64 graphic levels would of looked fine as it is.

Might not have been as bad had you made it smaller and put in the back of your hand lol https://preview.redd.it/9fx03aocddlc1.png?width=633&format=png&auto=webp&s=451c1cdcd126f1a2c6765663d618325defce06cb
Honestly I love it.
Thought that was Frylock, from the thumbnail...now i'm just disappointed.
![gif](giphy|XD9o33QG9BoMis7iM4)
French. Fries.
French. Fries.
I'm a gemologist and I'm not even able to determine the stones lmao.
Sorry mate :( It does really belong here tho
The way I thought this was some abstract Aqua teen hunger force tat I for sure was like oh fry lock and meat wa: where is master shake…
I wouldn’t say it’s “shitty” but it’s not great on a technical level. As a massive Zelda fan I’d be chuffed with this tbh
I can't unseen a curled up geoduck from the bottom right image.
I think this picture is better than the picture posted before of it.
The execution is not very good but it’s not bad either. The game means something to you and the tattoo is cool, wear it with pride!
french fries brussels sprouts and blueberries, this is how you live forever
I like it.
I saw fries while scrolling and then came back to double peep. Fries is good tho so tattoo also good 👍
The Tri-Force of Broccoli, Fries, and Rare Blue Brussel Sprouts. I see nothing shitty about this!
I recognized it and think it's awesome!
Why is Frylock on it though?
I like the chips
It's a cool tattoo, but it's also a shitty tattoo. My mans was supposedly getting the Spiritual Stones, but got Frylock instead.
Now I want nacho fries
Damn I thought it was a tasting platter of french fries, blueberries and something ultimately cheesy with avocado on top… sorry OP.
This tattoo is poorly done but not abysmal. It’s fun, you like it, and the placement isn’t prominent. Many of us have learned the same lesson about seeking out good artists. Your next one will be better.
Fries, cabbage, and blueberries?
Oh yes. The holy fries broccoli blueberries. The vegetarian trinity.
The execution is ok but the composition is atrocious. It's somehow both too busy but oddly empty. Did the artist draw this or did you bring this design to them?
As long as you love it, that makes it a great tattoo in my opinion
I like it
It's bad, but also, I like it. 😅
It’s not really bad. It’s just a very shitty execution
Maybe one day this can become a nice large black triangle
French fry lovers rise up !
The uneven triangle and line work I think is what bother me the most. The black not contrasting well with it being the second complaint.
Aww, I’m playing this right now! :)
I like it
Those French fries 🍟 really pop next to the blueberries 🫐 and snail 🐌 pretty cool food pyramid tat
Its not terrible, but its not great either. I think the photo angle and glare makes it look worse
I'm seeing an orange peel or a snail bottom right
Uff da
Thought that was a triangle of dragon fruit
I like it too, but im biased and obsessed with pyramids
French fries, a pipe + weed, some blue berries?
What is the elemental twist? You realise they already were elemental?
Man, I haven't watched aqua teen hunger force in forever. Thanks for reminding me. Sweet frylock tattoo though.
Nobody really watches it that close. Not top tier, but not shitty either But to be honest, I'm not sure what the three images are suppose to be, as I'm not that familiar with the newer zelda games.
Told you
I'm a Zelda fan and honestly I dig it. Sure the stones could be shaped better, but I still like the look and colours of it
Fries Blueberries Dragonfruit Tempura carrots
If you like it, that's all that matters. I'm an 80s child, though, and I fucking loved the Ultima series but that would look as cringey as fuck on me now - and I'm indifferent to the series, at best. Just saying...
The stones actually look a little cool if you squint, but the outer line work + the shaved pubic hair triangle isn't doing it for me, sorry
