Hi everyone! The mods have had some confusion regarding some of the recent tattoo posts. Since Beach House blew up on TikTok, we've been struggling with bots posting all sorts of photos on the sub. We try to judge these posts as best we can but, you know, art's subjective. To make things easier on us and fairer for you, we decided it's best to have some basic rules regarding tattoo posts.

Each new tattoo post has to follow each of these criteria:

1. Tattoos must be related to the band Beach House.

2. The majority of the posted photo has to be of the tattoo, and/or the tattoo has to be the focal point of the photo.

3. Each post has to have a brief description of how the tattoo in the image is related to Beach House.

4. Each post should include the new "Tattoos" flair.

We all have different ideas on art, nonetheless how to represent what we feel about Beach House, so we hope this new screening process will be more objective. This won't be a perfect system, so please contact us through ModMail if you have questions or concerns.
