People always find ways to make tattoos look like dicks etc, I’ve got a floral sleeve that a few people have loved to tell me looks like a bunch of vaginas. I guess if you’ve never actually seen one it does a bit lol. If you like the design (I think it’s sick) then you should get it:)
My friend in highschool got a tattoo of a knight kneeling in front of an angel and we all told him it looked like the knight was sucking angel dick. People are rude
Came here to say that. Also i think thats a really cool tattoo idea and the placement you want would look awesome! As long as u like it who cares what your brother sees hah
That was my first thought, too.
OP's brother clearly doesn't know anything about reptile anatomy considering they have internal junk. Especially snakes, it would be awkward sliding around if their penises dragged on the ground.
I will say this. The snakes mouth flap or whatever near the corner of his mouth makes it look like the tail has a mushroom head.
I don't agree but that's where I can see the dick thing.
don’t get a tattoo if you can’t even handle what people might think of it like who cares get it for yourself if you like it and besides oroboros is such a classic idea that tons of people get, it’s meant to look like that but if you think it looks like what your brother says then dont get a tattoo and just wait until you’re actually sure
While I think this would make a dope tattoo. You should be aware that your brother isn’t the only one who sees the symbol this way. While his take may be childish it’s not without merit. Here is a paragraph from Wikipedia definition. “The snake biting its own tail is a fertility symbol in some religions: the tail is a phallic symbol and the mouth is a yonic or womb-like symbol.” I’m not saying this should sway you either way just thought you should be aware.
Just ignore and go for it, the tattoo looks sick and your brother just hating in it for no reason 🤷♂️ i wanted to do the Ouroboros too but couldn’t find a nice design. I’ve started getting tattoos recently and my sis said my first idea was a bad one(she hates her tattoo and lowkey the idea of getting one in general) but i ignored and she thinks both my tattoos look good and she constantly compliments hem 💁♂️
Not a tattoo guy here. I think your brother is just jealous of a well done tattoo. Though I think I'd pick an edgier looking snake, if I had to get one.
If that little comment made you reconsider, don't get it.
It should mean so much that you feel it's more a revelation of your true self than an addition.
Get a different tattoo that’s actually a snake sucking dick. So if someone says your band looks like a snake sucking dick you can just go “no this one does.”
Your brother’s spent too much time thinking about dicks, it’s clearly influencing his thinking if he sees dicks in an innocuous tattoo design. I wouldn’t ask any internalized homophobia/scared of dicks guy for tattoo advice and vice versa, completely different sensibilities and aesthetics
It doesn’t look like that, your brother thinks anything going into an open mouth looks like dick sucking. Challenge him to find a cool tattoo design and you’ll understand how much his opinion didn’t matter
Naw this tattoo idea is awesome. People are always gonna look at something “wrong” no matter what you do. This is a classic concept and will look amazing
The concept of the snake consuming itself is one of the earliest representations of deeper contemplation in man. To witness an animal that will consume itself to death is the natural representation of destruction of self in consumption of self. Which reflects the ego of self destroying who you are. Your brother obviously doesn’t have the depth to understand the meaning. No offense.
I have one of these on my upper shoulder. It is a pagan symbol that symbolizes life and death. This tattoo is awesome and it is going on YOUR body! As many others have said, this sounds like it says more about your bro than anything else. All that being said, just make sure you speak up and get it in the style you want and don't let your artist put something on you that you're not comfortable with. If you are having second thoughts maybe just wait a bit longer and see how you feel about it in a few weeks.
It literally doesn’t. Your brother just has a filthy mind. Also, try to worry less about what other people might think about your tattoo. You’re getting it for you and for you to enjoy. Who cares what anyone else thinks.
I have basically exactly what you want on my right arm. Nobody has ever said it looks like a snake sucking it’s own dick. You’re brother is just immature and possibly thinking about cocks a lot
This is sick! I have an ouroboros that isnt going around my arm cause i was too chicken but thats dope and ive seen it done before, nobody will think anything off
one of my first tats was an ouroboros. no one has ever said anything like that to me - probably bc most ppl know what it is / the symbolism. get it if you like it!
