Trypophilia and Trypophobia: A Picture Thread? (Not exactly NSFW but some deeply disturbing images in here)

Is this more like it?

Does this Act commercial bother anybody?

yeah, buff, that painting is pretty close.

i was born the year before yellow sub came out, but i think we had the soundtrack album and/or a picture book. my mom was a huge beatles fan so i grew up w that stuff.

oh hey, turns out the sculpture i mentioned earlier is called "vintage car of the future" and was built by frederick rowland emett:

It looks like a giant insect. If this is supposed to be a car, where in the hell do you sit?

Your mom and I must be close in age. The Beatles came to America when I was in high school in the early 60's.

The painting of the guy with red hair is from a phobia website. Obviously, this one represents trypophobia.

If this is supposed to be a car, where in the hell do you sit?

this question troubled me greatly at the time

taht car gives me the cooties

Latham, you can't get cooties, you have to be born with them!!

You just say that because you are afraid of the circles and dots necessary for childhood inoculation.

omg buffandmaxsmom is jenny mccarthy

please for the betterment of mankind lock this thread.
i don't fear death no mo'. i fear an exorbitant of holes okay?

ok, this is a doodle I doodled months before I had even heard of trypophobia:

please for the betterment of mankind lock this thread.

ignoring a phobia doesn't make it go away. at best you can just hide it away for a long time until it inevitably sprouts up stronger than ever in a sickening mass of clusters and holes and pods and baby toads that take over your brane. better just to put it all out in the open and let exposure therapy do its trick.

i.e. pretty soon you are so desensitized to holes, cluster, etc. that you begin to dream of a career as a beekeeper or something.

what's that comic from, Nunez?

shit yeah, uzumaki! so great, this is my favorite:

her eyeball twirling down the spiral into the recesses of her skull!

movie's excellent too, if a bit less inventively depraved

tryppin

the comic is "holes" or "punctures" by shintaro kago. it's about a guy who is so afraid of getting holes in things,
he pre-emptively puts holes in everything.

oops, assumed it was from junji ito's uzumaki, even though i didn't recognize the image (haven't read all 3 volumes). duh, lol.

kaga's stuff doesn't look anything like ito's, after all. he's a much cleaner draftsman, for one thing, and his layout are amazing! need to track some of his books down, as i've seen his art in various places for ages w/out realizing it.

Buzza, I wish!

That kid's teeth are out of alignment, lousy shop job. Just sayin'.

gtforia - I think you may have to show that drawing to a shrink for an answer to your question.

nah, I think it's probably a real, undoctored photo. it looks like the piercing has forced the boy's mouth into a raised-up frown so that his bottom lip is level with his upper teeth. I can contort my mouth into the same position without difficulty.

many people on the snopes forum seem to think it's real, not that they're necessarily experts.

gtforia estfufan please be considerate - i can't take it

I'd do anything for you, Latham Green
I'll give trypophobia up
If that's what I should do
To make you happy

I'm just saying - I had to look away from the screen - I am very fragile

eh? all I posted was a link to a discussion about a photo that someone else had already posted here. I wasn't aware that I'd done anything offensive...

well.. I ... forgive - i will pick up the pieces of my life

Stevie: infected hair follicles

Latham, you are a handsome guy

Everyone: How do you place a post between other posts instead of it putting it at the bottom?

You don't.

OK, thanks, WmC ... it looks like that was done.

if you want to make it clear that you're responding to something someone said previously (we say "upthread"), just copy that post into the "Add a Post" box and place your response after it.

Exactly. You can italicize it or block-quote it to indicate that it is a quote from upthread.

Ouch!

OK, HOW DO YOU DELETE A POST? I GOOFED AND POSTED THE ABOVE PHOTO TWICE.
