  • Jack The Ripper tattoos

    Odd I know, but Ive found a few online. As "ripperologists" what are your views on such things? I dont have any tattoos but I think if I was going to get one it just might be "from hell" in the exact way it was written on the Lusk letter.

    Here are some I found, some are good, some are terrible

    There's some nice work there - the full back with the shadow and the Ten Bells is particularly good. Some of others, as you say.... not so much. And Sickert, really?

    People get all sorts of tatts for all sorts of reasons. I'm fairly well decorated myself, and they're kind of a diary in some ways, with a lot of stuff that is or has been important to me, but as much as my interest in this case is a huge part of my life, not sure that it's ever even occured to me to get a Jack-related tattoo.

    Now it has, though... No idea what it would be, however.

      I have a related tattoo, though not graphic as the ones above I may add.

      Messers Begg and Hutchinson were horrified, which is understandable. However I have my reasons which, like Bailey has touched upon, is born out of the case being a big part of my life rightly or wrongley.

        I have a few and although I had never looked at getting a ripper one I do want to have 'Ansi sera Groigne qui groigne' which is from one of my other interests so I can see why people would.

          I agree also, in a way - while I don't have any Jtr I do have Egyptian hieroglypics as one of my tattoos - from my interest in Ancient Egypt.

          At least some of these look quite well drawn. I suppose as long as they are happy with these tattoos for the rest of their lives, they (hopefully) thought it through before getting them.

            Yeah to be fair one of mine is done over the top of the heart I had at the bottom of my back so I looked like a care bear! I regretted that!

                A lot of these tattoos seem to be in extremely poor taste.

                  I won't be getting any and yes I do think they are in poor taste and as you all know I have very low standards.

                    Are you saying that some tattoos are in good taste?

                      No I am not. I have no tattoos myself and don't like tattoos. However each to there own as regards tattoos generally. But these tattoos are in extremely poor taste.

                        Hello John,

                        I personally think that all tattoos are in bad taste some just more so than others. I never saw the wisdom of writing on one's self when pen and paper are readily available. "Oh, but it expresses my individuality." Yeah right. You and everyone else.

                          I have a lot of tattoos, and am getting quite a few more. But these are bad tattoos. Not the subject matter, I can't really judge that, but the art. It's bad art. I hate cartooney stuff that isn't a cartoon, the lines are bad, most of the shading is terrible, the proportions are really bad.
                          I mean if you're going to do something, do it well.

                            There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.

                              Its your personal opinion. Some tattoo's have deep meaning to people...Kids names etc

                              Others have had traumatic experiences in life and it is away of dealing with that. There is a photo on google of a man who lost his arm in a shark attack. On his arm stump he has had a shark inked on. Check it out.

                              I do agree some are in bad taste and some are just ridiculous but not all.