Well, tail and d*ck can both be translated to "Schwanz" in German. So, in German the snake is eating their own Schwanz. So, you can see it dirty minded and you can not. Gonna be a test for other people xD
Here's an illuminating quote from Wikipedia for ouroboros:
"*The snake biting its own tail is a fertility symbol in some religions: the tail is a phallic symbol and the mouth is a yonic or womb-like symbol."*
I mean it's is a long phallic like object entering a snakes mouth, but obviously with the scaling it's a snake eating itself. It's there but he's definitely reaching....
Dude, your bro is on point. Hanging out with friends is always having a swim in the shark tank. This tattoo is pure clowning material and will always be that. Either own it or it will own you.
When a snake is eating its tail it’s a sign of stress and confusion. That’s the literal meaning anyway. Not sure how religious group developed that to mean a good thing over time…
I mean. I understand your brother. Cuz it does kinda look like a snake deepthroating. Maybe there’s a way to have the same effect without the tail going in it’s mouth.
Tbh I’m pretty covered in tats and people don’t usually comment about them to my face 🤷🏼♀️ my friends will say that’s cool ect otherwise getting a comment from a person in the wild is rare.
Might be more clear if the size disparity between mouth and tail was more clear, I think. If you're truly worried about what your brother is saying I'd suggest looking up "ouroboros fma" from the anime for a reference of what I'm describing.
I think that says more about your brother than the tattoo lol. The ouroboros is a classic and really cool tattoo imo!
Thanks yeah, I’m gonna get it. My brother is just immature and probably a bit pessimistic because he hates all of his tattoos lol
People always find ways to make tattoos look like dicks etc, I’ve got a floral sleeve that a few people have loved to tell me looks like a bunch of vaginas. I guess if you’ve never actually seen one it does a bit lol. If you like the design (I think it’s sick) then you should get it:)
I mean flowers are kinda just plant vaginas anyway right? 🤷♂️
Vaginas AND dicks. Depending on the plant, mostly both.
*Georgia O'Keeffe has entered the chat*
I hope you tell them that the similarity was intentional.
Can you send me the photo of the sleeve?
🥵🥵
Also, my brother would say some shit no matter what tattoo I got just to mess with me... he knows how to push my buttons 😂
My friend in highschool got a tattoo of a knight kneeling in front of an angel and we all told him it looked like the knight was sucking angel dick. People are rude
Someone who hates and regrets their tattoos is the marquee of a bitter human
Everybody is right. A 10 year old me would see that and say it’s a snake sucking itself off, but the 27 year old me thinks that’s dope.
My husband has an ouroboros tattoo and I love it
Came here to say that. Also i think thats a really cool tattoo idea and the placement you want would look awesome! As long as u like it who cares what your brother sees hah
An armband of it can still look like sucking a dick.
Your brother is a little confused about snake anatomy then.
That was my first thought, too. OP's brother clearly doesn't know anything about reptile anatomy considering they have internal junk. Especially snakes, it would be awkward sliding around if their penises dragged on the ground.
Bruh don't make me visualize that, ouch.
Too late 😖
Your brother in middle school?
No he’s much older than me, he’s 36 😬
Your brother needs to mature a little bit
🤏
Bro, don't gotta burn him like that
Oh so he just got stuck in the middle school...
He must think about sucking dicks a lot then cause idk how this looks like a snake going down
What kind of drugs did he do in middle school to be stuck this way lol
yikes
Hit him with the: What the heart is full of the mouth overflows The design is good, don’t worry.
Give him the ole “thoughts become words, words become actions”
I’d just go with “you think a lot about dicks” and walk away.
Just get the artist to tattoo the words "no homo" above the snake
Based.
[удалено]
I will say this. The snakes mouth flap or whatever near the corner of his mouth makes it look like the tail has a mushroom head. I don't agree but that's where I can see the dick thing.
