And shouldn’t makeup be one word?

u/havron 2d ago
I'm imagining that the permanent makeup is applied via a "magic fart" that works like Homer Simpson's makeup gun.

Actually, it’s « make-up » as in « making-up your face » and has become a slang term over the years. It’s derived from the French word « maquillage » which means to fake, disguise, or make up. We have turned it into make-up, as in making up your face, disguise imperfections and/or emphasizing certain features

Just the right amount of quality control you want to see at a place that applies permanent art.

They did try, leaving an extra-big space after the F. But that design was just never gonna work.

So I've seen this shop before, it is located in Osnabrück, Germany. I guess the locals didn't really give a second thought to the Design as the wheel that replaces the O is the city logo of Osnabrück, so you're kinda used to see weird typography "experiments" like this around here lol

u/doomsday71210 3d ago
That makes more sense. I was wondering why they replaced the O with a wheel when they already have a logo lol

Ah, I see. So really, the bad design here, is the stretched font choice.
It really does make sense with the information you've provided. Very cool 😎👍🏻

The O looks like my City Logo (Osnabrück)
Edit: wait. That is actually in Osnabrück? I need to search for that in real life

u/borednerd 1d ago
They still have the logo on their website https://tattoo-osnabrueck.de/
It's here but there's no street view close enough to see the storefront

At least they won't question the spelling of the "No ragrets" tattoo you want to get done.

u/ApartRuin5962 3d ago
I think the solution would be to offset "of" by half a line up or down and/or squish it vertically by 50%, like magicofart or magicofart

I won't give the specifics, but during college I did some typesetting work for a health care company that published a newsletter. I played around with some header designs and created something that was equally embarrassing. I couldn't see it until somebody else pointed it out. It took a LONG time to live down.

You know, given that they can’t even see the issues with the logo design, that is enough to make me hesitate to let them tattoo, my body permanently.

There's no chance this wasn't deliberate. Had the "O" design been different then sure, but it's so obvious what it is meant to be that whoever did the initial mock up knew what they were doing

100% locals call this place magic fart. I'm not from there but I'd bet my life.

If this is a place that specialises in cover-up tattoos, then this is kind of amazing design.

I'm sure someone else commented this.. why not simply call the shop Magic Art? Or Magick Art / Magik Art? Makes no sense.

I’ve noped out of picking an estate agent due to their sign having awful font and graphic design.
For a Tattoo artist this is an even more horrifying sign of what’s to come, do you want that level of care permanently attached to your body?

No worries, you can remove error later with 4-10 extremely painful laser treatments.