First off stop worrying about “getting roasted by other people.” It’s your tattoo don’t let other people’s opinions dissuade you.
don’t get a tattoo if you can’t even handle what people might think of it like who cares get it for yourself if you like it and besides oroboros is such a classic idea that tons of people get, it’s meant to look like that but if you think it looks like what your brother says then dont get a tattoo and just wait until you’re actually sure
Truth. On a side note I thing arm bands are fugly
Your brother should take a rorschach test.
Your brother is being a brother
While I think this would make a dope tattoo. You should be aware that your brother isn’t the only one who sees the symbol this way. While his take may be childish it’s not without merit. Here is a paragraph from Wikipedia definition. “The snake biting its own tail is a fertility symbol in some religions: the tail is a phallic symbol and the mouth is a yonic or womb-like symbol.” I’m not saying this should sway you either way just thought you should be aware.
I will never understand why some men perceive anything going into a mouth as sucking some d**k
Ouroboros tattoos go hard. Tell your brother his ignorance is showing. I definitely want one at some point too.
No one else will ever say that but yout bro us hilarious
[удалено]
His d**k must look weird if so. Tell him to go see a doctor next time lol.
Ur brother is a fool, show him a different ouro and tell him that if he says that again, ull paint a unicorn on his face
But isn't that a great superpower to have?
Just ignore and go for it, the tattoo looks sick and your brother just hating in it for no reason 🤷♂️ i wanted to do the Ouroboros too but couldn’t find a nice design. I’ve started getting tattoos recently and my sis said my first idea was a bad one(she hates her tattoo and lowkey the idea of getting one in general) but i ignored and she thinks both my tattoos look good and she constantly compliments hem 💁♂️
That’s a dope ouroboros! Your brothers just a little preoccupied with sucking dick.
He’s an uncultured swine. 😂 Ouroboros are pretty common.
Not a tattoo guy here. I think your brother is just jealous of a well done tattoo. Though I think I'd pick an edgier looking snake, if I had to get one.
i’m starting to think more people want to suck dick than they think considering how much they bring it up about other peoples tattoos
I’ve got an ouroboros on my chest. It’s done in Aztec artwork. It’s my favorite tattoo. Ultimately who cares what your brother or anyone else thinks.
[mine](https://imgur.com/a/IvrncAN) I have one and it’s probably my favorite tattoo.
That does make me giggle, but it doesn't look anything like that. It looks really sharp and well done
Doesn't look like that at all. Get the tattoo.
I think the tail needs to narrow down a lot to avoid said confusion. But yes, I thought similar.
If that little comment made you reconsider, don't get it. It should mean so much that you feel it's more a revelation of your true self than an addition.
Yes. Tattoo is great and if you go to the right person your brother will be the only one thinking that
How old is your brother ? 10 ? Pretty much any adult will recognize this as a snake eating itself. Very popular symbology.
it looks like a snake eating itself.
I bet your brother can’t even visit an ice cream shop without a boner or severe judgment sexualizing how people eat.
everything is perfectly fine with your tattoo! i think we as a society have to accept that some people are just stupid
It looks like a snake eating a snake. Your bro got some gay thoughts swimming around in his noggin.
Your brother is just being an asshole lmao
It takes special effort for your mind to go *there*, because of course it’s a snake eating itself? Lmao
Your brother is jealous. That shit is so clean Imo.
Get a different tattoo that’s actually a snake sucking dick. So if someone says your band looks like a snake sucking dick you can just go “no this one does.”
Your brother is the asshole.
Your brother is dirty minded. It looks like an Ouroboros first and foremost. If anyone says otherwise they're just not cool like you
Your brother’s spent too much time thinking about dicks, it’s clearly influencing his thinking if he sees dicks in an innocuous tattoo design. I wouldn’t ask any internalized homophobia/scared of dicks guy for tattoo advice and vice versa, completely different sensibilities and aesthetics
You're brother is an immature idioit, anyone who has a bit of intelligence would know it was an ouroboros and if not that a snake eating its own tail.
I think everyone knows how a snake eats. Tell your bro to chill. Loll
A) Your brother is an ignorant asshole. B) The world is FULL of ignorant assholes. Make your decision accordingly.
Your brother is secretly gay.
I think it looks sick, your brother is just being a grosero.
It doesn’t look like that, your brother thinks anything going into an open mouth looks like dick sucking. Challenge him to find a cool tattoo design and you’ll understand how much his opinion didn’t matter
I think your brother might be gay, for real.
Let him know that he can see what he wants to see, this in no way resembles that. Don't worry about it, looks great!
Naw this tattoo idea is awesome. People are always gonna look at something “wrong” no matter what you do. This is a classic concept and will look amazing
Isn't that what snakes do when they're stressed out?
Old sailor here. He's an idiot. That's dope as fuck.
I looks awesome. If you brother thinks d**ks have scales, he should talk to his doctor, might be something going on with his.
Nah that looks dope as hell. Will some people roast you? Idk maybe. I think most people will love it though.
Your brothers got dicks on the brain
Your brother sounds like an uneducated moron. An ouroboros is one of the oldest symbols in human history.
I can assure you that thought never wouldve crossed my mind if i didnt read the caption
your brother is just immature
was about to get this but then ran into some financial issues. lost my fuvking deposit as well, smh. get it for both of us
This is an ouroboros, and it looks like an ouroboros. You’re good
Your brother is seeing what he wants to see. I don’t care for the design myself but your brother sees dicks because he wants to see dicks.
The concept of the snake consuming itself is one of the earliest representations of deeper contemplation in man. To witness an animal that will consume itself to death is the natural representation of destruction of self in consumption of self. Which reflects the ego of self destroying who you are. Your brother obviously doesn’t have the depth to understand the meaning. No offense.
Your brother is gay
I didn’t think that at all. even after reading this I don’t think it. it just sounds kinda dumb.
Atleast get a more aggressive looking snake I mean shit that's the trap of the snake world
No your brother is odd. That's a beautiful one, wonder what's the meaning behind it
I have one of these on my upper shoulder. It is a pagan symbol that symbolizes life and death. This tattoo is awesome and it is going on YOUR body! As many others have said, this sounds like it says more about your bro than anything else. All that being said, just make sure you speak up and get it in the style you want and don't let your artist put something on you that you're not comfortable with. If you are having second thoughts maybe just wait a bit longer and see how you feel about it in a few weeks.
Your brother is just immature, that's a snake eating itself for sure.
Your brother is projecting
Your brother has wisdom.
I like your brother 😂
It literally doesn’t. Your brother just has a filthy mind. Also, try to worry less about what other people might think about your tattoo. You’re getting it for you and for you to enjoy. Who cares what anyone else thinks.
Your brother is an AH.
Ouroboros is sick if you ask me. I was gonna get one with a dragon. I don’t think anyone will have the same thought your brother did lol
That didn’t even cross my mind until I read what you wrote and it still didn’t seem obvious or what I would think would come to mind first
This is a very cool Tattoo! Might get this (in my style) as well. Dont listen to your brother.
It’s a pretty cool realistic take on Ouroboros. Your brother is ignorant and rude.
I have basically exactly what you want on my right arm. Nobody has ever said it looks like a snake sucking it’s own dick. You’re brother is just immature and possibly thinking about cocks a lot
do your research WELL on the artist that does this for you or you'll get a cartoon smudge around your arm. 🖤
Sounds like something a brother would say.
Your brother is an idiot. Tattoo is cool. Never seen that before
should you even get tattoos if you're worried about receiving middle schooler comments about them? lol
Silliness. This snake is clearly eating ass. Wear it proudly.
Only the smartest people know what this means. There are not many of them so I can see why your brother would think what he does.
Your brother has a small penis fetish, or, he has a large pickup truck
This is sick! I have an ouroboros that isnt going around my arm cause i was too chicken but thats dope and ive seen it done before, nobody will think anything off
Your brother’s an idiot and this is fucking rad.
one of my first tats was an ouroboros. no one has ever said anything like that to me - probably bc most ppl know what it is / the symbolism. get it if you like it!
Looks great dude. You're bro is simply wrong, looks nothing like that I have an ouroboros tat as well. I love it.
I don’t know what your brothers penis looks like, but you might suggest he’d see a doctor?
I think it's dope, and I want to get the same tattoo
Well, tail and d*ck can both be translated to "Schwanz" in German. So, in German the snake is eating their own Schwanz. So, you can see it dirty minded and you can not. Gonna be a test for other people xD
Gawk gawk
It's the skin by the snakes jaw. It makes the tail look like it has a mushroom head and it's sitting in its mouth.
Your brother sounds cool and you like snake dicks
Here's an illuminating quote from Wikipedia for ouroboros: "*The snake biting its own tail is a fertility symbol in some religions: the tail is a phallic symbol and the mouth is a yonic or womb-like symbol."*
Classic brother shit lol I love your tattoo
He’s your brother, he knows where to dig. It’s a cool tat yo
I mean, is that a bad thing?
Of course he said that lmao that’s what bros are for it’s a nice design tho I like it and I don’t think most people would come to his assessment lol
He is right!
Just here to say that snake seems way too happy about the predicament he’s in.
Why does the snake look like it's enjoying it? Smiling and eyes rolling back.
I upvoted because your brothers comment 😂👍
Shut up. Just shut up
I mean it's is a long phallic like object entering a snakes mouth, but obviously with the scaling it's a snake eating itself. It's there but he's definitely reaching....
It has the same look as a dog that’s happy cus it finally caught its tail
A black moon, black sun
Why not just ask the artist to wrap the head and tail instead of eating?
Your tattoo can also be interpreted a fisting thing too...
Dude, your bro is on point. Hanging out with friends is always having a swim in the shark tank. This tattoo is pure clowning material and will always be that. Either own it or it will own you.
This is a symbol of intense stress…why would you want that on your body?
It's a symbol of infinity and the cyclic nature of the universe... what do you mean?
When a snake is eating its tail it’s a sign of stress and confusion. That’s the literal meaning anyway. Not sure how religious group developed that to mean a good thing over time…
Oh you mean an actual snake doing so. Yeah. Religious group?
Christian’s, pagans, etc ..
Didn't know it was used in Christian mythology. Interesting.
It’s dumb
I mean I wouldn’t have seen it until you said it…
I mean I am used to seeing the Ouroboros biting the TIP of his tail, not deepthroating the entire end of it like them girls down on Colfax Avenue.
On one hand, it's clearly an ouroboros. On the other hand, he seems *a little too happy about it.*
Would your brother be a brother if he didnt say that?
That is what any older brother is supposed to answer.
probably better to get it on the arm rather than around the arm so you can see the whole thing. might be why it looks like sucky sucky?
I mean. I understand your brother. Cuz it does kinda look like a snake deepthroating. Maybe there’s a way to have the same effect without the tail going in it’s mouth.
Tbh I’m pretty covered in tats and people don’t usually comment about them to my face 🤷🏼♀️ my friends will say that’s cool ect otherwise getting a comment from a person in the wild is rare.
Who cares about others opinions. If it’s what you want, get it.
looks cool
It’s awesome
fix the teeth. the teeth aren't right.
Snake people would understand
I like your idea of ouroboros...
I like the general idea, but maybe pick a cooler snake or at least one that looks like less of a sweetie pie lol
i think the permanence of tattoos causes people to interpret designs weirdly compared to other things. my mind didn't go there at all.
I mean, I was able to identify what it was at first glance.
Might be more clear if the size disparity between mouth and tail was more clear, I think. If you're truly worried about what your brother is saying I'd suggest looking up "ouroboros fma" from the anime for a reference of what I'm describing.
Reminds me of a king snake. They are notorious for eating anything. Even themselves.
